soundsgood and looks ok but thats the yanks for you how much is it what about servicing

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Only got 1 vac in it would not like to use 500psi with just one vac!

and it is HUGE! imagine trying to get it upstairs because you would have to seeing how short the hose is on the hose reel, what is the point in that?

Surely the Alltec Advance or indeed any Triple Vac with 600psi of pressure would be a better option and it's on your door step!

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Yes but colin 600psi is not enough this machine also has a 1200psi pump in it why they didn't just have the one pump in it and make it variable psi is beyond me. They could have then freed up space to put 2 more vac motors in it.

Can you imagine the weight of the thing absolutely ridiculous.

and the one vac is a 7.2", which I understand is not as good/reliable as the 5.7" (think I am right on that).

[Colin Day]

Goron, I missed that salient piece of information, Alltec Advance does do a 1200psi model but you lose a motor..... 2's still better than 1 I suppose!

[deep-cleaningukltd]

Alltec have a 1200psi pump available for their Advance; oh and triple vac's; oh and a Hydroforce SX12......Job done I think.

And by the way; the pump is variable as well.

Derek.

If you'll offer to pay my air fare and 5 star hotel accommodation, I'll be happy to bring my gear over for you to try.

You don't loose a motor. The heater and third vac are on the same circuit, you either have the heater on or the third vac motor. For hard floors however you don't need heat and, almost, never need the third vac.

Sorry Colin

I mean 'lose' not 'loose'. Frozen fingers!!
