The Ninja is a good machine, even with the 135psi pump you could achieve good results. Just needs a bit of common sense and savvy which are both essential in this business.
How do you think we coped 20 or more years ago when machines were generally single vacuum and as little as 70 psi available ?
We simply worked harder........although we probably presprayed in higher volumes.
Today you want instant results and top performance every time with minimal effort............if that's the case you should invest in high power and get someone else to do the work.
If the job's a hassle and you don't enjoy it .............do something else.

It's been posted on many occasions that inline heaters will only perform to their max' if given the opportunity by starting with warm or hot water in the tank and fitting them close to the wand rather than 50 or more feet away at the machine.

A friend is currently developing an inline heater that will be capable of supplying constant hot water, whether it gets to the market is another story.

Well, finally mastered the in line heater with a cold water start ;D Get porty out , connect heater, boil kettle, pour into bucket, top up bucket with cold water so its warm and pour into tank, run pump with heater on and solution hose in tank so its recirculating and getting hotter. Vac , pre spray, top up tank then start cleaning. Heater and pipes are nice and hot and well on the go!! Got through a dirty rental property with ease!!

We use a prochem inline heater, will heat cold water to a good temp.
 if using hot from start, its a really good inline heater and will keep water constantly hot.

If your inline heater will not cope with cold water, put an open connector on the end of your solution hose and run the water through the heater back into the tank.
If you do this while you are prepping the job you will have warmish water in the tank and hotter water to the carpet.
