How much did you spend on yours?

I purchased a refurbished Mytee Firebird, direct from Mytee.

I paid $149.

The receipt is in storage with the Manual for the unit.

Having difficulty uploading photos the last couple of days, so I will PM you a link.

The guy was asking a legitimate question.
It's not your job to direct forum jabs at forum patrons.
You have way too much free time on your hands.

peter the owner of the company was unbelievable explaining everything about it he sells them services them and is available anytime by phone for questions or problems. and he uses them and gives demos if you live in Minnesota, which im from but moved here to wa state. definatly recommend

Great news, hope it works well for you. Keep us posted on the product and your business. When I saw a "Leno's Garage" segment (on youtube) about the value of steam cleaning both interior and exterior, I was very impressed.
Again, thanks for your service!

VX 5000, The only way to go. Order it from the guy in Springfield, Missouri. He is the cheapest.

Vm3000 looks identical to the vx5000
Vx5000 I know a site that sells it for 680
Best for the money hands down is vapor chief

Sorry I'm a little late to this thread but I had my 3-day CR Class and then was off on Monday.

Good luck with your purchase. In the future if anyone wants to know I show the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner in our detailing class and it's a top notch tool in every way.

For a more entry level price point I recommend the Dupray ONE Plus Steam Cleaner which offers all the benefits and features of the Hill Injection Steam Cleaner but at a much lower price point. Both models offer continuous fill which is a must have feature for any steam cleaner.

Plus the attachments for the Dupray models are what's really important as it's the attachments that enable you to use the steam.
