Finally got this thing in today and spent a few hours playing with it. It's truly an amazing machine. I cleaned up my sister's floor mats that I used my Bissel Proheat on a couple weeks ago and it sucked up nothing but brown for several passes before the extracted liquid eventually went clear (the upholstery tool has a clear hole in it to see whats coming up). After that I cleaned some upholstered dining room chairs that were just trashed by my little nephews. They turned out looking great but needed a lot of work. Next I moved on to blasting out trim, jambs, shuts, and cleaning my wheels. The machine excelled at all of these tasks. Wheels may be a little more slow going that traditional methods though so I may stick to my normal method there. It really did a good job on getting my calipers nice and clean. Just to give you an idea Wheel Brightener wasn't even getting them as clean as the steam. Next I did a little bit of the engine. Pretty slow going to clean that out, but I expected it to be that way. It cleaned off carbon deposits on my stainless exhaust tips pretty effortlessly. I took it to my house and cleaned off some old dirty white shoes and now they look great! It also worked pretty well on venetian blinds. Using the jet nozzle to blast away stains on carpets and seating works very well. It also scares my nephews so that's always good. This thing is a one b.a.m.f.! I have a detail to do tomorrow so I will try and get some before and after pics.
