OMG.. You make me laugh Ken.. Like i said if TM manuf. and Car salesman had you and Eds thinking they wouldn't make any sales.. But some fall for it.. CUSTOMER-- No sir I can't lift the hood and show you the motor.. You have to take my word for it..
I've seen my share of portable setups and most all have the same vacs and pumps.. Thats no excuse not to show someone what your selling.. Your talking a good chunk of cash for them..
I'm sure its no different than the rest of them.. Edited by John L - 28/February/2008 at 6:01pm |

The chance of me having viral pnemonia at the same time this year, like happened to me last year is very remote Paul. I wanted to be there last year, but was physically unable to make it. I am going to make sure I stay healthy this year so my plans do not change. I have alot of money riding on being at this year's show.

John:
I understand that. Ed and I have abit of a problem with that I guess. As 2 of the leading innovators in product design, both of us have had many ideas and designs copied by others over the years. Even though most of those copies are not as good as our original ideas or products, the copiers put out cheaper copies and steal market share from us, with no compensation. I am sure Ed would agree with me on that point. So you can't really blame us for not wanting to show too much detail to our would-be copiers. We both know that these copiers would steal our best ideas on design in a heartbeat if given the chance to do so. The insides of my Titans will be shown in detail this September on this board, at the same time a few thousand cleaners at Connections in Vegas will get to see, touch, and demo this unit there. |

Fine.. But what about the inside of that Optima portable..? Or the new Recoils.. TM manufacturers show and dont worry about copying..
I know we talked about this before and you guys have a ton of excuses..
You buy a Tm or a Car you want to see the engine/components..

The Pelican is a good unit but it does have a couple of problems with it:
1) Underpowered- Only 85"WL from it's 4 - 2stage vac motors. Our Optima gets 140"WL from it's 4 -3 stage motors. Pelican gets 280 cfm from it's motors; Optima gets 404 cfm from it's motors while in TM mode. 2)Weak Pump- 150 PSI is a joke. Our Optima has a 450 PSI Pump 3)No Auto fill/Pumpout on the Pelican. Optima has this standard. 4) Too heavy- Pelican's heavy fibreglass shell pushes the weight of this machine close to 200 lbs.Try lifting that without a ramp.Ours is much lighter, only around 120 lbs. Most will not need a ramp to use it. Other than that, the Pelican is great! This is the standard Optima TM. |

Sure is... But still alot more than a porty.. And all i have to do is turn up the rpm's... I wouldn't run no more than 100' on a porty... Then all them dry strokes you have to do on some carpet.. OR fans.. OR post pad.... |

Tm may have 10 times more vac on the paper......then run it through 200 ft of hose and the difference at the wand is much less !
