All I know is I passed up a pretty smokin deal on a SS870 from the feedback I've gotten from users...... I'll stick with finding an Everest 650hp...

I like that compare tool...i was comparing 460 to 2500 SS, they have some identical parts...such as pump...why cant the 460 also produce 2500 as well? It seems that the 460 has everything that 2500 has but with a 408 blower

With other units you'd have to pull the prime hose out, put vacuum load on it until it primed. Then stick it back in the tm solution just to adjust the chem meter flow. Not a huge deal but something you no longer have to screw with.

I'm just guessing here, but I bet 2,500 is with little or no heat.. I'm thinking they bypass the heat exchangers at that pressure??

Ya I don’t think my 570
Or pro1200 needs to
Pull the
Prim hose out.

They run the prim side to the vacuum inlet hose and it automatically primes

You are dual wanding with this:
Both the SS570 and PC650 are now delivering 13" hg. Why ???

View attachment 75843
Maybe they want to be able to pull the wand off the carpet. Once you are past 10 inches hg, it's the air flow that counts. An Everest cleaning at 10 inches is way more powerful than a blazer cleaning at 10 inches.

I thought the ideal lift is 12-14hg, and after that you want good CFM

Maybe because in the interest of longevity and decreasing warranty issues they don't run everything balls to the wall?

The majority of medium pressure blowers are run at more power than 13".

The fact that air-cooling is ducted to the belts on some TMs may have some relevance.
