Yes, with 200 psi pressure a heater is a good thing to add. However dont get an internal one. That way when it breaks(an it will break more than your machine) you are not left without a machine while your heater is getting repaired. You can go without a heater for a while, but you cannot afford to be without your money making machine.

So Cleanex, why don't you use the heat 3/4 of the time? I thought that heat was always necessary to get really great results. I'm surprised about that.
And also, I would like to thank everybody that contributed to this particular thread. All of the replies have been helpful to me in deciding which machine to get.

I may be out of place saying this.....But if you think your biggest concern is what machine to buy , I can predict right now that you are going to fail in this business. Cleaning equipment means squat, nothing, $hit, nada . Heat or no heat, all king of different chems, what car , truck , or horse and buggy . All of the above mean NOTHING.

Jack is of course right on this.
Your marketing plan and business plan are what really spell the difference between success and failure. You can succeed with almost any equipment, but you cannot succeed without the right business and marketing plan.

You know what Formula.....you're full of crap. You just like to play games and get people to respond to your rubbish questions, your questions are DUMB...MORONIC...STUPID...and most of all A WASTE OF TIME, Yours and Ours.
You either have a small portable scratching the sidewalks looking for work , or have a truckmount and go by the name of Mr. Steamer ( grammer is almost the same ) or just a nobody, with nothing to do but dream of cleaning carpets.
Want a right direction to go from Ken Harris, send him $ 200.00 and join his club and he will set you on the right track in business , otherwise cut the crap, start a C.C business and post your pics of your equipment and fill out your profile so we know who you are..... right now you're only a mirror reflection of nothing with nowhere to go.

You live in a big city, Formula. Check out the suppliers. Ours have all kinds of classes, some for certifications and others for marketing, etc. I don't know what Ken is talking about concerning a separate heater. If the one in your machine breaks down, you order a new one. When its in, you swap it out in 45 minutes. The machine is no more out of commission than if you had a separate heater. But anyway, Nightrider is right (if rude). Get your shiz together. We don't know you yet and we get jerked around all the time.
@Nightrider: I don't think Mr. Steamer could have pretended to be as polite as Formula for this long. It just isn't in him.

I can put you under contract to market your company. I cannot justify providing FREE advice. Once under contract you and I can discuss market positions. |

As a woman recently becoming unemployed was asked what do you want to with your life. I came to this forum looking for some advice on starting a carpet cleaning business. I was always fascinated by carpet cleaning as I have my carpets done 2x a year. Kids, pets, and beige carpet, not a good mix. Was offended by the comment of Nightrider. Is this the kind of advice you give to women trying to make a new start in life? I checked your profile and I thought you were supposed to be a marketing master! OMG if that is your idea of marketing Nightrider I would never take your advice!!
If you treat your female customers in this manner I am very surprised you have any business at all !!! As I see it most women make all the cleaning decisions in the home, if your sorry A$$ showed up at my door I would kick it to the curb!!
