Luis is @ $700.
I want to ask John how Powr Flite can make and sell their 175 for so cheap?
I'm gonna assume the motor in the Mytee is going to last longer and is 1.5 horse compared to the lonely 1 of the PF
That's a question for Powerflite. If it's a 1 hp and the gears are double planetary, that will lower the cost considerably. When we designed Mytee's we could have cheapened it, but then we would be like the others out there. Add for freight, shampoo brush and tank and you're not far off the bid price.
Here's what you don't get: 1) 1.5 hp 2) triple planetary gears for more torque 3) Lever type handle adjustment (no bending, much better for changing pads and bonnets) 4) Ambidextrous safety switch 5) 50' power cord 6) urethane ball bearing wheels 7) quality Imperial motor 8) The shampoo tank is unparalleled in the Industry with it's many features (like fill hose, sealed lid, Qd hose set up, best tank mounting bracket in the industry, integrated actuating solution lever built into the handle of the floor machine ( no one else does this in the industry even though Hild did it back in the 1940's) BTW Hild was the originator of on-site carpet cleaning, they were the ones who developed the first shower feed brush head. The shampoo brush that comes in this package is the best that I know of. It's made by Malish, has a poly block (not wood) with nylon fibers (not polypro) and has a stainless steel "
glide" ( Harris has got to hate it when I say that)
And the number one reason to buy this unit is the money paid supports MIKEY"S BOARD. And Powerflite can't say that.
