I currently have a truck-mount, but need to get a portable for a large hotel I will be cleaning.  I will need something that will handle cleaning about 25-30 hotel rooms per month.  I don't know much about portables at all, so any advice would be great!!

The hotel that this would be for is upscale and the contract to clean it would justify spending more to get a good portable.  I am looking for top of the line in vacuum and lift, easy to use and not a lot of dumping and refilling.  I've never used a portable before, so I'm really in the dark as to what to look for!!  Thanks for your help.

Do you recommend any certain brand of portable.  I understand there will be a lot of refilling and dumping!  I just want something with good heat and good suction for faster dry times.  Any suggestions would be a great help!!

I'm looking into purchasing my first porto and was looking for a way to get around the pain of filling and dumping as well. The best machine I've seen that can minimize your down time is the Mytee M-12. The unit has hose attachments that fill and empty the unit as you clean which keeps you from having to stop and fefill. Like I said....I'm looking into buying this unit myself so I can't offer any first hand experience, but I have seen it in action and it seemed to work great. It is also a smaller porto so it may be perfect for your needs. My local dealer priced it at 2600$.

Good choice! I like the M-12 

The Titan SV400 is a stronger machine, but with dump and fill option included, it would cost you almost $1000 more than that.

Thanks for all your help on my decision.  I just picked up my new porto today!  I got a Cleanmaster Raptor 230H.  It has 2 3-stage vacuums and 2- 1000 watt heaters with a 12 gallon fresh water and 13 gallon waste tanks.  I only tried it at my own house so far and it worked great.  I start cleaning the hotel in 2 days, so I'll let you know!!Big%20smile

Not bad huh?  The only problem was the cost, around $4,000!  But it is top of the line.

I could have saved you $1200-1400, plus you'd get a lot more free equipment than what Kenny would ever offer you.

I doubt that.No machine offers more bang for the dollar than a Titan.
