    Ok to start off this review I use to own a 1994 Butler system. I wanted to buy a new van and it killed me when ever I was doing large jobs my butler was guzzling diesel. I decided to go with a Bob Savage electric truck mount.

    Bobs system is a very nice system simple to install I installed it all in 2 hours. The main vac can handle 100 feet of hose with out the booster. The most feet I ran so far was 150 feet of hose, I used the booster and it really was a nice amount of suction.

    I got a call to a water damage. 2 inces of water 1,700 square feet of carpet. I started sucking the carpet. Let me tell you the auto pump out kept up it has awsome power.

    I did not buy the heater that bob sells I bought a little giant heater and I have good heat.

    This machine has saved me time also. Being that I am in NYC I do alot of apartment buildings and you can not use a truckmount I brought the save right into the apartment and cleaned didnt have to fill or dump that saves me alot of time , as I use to fill and dump my Ninja.

    This machine has saved me in gasoline like you can not belive, when I pull away from a job I say to myself I cant be live I did that job and it cost me like .25 cents in propane only. I have been using it for over a month and I still have more than a half of a tank in propane.

    The machine is a good machine and I like cleaning with it.

    Hi John,

    Sounds like a great machine. Bob Savage make a very impressive unit. Is this one or two cords? What kind of solution pump are you using and what pressure? What kind of pump out, gal. per min?

    John which system did you get for Bob Savage? Just curious. I very much believe if you can clean carpet effectively with electricity we are better off. I did it for quite a while using the Cross-American System which is similar. I realize Bob uses a special vac motor on most of his equipment. I also believe that propane is the way to go with an electric truckmount.

    Electric is never hard to start. And there is very little maintenaince to deal with on these kinds of machines.

    Didn't you have a ProChem Blazer at one time? Thought I read that on the kleenkuip forum.. What happen to it? What did your setup cost?
