unless it comes with a boat load of equipment,hoses etc. it sounds kinda high to me
lots of deals to be had right now
actually that ol chevy with the Cleanmore on this site is a pretty good deal

Way to much..
Air cooled engines are great on Motorcycle's where the air can cool it..
That TM is air cooled but it will be sitting in a HOT trailer or Van and
thats probably why he had to rebuild it so soon..
Look for liquid-cooled they last longer..
Have you ever seen the Legend se? It's somewhat of a small TM..
But..... Better than any portable out there...

It is a #4 blower isn't it????
isn't that small,,,,,,,,,,,,I had a Legend XL and it worked great with one wand.
but I always wondered if it wasn't the small waste tank that made it perform well

Servicemaster runs them where i am at and its short
and tight. Bad design for air flow.. You need more open
room when running air-cooled. Air-Cooled good for
Motorcycles but not TM's.. Thats why they have to
be rebuilt sooner..

I have to disagree,,,there are plenty of Legends with thousands of hours out there and air cooled engines have been used on Tm's for decades.
the Blazers are even smaller and I've heard nothing about good things about them,,,I did alot of reasearch on Prochems and spoke with dozens of owners before purchasing one
Maintenance is the biggest thing IMO
I know that alot of guys run them with the covers off though

Many air cooled TM'ers will disagree with my post. Think about it for a minute.. AIR-COOLED! Best for Motorcycles.. Where is the air coming from to cool it? Its sitting in a very hot van and getting hotter by the minute as you clean.. Run a fan inside is a good idea.. Thats what i do even though mine is liquid-cooled. And what i mean by bad design is everything is
cramped so tight to even lessen the air to cool it.
Heat destroys engines and you will need a rebuild, replace
parts or another TM sooner..
