Anyone thinking of buying the ETM would seriously need to think about how practical it would be given the variety of locations it is likely to be used in, purely from the perspective of feeding it power. A first or second floor apartment where you can only take the power from the apartment which could be 100 feet from the entrance? EOT's with no power in them. Places where you cannot park near to the building. At least with a comparable portable you can take the machine to the job.
Nice looking piece of kit though.

You have a good point Simon and this is one of the reasons i opted for a porty which can be van mounted or (most of the time) removed and taken to the location.
There is no doubt at all that this machine is powerful, the heating system to me looks totally inefficient and pointless, the easiest way to heat the water without having to run another cable to the van would be to use a little giant LPG in line heater which should produce post-pump hot steaming water.
I know this isnt the thread to do a full review about the machine, but if i am honest i thought it looked a little cheap and flimsy for all that cash, the recovery tank was also tiny so you are totally relying on the auto dump and auto de foam to work... the cost to replace 4 vacs would break your heart!
ETM's still need to be developed to compete with regular TM's... but they are getting there...
