I was wondering the same thing. 100% recovery is of course impossible. I can not see how this comparison is valid.
The 2 high performance portable/truckmounted extractors(Recoil 3HP vs Mytee M5) should have been compared as in a truckmount setting and then a portable setting.
For instance I would put only 25-50 ft of hose in a portable setting and 100-175 feet of vacuum hose in a truck or trailer mounted setting.
It of course would have been quite a bit more accurate if both machines were current model. The XPS 2nd generation series is different from the 3HP both in the vacuum and solution pressure/flow. The way the wiring is set up in the newer models will pass current United Kingdom codes. Wiring provides better and more consistant electrical flow to the components.

Yes, but more importantly, will you ship them?

I know I have said this somewhere before, but everyone looks and talks-up vac power, pressure power and heat power more and more and more. And, once this high-powered brute is purchased it rapidly diminishes in power due to poor preventative maintenance. We see it daily in our service department. Filters do not get cleaned often enough diminishing air-flow. Heat exchangers do not get de-sclaed diminishing heat. Pressure regulators are allowed to leak-through and pumps hardly ever get oiled and greased properly. But, the biggest problem is that most machines purchased basically all come with the same wand made by the few wand manufacturers who pound them out cheap with very little thought as to the proper aerodynamics that a wand should have to be super efficient. Examples are: look at the wasted heat that rises from and above a wand when cleaning with high-heat. You pay extra in that truckmount to get extra heat and blow it at the wand level. A good wand should come corral that heat and use it on the carpet and not heat the air above it. Weld-burs on the inside trap lint and buildup beaver dams retarding air-flow. When was the last time you put a hangar up your wand and flushed it well? Think what water and air will do in a hurricane. The reason why someone has not designed a wand with hurricane simulations is because cleaners only want to pay $250 for a wand and not allowing inventors to produce close to perfection. Look at wands, 10 manufacturers have simply copied the first design of years ago. Very little resource and development and yet people like Rotovac and Hydramaster have developed rotary agitation wands to make the cleaners job easier. Few are sold compared to the blood, sweat and tears wands that tire you out and perform inconsistent cleaning. Like doug says…It’s only my opinion. |

anyone using 175 feet off a porty without a booster(I don't care what model) is not doing a very good job and is kidding him/herself and their customer.
I have an M5 and blowing breakers is not an issue if you actually look at the circuit indicator light before flicking the switches

I agree 175 feet without an inline power booster is stretching it. However I personally have gone over 125 feet with a Recoil 3HP with only 2" vacuum hose . I had a propane heater and good chems and the job turned out fine. It was not an easy one either. It was a home for the some developmentally disabled individuals . Food and beverage stains as well as pet problems.
