The brand TMF has a portable that is a heated of 800 psi. You can also buy an additional attachment called the booster for an additional $850 which allows you to bring upstairs because it’s light in weight while you leave the portable down stairs or outside and bring that little booster with you up stairs and that booster is super strong
My dad ran his company with OG Ninjas for 20 years and he continues to use them to this day at 65 years old. I ran portables for 2 years when i started my company but went to a truckmount last year. I do still use a portable on occasion, mostly for apartments that i cant get close to the building. Can still get the same clean with both but I've found that the truckmount is faster.
If you're just starting out get a portable with a super strong vacuum that will work with 50ft of hose and a pump out. Park it in the bath or kitchen run the pump out into the toilet or kitchen sink. 200 psi is just fine with a 2 jet wand. A hydroforce is designed to be used at at 400 psi so use an electric sprayer instead for your prespray. Lugging a machine with a 25 ft hose up and down the stairs to clean is a pain. Forget the heater, just use 5 gal hot water at a time from the tub and add your extraction solution there. Add a rotovac 360i with brush head and you will really impress the customer.
Is the rotovac for truck mounts only? I have a Tennant 1020 portable, would that be strong enough to run one of those? I’m new to the business but really want to provide the best service possible.

The rotovac is good for truck mount or portable, it's electric and just plugs into the wall. @@DiamondSt8lows
yes it is @@DiamondSt8lows
I've been a carpet cleaner for a long time but never had a gas truckmount, but in the last few years I've been using ETM, I have to say I love ETM because of the flexibility of the ETM system because you can have more than one, when one is down you basically take it out and put another in and go to work without missing a beat. But, I had got tired of the ETM's out there, recently I started building my own so that way it'll be easier to work on and I'll be able to upgrade it whenever I feel it. Currently building a 4-vac etm and I just can't wait to put it on my van then sell all of my factory made ETM's. It's going to be a glorious DAY!
Congrats to you, let’s help keep improving what we do.
I live in Kazakhstan, and no one here has a track mount, since carpet is only in offices and restaurants. I use a portable extractor, installed a second turbine, a 600 psi pump, auto drain and auto refill. I'll post a video soon if you're interested.
yes we like to see a video of your set up and process
Started with a portable very profitable
thanks for the refresher Tommy, fired up the truck mount today for the first time in 3 months, almost forgot just how much more powerful it is than my $125 portable 😂, carpet was nearly dry as i was leaving
Nice! what a difference
Great advice for the beginner or for a back up, and in my case when i retired (semi retired) i downgraded to a portable. I souped my little Mytee up though, it came with two 3 stage vacs, no heat, and 500 psi. I added a 3 stage vacuum booster, so with that along with a bucket heater that i drop into the solution tank i have run up to 125' of hose and knocked out some large commercials work as well as normal residences. For tile i have to do a lot of agitation but with the heat, psi, vac booster, and Gekko squeegee wand it does a very impressive job. I do miss the truck mounts, but at 68, doing the limited number of jobs i do i don't regret downgrading.
Awesome! It's more the pilot and not so much the machine.
I started with portable.I ended up buying a used boxxer 421 truckmount.The truckmount i don't have to stop to refill the fresh water or dump the dirty water.My water pressure is better,heat is awesome,since i have great heat i use less chemicals and the extraction is a lot better then a portable which means carpets are going to dry a lot faster and besides you just look way more professional.
Nice explanation, it's definitely a great option, if you got heat, psi and vacuum, it can be just as good as a truckmount , and the added bonus of being to pull it out when you have to really makes it a logical choice.
I ran a portable for 10 + years. Get 2 3 stage vacuums on it and you can run 50-75 ft of hose. I put in on the front porch. Hook up water to from the spicket and it has an auto dump.. never have to stop, just like a truck mount. I have a little over 300cfm on my system. I also run a little blitz carpet cleaner for the pre-spray 175psi. That sits on the porch too.
I like to know how you accomplish over 300 CFM on your system? Thank you for the help.
@@Beluel I suppose I should have proofread that before I posted it…my apologies. It was 300-310 inches of “water lift” not CFM my bad. I think the CFM was 118-120 I forgot the exact sorry. Again please excuse my stupidity for not proofreading lol!
@@ProCleanersCarpetCleaning Thank you for the clarification however the 300 and above water lift how you accomplished this which vacuums did you used and in series or parallels?
Very good tips. I liked the description on hot water, agitation, and chemical usage. My old man started carpet cleaning with portables and his business thrived. He used a couple of ‘steamon demons’. Now we have a fleet of Truck Mounts, but we still deploy portables for areas not accessible via TM. Thanks!
I have a MyTee, it’s the biggest I could get and have only one electric cord and usually have to plug it into a kitchen outlet or it throws a breaker but it works proof is in the dump water sometimes I video this and show my clients looks like dark chocolate milk with chunks anyway the problems I’ve encountered is it’s heavy by myself I cannot get it in or out of my truck so I bring help or I put it on a small trailer with a ramp and this works good next is it takes time for the water to heat up and it uses up quick so you have to take your time one problem I had from the very first time I tried it out was no water coming out of the wand the small holes in the nozzles were stopped up with metal shavings got these unstopped and worked great but stopped up again so take a small pick to fix this and your good to go Oh one more thing there was no instructions on getting the cleaning solution out I always have a shop vac and get it out with this and use it to clean out the dirty water tank.
