Terry
Did woodbridge explain the problem?
Was it something they knew about and couldnt rectify?

[Terry_Burrows]

Joe I test drove this on tuesday last week it would not get hot, I went bck next day they said a wire was off one of the heaters test drove again all good,saturday 40 mins into the job no heat all dead,sunday opened up machine to find the inline heater both safety buttons had blew out,this problem I had with another machine started to bring back bad memorys : took it back today
John very fair and helpful but he to did say inline heaters can have there moments,I just decided to give this machine a miss,for me somthing is not quite right but fair play to woodbridge they are good people to deal with and found them very helpful and they were very understanding because they know of my problems with machines in the past, I now not sure what to get

Sounds like the machine has no kind of bypass on so when you stop work and the water stops flowing it still heats up until it trips the upper limit stat.
Prochem heat and run inline heaters do this too.
On a Ninja you can open the bypass valve if you stop wanding and the water goes back to the clean tank.

steam mate built i and a heater in the tank cost £3,100 ish in vat

the ninja is expensive but it is a brilliant bit of kit i have had mine for 18 months with no problems and the heat the built in steam mate generates even from cold water is amazing.

Hi Trevor,

For what its worth i would recommend the Powerflite Perfect heat pfx1350. The built in heater has a 3 year warranty, it works very well indeed. If you still have the inline heater you picked up from Woodbridge, then this would ensure you get plenty of steam.

Give Karl a ring at Amtech their always helpful.

Agree with Joe had my Powerflight 1350 for a year now its a top machine the heat is great on it just make sure it comes with the Imperial Vacs.

[Terry_Burrows]

some one told me that there is a problem with the dump tank leaking into the insides

[Darren O]

Never had a problem with mine leaking.

[AJB]

No problems with leaks at all. Main problem is slopping
water when filling.
Once you get the technique no trouble. In 3 years only
problem with heater is one bi-metallic switch broke, about
£2 for a new one.
Amtech stopped using Chinese vac's.

|Hi what model do you have

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Terry although I am now trucky I started out with the 400psi Ninja built in tank heater and built in steam mate nothing went wrong in three years Brilliant bit of kit. I would not part with it still use it when I have to. The big advantage with having an in tank heater is you are then passing already hot watwer over the heat exchanger which makes a massive differance you won't be disapointed.

Hi Tony once had a ninja 135 psi heater I am now going to wait untill the show I am looking at the Powerflight which has same
more or as the ninja,the only thing I dont like about the ninja its looking a bit dated body wise I do agree with you they are tried

and take one less home

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

OR go TM

the only thing I dont like about the ninja its looking a bit dated body wise I do agree with you they are tried

I think it was Jim Neal who once said to someone who said that:

Do you want to clean carpets with it or shag it! 

[AJB]

Terry i have the PFX 1350 Perfect heat.
Tap hot water in the tank, means burnt fingers
on the brass parts at 50'.
Ninjas are good i have an old one as back up still,
but the Powrflite makes it look like a toy

[Terry_Burrows]

Thanks I have spoken to Karl at Amtec and I am going to wait now I will be at the show e said he would do a deal at the show
might get a good few bob off : well they be happy not to take another one home
