airflex?
« on: August 18, 2014, 04:55:19 pm »
Been thinking of buying an air flex but I've been told from a friend that they are prone to faults and to stear clear of them, bearing in mind he has been told this from his machine supplier and hasn't used one himself, thoughts please??

That's all he said ian, he didn't mention anything specific, think its a local supplier.

I think the tripple had a few problems but not heard too many bad things about the Storm, although saying that a mate of mine from Stafford bought a brand new Storm a few months ago and one of the motors blew after about ten hours

I've had two Airflex's, first was a Pro 130psi and my current one the Storm which i have had nearly three years, not had a problem with either of them.

A  friend of mine who has a franchise operates a storm. He initially had several problems with the motors going, also the machine cutting out. After being returned to cleansmart several times, it has now been in constant use for about 18months with no problems.

I would definately buy one.

Regards, Steve.

Now coming up to 3 years for our storm, one vac motor which was an amtech issue thin bearing casing or something like that. Anyway replaced free. Always been very pleased with the service and back up and despite probably having people local I take it back to Cleansmart for servicing.

I have a Storm that has been in constant use for the last 18 months, with no problems at all.  I find Cleansmart excellent to deal with.
