I want this one for Christmas  https://www.clean-smart.co.uk/store/miniflex-hx-compact-professional-carpet-cleaner/

[john martin]

Should be a great seller . The Uk really needed a well built small machine , which it looks like it is .  The sandia body (mini /express) is quite flimsy . And what else is there thats any good .  also nothing that small has twin 6.6.
If i had to nit pic  ... i would have redesigned the body to incorporate proper rain proofing  ... insted of just shrinking the Storm body design .
But i would buy one tomorrow  ... probably will at some point

Pretty much same price as the larger storm?
Looks a decent robust machine

[john martin]

This version is kinda interesting also  , single 8.4 ...with built in magma 
But ...  you could easily plug the 6.6 booster pod into the exhaust hole for series performance

also they all seem to feature 2" stacks and outlet connector

Do you think the tank on the Storm could take the booster pod John?

tank strength would be no problem  ,    where had u in mind to connect the booster ..   if you connected it to one of the motors by the exhaust ... you would raise lift a bit  , it would feel like more performance , not quite as nice as two boosters though , like ,  one on each exhaust  .
 But cleansmart probably dont have exhaust boosting in mind with the new machine ... but the little exhaust ports look perfect to easily plug the booster onto .

Thanks for the reply John. I was thinking of getting the guys at Cleansmart to upgrade my Pro to a Storm and then use the existing port on the machine for the booster pod and run that off a small genny from the van giving three 6.6's. Would that be possible and how much more performance would it give me?

 So , its a parallel port so you be combining the airflow of three 6.6 and your lift will remain at 10HG or so .
It should work well , the only issues might be if the Pro has a 1.5" intenal stack pipe ? ( not sure )  ... it would be good to convert to the storms stack pipe .

I have a pro and it has a single 68mm stack pipe.
Interestingly my machine came as a series vac set up and the vacuum tank  does not hold up well to high vacuum. The sides of the tank bowed in so much that I had a threaded metal brace made up to prevent it.
This is probibly not an issue on the new machine though as it has a smaller tank so is likely structurally stronger.
I notice the tank lid is also now hdpe rather than acrylic which is better.

[john martin]

Robin , you have a parallel 6.6 enforcer . right ?   if you got the HX compact as your small machine back up  ....  then combine both when needed ... like a Y  between the ports on the back of your enforcer to the HX compact  ...    its an option 

[Robin Ray]

I have the enforcer 6.6 and have a pro as backup which is now parralell too. I'm not planning on buying any new machines for now though.
