I was wondering what machine you guys think would be more reliable? The amtex machine has more power but I dont want to give up reliability for more power
Amtex inferno 500 or sapphire 370ss
- Thread starter All American Carpet
- Start date
Compared to the Titan...
Ben has made several improvements in the inferno design since my model that I had. So I'm not going to say anything negative about his newer models.
I have seen the Titan up close for over 1200hrs, and there's a few members on here who have that model, so I suggest that you consider it. And when something does go wrong with it while it's still under warranty, I know for a fact that I can receive parts from my dealer under 2 days. I don't know where you're located, but can Ben guarantee sending you parts at the same time?

If you are deciding between the two I would go with the 370ss. Ben makes a good machine but the footprint is very large while the 370 is one of the smallest in the industry.

Maybe, but let me tell you from experience that it is very nice to be able to have the machine and the hose reel out the side door, leaving the back door open for a portable, or fans\dehu, or just random stuff you want to carry for the day. It also makes the van look neater. But this is just my personal preference, I HAVE TO HAVE the ability to carry extra stuff with me whenever I want.
If you were to go with the SS unit, how close are you to a place to have it serviced? Will you work on the unit yourself (whichever you choose) if and when the situation arises?
I don't think the 370 with 317 cfm and a bigger price tag is better. I have an inferno and am located in Florida. I have 500 hours on my amtex and I'm vey happy with her. I've had one minor issue and was able to fix within an hour of going down and backup and running. In fact I left my hoses on the job while I left.
As far as performance you can't compare the the two. Amtex around 500 cfm and plenty of heat.

570 looks nice but it's like 9k more than the amtex machine and I am trying to pay cash
Go water cooled motor. Will be better in the long run The 570 has the Kubota engine which run like a Swiss watch.
