Get a cross-american vac booster and you can do it. Even if you had to take one machine up stairs, the small light-weight cross-american is all you will take upstairs and the Ninja with it's dirty water tank remains downstairs. Buy another 100' of hose and solution hose.

I admit that Hinja with 2 3-stage vacuums will do its job just fine when parked on the main floor and you work on the upper with 50 ft hoses.. Will it be enough suction when you work in the basement with the machine placed on the main floor using 50 ft hoses?

With that Mytee, Shazaam and Cross-American and my Rotovac, I run 50' to the Rotovac, thinking about doubling that. I got so much vacuum that sometimes I have China emptying into the extractor.

Most likely a defective vac motor IMO. Just replace it with a new one . Should cost you less than $200.00 to do that. If the old one costs less than $50 to fix, fix it. Probably needs the brushes replaced on the armiture. If it is more serious than that, throw it away and buy a spare motor instead. You should always have a spare vac motor and pump anyway. The loss to your reputation if it breaks down on the job and you can't fix it right away will cost you far more, not to mention the loss of income from down time. |

I have the dual 2-stage with heat. I can only use ONE stage at the moment until I take it in to the shop to see why my second stage sparks and arcs electricity when I turn it on.

Good Plan John.
If the Ninja has the more powerful 3 stage vacs in it 50 ft is not going to be a problem Even 75' can be done with good results. The normal 2 - 2 stage model that most cleaners have will also do 50 ft. But understand that recovery will be reduced. Compensate for this by doing an extra drying pass on the carpet to remove more water. At least until you get back to 25 ft of hose. |

Foolingyu has it figured out not to haul the portable up the stairs. She went a step further and bought a Rotovac 360i and really saved her back & bones.

No, I love my Ninja. You misunderstood. I was trying to find a simple way to drain it upstairs. I have been dragging it back downstairs and draining it in my back yard. The easier way I just found out was to drain it in a bucket and pour it down the toilet. That's what I'm gonna do from now on. My home is too large that I would need over 50' of Jose to get all of the upstairs' rooms. Thanks! |

This is completely the wrong way. At first keep the carpet cleaner on the ground floor & attach long hose pipes to it. It's the good idea to flow all the dirty water in the toilet. Just flush it. I suggest you to buy Rotovac Powerwand, if you dislike Ninja.
