Exactly - who with a T/m still  uses one with a 3 series blower

[Tony Stewart]

And mine was on 230F today on medium power................that would burn a dog or a small child!

Paul  - that's why I bought one as it would bug me to keep filling and emptying it all the time. Mine came with the extra length of hose so I can get away without carting the thing upstairs.

It may not have the suck of something like a Storm but it cleans roughly as well as other portables and has a bit of heat, but I only use it when I have to.......5 floors up or no access for parking. But hey if I'm doing that I then have the extra option of swishing all the dirt round evenly with a rotary and a bit of encap! 

[Paul Moss]

Tony, I'm using mine for suites now , makes life easier with just one fill as you say. The hide a hose pipe is great too.

Hahaha, John you really make life hard for your self.
Get your self a spinner head such as a Rx you will be able to do that size area in half the time . Oh no sorry you can't , I forgot your using a portable lol. If you had a truckmount with a decent size pump then you could have used a Rx or RD 😀
Keep working your but off buddy 😀  Oh and on the chemical side don't use too much if that oil remover or you may find yourself in trouble 😉😘

I love the wand, is it light weight and easy to use?

[Paul Moss]

Yep you said that about the wonder wand a few years ago Shaun, then sold it 😀

[Paul Moss]

Can't see any steam coming off that wand and I don't like the lines being left by the glide either.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Ww are not light, Ti wand was light but just too big for domestic, need a light weight wand as its hard work pushing it all day with my tm.

would it be that u just had crap portables before ...   like what if you had a portable with two or three times the suction of the cfr  , and you had a top inline heater ,  giving u scorching water from cold at upholstery tool rates ,  and them u used it with the cfr handtool and the wonderwand .   That would be even better .. wouldn't it ?

Crap portables?  I've used portables for the last 46 years and never failed on a job yet.

You misunderstood , i didnt mean portables are crap , was just questioning if he'd owned a high performance one .

Not sure if it would be lighter than Ti you had , its light for a big wand ... it doesn't feel clumsy in any way though .  Its really nice to use . Its very hard to demo holding a phone camera as you need two hand holding it to go fast and control the swivel .
Review here also ...

Oh , im not mad enough to go wanding all that  ,  I HWE the bar areas and a few dirty areas ... everything else get bonneted and spotted .   I did the main lobby and another bar full hwe same day .  long day but hey , thats carpet cleaning .
Try the oil remover    i mix it with my lavender deodorizer to create a killer prespray , all you be thinking is ... why am i giving  four times the money to prochem or chemspec for something similar or more watery . 

[Paul Moss]

I've used that oil remover for years, it's very good .

great ! i thought you were scolding me for using it.
Its fast becoming a mainstay in my chemical range ... its like there is nothing better on the dirty stuff and it costs peanuts .
I still like to have UM in the tank also for the brightening effect i feel it gives .

Citrus pre spray or Rubicon?

John, If you have the power of a 20hp TM why don't you set your machine up like one? Most of the time lost on a job is from loading and unloading, filling and emptying. Your machine set up could easily run from a tank,  empty into another tank and run at least 250 ft of hose.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

How big is the wand John? What sized head?  How much? And.....how tall are you?

Thanks

yeah , its a pretty simple way i work ,not the most efficient  but it doesn't bug me too much , like in that room i pushed the enforcer over to the bar door which has hot water tap just inside , filled it ( it holds 4 1/2 full buckets )  and i was spraying with hydroforce in no time . There are some advantages to being portable and moving to different locations too .
But yeah , iv thought of having a stationary ETM , but i would have to do it right with hose reels etc , i might get round to that yet .
