I'm thinking about pulling the trigger as I'm getting more interiors and it looks like it would make quick work of interior vinyl (doors, consoles and leather seats). I probably wouldn't use it on seats or carpets as I have an extractor. Would you recommend it?
 
I've had one for a while now and I love it. It's a great tool to have on certain jobs. If I have a car that is pretty dirty nasty I'll use.It also works great on door jams. But if the car is not that bad I think it takes more time to use. I know people who use it for everything carpets, seats, dash. If you get one I think you'll like it. But it's not the best detailing tool made, like their videos make it out to be. Spend the extra money and get the "Black" version.
 
Just get a McCullogh and be done with it. Can he it for 120 and gallons of distilled water goes for $.60
 
McCullogh is a good option too. If I had to pick between the two I would go with the steamer. But the Tornador is a good tool to have in your line up.
 
I love my Tornador - great for rugs, upholstery and jambs. I use a 15 gallon dewalt compressor that stays in the van, and a 100 ft hose that is on a reel that is mounted in the van.
 
I love mine. Works incredibly well in conjunction with the vacuum attachment if you need to pull sand/fine dirt out of carpet.

Here are a few pics from using the Tornador Black, Vac Attachment, & Shop-Vac. No product was injected into the carpet. Only pressurized air and the vacuum.




 
Agreed - the velocity vac works great, I've found it works best without any solution, but with air only.
 
I love mine as well, I need to get that vac attachment. It is a great investment imo.

The black model has beefed up internals and is more efficient in not needing as much CFM to drive it. That being said you will want a compressor that will supply the correct CFM I think it was 5 CFM @ 90 psi.
 
I'm surprised I haven't chimed in on this thread. The TD-BLK is awesome! You should see what it can do for nasty headliners!
I (or should I say, Interior Gal) uses it on everything in the vehicle.

Wear a mask or breather though, that thing will generate a fog of who knows what as your cleaning.
 
For me personally,it's one extra step and added time .Not to mention all the overspray everywhere.If it was cheaper might consider it for some kind of use maybe engines.
