I have an opporunity to purchse a new VAPOR BLITZ II dry steam vapor machine for a song and a dance....but before I hand over the greenbacks I would like some opinions.
The unit is a brand new "out of the box" unit that has been on display...has a couple cosmetic scratches...but is in 100% perfect working condition.
Here are some specs:
Controls 12 volt; Adjusted electronically at handle
Voltage 115V (50 / 60Hz) and 220V (50 / 60Hz) Available
Power 1700 Watts
Current Draw 14.7 amps
Shipping Weight 30 pounds
Boiler Capacity 2.64 qt.
Internal Temp 295° F
Temp at Tip 205° - 220° F
Max PSI 65 psi
Nominal Constant PSI 47
Agency Listings UL; ETL; Tüv; GS, CUL (all major agencies)
Hose Length 10 ft.

From internet searching..the unit retails from $1400-1700....I can pick this unit up for around $500 cash....but if some of you more experienced detailers have better reccomendations for a different brand...I`m all ears!! I hate to spend 500 on a unit that would not be the right choice for auto detailing.
Any input would be appreciated!
