Maybe you should start a thread about other options instead of entering a thread about a competing product...........
The most powerful portable available?

I always like to hear what Ed has to say but you're right another open portable thread would be welcome.

Just waiting for the beta testing on this machine from NSH MF....

I’ve played with these machines. They are pretty damn impressive. I clean with the same 220PSI Aquatec pump. Drives 360i like a beast. I’d personally get the APO.
Dry performance is furious.

I tried it with the 360i and the 360XL.
It handled the i with ease, very impressive vacuum with that unit and wand and uph tools if course

Almost as good as hooking it up to a hot water tap.

Would this be THE machine you would consider getting if you needed one for either SCruz, or your Nevada operation?
As you know, most portys are garbage.... little to no suction, and working with 10’ of 1.5” hose is BS...
I wonder how well it is built? Is the body a quality rotomolded plastic? Are the vac motors from a well known manufacturer? Is the water pump?

They are lamb/ametek motors and an aquatic pump. It's about as good as it gets for a low pressure/high vacuum machine. Personally, I like more pressure and flow but it is adequate. Should be as reliable as any other machine. The light weight makes it appealing. That's the trade off for not having a high pressure pump.

Fred; I wasn't knocking that machine at all. It looks like a very good one at that. Not necessary to knock the competition because for us, we really do not care. We only care about what we have and offer, period. That is our only focus.
However, your comment is one reason why I personally do not reply on some threads even when I know I could add some help based on my experience, only because of how others perhaps such as yourself, will interoperate what I said only because of who I represent.
Anyways, not a big deal............................

I didn't say you were knocking the machine.
You were attempting to advertise yours in a competing product thread. You weren't helping based on your experience. Your hands aren't "tied"
As an advertiser have a little fn respect for other advertisers........

Fred;
You just confirmed what I said above was a hopeless attempt on common sense. "Attempting to Advertising yours..."----Are you kidding me?! That wouldn't exactly be the way to advertise ones product.
No problem. Don't need to comment or pound the key board further.
Have a great day.

It would be a lot easier if when someone called somebody out on their shit they weren’t obtuse about it
when a competitor jumps in and states directly there are ‘other options ‘ but can’t comment and then denies he’s doing it he is clearly full of shit

So how well did the machine perform at MF with the components it has?
Ill take more suction over anything. Anding heat and more PSI really requires too much energy, costs and weight.
I perfer its current price point and weight.
I can compensate those deficiencies with chemical reaction and a crb

Time and job efficiency are my main factors. If I can skip the agitation step by using more heat and chemicals to treat and flush, I will. One reason I’ll never depend on a portable only. But since this is a portable thread, I feel that higher pressure and flow should be included in the machine if it has the suction to remove it.

It would be good to offer an optional model. It will be heavier and possibly take more amperage.

Im intrigued by the monsoon's
low weight and cost.
88 lbs seems rather Light and maybe incorrect. And the price is a steal.
However, i had a porty with the same body design and couldnt get it up stairs safely. Rotovac may have solved this issue by placing the solution outlet and drain in the front.
Did anyone use it at MF?

I’m ordering one. I am at the point that I NEED a high vac porty. We are doing more and more work for a resto company, and have a ridiculous demand for condo work. We of course currently turn all this work down....
Why am I leaving this money on the table????
I bet I can have this paid off in a month or 2....

I think it will be a good machine for you Jeff. I'd love to sell you one of mine but am still struggling to find a reasonable fabricator. The auto pumpout is a valuable feature on large jobs. The lightweight is very attractive. The 220 psi pump, while not the most powerful, is reliable. You need to go a little heavier on the prespray and on heavily soiled, bring out the CRB.
