I cant say which is a better machine, all I can say is that before I started my own company I worked with a performer for a couple of years and loved it. It was one that had a digital read out, it was great. I dont think they make them anymore though

I think if you want lots of heat and good recovery and dry times the Performer is a good solid unit. You will need a 1 ton van and nothing smaller to handle it. I am not too knowledgablwe with esteam products. I don't like the idea of a used pto??

PTO's performance is best when buying a new truck, because the vehicles engine is what drives it. If the average is say 5 years per engine, why would you want to buy one that had 3 years already on it? You would be close to the time you would need to spend near $5000 for an engine rebuild, eh?

A 3/4 ton would be fine, but ideally a 1 ton would be better. You can get decent used 3/4 ton van for like 10 grand

People will just never learn when it comes to having the proper van to do the job needed. If you are running a small unit like a blazer or the likes a 3/4 ton is adaquate. But with a performer you either need a water softener or carry your own water at least a 100 gallons min. If you go 3/4 ton be prepared to spend your extra money on constant repairs from being over loaded. Save alittle now pay alot later?

Well, i worked in a 3/4 ton for 5 years and never had problems. I mistyped earlier too, i was working with a performer, not the blazer...which is actually a bigger machine. A 3/4 ton is fine as long as its extended

I have two 3/4 ton vans with fresh water tanks. Never had a problem with suspension, brakes, u-joints, etc from excessive weight. Just my personal experience.

Only all the people who try and get by with a 3/4 ton? I tried I guess if you think you know it all more power to you?
