Portable Extractor

**Green Monster** · 02-07-2003, 09:52 AM

Finally a Hot Water Extractor for us weekend warriors.

It sounds good the price isn`t to bad. I am putting it on my list to buy. I will have to do a few details and have to save up some $$$ and wait for the Autopia discount.

I have been using a Little Green Machine for now but been looking for alittle more power. This might be it.

What do you guys think???? :nixweiss

Available at CMA: Hot Water Extractor

it`s still pretty dang expensive unless you are doing 2/3 full details a week.

I i`ll keep saving up for my red 5.0 mustang to sit next to my red truck.

Looks like nice unit, but price is a little out of reach for most DIY`ers.

Way out of my price range for what I would use it for.

Yhea, for like $200 more you can have a professional unit.

And they say you can do a SUV or Van w/ two gallons. Yhea... I use 4 gallons + to do an SUV.

Wow, Thats Pricey When You Compare It To Full Size Pro Units!

**BradE** · 02-07-2003, 08:15 PM

I agree Intel. Plus, for a part timer you could probably find a really nice slightly used Pro Unit for much less than $600.

I found that CMA sold this uinit and emailed them. They responded that CarMax bought 150 of these units so I thought this must be a great piece of equipment. That was until I call my local CarMax dealer. The cleanup shop manager said the water heating unit keep going out. Specifically the manager said, "If I was spending my money, this piece of equipment would not even be considered." He said that they had the water heating unit replaced twice and that it has failed for the third time. I was considering this unit for my mobile shop until I taked to CarMax.

I agree with Intel, for a few hundered more you can get a professional unit. Well actually, more like $500 more. I`m thinking about a Diamondback 6 gallon unit which is suppose to be a repackaged Sensei Ninja unit, according to Steambrite.com.

I`ve seen several sensei extractors on ebay (used) for $399.00, makes more sense to me...

but frankly for now I`ll stick to my little green... it does the trick at the moment.

Thanks guys for all the input. I will keep my eye out for a used machine on ebay or something.

So much knowledge here on Autopia, thats why I always check with you guys first!!!!!! :xyxthumbs

way too expensive... and how about parts?

i`d stick to something like <a href=http://www.unitedvac.com/Bissell/1672.html">this or this

Besides, DetailKing sells the same extractor at a lower price
