Why are you selling it?
allow me to jump in. I'm not a happy Daimer customer right now. Wife and I bought a 300CS in 2004 and it doesn't get near the use you guys put yours through. Just homeowner stuff like cleaning tile and grout, and the occasional car interior.
This is the continuous fill model and that may have been our mistake. The pump went out in Aug 2011. We had to pay return shipping (about $60!) and the repair cost us another $180. Well, the pump just died again!! :mad2: We plan to call Daimer tomorrow.
Like I said, in 20/20 hindsight the pump in a continuous fill model seems to be a problem waiting to happen. Of course I suspect (hope!) the pumps on the bigger commercial units are a lot more robust than these little units. I have no use for one of those (even if I could afford it). If I have to replace this one the VX5000 is looking pretty good.

handyguy- Welcome to Autopia!
Sorry to hear about the pump going out again, I'd be ticked off too. Eh, I could swallow the repair cost for the first time (hey, ~7 years is a while even for "light duty", I don't use mine all that much either) but for it to go out again this fast is pretty bad.
No problems with the one on my 1500C...fortunately, as I'd sure hate to ship that thing back for service. I *need* the continuous fill, but I can see why you'd like to avoid it in the future especially as you *don't* need that feature.

Just picked up the Daimer 200s model after finding out that Daimer DOES ship to Hawaii :woohoo:. With my usage, I didn't opt for the continuous fill. Can't wait to use it. CS from Bill @ Daimer has been very helpful. Now only if I can find a carrying bag similar to that Dupray sells..

I dont use it enough...kind of overkill for my shop. I originally thought I could get away with using it for most interior jobs but found that I use my extractor way more often because I work on a lot of hammered cars/trucks/vans. I would be open to partial trades with a VX5000???

UPDATE: Contacted Daimer and they've agreed to fix it at no cost - if it is the pump again. Even so it's a bit of a gamble as there are a couple of other things that could render the pump inoperative. We also have to pay return shipping.
Wife and I have decided to take the chance but agreed that we're not going to spend another 200 bucks if it's not the pump - we'll let them keep it and probably pick up the VX5000.
