Might have found a nice Thermalwave II, 2010. Any pros or cons on this machine, since it is no longer produced? I believe Blue Line still offers support on these machines.
Opinions, Please, on a 2010 Thermalwave II, Low Hours......

Blueline wil not offer any support because they do not exist. However, SS will go out of their way to help. The TW2 is a great machine.

I have one with 7k hrs on it. Have had a few issues but nothing I couldn't handle so far by myself or help from the forum. Does that machine have the high heat HX? A good HX machine once you get to know your machine. Jim Martin can chime in too.

I've owned mine a year. Bought it with with like 1500 hrs. I've put over 700 on it in the past 12 months. Not a single issue yet.
Very pleased with it.
Mine is just a thermalwave. Nissan power.

White magic commander is a piece of junk. IMO, so maybe passing was a good idea.

I do like yours, Jim, but you're too far away to make a purchase worthwhile. Also, I'm not sure I'd want the 4500 GM chassis/box truck you have it in. You do have a great set up though!

Jon....found a beautiful, and reasonable 650 setup, '09 with 1200 hours, '09 Chevy 4500 cutaway box truck (70,000 miles), freshy tank, APO, electric hose reel. Was a Rainbow Franchise, leaving the business, and another franchisee bought it right quick. When you find a deal, you gotta be ready to jump!

Imo....
Your Out Of You Mind Buying that over complicated and obsolete machine.

I agree with Mikey.
A simpler is better machine would be my choice.
Not to judge but why would you want to constantly tinker with a machine to get it to stay working?
All of those wires, computers etc?
Buy a simple BASIC machine that squirts and sucks.

things are only as complicated as we make them or if we fail to understand them....
its to bad they stopped making the Thermalwave....it is a great machine....and there is still a bunch of them out there that are working hard and still hanging in there....
There is still a ton of parts and support for this machine and it will be around for a long time to come.......
aside from the computer that is mounted for the engine......( which has shut down my machine twice now and has kept it from over heating and totally grenading on me ).......the only difference between this......
and this.....
is that this one is in a smaller compartment....still the same lay out....still the same relays....and a few little extra safety features that could save your whole machine instead of taking it all out at once..........

Lol. Always tinkering?
All things break.
One year over 700 hrs. I don't consider oil changes tinkering.
I'd buy another we taken care of one with out question. Found one on CL locally. Hope he gets his price.
