having troubles deciding how BIG a TM I need

how do you decide??

they come in all shapes and sizes

I like the Apex but wonder if it isn't overkill

 

I don't do water damage,the most I would dual wand is half a dozen times a year.

Do I need a big dual wand unit???

 

or do I just WANT one so I can brag??

 

or do I just like spending lots of money??

spending a smidgen more in the beginning can give you a few more years out of a unit. A larger unit working at 75% of capacity is I think better than a smaller unit working at a 100% all the time. Life expentcy I think is a factor.  having a bit of excess capacity is better than running to the lmit each and everyday. But than that is me.  Hindsight is a great thing at the time I wish I had just went with the 405's instead of the Bruin IIs as it was only a few thousand more at the time.

I agree with Doug on this one. Always buy bigger than what you need if you can afford it. You never know when you might need to run dual wands, power wash or do water damage restoration
