Er, yes Neil.

The Pro Plus - which is the SAME as the Advantage/Advance. Superb machine except down on power in all areas which is what I have been saying ::) And since changing a couple of years ago have noticed a big improvement in performance and results compared to that machine.

You know there are other machines out ther that will give you better lift & better heat, 2 major benefits in my opinion. Also autofill - because you have to keep filling with buckets this drags a job on unecessarily which doeant help when your in a hurry.

Try not to use the rose coloured lenses - there are other manufacturers about that can benefit your business aswell.

I know their are others companies out their selling good equipment but do not have a problem with the advantages airflow.

I can only say it as I see it, what temp do you clean at for the elements to take so long to heat the water, plenty of products out their that dont need super heated water. These machines come with Auto Fill and Auto dump as well but they are an extra cost.

Even if you need hot water their is plenty to do whilst you are waiting for the water to heat up so i have never had a problem waiting for the water to get to temp.

Not really major issues with the machine as I see it but for the money and the unquestionable customer service its worth it for me and the refferals I am getting tell me that its upto the task.

Kev what machine do you use?

Anyway its friday and 19 degrees and I sitting in the garden after a hard mornings work having a beer.

Have a good weekend.

I dont have to wait for the temp to warm up as I dont use that system anymore! We use Mytee's to great effect which have 2 x inline heat exchangers. There's nothing worse than getting to a job and find that the custy has used all their hot water >:(

Because we have a 250ltr tank fitted aswell we hardly ever have to fill up on the job unless its a penthouse ;). We will hopefully upgrade again later on in the year to a Prowler.

As Ive said in my earlier posts, I think their machines are fantastic quality but need the extra oomph to make them unbeatable IMO.

Having a beer in the garden sounds like a good idea Neil - think I'll do the same ;D

If its more power you want, then you all know the obvious answer - Truck Mount.
I went from a Prochem Cheyanne 2 and a Pro Plus to an entry level TM, a Steamway Sidekick, and recently to a Thermal Wave 2. There comes a time when you do want more power than can be provided by a porty, when this time comes, there s only one way to go.
