- After the "do I need an extractor for auto detailing" question comes the inevitable: "So, which one SHOULD I buy?" When this question gets asked on the forums, 90% of the people who chime in mention the Mytee Lite 8070 Heated Extractor. I wanted to give the machine an honest review -- and let you know if I think it's worth your money. I can tell you that there are some pros and cons -- and I'll be very honest with my opinions.

*Had this for about 2 months. Absolutely love **MyBest.Tools** Suction is unbelievable. I use it for home projects and around the garage. Wheels are nice even over rough concrete. Havnt even emptied it yet. Cant beat craftsman!!!*
Hey man, just ran into your channel today. I’m in high school and my friends and I started a boat detailing business a few years back and I’ve always had a passion for auto detailing. Love the great information and quality of your videos. Keep up the great work🤙🏻
+Chris Robertson thanks Chris! It’s such a great way to make extra money. But the issue is not spending TOO MUCH money chasing the latest and greatest stuff or you will never make a profit. Hope some of this info can help you guys out (aka you can learn from some of my mistakes!). Being in high school it sounds like you are off to a great start!
Great review man. This is the same extractor I have and I’m getting ready to do a review video on that exact upholstery tool.
thanks dude! I mean I get why it's the "go to" in the industry. The continuous fill, the wheel lock, the 4-gallon basin...it's a nice little machine. Not perfect -- especially the handle design, or lack thereof -- when you compare it against something that is actually designed well. But definitely a solid machine.
Nice informative video.
I've been using a Mytee Lite II (the old green one, it looks a bit like the machine you compared the 8070 to) for about 10 years now mostly with a carpet wand for doing the carpet in my house, and occasionally the hand tool for tough stains and car detailing. It is not for business, just keeping the carpet clean in my home and detailing my cars. Bought it lightly used from a detailer for $400 back then, the machine is probably 15 years old by now and it still works great, have had no issues with it.
I do take good care to drain it out after use, and find that running a little white vinegar through it now and then keeps it clean inside. My home also has a softener/filter system, which helps - hard water is tough on these machine I imagine. The heater is for friggin' real, it gets smoking hot, particularly with the hand tool, gloves are required or it will burn you. I like that kind of power, the heat can keep up with the carpet wand just fine. I do like that my older machine has the handle for easy carrying like the compared machine has.
The best thing about having the extractor is have not had to buy beer in years. Everybody I know wants to borrow it, and I do some "charitable" carpet cleaning with it, refusing money and insisting on beer, because I like beer - LMAO.
Love it! Lol
Thx for the review…yes positive reinforcement…always helps
Just ordered one. Coming in this week
Really considering getting the Mytee in the next few weeks
Just grabed one. Love it. The size and capacity is idea for cars.
Clean freak sells the Sandia extractor, the smaller one, I have used it for alot of jobs, and it is an awesome machine! I purchased the mitee clear wand to use, and it also is an excellent product!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Also, secrets for pre treatment.
Check my last five videos. I did an updated video about my favorite carpet cleaning products:) Updated for 2020
@HAwk Pro Detailing
Hey man. Great video. Can you tell me in what order do you turn the buttons off. Like...I get the order to turn them on; Pump, then heat then vac. But is there a certain order to turn them off or doesn't it matter? Also Do you know how long can i have the heat and pump turned on before it becomes harmful to the machine? I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me. Been asking this question for a while and haven't found an answer yet and Im afraid to start using my machine before I know for sure.
I was about to buy that 3 gallon spotter, but someone was selling a mytee 8070 for $500, so i took that Mytee
Hi from Mexico! I just found your channel and is very interesting with consistent info. With this extractors units can I skip the vacuum procedure? Bc I owned a few karcher carpet extractor units and have to vacuum first. I'm looking for something more powerful still portable. Cheers!
Extractors aren't designed to vacuum up solids unfortunately.
Bruh. Shut up you're making us look bad. Quit being a lazy ass n vacuum first fioken commen sense mate Viva Zapata putos
Thanks for the review on the extractor as I'm in the process of getting one myself. I wished you left he link to the other extractor or at least gave the name and brand so I can research it. Besides that great video. You also didn't show the suction power of the green machine either.
