Hot Water Extractor!!!!

What size generator or you using to run the Mytee? Can you run anything else at the same time? I'm getting ready to purchase a generator, trying to decide which one. I will eventually get an extractor.
 
I run this Generator...

2500 running watts, 3125 maximum watts. Easy start, 5.5 HP, fuel-efficient OHV engine. With two 120V outlets.

It runs it fine, but it bogs down a little. I don't think I would run anything else when my extractor is running. I am looking to buy a larger generator this year though....
 
Hi,
We use a HP60 bought direct through Mytee for about 1,100. on a 6.5 KW Coleman generator from Home Depot ($500.00). It runs it easily. We use a mixture of citrus extractor fluid with a very small amount of degreaser and Folex added for really stubborn spots. We also pre soak bad spots with Folex or Tuff Stuff before shampooing. This machine really makes a difference in the interior. You should see the wast water !! I think the little plastic hose that connects the HOT (210*F) soloution to the handle should be sturdier. I see a serious potential for a problem if it ever breaks (HI PRESSURE HOT SOAPY WATER !!) and it is continusley flexing as you use it.

Oh Yeah, I wanted to say that AG rules. Pinnacle clay and Wolfgang Sealant are the best. Customers eyes POP :awesome: when they see their vehicles clayed and sealed then waxed !!
 
Mine is the biggest one that Thermax makes (DV-12) I got mine from a distributor. It cost around $2,700 (OUCH) It was worth every penny though! I had a Malco extractor before this one and the first one I purchased when I started my business was a Karcher.... it didn't heat the water though. The Thermax can also be used in the house. It came with 2 nozzles for cleaning cars and the floor wand for cleaning house carpet.

I agree with the hose comment. I need to find a way to brace mine...

I think that they should have used a steel braided hose or have it attatched to the cleaning nozzle some how. I am thinking about changing mine out to 1/4" hydraulic hose if the fittings are a standard size.
 
and the metal quick disconnect close to the handle always finds a way to burn me arm/hand/wrist.....lol
 
Can anyone tell me where I could find a good used extractor and which "brand" should I get. All I need is a small machine. What do I need to look for, and is there any I should stay away from?

Thanks
