I can only testify what I saw during a very professional presentation of Erik's a couple years ago. First, he is a very professional young man who really knows his stuff when it comes to his floor wand and how it interacts with any extractor, portable, high-performance portable/TM; or gasoline TM.
Secondly, it is extremely well made. But I have found that's typical of American made products from a small company, like Eric's who doesn't know any other way but the best way of doing things. (Side note: Seems like these days are quickly evaporating, right?.)
Lastly, it is extremely easy to move and operate. And, works very well.
Having stated the above experience myself, I also can understand that everyone has their own opinion(s) on products. Not everyone loves a Corvettes, or Blondes for that matter!
Just a personal testimonial which I hope helps and clarifies any questions.
best;
