I use the Demon in occupied residential. It cuts in around furniture very well. I looked at other portable extractors, but the number of cords and the amps they would draw put me off. The Demon does need to be attached to the local hot water supply - it comes with fittings for most faucets - just unscrew the end and attach. And, the discharge goes into a toilet or other suitable drain. With access to a bathroom or kitchen sink and a good 20 amp outlet you have a 50 ft range of cleaning. It draws 14 amps. With the hose extensions, you have a 100 ft range. But, most residential interior is less that 50' from a water / electrical supply.
With a truly trashed out carpet, I use the Demon first. The discharge hose is clear, so in an occupied scenario, the resident can see the drama of the brown/ black water leaving their carpet. The physics of the Demon are exceptional and leave a fairly dry carpet - comparable to truck mounts in side by side comparisons. But, following up with Superzorb pads on the Orbot and some Hydrox dries it out more - polishing and protecting the fibers and raising the nap. Demon first, followed the Orbot, in my opinion, provides dramatically superior results to any truck mount application. It will take longer than a truck mount with a rotary attachment, but the drying time will be less the carpet will also be encapped - providing more benefits to the consumer.
