Just sold a New Cleanco Compact today to a customer who has had them all, and also built his own. Now he would only have Cleanco's. This is his seventh in the fleet. So he tried the rest and settled for the Best! |

That's 2 against 1 Ted, I guess you lose..........Better hide all those Cleanco you have in your parking lot, set them all on fire and collect the insurance.......or........make me a price for all of them in a package deal and I'll do something with them..... Nightrider |

I would never buy another cleanco either.... The old piece of crap I got is just that... the newer units are crap.... I know of 2 brand new cleanco units that something goes wrong every couple of days... In one truck the blower went after 2 months of use.. I would by a cleanmore anyday over a cleanco |

Sorry Ted, But that's just my opinion, I didn't write The Bible and in NO WAY should anyone take another mans word for cash just because it was voiced. To all those who read my post ........please ignor my drastic comments and do some research for yourself, talk to all the manufactures out there, listen for key words to your questions and weed the liars out and settle what you feel suits your needs and what makes you happy. All I have to say is, there are plenty of used Cleanco's out there for sale, ask yourself WHAT DID THEY UPGRADE TO. I have a used SteamAction that i purchased from Ted, it's a 1990 all stainless steel model with a No.68 Blower and my pump was changed to a 4000 psi Giant pump, This is truly a workhorse with plenty of suction even with 0ver 400 feet of vaccuum hose. I had a Cleanco, and I was not impressed..........But that just me. If I had to purchase another I would chose a VORTEX because I do 90% commercial, and SteamAction for residential & commercial but NOT new.......give me an older model anyday, even if you have to make repairs.............you save plenty of bucks.

nightrider, You are not being fair to Cleanco. They left plastic and fibreglass behind eight years ago. The Cleanco Compact unit is a sweet machine. |

Cleanco is an over rated piece of junk, always has been and always will be. It's just a toy for those who know nothing regarding the real needs that you will be faced with once out in the field, they often have mechanical problems and freeze real easy during the cold months causing lots of expensive repairs comes the spring. The blowers are not powerful enough using 150 foot lengths of vaccuum hose, the impellars stick easy even during summer if not used for a few days, I can piss harder than the psi that comes from their pumps.......But they look nice, if you like fibre glass, and plastic. Want a real workhorse check out SteamAction, Performance truckmounts ( if you like alot of wet steam ) and of course Vortex. Nightrider |

Lots of places sell them, but if you are buying a new gas powered TM, you really should buy one that you can get serviced at a shop that is local to you. Butlers seem to be the exception to this rule, as they have no dealership network out there to handle this. But they have a very good parts replacement policy that goes along way to compensate for this. If you are in the USA and are not going to buy your unit local to you, that is the unit I recommend. If you were in Canada, I would tell you that Prochems and Cleanco's make good choices up here. The latter is sold by Kleen Kuip here, and they would look after your needs very well.

Hello everyone! I'm currently looking to buy or finance/lease (checking out my options) a truckmount. If anyone has one for sale or knows somebody who is selling one, please let me know. Thanks a bunch. Dallas. |
