Yes agree not the best looking but would you say it's one of the best. If you had to choose from scorpion or airflex storm what would you go for?.

[scott johns]

have you looked at alltec range

[clayton taylor]

Ye has a look at them but brought it down to airflex of scorpion but don't know which one to go for. Lol

[John Kelly]

We've sold loads of Storms this year, got to be the best machine on the market. Designed and built in the UK. Simple to maintain, vac motor can be changed in 10 minutes.

Are you buying new or used? If new do you mean the Jag rather than Scorpion?

Both used either scorpion or airflex storm.

Looks like it's going to be the storm. Are the parts expensive?.

[sean oregan]

All the serviceable parts I.e vac's and pump are pretty muchthe same I believe so it's down to who you buy from.

Oops storm has 2 x 6.6 vac's and pump that goes up to 800p.s.i, scorpion has 3 x 5.7 vac's and pump upto 500 p.s.i I think.

storm is awesome..............    i love mine, scorpion is a bit oputdated, i think, i may be wrong.   jag has similar power but looks a bit home made, in my opinion......

[Richard Cole]

I've owned the Scorpion and Storm and as others have said Scorpion is not much to look at but is a powerful machine.  The Storm on the other hand is in a different league and win's hands down in  my opinion, reliable, easy to maintain and looks the part, owned mine from new for three years until i sold up and packed up c.c. back in the Summer.  Also you need to factor in that the Scorpion is likely to be getting on a bit now as it was replaced by the newer Jag around 3 years ago so its likely to be at least 3 years old and maybe considerably older.

[Richard Cole]

If its an older Scorpion it may even be a 300psi.

[Carpet Dawg]

What you doing now Richard?

[Richard Cole]

I am doing adwords for a few people got Google certified earlier this year and i am also in the process of opening a gift shop with my wife, previously had my own gift shop for 17 years.

[John Kelly]

Good luck with your new venture Richard.

reduce one slice of the pie (sinners circle) and you need to increase one of the others. so if you work without heat you need to increase say mechanical action.  or dwell times. thats why people use microsplitter with these machines

  Ian I dont think thats the reason , as you can buy a inline heater if you need heat, or you can use a decent crb .

I think that the majority of scorpion users in my experience are  dedicated cc that strive to clean carpets to the best of their abilities in a eco manner and that's a reason they may use microsplitters ,also they tend to work in a market area where they are cleaning carpets that are not that dirty, so there is no necessity for heat, but strive for faster drying times  .

They tend to work on a repeat work culture instead of the  high numbers game that allows them to avoid advertising cut price offers and advertising low cost fb ads.

this doesn't apply to all but from what I have seen it seems to be the case . I don't own one and still don't use heat very often
