    I just wanted to know who has the TR5 or TR6 steamer and how do you like it overall? If you were to buy another one would it be the same or another brand?



    I am in the market to buy one, but I am not sure which brand or model to get.

    Need help! I only ask cause of the expense of what these cost and I want to make sure I get the best for my money.



    Thanks

    FWIW, I looked at several and bought the Daimer 175 steamer ($395) for my mobile biz. It works well and I wouldn`t be without it. They all work pretty much the same. The main differences lie in the heating time, pressure and the ability to refill without opening the tank.



    It I really had to nit-pick the 175, then the heating time is about 8 mins vs. 3-4 mins for the pricier models. It has a 3-liter tank which allows me to complete any job I do. The pricier models have the capacity to refill without having to stop, etc., so if you think you think you`ll be doing large trucks where you need really long steam time, you`ll need the refillable. The 65 psi of the Daimer is adequate for anything I`ve had to do.

    I have TR5 for like 3 months and I love it.

    This machine has 65psi and boiling point is 302F deg and the boiler has life time warrantly.

    Great machine and highly recommended.

    Check the Mobileworks Forum, some of those real professionals have actually used, sold, and inspected those units. From what I hear, the TR6 is very ideal.

    Thank you very much! That`s the one I am probably going to get. I thought of the tr5, but I just know I will be using it non stop and I should get the continuous fill. I always try to get the best product for my money and this looks like the one! I was looking into other brands but it seems like this company has great reports.

    Huh, surprised that people are satisfied with ~65psi! I find even ~75psi kinda marginal, and I`m not a Pro dealing with who-knows-what.