Hey you can remove grease without hot water. Chemistry.....
We do it all the time, including ovens.
Hot water and wool do not mix.
Most casinos use 100 psi portables, I have used portables with 100 psi, once using chemicals and agitation the 100 psi does a good job.
Just got your course. Will be using a portable to start out in for it is better for me. I live in a vacation town and condos will be main customer. Thanks
mann just in time !!
Exactly on time , im gonna open my own i march
@@dukeridercalgaryi open up next month with the prospector pe5003, goodluck to you man !!
Just curious, are you running 2 trucks now? Saw a new one in a more recent video. Congrats to your success!
Hi great videos !!!
What do you think of the Rotovac monsoon with the 360i instead of a wand ?
Rotovac 360 is an awesome wand with multiple options. Change the head and you can tackle tile and grout, VLM and carpet cleaning. A standard wand is no match against the 360.
Very good explanation and great info and knowledge.
I agree with everything said in this VIDEO 💯
the only thin I do not agree with is the prices discussed here. A Maytee with auto fill and dump is over 4k for sure
That’s a good machine, portable with heat is amazing, obviously not all stain spot are gonna be gone, that’s for sure but with this portable you can go anywhere.
The only thing is…
Some customer are picky, “ why do you have to use our electricity to power up your machine “.
Your attitude is everything, be cool, be nice , chill out but never let them walk over you.
What do you say when customers complain about using their eater and electricity
This advice came at a great time - I'm saving up for a portable to go alongside the services that we have planned out and I can't thank you enough! Is there a specific reason as to why you'd label rugs over wall to wall carpet as a whole different beast and whether I should be worried as someone who isn't entirely experienced that is looking at a client base where they have majority rugs?
Rugs are made of many fiber and many sensitive. Take a rug cleaning course to learn. Wall to wall is safer
Like he mentioned area rugs are typically made with a lot of different fibers. Higher end rugs sometimes have jute/cotton in the foundation of the rug. So he can drink and buckle with just cold water. Identifying the type of rug will also help you determine the material as well. Most cleaning company’s just outsource their area rug to another company to make some money and to make a client happy
Thanks for this breakdown 🙏
Great info on this one
Which machine are you talking about at 7:31? I could not make out what you were saying. Also what is the model of the one you have there? Also whats your opinion on the Daimer portables? Thanks
Great video sir ❤😊
Great video
Hey Tommy, what mic are you using?
I finally got my first portable, and I cleaned my first commercial carpet and looked great for about a month, then I came out looking worse than before looks dark everywhere
Make sure you are using the hottest solution possible especially on commercial carpet. Remember not to over wet the carpet. Use a post bonnet on more severely soiled carpets to avoid wicking. Good to have air dryers on hand. A hotter solution allows you to run a higher psi. If you don't have good heat, tone down your psi.
@methodcleaningsystems4784 thank you I appreciate the information
Amazing vlog maam ❤😊
Looking to buy a portable and was wondering if being able to control the temp on a portable matters?
Well if it doesn’t have pump in pump out feature you can just add desired heat water to the portable from bath tub. If it does come with those features but not heater in the portable, heat helps but not a necessity for carpet cleaning.
After you pre spray, how long should you let it settle in before you start cleaning
15min. is norm.
The more heat you have the faster you clean and the faster your carpets will dry! Not rocket science. It's harder to vacuum cold water than it is to vacuum steamy water due weight and or gravity.
Please I want to learn more
@@alexnicodemus6543 what would you like to learn?
What do you think cleans better a regular wand or a zipper ?
Zipper is a over kill for most residential but great for commercial
Hope you're doing alright.
Going from a TM to a portable makes me sad. Portable feels like a toy and not doing a thorough clean.
Hey man if I join your course would I be able to have a 1 on 1 with you?
Yes a phone call if needed
Hello brother, I am in Cameroon and I would like you to help me with a cleaning machine so I can work to support my family. I'll pay you back, please help me get started in entrepreneurship; life is really tough here.
Actually hot water is extremely important 😂 I don’t care what you say
300 psi is not enough? wow
For carpet cleaning yes it is.
My Monsoon will handle 200 feet of hose,
yeah right! my Bauer from Home Depot too
@@Beluel The Monsoon with new high performance ZX vacuum motors produces enough vacuum power to efficiently run up to 200 feet of vacuum hose and operates on two 15 amp circuits! With it's large 15 gallon clean water tank and automatic pump out of the dirty water, the Monsoon sets a new standard for portable carpet cleaning machines.......... I love you people that don't know what Google is.
@@jimp925 people know what google is , however is not a portable in the USA that can
produce over 310 water lift or a 350 of CFM
And if is one let us know so we can purchase one !
@jimp925 did you purchase the 250 or the 500 monsoon right now I am trying to decide between the janilink or the monsoon the janilink has a heater and the monsoon doesn't and they are around the same price
@@jimp925 what do you do for heat ?
