Hello everyone. I'm new to the business. I'm looking at buying a portable. I have the option of a Ninja with dual 2 stage vac's, Or a Mytee HP 100 with a 3 stage vac. Which is better? The Mytee comes with 1200w heater. Does the heater make a difference? Thanks for your opinion and help.

I believe that you want a system with high CFM's/airflow to support longer hose runs and greater extraction performance. Always lean toward the three stage (a generic term btw) in most any machine. Good Fortune on your new venture; Ed Valentine cross-american.com |

No heat? more chems, more work longer dry times and not real handy for upholstery cleaning. I remember the days of little heat? ------------- Just My opinion |

"Electric heaters"--120v--are very slow and inefficient, period. And, they will not keep up to a down pressure wand. There are better ways of achieving this, btw. My strong advice is to put this energy back into the machine as"Performance" and you will see an Incrediable difference!!!! Thats my experience over 35 ---proven----years in this Industry.
