am hopefully going up north to purchase a prowler next week any advice any 1 has would be sound

[brianbarber]

Joe uses one and he is very happy with it, he knows all the wrinkles.

What are you hoping the Prowler will do for you?

[andrew christopher]

Iv got one, i like it has speeded things up for me gives a great clean easier. Takes couple weeks to really see the benefit. You will have no worries with any teething  problems or advice as John Kelly is a top bloke and will sort anything out.

[markpowell]

Never had the chance to see a prowler in action, but what i can tell you is that John & Lynn at Restoremate are really nice people who will go the extra mile to ensure that their customers are happy, you will not be dissapointed.

Got one, had it for two years now, wouldn't be without it, simple straightforward machine that does the job and earns the money, more powerful than and any porty and faster too.

What I really like is the fact that there is no waste tank and also it is easy to get in and out of the van, thus allowing the van to be used for other things than just carpet cleaning.

[Joe H]

Yes there is a growing number of Prowler owners, and I have not yet heared any owner grumble about them yet - tells you something.
Mine is the larger 15 hp machine, but the latest 13 hp machine is just as good IMO for all domestic and most commerical jobs you would do.
The 13hp has a Honda engine that is used in a lot of power washers, meaning parts are readily available.
In the hands of a trained operator these machines will do a lot of good for the bank balance.
Life becomes easier with no bucketing - either clean or waste water.
13 hp will fit in a Cit Dispatch type vehicle, but room left over for ancillary bits, but obviously a bigger van will hold more.

How much fuel does a prowler go through in an hour?

Shaun

[Joe H]

errr - pass.

Its like asking me how many mpg does my van do.

I havnt a clue - all I know is I have to feed it to earn some money.  Same with the Prowler.

Revs out at about 3260 - if thats any use (and it probably isnt).

[Shaun_Ashmore]

No not really, I usually (honest) know how much I put in my tank in a week and I check the hours because I need to know that for maintenance and then a quick sum and mine comes to £2.30-£2.50 an hour LPG though.

Shaun

[Joe H]

I suppose that would be accurate to a good degree over a longer period of time.
To check the hours over a short period (say a week) could throw the figures. I say that on the basis the next time you fire up, within a minute (say) the meter may jump to the next hour.

I suppose I could go back over the months I have had the machine and work it out that way - may do that when I have time.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Perhaps you are right may be over 2o hours but I do that every week so it's an easy calculation.

Shaun

[mark shannon]

£3 p/h on my 318 imagine the Prowlers a tad less?

[fresh]

thanks for all coments cant wait glad to hear they are good people to deal with hopefully the work keeps coming in to earn some money back on it.
they explained to me they have just upgraded the prowler but still at same cost so cant grumble.

[Aquakleen Restoration Services]

Yeah the best people in the business to deal with BY FAR!

[nevil]

Good luck with the prowler. Always fancied one myself. I like the idea of being able to empty the van and use it for other things if need be.

I see you are calling yourself fresh. We need to work out how much you are going to pay me for using my company name

How about 10% of all the business you do. 

[JandS]

For a semi TM it's vacuum is only the same as my porty.
Thought it might have been a bit more powerful.

John

[Peter Sweeney]

Lyn and John are dean nice people. Easy to deal with and very helpful.

[carpet_care]

Once you get used to the prowler if going from a portie you wont regret it .

 You can get through the work far quicker it makes life so much easier and John kelly is always on the other end of the phone if you need him top bloke.



 Regards Andy Locke.

[John Kelly]

John, can you expand on how the vacuum is the same as your portable.
