When i spoke to tony he was saying the machine came in around 2500 also you would want 2" hose.

There all 3 stage vacs.

Think form the ampage it might have extra cable maybe am not sure.

The thing with alltec is they do research and dont just put an extra vac in withought thought.

Wont be much heavier with the extra vac.

Also remmember there will be times you wont want to run the extra vac etc.

Didnt get a chance to see it mind you but guess it willl be like the advantage maybe sharing a swith with the heater

Alltec, I have been told, have been putting triple vacs to order in both the Advantage and the Advance for quite some time.  If this is true, then they've had plenty of time to develop the the machine. I suspect it will be good from day one.

The early Advantage had an either/or arrangement for the heater and used just one cable. Turn the machine off and the heater worked. Turn the machine on and the heater went off. After a while, they went over to two cables so the heater could be on all the time.  I'm wondering if they could be using this system again.  I'm no electrican, but 3 cables from a machine doesn't feel right and could possibly be a logistics problem. Many two cord machines have been known to be pushing the amperage limit on some ring mains.

Do you mean the one they used in the film Cool Running? Even "Uncle Buck" himself fitted in that machine

Hi Guys

I specifically ordered my Advantage a few years ago with two leads as I am a great believer in heat.

I would suspect the 3 vac machine would probably allow two vacs plus heater, or 3 vacs but only a guess.

If three leads then almost the same a using an inline heat exchanger.

Cheers

Better getting the van signed up - more people going to see it.

I think I would rather upgrade to a truckmount than mess about with all the cables.

[daysdeepclean]

It's hardly a chore setting cables up unless your a ham fisted gimp

[Derek_Walker]

Colin, ham fisted no ,

Solution hose, vacuum hose, 3 cables for machine, cable for electric sprayer, cable for envirodri, Iwould spend more time skipping than carpet cleaning

You forgot the bucketing when using a porty, clean water then dirty water.
Thats the bit I miss the most - NOT

[Mike Osbourne]

I agree with Gimp Boy 

You also have filling and emptying, less heat (which makes a big difference), vacuuming and agitation is sometimes optional  :, but apart from that there's not much in it.

 

[daysdeepclean]

You forgot turbo dryers Derek

I'm sure it would be crap for you guys to go back to using a porty, but as I don't know any different, I'm happy plodding away 'til I can afford a TM.... From acorns and all that!!!!

[Derek_Walker]

Mike you are correct, I forgot the vacuum cable
