Sapphire Scientific new Upholstery Pro tool.......

[Nate The Great]

Anyone ever use it? It may be old news to some of you, but I just got my cleanfax or maybe it was ICS magazine yesterday and seen the ad. Looks like a hand held version of the striker wand.


Reviews??

Looks pretty bad ass!

 

[Ernie G]

We are gonna demo one in a week or two, I will let you know how it goes. I say one at Jon-Dons thursday, looks and feels pretty good.

Interesting tool. Shaped somewhat like the Hydrokinetic and can clean both ways like the Hydrokinetic. Looks like it has a trigger, which I like for control. The material looks like it would be less likely than metal tools to damage any wood or metal it comes in contact with. If it can give the cleaning performance of a Hydrokinetic, it might be a winner. Look forward to demo.

I would like to demo this when it is available.

I like it. Its lightweight and you have the option of "constant flow" (like the Drimaster) or trigger use.

I worked with them for a long time with prototypes, and they were very responsive to my suggestions.

Looks like a nice tool. In the description of the tool they say "Unlike a jetted tool..."
If it isn't using a jet how does it deliver the water?

Looks like the spray bar with tiny holes in it. Just like the Striker wand.

[Doug Cox]

I need to know the price also. Are they available yet?

 

[joeynbgky]

So its basically the same idea and setup as the drimaster right?

Trigger with option of being fully depressed, vac release.

 

[Ron Werner]

First thought, with the spray bar positioned as such, if it was held in one spot or pulled slowly, how much water would penetrate the fabric. The Stryker works well on carpet because of the depth of the carpet, but uph fabric is less than a 1/8" usually.

One aesthetic point, would white have been a better choice than black for the cleaning head. ie putting a black tool on white fabric just gives a wrong look, even if the plastic is non-marking.
Teflon?

Looks a lot lighter. The Hydrokinetic needs to be made of that plastic. Biggest challenge is the weight of the head.

 

[Studebaker]

Ron

The stryker puts water straight down into carpet the hand tool is on a 45 degree so that it does not over wet

 

[Jim Nazarian]

The vac relief is a nice option but the long handle on the Drimaster is probably a better feature.

 

[Loren Egland]

Ron brings up a good point. The Hydrokinetic tool can be held stationary and not allow water to pass below the fabic into the stuffing. Still looks like a nice tool though. A demo at 400 psi should tell the tale.

I see what you were talking about at MF Keith. At 45 its like a DM with holes; with the vac on the airflow would pull the water to prevent over wetting. So do the holes give it some pressure or is it still a free flow like the DM?

I did find at MF that testing the DM and HK side by side, I liked the lightness of the DM but it did seem the HK recovered more water. On the microfibre sofa it would be nice to tweak the telfon head of the HK with a long wide slot to prevent the vaclines caused by the holes.
