Purchase price for frontloaders

[dougyg]

I purchased my first mat last week and need to replace 7 SQ SuperLoad IIs single phase. The Dexters look interesting because they operate on single or 3 phase but I am not sure of the service life of them. Ipso's seem to be the least expensive and am wondering why? Wascos have agood reputation but seem pricey. I have talkd to a number of distributors and here are the prices they quoted (without freight and isntallation). Do these seem to be fair?

Dexter T-400 V-Series - $3,251
Wascomet W630 (SS front) - $3,705
Ipso WE-95 - $2,961
Huebsch HC30BC2Y - $3,248

I replaced my SQ supers a year ago with Huebsch 30 LBs machines. I paid about 3000 each a year ago so your price seems fair to me. I ran new 3 Phase lines, I think in the long run its better to that. Parts are easier and cheaper to get for 3 Phase machines. By the way in one year have only replaced 1 door sol, nothing else. Customers love them.
