Wouldn't they have to pay for the patent or something?

Some call it a 4100 I call it a hotwater pressure washer with a vacuum.

:shock: How do you patent a automobile? It's just a engine, transmission, radiator. That's a stupid anaology. There are different designs.
Lora Olson said:We've already sold one of the AMP machines to a guy who used to own a 2100. He says he LOVES it. Steamway itself is not in bankruptcy (the chemicals anyway). You can always get the same steamway chemicals you loved through any steamway distributor (Daly Intl owns the chems), and yes, Shawn Bisaillion is still very much involved. If you need any info, give him a call!!
Greenie said:I never said I didn't like the machine. it's a simple machine, that is a good thing. I was pointing out the simplicity of the design, and yes for the know it alls it's very difficult to patent a design that will hold up in court, IF you have the funds to even get that far....I promise you, it can be a long hard 5 years.
Dannyboi is funny, not terrribly creative, and a bit boring, but at least he's funny......looking....and he will be in my book.

yes, seems things started going down hill fast when Ralph Bloss was no longer an active part of the operations.
I had many more issues with my Legacy than i did with my 1150 model.
Fortunately, they were minor issues I straightened out myself.
others I know had straight up POS lemons that should of never left the manufacturing floor
