Be interested in any further details. Recently in touch with Alltec and I mentioned i'd heard they were due to launch a triple vac but Tony was rather tight lipped. Have not been that way for sometime, anyone had a sneaky peak??

Chated to tony last month n think its coming around 2500 with no hoses tools.

Has three vacs and a heater and a 600 pump.

Must say i might get it for a portie and use my others as back ups :)

It sounds the perfect machine the only thing is dont want to be used as a guinea pig big pump 3 vacs and a heater its a lot to cram into a machine as always with new machines there is always teething problems.I seen the Powerflight Perfect Heat PFX 1350 for the fist time in the flesh on tuesday its the best looking machine ive ever seen has anybody got one and are they any good there is a place selling them for £1995+vat and they are throwing in a Sebo 36 vac for free sounds a good deal.

Hi Darren

I've had a pfx1350 for about 6 months now, its a very good machine.I've had a couple of problems but that's sorted now.Plenty of constant heat, no need for COLD WATER rinsing!!.   Customers are taken a back when they see the size of it.

Darren if I know Alltec it will be very well thought out. Just had a pump and heating element put in pro plus and the engineer said it was one of the best laid out machines he'd worked on. There will probably be fans on board for cooling, the only thing that concerns me is if they are using grp for the body it will be bloody heavy! Just have to wait and see i've been tottering between the perfect heat and a scorpion, the Alltec makes the choice a harder one with the triple vacs and heat and it may give it the edge for me.

This sounds like a fantastic machine, I may well be interested as long as it fits in the van. Having realised the benefits of an extra 35 psi to my exel, I think even more psi with the extra lift will wow my customers even more.

The good thing about GRP is that it is so much easier to fix if it produces a split. If you're bothered about the weight, join a gym ;D ;D ;D

If Alltec bringing out a porty with 3 vacs, heat and a pump, will be interesting to see what they doing with the electrics.

I was thinking the same thing Joe but i think it was only a matter of time before somebody brought this spec of machine out thats why i would rather wait 6 months and listen to the feedback and reliability of the machine but i think 2inch vac is the way to go.

Maybe it has 3  2 stage vacs !  what type of pump? what type of heater ?
i would have thought something would have to give, to be run on 2 leads.

Weight would be interesting too, compared to the manageble scorpion at 85lbs

Cant really compare it till we know the exact spec and price.

I use a standard twinjet wand and single jet, not tried using the wonder wand set up.I'm unsure how much water it would use!!I did previously own a cfr altra 1000psi and the glide wand worked very well, but because it recycled the water it didn't matter how much you used.

WOW!!

3 vac motors,high psi pump and heater what more could you want!!

The current crop have one of these components missing,no heater or only 2 vacs.

 I started with a steameasy 200 70psi pump and single vac some 15 years ago.It would be interesting to see the difference between old and new.How much cleaner would the carpets be?

My customers were i think more then happy with results back then!


Could you compare a machine like this to maybe a first generstion truckmount?

I have been using the wonder wand and it really does reduce drying times
