I've got a Mark VII Softwash XT. It will be two years old at the end of this month and has been nearly flawless. This is the most used bay at a high volume wash. It replaced a Wesumat, which was a total POS. I was apprehensive about getting another Mark VII because the Wesumat was so bad, but I couldn't be more pleased with the new one. It is almost completely stainless as well.
Nope, Never been a fan of Mark VII and the way they do things. There is one at a C store two doors down from one of my washes and the doors are closed on it a surprising amount of time. IB theorizes the unit probably just needs to be reset and the reset process is just too complicated for the average store attendant to do. If a flipping reset is that complicated that tells me that Mark VIIs hasn't changed too much. The wizard has a yellow reset button. The Istobals generally reset themselves.
However, as IB has said his unit has been very reliable.

What Greg said.
My all stainless wizard 2.0 is over 13 years old and a replacement is not even under consideration at this time. It still does a great job.. If I want to update I could wrap the unit to give it a new color scheme and install some LED lights.
