When something went wrong with my SS pro- 1200, Sapphire took care of it without any problem, even though it was past the official warranty time. In that regard- Excellent.
A little unfair because the original 1200 was their first entry to PTO, but they must have rushed it out without figuring everything out first, so there were lots of kinks to straighten. Annoying. The general feeling of some (me included) is that it seems like they keep improving (excellent) or trying to, their models, yet it seems to come at the expense of reliability. I know that from my own experience as well as from what I've heard from others I know and respect.
SS is still a relatively new company that I guess is still perfecting their machines. I, eventually got tired of the constant SS tweaks and bought a Butler. Mostly because it is just more dependable (and so so far it has been). Butler on the other hand seem to be both innovation phobic and resistant.
I wish SS was more Butler-ish and that Butler was more innovative like SS.
For someone like me, dependability will trump any other aspect by far. Though to boot my Butler max option (better heat and bigger blower) is hotter and has more suction than the Pro-1200.

Not sure if to file this under humor or Canadian induced eccentricity, but to me it does not sound like it at all.
SS is an innovative company that imho can benefit from settling on a good design and perfecting it.
Yet there are many here that get all giddy and weak at the knees, when they see a new design.
Go figure.

Maybe they should work out the bugs before selling it. Stop using carpet cleaners as guinea pigs.

sorry, Mikey, that's not what Im doing. I don't own a SS. I own a 10 year old Apex. one that was made by Prochem. Now Im in the market for a new TM. my wife says I do too much research. Well when your income depends on a machine running as my Apex has all this time, then Im going to do a ton of research. That's all, nothing more, nothing less.

What sold me on the SS was the pitch it was designed by the the guy who designed the 405 and apex and the Prochem line!
So far I’m happy!
But I’m sure any machine using a kubota motor good pump and blower will do good work!

Why?
Because it shows a lack of real world common sense. Operating in any ambient temperature near or below freezing and that thing would freeze right up.

Sorry I put one up laughed, felt bad and would delete it. Then think of something better/worse.

Has this been a common problem with 870s in colder climates?
(edit: I've seen one thread that I know of but the owner, srd, says freezing temps weren't involved)

"I recall @Desk Jockey winning an auction and Rotovac sending out a BETTER tool than he bid for and as the super cool gentleman he was he said thanks here."
Wasn't me. I can't who that was but I do remember that.

As far as I know, no.
But the problem with Rico is forever on-going
Any chance of a reunion between him and Mardie?
