Hi Robin , hope you are well mate, saw you driving past in paignton while I was on the school run This morning lol.

Anyway just wondered why not keep to your heated tank and just run an inline heater ? Won't that give the same level of heat as your expecting from the new system?

The airflow and lift look good for that machine, looking at entry level tm and the lift is a few hg lower with similar airflow, should run nicely.

I fancy a tm one day but with other commitments taking priority over the business I'm not busy enough to warrant it, though it's appealing if I get away with working less for the same money .

Anyway all the best with the machine I look forward to your usual in depth review

Cheers Mate, Yeh I was doing a job in Brixham, a bit out of my normal area, I did a massive karndean floor for them some time back and then they wanted their upholstery doing.

Yes i'm hoping the Escape will work really well. Yes I could use a heated tank and boost it with the magma but I wanted to keep the amount of cables at two.  Since I last posted about heat I have had some other options come up which should simplify thing even further. When I have fitted it all up i will make a video of how it all works. The machine arrives tomorrow so it probably won't be until after christmas now.

I hope business is going well for you. Cheers

Can't understand why anyone using a portable and then starts trying to adapt it to perform to the standards of a truckmount goes through all these scenarios.  Why not just upgrade to a truckmount?

I obviously don't think I am wasting my money otherwise I would have not bought it.

I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else come too that, that this way of doing things is the only and best way. It's just the way that I think is best for me and for my business.

I do think that time will tell if it works well or not, and I will keep every one posted on the results. As the results will speak for themselves it will be a shame for some if my meager investment with miniscule running costs were to give equally good results as their 20k + TMs. Many will say this is impossible!! But the facts will speak for themselves.

Hi Robin

Looking forward to the video after Christmas, just to see what i missed out on . :'(

I flip a coin and the Enforcer  won 2 out of 3 over the Escape.

Looking at getting the Ashbys booster box.
