Carpet Extractor`s

[JR's Detail]

Anybody have a good suggestion on the kind of carpet extractor to buy? I am looking for one that is somewhat mobile, but also priced right?

Bissel Little Green Machine w/ Hot Water

I have a LIttle Green Machine some on here would think thats rinky dink, but for the level of cars I do it works.

I would like to step up to a better machine that has more lift. Anyone have some advice?

Hey guys,

Just picked up an extractor at a pretty good deal. Here is the deal: I got a Mytee HP 60 Spyder. Paid $1040 and $6.95 for shipping. Here is the kicker, got a free high speed rotary, a Makita 9227C. That is a great deal. The HP60 has a 6 gallon solution and a 6 gallon dirty water tank. The hot water is heated in line and has two 600W heaters and sprays at 100 PSI. The water lift is rated at 147 inches. I hav enot had a chance to try it yet, but it should be able to handle my needs.

BTW ... got this deal at sparkleauto.com and was very pleased with customer service. Was a big day, ordered that and then called up Dwayne and ordered more Platinum products, can`t wait to try the new products!

I am happy with my DurrMaid. It`s great for mobile service. It`s heated, has good lift and priced right at $600.

The folks at www.properautocare.com are nice and won`t charge shipping.

This is one thing where I can completely agree with TheCompleteLook. That machine is awesome, portable, 102 inches of lift, and no need to mix carpet shampoo. Its just a great machine.

Rob,

I was looking at that Durrmaid. I think Detail King is offering them for $540-560 right now, but that doesn`t include shipping. I have a Mytee Lite but the Durrmaid looks like it`s perfect for the mobile detailer.

[TheCompleteLook]

Not too be too critical, but I`m not a huge fan of Detail King. I ordered some stuff (trial kit for $50) and some other things, and when I got the shippment, 3 bottles were cracked due to VERY poor packing. There was too much product stuffed into different size boxes that just shouldn`t have been packed that way. That`s why I don`t ever suggest them.

Do they have smaller models like ones that are 3-4 gallons that are easy to carry around.

[Tassadar]

There is the infamous Durrmaid. But you have to treat the carpets seperately, no mixing shampoo.

Ask for Tony, he is great to deal with and lightning fast shipping. He will really help you out!!!

what do you think of this thing it looks pretty good I dont need heated as I can just heat the water speratly in a kettle of sort and them use this to just extract. I love the Clear wand you can see all the crap coming up.

The maching is a bit too small for my liking(although it would make a good "spotter".
3 gallon for auto work is about the right size.
The Mytee 8003 I ordered has 2x the psi, 40% more lift(very important), you won`t have to empty the tank in the middle of a detail, etc, etc.

For a "spotter" it looks like a nice unit, but I think it is too small for serious clean-up, plus, you have the option of heat with the Mytee and the added risk of using ebay as compared to a reputable dealer like Tony from the above link..., remember, after sales customer support is important too!!!

Just my opinion:)

Just get a truckmount, then there`s nothing you can`t handle! Now on a more serious note, check out the Ninja & Sensei at
Top of the Line (http://www.topoftheline.com) they seem to be nice units with impressive specs.
