Steam Cleaner or Extractor?
Hey guys,
I am thinking a steamer will be more useful for me as it would be used to clean mostly cloth seats that are already very clean...maybe carpet on occasion (all my vehicles have Weather Tech mats). What do you guys think? Any suggestions on a which steamer or extractor is the "best value"?

Judging by your situation, I would go with a steamer honestly. Plus, there are so many other uses for a steamer car wise and for the house. A McCullough 1275 (iirc) can be had from various sources for around $125. Very good bang for buck machine.

Wow only $125? That is cheap! I thought I would need to spend like $800 lol

And if you hurry one retailer has a 20% off code with free shipping on either the 1375 or 1385

The more I research this the more I realize the extractor would probably never get used considering I only detail personal vehicles...which are always very clean. Even the steam cleaner is unnecessary but the McCullough seems to be a decent machine for $125. Extractor will run me more like $800...I am afraid it would honestly just sit in my garage and never be used.

You don't get an extractor.

I think for just personal vehicles you'll use the steamer way more. If stuff ever gets out of hand like after a camping trip or if something gets spilled you can always just rent a Rug Dr. at your local hardware store.

Just a suggestion the tempo heated extractor is 599.00 get that and the steamer and your good to go.I have a lady who is dropping off her trailblazer at my house at 9am today.The very first question was do I own a extractor.Yes I agree you may not use it all the time but it's a necessary if your going to be tooling with the idea of detailing years to come.At 599 your roi is not a risk.just a thought.

Both are a must have, if you get something that is really filthy your gonna need them both or your going to be working all day on that vehicle wishing you had both.
