Point being ..there is not one......you could line them all up and find something wrong some where....
stayed away from the first built...they needed to evolve and grow ...get all the bugs worked out...there are a bunch of them still sitting along the waste side....
start looking more toward higher center....a lot of the bugs were worked out but there were some issues that could be easily changed and not really effect to much...I tried to stay away from the ones that started changing to much.....and getting to complicated.... 2003 to 2005 seem to be decent units.....still not perfect and have a few issues....over come those and you will have a great machine at the fraction of the cost....
What manufactures are not under standing (with the exception of Judson ) is they have to keep these machines simple....we don't have time for all the bells, whistles and sirens and BS...Pretty does not clean carpet....dependable will get you further....to much fluffy just adds up to much down time.....
I am at the point here pretty soon where I have to decide on what I want to do with my company....
Do I want to put some one in the cab with me or do I want to get another truck and branch out and cover more of this little dust bowl town I live in.....If I decide to get another one and I can't find a decent one between a 2003 and 2005.... I will be talking to Judson.............any above and below those years are just to complicated to play with...........

FMI had the Marshal Stack "Silencer" as their black eye, AeroTech had the 99% failed fresh tank issue, the 800Q's have the last step HX killing the blower.[
