Anyone bought / used one. Good tool / bad tool. Your thoughts please chaps.

[Radek Jablonski]

Is this not a sapphire?

[adrian marsh]

I know what you mean Radek, but no, it's a Rotovac bit of kit. Different design, apparently.

[creighton foyle]

russ chad did a video of one being used on Facebook , he rates it.

[Paul Redden Countryfresh]

Bought one at Tacca day, Paul Pearce said best one he ever used or was he on commission 
It is awesome, yes it is not as dear as a sapphire,  Two rows of jets go at 30 deg
at opp angles. If the plastic jet head gets damaged/worn its cheap and easy to replace.

Built in filter and flow control and velcro cuff to cover controls.

Well, hand in pocket and ordered one on the Alltec day Bit of an issue with setting them up correctly, so I'm told, but awsome when matched to your machine.

[Robin Ray]

The sapphire seemed rubbish when i first got it but once it was set up properly I found it to be the best upholstery tool I have ever used. I imagine the rotovac sheardry to be very similar.

Because there is no water spraying all over the place like a conventional tool you think its not rinsing properly but it definitely is!

Do you get instructions on how to set up?

[Mike Halliday]

How much discount did the give? I was hoping  to attend my selve but was just too busy with the HP course this week

I would have bought one myself

If only someone from alltec from reading this and offered to exstendees the open day price

[creighton foyle]

yes £250 plus the dreaded is a lot easier to swallow than £300 + but it does look like a nice bit of kit.

[Mark Slaney]

  What instructions? been using mine for about a month, no instructions that i know of? Just connect, adjust the flow control and vac release if needed.

Erm, erm..............I'll check

Creighton: A little bit more than that. It had 10% off, so £269 + vat.

What with other pieces of kit, new & second hand, I need a lie down, I've just added it all up

And commissions Karra?

Just used my new toy on the arms of our sofas. Had to double check there was water flow to the tool the fabric was so dry. Very impressed. Might even have been prepared to have paid more............or perhaps not

[Russ Chadd]

It's a good tool and I have quite a collection of upholstery tools!
Great on large cushions... The inline flow control is very sensitive and you have to set it just right or you will use loads of water... Too little and you will struggle to rinse... There is a sweet spot and the more you use it the easier it is to find it

[stuart_clark]

Russ

I've just ordered one, what pressure are you setting it at the machine ?

[neil 47]

Think I'll wait till the Chinese start making it 

[stuart_clark]

You could wait forever mate, they haven't made the saphire yet and ive owned one of them for four years now

[Shaun_Ashmore]

It's probably made in China anyway
