I've got the Torndor Black and it's awesome. Can't say it's one of the initial buys for a detailer but you can do a lot of cleaning. Door jams, trunk sils, carpets, interior, headliners etc. I bet it would be awesome on engine cleaning although I haven't tried it there yet.
The black uses less air from your compressor which is an advantage. D a search as there are several threads on this gear.

Guys, I need to know what Is the minimal air compressor I can have to run this? I want to order now but if my air compressor wont work it does me no good. I have a 3 gal 1.5 hp 135psi max Husky.
I responded to you in the other thread, but that compressor will be too small. You need one that puts out closer to 5cfm.
I have the tornador and it is awesome. Go to youtube and search All Clean Bug, my screen name should be anvrodri24. Click on my name and look at my newest videos I made for the tornador black. I love how I can just easily spray and wipe. Interior cleaning is so easy.
As for your tank, that would be to small. I bought mine at Harbor Freight. 10 gallon with 2 hp. It puts out about 5.3 scfm and its perfect. Cost about $150.

I appreciate your responses. I was doing research and they say u need a 30 gal. with a psi of over 90. I have the psi part but I still need a bigger compressor. This sucks! lol
Not sure how tight of a budget you're on, but the Central Pneumatic 21 gal 2.5 hp unit at Harbor Freight I have keeps up and it's only $180. Vegas craigslist has them sometimes for $100 used.

I don't have a 30 gallon. Mine is 10 gallons, 2hp and thats enough. You're not gonna clean the whole car with the tornador and then wipe it down. You do a section at a time and you're good to go. Check out harbor freight, thats where I got mine. It's perfect. If you saw my videos yoi would see what it can do with the tank I got from there.
As long as you have the power (scfm) you should ne fine. The gallons is just how long you can run it for. 10 gallons is perfect for me. I am a detailer and I work alone. If you had others and ran other tools at the same time then of course you need a bigger tank.
Don't let those who have big tanks scare you. I'm sure they have other tools to run and have help as well. If you're a single detailer and just running 1 tool at a time then you're good.
I for sure am good with this 10 gallon and it has made me money!!!
Also...just buy their 2 year plan. I've used mine for 2 months basically everyday and I haven't had any issues. But after the 60 days of warranty you might want to protect yourself/investment. Their compressor has done me good.
Tip:
When turning on machine leave the valve at the bottom open for a good 5 min and then close it and let it fill up. Leave it on while you set up.
