Our Mako was a little over 5 yr old when it started getting problematic. Kept shaking itself apart.To the point that I never wanted to look at another one.We've had this Bauer for close to 5 years and I'm very happy with this one.

Just an update. We have chosen to go with the Bauer system. I don't personally know all the specs on the one we are getting besides that it is a 26 horse 6,000 psi three cylinder fill and a four bottle cascade all in one cabinet. Ours will be on display at the PA Fire Expo in May and then installed the week after. Not that it matters but we went with the charcoal color.
