Re: Review and how-to: Vapor Chief Steam Cleaners by Mike Phillips
I bought a Vapor Rino 145 about a week before you started selling the Vapor Chiefs. They are pretty comparable machines. The only real difference between the two is that the Vapor Rino has a steam extraction option. But the extraction option cost about $900 more than the Vapor Chief 125. It is a nice option to have. But if you a carpet extractor it is not really needed. The chemical injection is a nice feature though and does help. If I could go back and do it all over again I would go with the Vapor Chief 125. It’s a little pricey up front but the extra power is definitely worth the extra money. By the way I switched from a VX5000.

If you can afford the Vapor Chief 125 I would go with it. The non stop refill is nice if you’re going to be using a lot of steam in your detailing. It’s a lot of down time waiting to refill with other steam machines. Plus the 135psi is nice to have on rims and engine bays with the added chemical injection. The 135psi and added chemical injection will cut through about anything.
As for Duprays. During my search for a new steamer I found it to be about 50/50 on good and bad reviews with Dupray. If I spend that much money on something I don’t want to see that many bad reviews attached to something. Only one Dupray model really peaked my interest. You could hook a water hose up directly to it for a continuous water supply. But this model was around $5,500.

Re: Review and how-to: Vapor Chief Steam Cleaners by Mike Phillips
I'm a small volume detailer. I was wondering which would be a best fit for me. The vaporchief 100 or the 75? I'll be using it mostly for interior and occasionally engine bays. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you guys
