Cheers for the replies,these fsc`s are not as simple as they look. I know that often people sell them and say they are a waste of time as they have to go over everything with a turbo nozzle anyway. In my opinion and experience though, i think they are an excellent tool to have even if just to try and keep the muck spray contained. I had supposedly bought a 21 inch mosmatic but on my way to the bank to send the money to northern ireland this morning the guy sent me a text to say his dad sold it yesterday,thats after agreeing the deal(was 2nd hand),exchanging e-mails,texts, phone conversations,him having it bubble wrapped ready for posting(i was paying the p+p),sending me his bank details and all agreed for bank opening,it was on gumtree at £190,thought i had finally managed to get a bargain as the description was good. So if anyone on here gazumped me i hope the head bearings are Kaput,its come with the wrong jets for your machine and overheats your pump,the hose bursts and at least 2 castors shear off completely on first use. In my head i know i should buy new then i know the history,does anyone recommend a particular type for reliability etc. I can`t remember the make of the last one i used but it was £800 ish(was told) hadn`t done much work,leaked at the rotor bit and the gun was permanantly jammed on.
I think maybe my basic question to the pro users is would i be better off in general paying more for a mosmatic than a whirlaway and getting 21 inch approx rather than 18 inch and does anyone recommend the techclean models and again if so is the bigger one in general a more sensible choice? Finally,whilst i am on i might as well keep going,15, 25 degree jets or 40. I would want mine to do what its supposed to do and do it well with hardly any going over again with a turbo nozzle required(i do know that can be dependent on whats needing cleaning). I have it scorched in my head not to skimp on tools but finances say look out for a hardly used bargain and then experience says its difficult to trust any seller these days and i come back round to having to buy new and then i would rather pay £700 for the right machine than £500 for a compromise which i later want to sell off because i have bought the one i should have bought in the first place.
