What should my next portable be?
« on: November 24, 2016, 11:14:04 pm »
I have used Ninjas for over 20 years, and am about to get a new portable m/c. What are people's views on the Airflex and Prochem machines. I think the Enforcer is just too bulky for many of my jobs. Maybe another Ninja.

a ninja is like an enforcer with a worse body  , did u try an enforcer , its not cumbersome , and u have all the extra design details , like leave it out in a thunder storm  , neat cable and loading systems .
But u might like an airflex also .

I have had a quick play with an enforcer, but I am looking for something a little more compact. I just use a small van which fits into my garage, so I have to get all my clobber into the van.

I had same issue recently. All set to get the enforcer as a amazing design and machine however after a play I found it a little to big  for some of the domestics I clean.  Also the older ladies wouldn't like me leaving it outside with a door or window ajar. So got a new ninja with a 220psi pump. Only single vac but does a great job. It's also lighter so easier to move about. Highly recommend if doing alot of domestic work. Commercial wouldn't hesitate on the enforcer......

I very rarely take a machine indoors, never had anyone make any comment about the door being open, you are causing more issues to the customers air quality by taking a machine indoors.
I clean carpets
I dry Buildings

Completely agree with Jasonl, my airflex storm kept indoors creates incredible amounts of heat causing me sweat plus indoor air circulation drops to the lowest levels.

Referring to the subject I'd not use cleansmart services due to their poor customer service level, thereafter I suggest Alltec and theirs top range product - Evolution if am correct.

That's strange as I have heard nothing but good about cleansmart.

Although when I had an Alltec machine you couldn't fault the machines or the company .

In the depths of winter no one wants the doors left open,they may not say anything but still thinking it.

We used to bring it in and exhaust the heat out with vacuum hose attached to the back of machine and hung out of a window, cat flap or whatever,. much cleaner, warmer and less noise as well.

I know a lot more exhaust out under the machine nowadays so not making this possible, which is a shame.

Airflex mini or Alltec express if after small professional machine or their bigger bro's
Great machines and great service from both.
Restoremate also sell airflex I think and may also sell Alltec machines as they sell their chemicals

Hi
I have owned many of the machines  mentioned. One that rarely gets  mentioned and isn't on the list  is the texatherm emv201

It is a lot lighter than many on the above list .  It may not have the spec  of the motors of the others but is well engineered so can deliver excellent performance .  So a compact light set up with heater that's very reliable.

All you need.
