Anybody use the Drimaster tool?
Would like one but the price is a bit off putting @ £400 + the dreaded.
Anywhere cheaper?
What amount of water do they go through at 400 psi?
Watching the videos they look the dog's so might have to splash out.
I am a Yorkshireman don't forget.

you don't need 400psi with the drimaster, i use mine at around 200psi and its more than enough.

@400psi i'd empty my 60gallon tank in about 40 mins, thats a rough guess though.

for me the drimaster is like a barclay card, i wouldn't leave home without one.

i have got the right card an i

I’m of Jewish origin Passover in two weeks , so take a back seat , got my cfr a lot cheaper and it’s metal 

[Joe H]

Len - is right, the CFR a lot cheaper.

You can get a 5" head plus the conversion hose for £310

a 3" head is an extra £160

All prices plus VAT, and that applies to the£400 for the drimaster.

CFR is really a good tool and with the different size heads makes it very versatile.

Are they the same thing only different name or do they differ in some ways  re - cleaning  not looks.

60 gallon in 40 minutes is a lot of water.
Anybody use them successfully with a Porty?

I use the Drimaster hand tool with my PowrFlite porty.  I have to turn the pressure down to about 100psi and only use half to two thirds throttle on the drimaster valve, and I still go through approx 60 litres to clean a 3 piece suite.
I also have the CFR hand tool, but I prefer the Drimaster in most cleaning situations. It leaves the upholstery drier also.

Wasn't that one on e bay couple of weeks back Derek, think you posted it??

John

[derek west]

yeah same one john, think he put it at £150 starting bid and it didn't get a bid, be interesting to see if it goes over £150 now he's dropped the starting price which gets people interested in the first place.

[JandS]

Might go for it.
You reckon it's a bargain Derek?
Suppose @ £400 new it is really.
Sorry £470 with the dreaded.

Hi Guys

I have it and like Derek usually use it at 200, sometimes 300.

It does use a lot of water but also leaves the suite much drier than other tools.

I got mine in last years CCDO charity auction for 280, so a bargain I suppose.( Kindly donated by Hydramaster)

I'm thinking of getting the CFR as my new toy and see what it's like!

Cheers

Doug

[Len Gribble]

It’s funny my Prochem tm upholstery tool dose the same it cleans ouch £345 I can never get my head around drier/drying times .

Kleenrite is also a good tool think they are about £240

Got mine for £200quid 3” and 5” and a bloody long hose very versatile

E bay It’s got a cracking round the thread metal fugitive methinks but possible a bargain at nearly ½ price 

[derek west]

not sure i'd buy that one with the crack john, i'd post on the buy sell section on here, wanted drymaster tool. sure someone will have one for sale at around the 200 mark. the new one is out so there should be a few old ones knocking about.

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Guys

Mine is the new one, Drimaster 2 I believe.

The one on ebay does look well used!

Cheers

Doug

Derek

The crack is in the viewing panel which can easily be replaced.
Does look well used but still a decent price considering new price.
Take it that when you use one there is no need to sheet up as there is no overspray?

John

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Sheeting up is part of the performance, you can get golden globe and oscar nomination from your customer for it.
