Stripping Paint On Siding From Old House

Hey all,
I'm talking on a house repainting gig. The house is 100+ years old with cedar siding; there's 3 old layers / colors of paint. It's peeling everywhere. After attempting to sand and scrap by hand it's clear that this will be far to time consuming and won't look good.
All the paint needs to be stripped off. My question is what would you recommend as the quickest / most effective way to get the paint off? I've read options like Infrared (Eco-Strip / Speedheater), Chemicals, or even something like the the Paint Shaver Pro.
What have folks found as the most effective method? Attached is a simple picture of the house for reference.
Thanks!
Pete
