Steamin' Demon - Who Here Uses One?

[britelifecc]

I like the portable extractor because at least you have a tank that will hold water when you want it. Not so with the SD.

Also with auto-dump/ auto-fill, you will have hoses going everywhere. It can be a nightmare in a residential home.

Also if you use an SD or auto-fill portable, try instead to hook directly to the hot water heater. They all have a garden hose connection. BUT buy a good sediment filter because most people never drain their heaters. The sediment filter will keep the sand.

And if you're undecided, try to find a cheap used extractor. Once you use it a few times you might develop very strong opinions on what you want. I bought a used extractor, and really like it, but I will be buying that Truck Port once my funds allow. It has a lot of bang for the buck.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback everybody.

At the moment I have no HWE equipment aside from a Mytee Lite II spotter. I never use it except for upholstery.

I like the Truck Port and a couple of other portables out there. However, like the previous poster mentioned, it's a hassle to set up. Even with the convenience of auto fill and dump.

The SD looks simple....

If I were to use the SD ideally I'd want to just hook it up to an outside spigot and not have to worry about aerators and the such.

A fellow cleaner/friend just got one used. Anxious to see how he likes it.
