Stripping / Refinishing Jobs - Paint Removal

Anyone used the Silent Paint Remover (the one with infrared heating) in a commercial capacity on restoration / stripping jobs? Just wondering what the durability of these units is...

I know a guy in Sheboygan who has two of them. I was actually just talking to him about it yesterday...

The company boasts that you can complete 20 square feet per hour with it, it's more like 10. If you had a guy that was using it everyday you would probably be able to improve that.

They do have a lot of very cool and helpful accessories that you can buy with it, hands free, multiple scrapers for getting into grooves and round molding etc.

The seem to be very durable units. They come with cases. I don't know how practical they are... My buddy says he never wants to have to use it again, that should give you some indication.