with a good amount of time in between making this video and using the green extractor...here are my thoughts. It won't heat up cold water to hot, so make sure you put hot water in there first. It will maintain that very well. Suction power is fine -- but not overwhelming. This is called a spotter not a portable extractor (in carpet cleaning world). The Mytee 8070 is great because you can continuously fill it up and the heater function works pretty dang well... because you can cycle the water back into the basin from your wand....that's a nice trick to make sure the water is coming out hot and you don't lose any product. The Mytee is a superior machine, and priced accordingly. BUT. Which one do I take to mobile jobs? The small green one. It's super portable and easy to use--also easy to pull in one direction. If I need blasts of power or heat, I compliment the carpet work with my steamer, or perhaps more product or agitation. Or even dwell time for the product. It's all in how you use the tools. Check out interlink aramsco website and if you get one, just get the non-heated extractor and put hot water inside just before using:)
Wow. Thank you for that detailed review and insight of how the both machines work. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work👍
😯 I saw that chiefsteamer lol my favorite 😍
A question, I know it's important to rinse after using high ph chemicals but is it important you use hot water? When I use a extractor I usually use my steamer then go in with the extractor. But always had a retail level extractor like rug doctor. I'm in the market for a new extractor but a hot water extractor is out of my budget. Right now I'm looking at one that is more on the professional level but is not heated. Your input is appreciated
+Cody D my understanding is that the heat is very beneficial for any of these chemicals - one, to help them clean. And 2, the powder like flex ice for instance just mixes so much better in hot water. Here is my hunch-you are “rinsing” the residue of the high ph when you extract. If it’s just water, I’m guessing it doesn’t clean and rinse that away *as well.* If you were to put a flex ice, for example, in regular temp water and rinse out/extract carpet that you had Pre sprayed with something high on the ph scale, I’m guessing it would do a decent enough job. One tip is pretty simple - use water from bath tub, as hot as you can get it, and put it in the rug doctor just before use. I’ll bet that does the trick!!
Hawk Pro Detailing pumping hot water from clean water tank thru pump is hard on the pump and especially on the rubber seals and internals. You would be better off putting extremely hot water on carpet stain and then rinse with warm water with your extractor.
Is there a lid for the fresh water supply? Seems like debris can easily get inside the fresh water reservoir
How does the heat from the litte green compare to the mytee
Can the Mytee Lite 8070 be used for cleaning home carpets?
That mytee is number one.
The mytee tempo has very weak suction, sold mine and back at it with the 8070
+MyToys really?! Dang. I thought the size would be worth the convenience. Thanks for the info
Thanks for the info brother, i been looking for good extraactor with heater, in this point i don’t know what extractor is good for me
+Julio Morales mytee lite is solid bro - I wish it were cheaper tho
Hawk Pro Detailing how you advertise your business bro?
I've got one. No carry handle is such a huge negative though. Rediculous design fault. I'm going to get the handle it comes with chopped up and welded so it's a proper short carry handle 👍
Should do a head to head with the vapor clean desiderio.
I JUST GOT MINE AND IT WONT HEAT AFTER 3 MINUTES OF USE NOMATTER THE TEMP OF THE WATER I PUT IN OR IF I LET IT HEAT UP FPR 20 MINUTES ITL GET THE BRASS SUPER HOT THEN NOTHING AFTER USING FPR 3 MINUTES MY UNIT IS BRAND NEW ANY SUGGESTIONS BEFORE I SEND IT BACK
What’s the green extractor model ? Thanks
+1minibean I got a deal on this. Go to your local interlink store and see what they can do for you. interlinksupply.com/index.php?item_num=MA51H
Hey hawk I have a mytee lite 8070 and now I have a problem with my water pump it's not putting out the psi that is required how do I go about fixing the problem before buying a new one and I'm from the Caribbean which is difficult to get parts at ur finger tips
I haven't loved mytee customer service, but you might try calling them to help diagnose over phone. Are there any janitorial suppliers/carpet cleaning supply stores in your area? They are typically pretty good at fixing hot water extractors
10:35 nothing is perfect, you use and adjust to what best fits your needs. I like the Mytee lite for the way it performs 🤷🏻♂️ been using it for years
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago 1300 and 20 dollor to change out the plastic head for a metal one and service if I need it an hour away
Hey if you dont like the handle that comes on the Mytee an idea is make a new one or get a fab shop to make one (could be done bartering for your detailing service maybe) and then you can create your own handle or even a cage so when you are mobile you do not have to worry about things smashing into it
+grand04gt that’s a great idea dude. I gotta think outside the box more often!
What’s name and model of the other machine and price
How many OZ of chemical do you use with the water in the solution tank
Just read the instructions for Flex Ice on the jug, it's pretty self explanatory. I can't recall off hand
Hell yea Utah detailing, I am starting a mobile detailing service in Salt Lake City area if anyone is interested! Buying this machine now.
yeah man utah has a great detailing scene, no doubt
Do you know how many watts the mytee 1080 uses when using the vac,heater and pump? Have you ever ran it on your generator?
+Daniel not sure...I have the 8070 and it runs off the generator no problem
Hawk Pro Detailing ok awesome! I have a champion inverter 3400 and was getting worried because the heater alone is 1200 watts. Thanks so much! Your videos are great and so if your detailing! Keep working hard man!
+Daniel thanks Daniel! I think of things more in amps. So my new harbor freight can do 23 amps I think? But my old Honda was good for like 12 or 13 I think -Maybe14/15. Usually a machine will say how many amps it’s draws and you can figure out how that might affect your customer’s breakers lol
Hawk Pro Detailing one last question. I was reading the online manual of the mytee 1080 and above models and it says you Need to ground it. Do you ground it to your generator or how does that work?
Ok I got the answers Incase anyone else was wondering. The myteee 1080 and the mytee 120 calls for 20 running amps. So I definitely would only run the mytee by itself if you have 25 amps. Also as a reference for others I know most sites don’t include amps for there products so if you wanna find amps take the total watts and divide it by 120. Same if you only have the amps multiply by 120 to get total running watts. They’re on sale right now at detail king! Very good deals going on
Is the Mytee 3 or is there a difference between 1-3?
