Michaels is made by Mytee Both machines have the same power and the http://www.kleenkuip.com/used_equipment/used_breeze01.htm - Breeze is being sold as an introductory offer of $3,300 including wands and hoses. Yes they are deadly but the Ninja 500 with heat is deadlier and more manageable. What else would you expect the Carpetologist to say? I will back it up any day with the Pepsi challenge. Do you see where if you are planning on buying a car or van that the challenge is come and test drive a Hummer first. And if you buy elsewhere Hummer will give you $250.

| I would like to get a ninja 500 with heat but the ports with heat does nothing but pops circuits.I think you are better off saveing some money on the ports with built in heat and get a drop in bucket heater. |

What you really heat if you want heat is a volcano heater. Can't beat 240 volt for heat unless you go propane.

Only problem with that Mr Steamer is you will cook the pump running boiling hot water thru it. The Volcano uses a downstream hookup, after the pump. The bucket heaters are great when cleaning furniture with a portable cleaner. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

| The other problem with built in heat is in order to maintain a desired temp coming out the wand you would have to clean real slow so the water can heat up. |

| or turn down the PSI.... Ken you can alwasy change the inside of the pump to handle a little heat.. must of the insides are interchangable.. it may cost a few bucks but it can be done |

Pumps can be upgraded to handle 180 degrees rather than the normal 140 rating by changing the seals to Teflon. But if you run 212 through them, goodbye pump.They wont last. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

| who is getting 212 without propane or kerosene.. I 212 is STEAM no water just steam... 190 is good 180 is still good |

| I heard there is a new 100 psi with heat but the way the pump works the water is heated after is passes through the pump(?) not sure if I'm making sense. but at only 1oo psi hopefully no breakers a going to blow. |

Pumps draw very little energy at these pressures. The important thing to watch is the draw of the vac motors. That is effected by the plumbing arrangement as well as motor selection.

GREAT COMMENT and the use of some very good common sense, and truth too. Don't know why some just don't want to believe it and only believe instead, what they want to hear. Too bad, because in the end, you can't cheat "Mother Watts"!! Good Fortune to all; Ed Valentine http://www.cross-american.com - www.cross-american.com |

Yea.. the ninja 500/heat is a decent porty...Stanley steamer had one for the high rises....but it only has 2-2stage vacs...run a 100' with it and enjoy dry stroking all day..... Lay out 50' of hose and lay a nickel on the carpet... I bet your wand wont pick it up................. I can lay a quarter on the carpet with 150' out and it sucks it up like it was nothing....Now that's TM power......

I am seriously considering converting my vehicle to vegetable oil as gas prices are far too high and i do run a portable.Only downfall is the exhaust smells like fries and my customers may get a sudden craving for Mcdonalds and i may have to rebook the ocaisional job.

They should enlarge the solution/waste tank....Have you tried the others??? If not how do you really know.?????? |

If they made the solution tanks much larger it would lose it's portability. For the average resedintial job the tank is perfect size. ------------- Home of the FIX PRIXING carpet cleaning! |

I have the sniper 500 and I had no issues with popping breakers. I always try to plug into the stove with one cord and then the other to any outlet. If there is no stove to plug into then the machine lets me know if both plugs are using the same circuit by the heat light not lighting up when turned on. |
