which one and why.....

the way i see it, the mini is 100 less for more lift (suction to remove more in one pass)

but the mytee is more PSI (to inject water harder?)

Mini Mean! Hands down, I own two and love them. It all depends on how big the vehicle is. If your talking about a filthy Excursion, with fabric seats, than you will need to refill and wait for warm up. I can usually do a moderately dirty van with cloth seats, no problem. Another thing to think about is size. Mini Mean is smaller and easier to move around. You can also look into Aztec, same as the Mini Mean. If so P.M. me and I will give you contact name and number.

Off topic, but I can`t help but laugh at the ad for the mini mean - Comes with a "Free Professional Detailing Manuel".



Nothing beats getting a Mexican to do your work for free ROFL. Hot deal!

[imported_Grouse]

is this for mobile or shop.



I like the hot one and mytee hpII grand prix

and powerflite

Powr-Flite Internet Store - Commercial Cleaning Equipment - Extractors

[Envious Eric]

yeah its a mobile unit, hence the smaller size necessary....I dont mind refilling it, I can get the plastics cleaned while i wait the 15 minutes....



so which one grouse - from the two

[imported_Grouse]

How many cars do you do in a day?



If it is more than one a inline heating element is what you want. As it will heat the water as you use it.



a normal heating element will require time to heat up.



Of the two i prefer the myteelite.



However look at these two. They are a bit higher quality overall compared to the mytee lite.

That Python looks a heck of a lot like my Mytee HP60, and I know that Mytee does private labeling...

[Envious Eric]

one maybe two cars a day at most...

[imported_Grouse]

then the mytee i think would fit you the best.

[Envious Eric]

the only reason I question it is the water lift....like 105 vs 85....is the mini going to suck more out faster, but take longer to heat up between fillings?

[imported_Grouse]

water lift is only part of the way you can tell how much the vac can suck. CFM, presure in HG, and Water lift all play a factor.



is 85-105 noticeable. yes. Difference in drying time? Well no. This can be negated by properly dry stroking the fiber face a bit slower. Is there a time difference between the two? not really.





Also 2 gallons should be enough for a minivan with leather. but maybe not enough for a mini with cloth. (depending how dirty it is)

[Envious Eric]

hmmmm interesting....thanks for the help....I think the mytee will be the way I go....thanks...

[imported_Grouse]

If it was me i would buy this and put it in a trailer or van.

Can anyone name a unit that is pretty slim (fits into a sedan), can do 3 - 4 cars a week (3 sedans, 1 large vehicle), and is good quality.



TOL had a nice Ninja cold water extractor spotter that I liked for the size.
