It lasted about 1100 hours but are so easy to change I'm happy with it. They started putting a bigger one on it. He was going to send me a bigger one but I'd have to change everything and raise the motor and everything. I wasn't going to do all that. I told him if it lasted 1,000 hours I'm happy with that.
Awesome!! Its definitely a good starter machine. I had the 15 hp black stallion for 7 years. It still ran but leaked oil and you couldn't buy a 15 hp replacement motor anymore so I just bought a the new 19 hp machine. Probably need to upgrade every 7 years or so anyway. After 3,000-4,000 hours little things start going wrong on every machine.
@@extremecarpetcleaning-wvwi86 That's great to hear. We are thinking about getting the Panther 30, since we seem to clean a lot of tile with longer hose pulls. As you know, machine dependability is worth a million bucks! Seems like most of Chem-Tex owners are satisfied with the performance and it is significantly less money than the big 3.
Love my ChemTex, I own a Panther 14 and Panther 20 great units.
Walter Da Costa you can't beat the price.
How I’m can remove the heater because it’s broken and I have to welded? Please if you can answer please
You need to ask dave Sanders at chemtex. I've never had to replace a heat exchanger. Go on Facebook for chemtex he is on there all the time.
How the raptor doing?

I can order the Raptor on Ebay for around 125.00 dollars.
@@extremecarpetcleaning-wvwi86 well better than 300hr , raptor has 5 years warranty, they send you another one?
@@extremecarpetcleaning-wvwi86 I just bought one frozen 25 hp with 61 hours on it, I working on and I was thinking change the coupler
@@Mandodesk they sent me a new one for free but I bought an extra off Ebay just so I have an extra.
I just bought a 14 for my start up. Can't wait!

Just starting my new business, with a brand new 27 panter.
You will love it.... mine is three years old now and 0 issues except the belt just broke. I popped another one on and back to work.
How is your start up going?
Thanks for the video! Thinking about getting back into the business right now and have been researching them.
Great review man thanks
I use a CRB for pretty much every job, I was thinking about getting that cheap little baby machine, id totally be down for that
It definitely is better than the CRB.
They do have a 14 hp for 8,900 or 7,900 can't remember but it is definitely cheaper.
still running?
Yes... so far nothing has went wrong yet except the belt broke at 900 hours but that's the norm.
Does the temperature control system work well as when you stop wanding for a few minutes, it will still bypass and keep the heat in check?
Yes... it'll regulate the temperature and still clean at 200 + degrees.
I have 415 hours and haven't had to do anything but maintenance.
