they do have an awesome marketing program, but as with all large companies, some of the employees don’t do their job as they should, thats where small companies can shine. i have heard a stanley steemer worker spraying the cleaner looking carpets with plain water, and raking lines in it, making it look like it was steam-cleaned.

500 psi is for carpets, a portable can only get 212 degrees(and they cycle, temps drop) i use 270 degrees at the truck, you can’t hold my solution line too long, and the quick connects will burn you. thats the cleaning power needed, its like taking a cold shower using portables.

if u use 500 psi on some ppls carpet u would tear it to shreds it dont really matter how hot water is sometimes we use cold water and it wont get it as clean it still comes clean

never shred one yet, i clean carpets 7 days a week, heat is what cleans, 68 horsepower truck-mount, 850 cfm’s, 270 degrees constant. i will clean in minutes what it takes you in an hour with that weak portable, you need an upgrade.

my last experience fighting a portable was in a mall where the power wasn’t enough to support the heat on the portable. the previous cleaners used a “dry clean” method, which was foaming like crazy into the small waste tank. i spent 4 hours cleaning, where my truckmount would blaze through in under an hour, after that, i sold my portable and went with a good size truck-mount and never looked back.
