Has anybody tried the smaller Earlex strippers ,are they any good ? I note the tank is smaller and slightly smaller wattage elements but what is the steam delivery like My Hiretech stripper sprung a leak testerday in the tank ( It was about 15 years old) Was always handy to have on shelf,
They are pretty decent. I believe the head is slightly smaller than the "pro" steamers they sell for around £150 (apart from the head, slightly larger tank & the fact you can stand on them I'm not too sure what the additional £120 gets you!) I've had mine years now & it performs well enough - if I come up against a woodchip nightmare I just close all windows & doors, let it stew in the juices so to speak The only slight downside is the heat up time, still gives you time to start scraping & get another cuppa in I suppose ...Don't know if the pro versions are any better to be fair.
AWCO, there are a number of steam strippers available. Nilfisk, and karcher, to name but two. I have recently inherited a Earlex steamer, I have used it recently to steam my car wheels, and I was delighted with the result. If I were you I would not waste to much money on such a thing, Earlex would be a good choice. Potty.
Hi AWCO, As everyone else has said the Earlex is good for most jobs, I have an earlex and also a professional one (£145.00) can't remember the make. Nearly always use the earlex
