Ignore Marty.
I just got a new Pro 1200. Good machine. As previous posters said, you cannot compare Pro 1200 to the
570. You can compare it to a
CDS or a
Butler.
It produces plenty of heat and suction.Given I am not a fire breather fan. Psi control is a work in progress as unlike the
CDS it does not have a water box, so it will not go lower than about 275 psi. Also controlling the dwire (solution) meter is hard when machine is in medium (it has low,medium,& hi). I can and do work with all doors locked (whole in side door step (not in door.)
Design is not super space saver as in the
CDS, however once I got it figured out and put everything in it's right place, I pretty much got almost as much space as the
CDS (my other van). Plenty of storage room in a non extended Chevy. I do have the L recovery tank + electric hose reel. No solution reel or water pond.
Hope this helps.
If you have to compare it, I also had a
ProChem Apex which is a slide in, pretty similar to the 570. The Apex was a good machine. However, in the city I much prefer a PTO, but then I've been using PTO's for the last 25 years. You know the deal about old dogs and new tricks, right?
