Re: VX5000 - quick review, more to come
Ill be ordering one here real soon. I was debating between the vc 4000 and the vx 5000 and the only real difference is the vc holds a little more water and the vc has a switch on the to switch from haot water injection to steam.

The vx has the switch on the wand to switch from injection to steam as well..... I was actually using both on accident at first..... gives the option of just steam, mixture, and just injection.

Would u consider using this to wash a car with? I know u do dry wash but using hot water injection mode seems less likely to scratch the paint.

Speaking for myself I think the unit is to small for that. I have used it to detail out a motor, suspension and wheels. I really wanted one of those bigger models for car cleaning as in washing but didn't like the idea of steam then wipe with a MF. Could see to many ways to catch particles in the MF.

I have a similar unit of another make. It is really amazing how well these higher pressure hotter units work. The super heated almost dry vapor does its cleaning with almost no moisture left behind. Carpet and upholstery dry time is minutes rather than hours.
The fun is just beginning. Wait till you try it on an engine or do interior glass with it. The superheated blast of hot water can be a real thrill at the right times also.
Enjoy!!

I have the same model and it's probably the best purchase I have made for my mobile setup! It's perfect for windows & is streak free.. I have almost stopped using window cleaner. It makes quick work on cars with nasty yellow windows from smoking without missing a beat.. oh, I had a lady who called me to do her interior.. kids left a pack of crayons on the leather seats and middle console, it was a nasty mess but it took about 10 minutes with the steamer and it looked like it never happened.. great tool
