I know nothing of the brand but it sure seems expensive for being a small IR dryer. You could buy a brand new one bigger and close to the same price from Vastex and have their support and warranty to boot.

Exactly my thoughts.  You can buy a new one for that with a warranty.

That's in New Zealand dollars so would be say 5g and without the cost of freight from wherever to NZ.

A brand new Vastex Econored 2 is $4,988.00.  15 year heater warranty.  Freight to NZ may be a bit though.
 
300 shirts per hour. 30" wide belt.

The econored 2 have tiny chambers. My big buddy has bigger than the pics I can see online. Am I looking at the same dryer?
I want forced air with a decent size chamber.

The pics on their site do not do them justice with out something in the picture to compare to. I suggest looking at some videos of the units. We have an EconoredII 54" wide which allows us to go two or even three wide on the belt and trust me it keeps up just fine.
