El Diablo - Who has used one and what can you tell me

[Spurlington]

Im liking the HE El Diablo .. dont like the sticker price but seems like it would kick ass .. Im 95% residential so rattle on .. thanks!!

I did see the video and the guy says it is 27hp but I see 25 on the engine ..

Based on the numbers....that HE would not keep up with a decent wand or rotary flushing..

Ohhhh really .. I need my heat .. I use an AW29 (2-jet 02) as my primary and some 14in glided crap I bought on ebay that works amazing only on berber carpet .. I dont use any rotary attachments .. thanks

Get rid of the aw...get a decent wand with a glide and flush more than 4flow. I guess the el d factory numbers are based on the 4flow, so you maybe ok if you keep that toy of a wand and whip line...but then again why do you need a tm like that, if you are going to limit it with porty hoses and wands..

 

[Spurlington]

Ive tried different wands with higher flow and glides and seems like my aw29 leaves the carpet with less moisture .. I have a 36 blower and 2in hose right up to the wand which has a reducer at the wand and no whip hose .. maybe I need a bigger blower to be able to use these other types of wands .. after trying a few, I really like my AW29 and produce amazing results ..

The AW29 is the #1 wand used PERIOD. There is nothing wrong with the wand and everyone should have one on the truck as a BACK UP. With that said there are different and maybe better wands out there. The most important part of a wand is how it feels for you. Me and Mikey being lurches couldn't use a standard AW29 for much time at all before want to go all hulk on it just as someone 5'2" would hate using a Prochem TI wand, well a stock one that is. Now with that said if you like 2 Jet wands PMF offers a whole line of different 2 Jet wands and I can get them made for you in Titanium if you wanted a light weight wand that will last forever

my buddy has the fuel fired el diablo and he loves it. Tons of vacuum for a single wand, no complicated heat exchange system and all the heat you can handle on any wand or rotary. Very maintenance friendly machine from what I hear. If you are considering an e.d. I would go with the fuel fired one which is around 2 grans cheaper than the hx version

Sure its the number one used wand because they throw it in with many truckmount purchase as a free gift.

It was the standard wand for many years..I have two of them hanging around as a back up. But didn't pay for either of them..
