I just got a new extractor sent to me yesterday from Top of the Line made by the same folks who put out the Ninja hot water extractor made by Century. these folks put out some top notch stuff and this little extractor is no different.
Very compact and lightweight but yet still has 75 inches of lift and a very powerful spray jet, almost too powerful for its size. The extractor nozzle is first rate and made of durable see thru plastic and all steel nozzles and hook ups. Nothing cheap here. Some smaller extractors make a great deal of noise but this unit is no louder than my "quiet" wet/dry vac.
The drawbacks of this unit are that it is not a hot water extractor but you can use heated water in it. I'll explain how you can do this later. The other draw back, which is really minor, is the on/off switch is located towards the bottom rear of the unit. It would be nice to have one on top of the unit. As for the whole hot water issue, well as long as you are using a good pre-spot then cold water will clean very well. In fact I hardly ever use a cleaning solution in my extractors but rather I spray the area and then agitate with a brush if needed, then extract. I like to use clean water as a rinsing agent more so than a cleaning agent.
You can obtain a portable heating unit from a janitorial supply place. This is a heater that drops into a 5 gallon bucket of water and heats it up to about 140 degrees and you then add this to your tank.
I used in my tank Top of the Lines "Rug Renew" and pre-spotted with 303's fabric and upholstery spot cleaner. This is great stuff and if you handle dirty carpets and stuff alot you need to try this stuff out.
The unit costs $495.00 which is a great price for a unit that is small enough for the mobile detailer but also large enough to handle the interior of a midsized car without having to re-fill. The Century people stand behind their products withgreat customer service so any repairs needed are handled with prompt profesional care.
But the real issue is how it works so I used my very neglected truck as a demo. Here are a few BEFORE pics.
I'll post pics later
