Pros/Cons? Dual wanding sounds very appealing.
It's hard to find any in depth info on this unit. Must not sell very many.

What do you want to know? I have an 870 and absolutely love it. It's simple to use, been reliable, and pleanty of everything. Currently have 660 hours on it and only had a sensor go out. Sapphire customer service was terrific and got me running again fast. Plenty of power for anything you want to do. If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat. Dual wands with no issues.

If you have specific questions, hit me.

Does it have a built in auto pump out? I can't find the weight or dimensions anywhere. What is the standard fresh water/waste tank size? How long of a run can you dual wand at?
I believe I'm going to buy a cutaway box truck rather than a van because of all the equipment.

Where did you buy yours?

Thanks for the response.

I bought mine at Cleaning Solutions in Medford Oregon. The guys up there are pretty knowledgeable and I also buy some chems through them. The longest dual wand run I have done was about 700' of hose. Yes, it's heavy. I have it in a 1 ton van. I wish I had more room. Eventually i'll stick it in a Promaster or Sprinter.

A van? Are you able to still get a Zipper, Devastator wand, 175, 10" crb, rv360,and a Cimex in there? Those seem to be the essential tools (just for carpet).

It uses a lot of fuel on high.
But don't run it on high unless your dual wanding. If your duel wanding and worried about fuel cost ehh I don't know what to say.
If you buy an 870 to clean residential its just overkill. I have heard some complain about water usage. I use an APO so I don't really care.
But if you use magic water that you carry and run it on high heat and max rpm. Your gonna use water. On a normal residential house there is no reason to be above medium and low heat.

Bill Bruders designed the 370 for Residential

The 570 is just for guys with little peepees.

1.So if you are running one wand on medium setting would your fuel usage be around a gallon an hour?
2.on that setting what would be an approximate average dry time for you?
3.Also did you use a fuel tap or a separate fuel cell?
