I've only done 3 jobs with it so far, but these are just my initial thoughts.
The Good
The pump seems well built and sounds so much smoother than the pumptec units I have been using. Installation in the Ninja Worrier took a little thought as the capacitors on the motor interfered with closing the unit, but with a bit of shoehorning and by turning the motor a little on it's side, it made it.
The AC motor kicks those rectified DC motors to the curb. One of my primary concerns with the higher pressure pumptecs I've been using was the motors always seemed to die within a year or so. I feel pretty confident that the WEG will outlast the others.
The lower amp draw still allows a 3 stage vac motor to run off the same circuit without having a breaker trip.As I live in Canada, most circuits are limited to 15 amps.
The bad:
A short list- triggering the wand drops the pressure 100 to 125 PSI with 2 1101.5 jets. To be fair, those jets are a couple of years old and I'm planning on replacing them next week.
It does add a bit of weight, but the trade off works for me.
Questions?
