Which technology is better, a propane heater or the heat exchanger system?

Hello!

What is the main difference between an internal and external heater for the portable carpet cleaning machine?

Trailer or Van?

A trailer seems like a great option for my carpet cleaning business, because it has a lot of space and it’s cheaper than a van. However, most carpet cleaners use cargo vans. Why is that?

I have my Ford truck and I thought I could just hook up a trailer with my truck mounted machine and go do the jobs. Is this the best option, I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

What would your advice be to me?

What’s the difference between your aluminum tanks and your stainless steel tanks. Most truck mounts come with a regular aluminum tank. How come some of your truck mounts have stainless steel tanks? I understand stainless steel is a better material, but is the difference worth it?

Does the weight of a portable matter?

Hi!

I’m planning on buying a portable, but I want something big and strong for commercial jobs. However, I understand that I would have to go upstairs and downstairs with this machine. Does anyone have experience manuevering a heavy machine? I’m considering buying the Mytee M12 or Navigator Electric 1001. Is the bigger size worth it? How do you deal with that?

Thanks.

Is it critical to have a bigger engine (more horse power) in your truck mount machine

Daniel — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 21:55:37 +0000

You have a big variety of truck mounts with different engines starting from 15HP and ending with 30HP. Does the machine with 30HP have drastically better performance than the machine with 15HP?
