Hi all

Is someone able to explain to me the benefits of a dedicated steam cleaning machine such as the Torik/ doff machines over a hotbox?

To the uninitiated the hot box seems to do the same thing and is a lot cheaper? Am I missing something 

Thanks I’m advance.

Basically torik etc works better and is hotter

I have used both and for a time I was happy with a hotbox however as we got more complicated work the hotbox comes up short for paint removal and delicate works

Ok thanks Smudger.

I don’t suppose there’s much difference between the Torik and Doff?

Don’t know but the torik is great

Most old hotboxes are around 15lpm ...they will not achieve much above 80c.
You can now buy much larger hotboxes/boilers. 21/25L
 With a reduced flow at the washer , These will get as hot as a Torik or Doff.
 I think the Torik is 30L and the DOFF 21L
