Re: Okay, which hot water extractor?
For my needs I think the Little Green Bissell will suffice. But if I ever do need an HWE I'll remember to go with the Aztek.

Re: Okay, which hot water extractor?
I actually put a thread out about this a few weeks ago. heres my thoughts on the LGM. I have one and if you are doing anything more than your own vehicles DON"T BUY IT!
Here are some pros and cons.
Pros:
Price $100-$200 dollars with solution
Light weight
Very easy to use
it does a decent Job
Good for a home owner doing his own vehicles
Cons:
resevoirs are small Less than half a gallon big vehicles or very dirty interior will require multiple fills and emptys
the hose is short 2-3 feet you have to put the machine almost in the car for certain cleaning (very annoying)
sprayer switch is poor, I have had to take the handle assy apart to fix it several times and it still doesnt work right!
I have this peice of equipment and I plan to buy a pro grade machine as soon as I can afford it I wouldn't recommend spending the money save your $$ till you can get one of the better machines unless you are only doing 1 or 2 cars a year

Re: Okay, which hot water extractor?
I have the Aztec and the bissell extractor. The Aztec's water pump went out and I needed something as a backup extractor on detail jobs. So I bought the bissell, and it works ok, but it sucks to use it on a daily basis. So, I bought a new pump for my aztec(about $40), and put it on and have not had any other problems with it as of yet. I used to work for a Dodge dealer in the detail department and our boss would buy these bissell machines for us to use, but they would break down in 3-5 months. And we would just get a new one, not sure why he just did not invest in a professional extractor.
