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



3000 psi, 100 gall fresh water, 80 recovery, 240 degrees at the jet at 300ft of hose in under two min. 405 cfm at 13" of HG.



it gives me school girl giggles.

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.

The Aztec is not a huge machine. Fits in a trunk nicely.
 
I have a Durrmaid and love it for what it is. You can't expect a machine of that size, or price to be just as good as a 13gal/13gal double circuit unit. But this thing packs one helluva punch for only $600. Night and day difference between this unit and dry extracting with a vacuum. The water that comes out is borderline too hot to touch. Buy from Bob, he's the man.
 
Hey Grouse,



Sorry to interrupt, I know I am hijacking,but do you have an opinion the the Cross-American machine (mitey-one)? I went back and forth in my head between the aztek/durrmaid/mytee for a long time and some carpet guys I was talking to reccommended this machine to me and it is what I went with. I also picked up the drop in 1000 watt heater too.
