I’m really surprised you stayed in this business after starting up with one of those

I started as a window cleaner working weekends. One of my customers asked if id clean a carpet so i rented a rinse n vac. I ended up renting it so much the store sold it to me for 325.00 about 2 months later i stepped up to my first of 2 steamgeni portables. When i was renting the rinse n vac you have to understand, i was still on active duty with the Coast guard. In boot camp we regularly polished waxed linoleum floors to a brilliant shine with only a wool blanket and a persons weight, cleaned gymnasium floor with a toothbrush. Swept the exercise yard with a hair brushn etc etc. Cleaning carpets with a rinse n vac was a breeze it had a power cord! If i could can The energy of my youth and sell it now, i would be a very very wealthy man!

I'd spend at least $600 and get a portable that is big enough where you rely on its large 10"+ casters to get it up stairs, step by step. 2 vac motors and a 500psi pump. Then you can do almost anything with it. Unless you are just planning on doing upholstery cleaning...

It looks like it has 2 vacuums im still not sure of the PSI rating, I'm not in the position to spend 600 nor am I going to make a career plan with it, just my home some upholstery yes, and maybe a few rooms at some randoms once in a while...I just figured the wands are worth it for 200...I think...


Still nothing...on topic?

It has a legible model number of
X1000 or X100D

Are you sure it has 2 vacuum motors? It is a really small machine (small reservoirs at least), but for use in your own home I imagine it will be fine as long as it runs well, and has more than a 100 psi pump. 100 psi would be fine for upholstery and even spot cleaning, but lacking for general carpet cleaning. 250psi with 2 vacuum motors would be sufficient though. Beyond that knowing what brand it is won't help much. If you can't find it easily then ordering specific replacement parts is out, you'll have to understand the size and functionality of a given part well enough to order a suitable replacement of a different make when needed.

For $200 your can't go wrong if it works. Looks like 2-2 stage vac motors and probably 100 psi pump. Good for upholstery and light carpet cleaning.

My pops started in the business with a slightly bigger version of that type of extractor.. 2 2stages in “T” into 1 stack.. And a 100 or 200psi pump.. We dedicated it to carpet dyeing..

We still have it on the mezzanine.. I’ll take a pic of it when I get back to the shop..

Gawd I hated carpet dyeing when I was young.. I was tasked with cleaning up the baseboards and hard surfaces and cleaning the equipment after completion.. I’d rather paint houses..


Rant over..

Thx Bryce, that's great input and definitely note worthy, in one of the pictures it shows 3 switches, above the switch says VAC 1|VAC 2|PUMP
Being a non professional I would think they wouldn't label it for extra stuff and not have the accessories to go along...
I talked with the owner and he said it was his Dad's from there mom and pop shop that he now acquired, and is non- heated...

As you say, it doesn't come up on Google or any other. Sorry. Obviously it's a little spotter worth whatever someone is willing to give. If it works and fits your purpose, then it's up to you what its value. Hope that helps

ThankYou...

After scrolling and a bunch of info consumed, even without the "Brand Name" I pulled the trigger and purchased the unit. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be ( I filled it with 10 gallons and it looks like it could take a couple more ) the waste water side is 7 gallons and with dual vacuum the water recovery is at or over 80%. The only thing wrong right away was a O-ring at the supply connection of the wand at the unit had failed and leaked pretty good when pump was switched on. Which was an easy 10 minutes of sifting to find the correct size.

I put it to the test and I'm elated on the final look of the carpet. During the process I made a few tweaks to the wand, being the handle locations adapted to better fit my posture. The wand is a single jet H 1/4 VV 11008 that was spraying half on the intake head so that needed attn. What I haven't tried yet but has been completed is a glide I made from PEX tubing, I watched a few of Mike's videos and also fighting the push stroke...came to the conclusion it was needed. The upholstery wand was a little bit of a head scratcher it had electrical tape wrapped around a portion of the front that looked like sh÷t , when unravelled two holes were being covered up obviously to gain suction which I also had a great fitting that clicked on and rotated if needed, but back to the hmmm... Why does the spray gun go into the vacuum head ? The hole is factory looking, but even with one vacuum on the spray is not able to accomplish what its purpose is so I unclamped it and moved it back to where it was spraying about a ½" behind the vacuum head, after sealing the hole it works great. Next thing I have planned is to get a gauge for the purpose of knowing what my output PSI is so I can quickly get info on what is going on just for idk a piece of mind knowing it's doing ok and what the actual output is.

So again,thank you all, you might laugh but I feel like I just joined some sort of Elite club after purchasing the extractor.
You guys take care.

You haven't heard the last from me muhuhuhahahahaaa
