Been using it for a couple of months now. Will write a review soon I hope (need to find some free time) but so far, i'm in love.

(btw, Long time reader, first time poster) this is the most helpful forum I've come across in a long time regarding any one specific hobby/business.

That's the truth.

So down to business--does that thing have the big wheels and look like a floor scrubber--because you can use it on floors? Or is it just heavy? (nevermind, see below)

And what kind of electrical requirements does it have? Oh wait...I see the diesel fuel filler...you mean that sucker runs on 1.21 gigawatts of diesel? What's going on in there, is the waste heat from the engine being used to heat the water, or is it driving a generator to electrically heat the water?

Man, think what a steamer Doc Brown could make...sorry, I'm having a bad morning.

I want a steamer, I know I can't afford one though because if you Google none of the sites list prices. They all seem to say "Contact for a quote" which means it's way out of my $$$ range lol.

$6,500 delivered (not cheap i know, but being able to detail any car virtually anywhere without worrying about water runoff was very important to me)

This video explains a bit about how it works
(Diesel burner, electrical for the indicators and safety controls)

I saw that when I went to the site Steamericas, Inc. (http://www.steamericas.com/)

Suffice it to say that I will never be using one. I wouldn't even have a place to store it. LOL.
