Small extractor

**shotime** · 04-10-2005, 03:20 PM

My Bissel S.T.B. over the winter. Don`t ask me how, it just doesn`t work anymore. I really need an extractor but I can`t go much bigger than the Bissel. I have a truck now but I`m looking to get rid of it and will be switching back to a car sometime shortly.

I am thinking about this one- http://www.vaporcleanproducts.com/ho````erextractor.htm

TOTL has the same one for $40 more but it has a stainless wand and a longer hose, both which are good.

Any comments on this one?

Got it. Love it. The machine I purchased was the one with the SS wand, 16ft hose, and 50 ft cord. What else would you like to know.

Oh some draw backs.

1. Noise. Very loud.
2. It`s almost too small of a solution tank. Almost.
3. Can`t use the heat and vac at the same time. Nice thing is the low amps and one cord.
4. Interlock on the heater prevents heating a partial tank. The float switch has to be engaged in order for the heater to work.

Other than that great machine. I can send you some before and after pics of my work using this machine.

Ok I`m sold on it. I`ve spent more on equipment this year........

One small thing, mine leaks from somewhere a couple drops per use. It still works ok but I think a seal somewhere might be leaking a bit, I still recommend the machine though, it is VERY portable.
