I was at Jon-don earlier this week taking a class. Anyway I was able to get a demo of an airpath running. I thought I'd share my opinion of the machine.
First let me say that it's a nice looking machine and looks like quality. Also let me say that I couldn't demo it in a full room of wet carpet so I still have no first hand experience as to how dry times go. But my experience from the air movement left me scratching my head. Needless to say I didn't think there was much airflow on the floor at a distance of 5 or so ft away from it. From what everyone said about it I was expecting much more airflow. Shoot my snail airmovers move more air around and if you point it at an angle at a wall you can get more airmovement in an open room than what the airpath seemed to produce. I was also expecting a bigger motor, and to me the motor seemed fairly small to do what is advertised.
Anyways I left with the impression that it's not worth near 525 bucks they want for it. I think it's worth maybe 3-400 at the very most. The only think that would change my mind is if I used one and it really did what they say and it dried a 12x12 room in 10 minutes and in the humid part of the world I'm at.
