looks pretty good
One thing always gets me with a lot of American machines.
The screw down lid for the waste chamber, I've always favored the dome which sits tight with the vacuum pulling it down, simple to release and open without getting screwed, simple to replace, a rubber seal retains the vacuum.
Sometimes grit gets under the gasket creating an air leak, also the screw can become bloody tight when trying to open it with sweaty hands.
My biggest bug though is the habit of locating the switches at the rear of the machine when all the plumbing is at the front.
Many people leave their porty in the van with the plumbing facing out, this makes turning these switches on/off bloody difficult.
Waterproof rocker switches are available for this role.
Just a little bit of constructive criticism from down under.

What are the wheels on top of the machine for?
Rolling on it's back into the van. Oh boy! ANOTHER pumptec fired POS. One 3 stage vac and a 1500 to 2000 watt heater. YAWN! Same shit, different turd.
I really liked that wand, best I have ever seen. Love the unit but would like to see a 2/3 stage vac model Without the heater.
Trying to heat water within a portable set up is a waste of time. A single three stage vac in this day and age is hilarious. Put 50 foot of hose on this unit and you will have horrible dry times. The guys behind it are the Old crew from US products, nice guys.

that porty is ridiculous, one of our suppliers here has a very similar one, it looks like a giant marshmallow, they couldnt give the thing away - big, awkward, and ugly
the tile tool and the wand look coolll

I think it was close to $1000
I told them I didn't see $200 worth of difference between the $800 Turbo Hybrid
