Make sure that when you buy it is from a local and reputable dealer. Do some research on the dealers as well as the units ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |

I personally had good luck with my Cleanco Compact 47 (pto) and my Prochem Legend XL
I had to work on my Steamway Powermatic ALOT but nothing would out clean it when running properly but i'd rather clean than repair my machine ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

I bought a Blueline Blue Wave two years ago...what a nightmare! Four alternators (they made me pay $1300 for the first one, then it took a year to get the money back), 4 batteries, shuts down all the time for no reason, burned out fan ($400), melted wires all over, melted fuse links, and just yesterday they told me I needed a new throttle actuator at $1750! Not including tax and shipping! Their customer service is extremely lacking also. I've been trying to get them to trade it in on a Cobalt, but so far they are dragging their feet. Anyone else have problems with their Blue Wave? |
