Not really John, I'm real happy with my enforcer and i never go above 50' of hose usually for domestics, in fact the ashbys heat shielded solution hose is bloody excellent and helps to keep all that heat away from the carpet or burning your self.
I pre heat my water in the solution tank to 60 deg and then boost it to over 100deg using the V2 inline heater which in my opinion makes easy work of very dirty carpets and yes it does leave the carpet drier...
