I have researched this machine as well as spoken to many people that purchased it. It has problems. Feeding airflow from 4 2 stage vacuum motors into each other causes the 2 end units to get very hot. This leads to short life of the armiture. There are better high performance machines to choose from for under $2000 that dont have these issues IMO.


Both the Breeze 450 and the Mytee 1005DX can be purchased for $1695 and are much more reliable machines.

The problem with the bigger machines in the Mytee line is that they pump water from the solution tank into the recovery tank. Believe it or not, Mytee limits its 500 psi pump to 450, and the remaining 50 gets put into the recovery tank. In fact, if you want to use lower psi, like say 250, the rest (250) will fill your recovery tank in just a few minutes. This makes the machine almost useless in a variety of applications.  Sounds like something Kenny would do.  Weird.

I have a 1003dx. I didn't know it pumped into the recovery tank. I've never actually used it. My techs use it on a few high risesShocked

They probably keep it at 450 psi, so it's hardly noticeable unless they are using the priming lever. If they use the priming lever, watch the solution tank empty and the recovery tank fill. Weird. What were they thinking?
 
The 1003DX is what I've got.  Confused
