Anyone have any experience using the Steamin Demon?
Is this a commercial only machine or could you use it on residential as well? |

You can use it on residential if you like, although I have only used mine on commercial. I would suggest you use a Greenglide on it for quicker drying -------------

CleanEvo;
I think that most all extractors will do a very good job in the extraction process, including the SteaminDemon. However, I do think that it may not be as versatile and as quick as others available. Personally, I do like not alot of hoses running in all directions. Just MHO. Good Fortune to all; Ed Valentine cross-american corp. |

Thanks Cmaster...I was also curious about the performance of the machine...how would you compare it to a regular portable? |

For performance, I think it's better than a regular portable, but the hose hookups can be a PITA  -------------

Can you elaborate? Hooking up or just running it? My understanding is that you can run around 250' with it? If I invested in one of these I would be using it mainly for commercial...rarely residential...maybe an empty house. |

Running the hoses, finding a faucet to hook up to, limited hot water supply. You are better off using it for commercial. -------------

IMO a Demon will outperform any of those portys. More flush and better recovery -------------

Depends on soil levels. The carpet(an airport)we were doing was heavily soiled. We were probably covering about 500-700 sq ft per hour -------------

We had a lot of wicking problems cuz the carpet was vinyl backed with a lot of beverage spills. I gave it up(told them to GFY) when they wouldn't follow my plan for quaterly cleaning according to the manufacturers maintenance instructions. We were using Chemspec Express Lane -------------
