Shopping for a vapor cleaner

[imported_ajbarnes]

To those who have experience with vapor cleaners, what are the specifications I should look for when shopping for one (PSI, watts, temperature, attachments, etc.)? I will be using this for my business. I have a low volume of around 10 (+/-) details per week that I'll be using it for.

We are quite pleased with THIS unit, after about 6 months uasage. We find it to be indispensable... Sorta pricey, but, you get what you pay for...



We have a couple 5 gallon jugs of distilled water delivered weekly (Ice Mountain). That way we 'never' run out of clean water. Offsets whatever we save in chemicals, but the machine doesn't seem to have any 'buildup'.



The dual reservoir really makes this a valuable workhorse. Just keep the holding tank reasonably full, and boiler tank just takes what it needs. Constant steam, with no stopping to refill and wait for heat.



Good Luck!



Jim

Steamers have a big power draw, so watch out for blown breakers as a mobile operator. Consider getting a generator, if you don't already have one.



This discussion on another forum is invaluable:

I recommend you contact Renny Doyle (in the above thread) for a recommendation on a steamer for a mobile detailer. He's an established authority on steamers.
