Hi Guys,
I`v pretty much made my mind up to get a Speedster.
My main concern is the weight, after being used to a Steampro.
How worried should I be? I know I can run extra lengths of hose
but it will still have to be humphed up the stairs on occasions on my own.
Cheers Rab

hi Rabby

i also have the speedster had it for about 2 months now
all in a very good machine for the money.

getting it up stairs is not really a problem
just take it up back wards it has 10 inch wheels
on the back so fairly easy.

it wont be much harder than the steampro machine

I regularly take my rhino 3 vac machine (heavier I think than Speedster) up stairs without any problems, big wheels with these machines make it a breeze.

As for tripping switches, will admit it has only happened to me twice, but at one of these properties the customer informed me that she had dodgy electrics and that sometimes even happened when she put the iron on.

I have done many jobs with the Rhino now and it has been great for me.

Darren72,

The pump in the Speedster is a pumptec pump, the same as the one in the Hydro Vantage - which supplier told you that?

Gary is that what the 400psi pump is on the Ninja?

I'm considering upgrading by getting one of those and a vac box and if I win the lottery a steamate too.

May upgrade myself but by upgrading my ninja's. Pimp my Ninja!

Gary,

Still got a standard Ninja, but need more speed, hence truckmount idea.

Just wondering if my vacmotors are under par cos at 50ft I'm overly not impressed.

If I move up to 400psi will I need to change all my jets, and if so to what?

Vacs? Dunno, standard ones I guess. Spose there are any more efficient ones I can replace them with? I reckon if I could tm half my jobs ie under 75ft I would be happy for now.

Might get a gauge then cos no way would mine be any use at 100ft.
