I have been in this Industry as long and probably longer than most (43 years) . And, certainly as a manufacturer and developer of HWE. Using the most modern and updated components possible which will work off common outlets here in the USA, and overseas which will not trip breakers, and thus become a drag on the operator. In other words, build it properly to be the most powerful it can be without going over the edge!
However, when I read comments and promises currently by another manufacturer of portable HWE, has become Fake News for sure. Unfortunately, the unsuspecting but believing "dreamers" (potential purchasers) take this information as gospel and not common sense. The promise of 1200 psi; 4-5-6 vacuum motors (heck, I'm losing count here-lol!) ; plug in to 240 v out lets, .............are you kidding me?!-lol More components does not necessarily equate to better in this situation.
Listen, the truth of the matter is the Operator can not get all this energy and performance from a standard home outlet and, without burning up their switches and machine, or at the very least, the possibility of burning down the home by over-loading circuits, period. What a frigg'in hassle. I'd rather purchase a gasoline TM and be done with it.
Anyways, I highly suggest being aware of this "Fake News" and use some "Common-Sense" instead, and I'll bet that Scott W will agree with me on this one!
Best to all.
