I've been using the HX for over 4 weeks now and can honestly say its the best machine I've used to date. I have the 220psi version, I'm looking to upgrade to the 400psi pump in the future if needed. However atm it is performing well as is. I changed from an Enforcer 400, which is also a great machine. I've always had top spec machines but wanted a smaller footprint and the miniflex ticks that box. I would recommend it to anyone especially members who predominately work in the domestic market.

good review, what type of vacs do you have and whai sort of weight is it, im thinking of one ,use a 2 year old smaller  from them, mostly for upholstery. Cheers Simon

The HX is 2x 6.6 vacs and weighs around 30kgs. No other machine has that power to size ratio. I was unsure whether the size of the waste tank and the vacuum power would cause a build up of foam from turbulence. However the large baffle prevents this from happening. Its easy enough to lift up with one hand on the back and a handle underneath the machine with the other. Large wheels for taking up a flight of stairs.

I seem to remember John Martin asking Matt on here would he be able to build a miniflex with 2 6.6 vacs, he was unsure due to the size of the tank, looks as though he managed it !

Can you ad a. Vac pod on it so you  have 3 vacs.

[jmj]

There is an output on the waste tank, similar to the Airflex Pro. Not sure if you should, tbf you really dont need to, I'd rather bring the machine closer to the work then add extra vac.

[mjm]

Alright.  Thanks

are you sure there is an auxiliary vac port on your tank ,    i didnt get one on my version though .

[edward coller]

Thanks for getting back, appreciate it! Simon

[jmj]

Yes John, it does have a hook up on the back. A grey screw off fitting which i assume is where you would attach a vac port.

That might be for attaching an auto empty hose ?

Yes it's for a an empty hose. you can't add a s booster pod onto the mini it trips circuits.  I asked them today

[john martin]

i wouldn't expect a vac port on the twin 6.6 version as its plenty for small machine you'd probably be bringing close to the job a lot of the time .
The single 8.4 version would benefit from one .   But then cleansmart would probably be thinking  ... anyone already with a booster wont pay as much as they might for a twin 6.6 and just get the cheaper 8.4 .
Not sure what they meant by ' a booster would trip switches ' probably a simplistic answer to end the conversation. In reality there's plenty electricity,  even if you had to find another circuit in another room .
But the twin 6.6 is adequate.

Sorry forget what I wrote it was a completely. Different subject to what  I phones them about. They didn't say tripping circuits.  My mistake

[Lewis Newby]

Not sure why you would need 3x 6.6 in parralell anyway , perhaps diminishing returns ? Looking at the machine it's either an ultra portable with power,or van mount with auxiliary tanks either way I would say auto fill and empty makes sense as options.

That said , I just picked up a Jag cub 1*6.6 motor for hard to get to and small jobs, and I'm keen to try it out as a booster on my airflex turbo , I've got 2x 1400w lamb and a 1500w electro in the turbo so with the 6.6" would give something silly like 420+CFM  - perhaps John would hazard a guess? Lift would be average still and I only have 50' of 2" hose ATM so can't give it a good test

[john martin]

i think your guesstimate is about right .

Definitely worth a try anyway , might make a good difference on certain jobs .

I've been looking at the HX as a new machine for me.

I can see it has a 25 litre clean tank but can't see the size of the recovery.

It'd be to replace my Airflex Turbo and trying to work out if I'd miss the bigger machine.

Any ideas on the recovery tank size?

Also will the barb take 2 inch hose?

Il try and measure the waste water accurately sometime  , id guess about 20 liters though .   I still like to have the enforcer for its tank capacity . ( and immersion )  The miniflex is making a great upstairs machine though. I suppose if you get the auto empty with remote and work with that .     Yes the barb is 2"  , also the internal stack is two or perhaps 3 inches thick .

[CleanerCarpets]

Thanks John

I think I'd keep the Turbo like you did with the Enforcer.

The HX would be a cracking workhorse though for portability but with big machine airflow.

They are a great little portable Mate.
Will WhatsApp you some pictures over if I still have them.

[Darran Pryce]

I was the first to buy one when the machine came out. Had the enforcer before.  Enforcer cracking machine just for me personally heavy.   Spotted the HX400 twin 6.6 vacs, the power is unreal for such a small machine.  I did a couple of reviews one after using it a few months then another 9 months on.

Brilliant little machine.
