I have a question for you guys who use extractors.



I have the opportunity to get a small, non-heated, 2.5 gallon portable spotter with a 1.5hp, 55psi, 104 CFM 91" water lift. It`s rather cheap, new in the box. It wouldn`t be used on a professional level as far as frequency of use is concerned.



How much more of a powerful suction and cleaning ability is that than a top performing ShopVac or Ridgid?



Or, would the regular vacuum do as good a job at extracting the ground in dirt in the carpeting?
