What do you have now?
How long is your typical hose run?
Do you pre scrub or use a rotary extractor?
Tile to carpet ratio?

I wouldn't recommend it if you run a 12 flow wand and dont pre scrub as the heat exchanger won't keep up.
With an RE its all you need for 200 ft runs
Loads of left over floor space

Buy the absolute best you can afford. You'll never regret having more power and performance.
Saying that, don't buy beyond what your budget allows. Over spending sucks and you don't need the extra pressure of worrying about a payment.

Hose reels?
Shelves?
Heat source preference?
Finance or cash?
And what tools will you be taking up floor space with?

Is working with a locked van important?
If you want long lasting it will need to be water cooled engine.
There is not a huge price difference between the cheaper line of units and the ones that are a step up.

It's loud because he has a ca muffler on it rather than an industrial silencer.

My humble opinion.
If I were looking to buy a slide-in HX, I would at least check out Steam Action.
Don't be sorry you didn't get financed. Just adjust your plan to your current budget.
Won't be a bad thing in the long run.

If you can't finance it, check out your leasing options. If you have $5000 to put down on a lease, it shouldn't be a problem. If you like the machine, you can buy it out. If you don't, you ca walk away at the end of the lease.
Ok so my credit sucks so i cant get financing. I have about 7000 to spend now. I found a guy in anaheim ca Kevin Wang. they manufacture the prodigy truck mounts. he also rebuilds and sells used truck mounts. he has a boxer 427 for 6500 it has a one year warranty . I read on *** that that machine had a ton of problems. do you guys know if that is a good one to get? I cant figure out the best way to go . Thanks Guys!!
ill look into that thanksk !!!
AJ,
Get the machine you WANT. If you don't, you will be frustrated/ buyers remorse every time you use it(or if it breaks).
7K down on a 18k(370ss) unit shouldn't be an issue. Try Aztec... They seemed much better than the place you tried.
Be patient. The right truckmount will come your way
