Price might not be the issue. Maybe it's the logistics. Take Old Coastie's advise. Send it to me with brush head COD at $1700 through USPS or similar. Otherwise I'll be buying one from my local supplier.
I am using mine and loving it. It isn't faster than a wand, but the amount of sand and gook it pulls out is incredible. No doubt; the quality of my work has gone up a LOT. Nice thing is, it does all the work, too.