Say what? Not sure what u r asking. Mytee 8070 is probably the best all around extractor for most detailers. If you get a shop maybe you go bigger but if you go any cheaper than the 8070...you lose out on performance
You said you paid 9 hundred dollars for this extractor , was it on special sale ? I am asking because wherever I check , it’s priced for like 11-12 hundred and that’s without clear upholstery tool ,which is like another hundred !
yeah I got wholesale price on detailed image. wanna buy my used one? I have 2 other extractors and don't need it...
Hawk Pro Detailing which one are you trying to sell ?
the 8070
Hawk Pro Detailing I’d like to have it in my garage , little too big though . The smaller heated tempo is the size I want but it doesn’t have the suction as the 8070. What are you asking for it ?
Hawk Pro Detailing how much ? Interested
How do they compare to suction and performance
in hindsight mytee is far superior re: heating water and suction. That spotter doesn't do much, but it's compact and if you only extract sparingly...not a bad choice
Wats the detail on dat lil one
Where can I find that other extractor?
interlinksupply.com/index.php?item_num=MA51H
See if you have a local Interlink Aramsco supply store -- go in and talk with them and see if they can cut you a deal. You never know until you ask:)
When buying an extractor what should I be looking for? I’m looking for something that has a lot of power.
EZ AUTO DETAILING TIPS, TRICKS & MORE what kind of work are you doing? Pro? Hobbyist? Mobile? Shop?
Hawk Pro Detailing I work from home and I’m also mobile
Silly, why is that machine dirty? Thanks for the video!
+Scott kelly lol my equipment gets a wee bit of abuse but keeps on keepin on...mostly
Is a used myte lite 2 for 600 a good price
Sure as long as it works:)
@@HawkProDetailing i know dats rite lol
Do you recommend a sandia 50 1001?
I am about to pull the trigger and buy this little beast. How is the suction? Have you ever used it on your own upholstery ie sofa, chair, love seat?
It's not bad! I'll sell you my used one lol. I like my 12 gallon superbeast extractor now 😁
Hawk Pro Detailing for real? I will contact you through your website. My area code is 804, and my email is ro*****tar@gmail. Obviously I am not going to display all of it on here lol.
Hey whats the name of the small extractor ?
Ez spotter. In hindsight I would say buy the mytee the small one doest heat up it can keep something hot but mytee is much better
Get you some pipe a pipe bender and a drill a couple screws and make your own handle and face it over the basin
+Dark Pal that sounds simple ... and yet, I’m not super handy. Would be fun to try though 💪
This might seem stupidly obvious but I just pick it up from bottom and put it in truck. No water in it makes for easier lifting of course.
what's better the 1 or the 2
With some distance since making this video...mytee is awesome. It can actually heat up water and give you better suction. I like how easy to carry/bring to mobile jobs the green one is...but mytee is a superior and more expensive machine
I have been detailing for over 20 years. I have honestly worked on over $50 million dollars worth of cars. I have a total slob with a massive case of ADD. My garage is a total mess and my tools are a nightmare. Keep up the good work. My only advice for you is to watch your back. At 48 I’m not far away from that old guy that barely walks upright. Oh and than sooner you can have other guys make your money the better your life will be.
That's the rough part about detailing. Always bending the lower back. But you really should be taking of your body when it comes to labour. This also means less pizza, less pasta. Don't cut it out but maybe control. Foam roll your lower back too.
+John Watson thanks John! Great to hear. I keep saying in my videos...”I know I’m a mess, but let’s focus on customer vehicle results cause I do a good job 😎😎😎”
Awesome video. Hit the subscribe button. I see your authorized with Opti Coat, me too💪
+Philip Crow sweet man! #Synergy 😎😎😎
I mean I don't think you could do house carpets with that maybe Furniture me and tires but other than that it's not it's useful for carpet inside of a house
any suggestions on a machine FOR inside carpets too?
Yep get a heated portable extractor 500 psi with a wand and hose that you can use for carpets. Try interlink supply or jon don
Its what I use for cars and used to use when I had a carpet cleaning biz for 5 minutes lol
@@HawkProDetailing thanks!
How much for your mytee lite 🤗
How much u got😂
Just messing around😂😂 but what extractor would you recommend for mobile detailing.
BIGJAY555 Aqua Pro Vac is a good mobile one
Hey sell me your basket! I bought a mytee focus vapor steamer that didnt come with one and it's the same part number. $50
+C Lee done
+C Lee shoot me a text 801-888-6817
Damn, Justin Bieber really was lonely..... Out here detailing cars now.
I regret buying an 8070. Doesn’t hold heat for beans! 1 wet pass per 2 or 3 dry passes to maintain heat? Are you kidding me? I bought an awesome cold water extractor!
Dang....I haven't had one in 3 years but I really liked it. I bought a $2,500 professional "portable" carpet extractor and haven't looked back lol.
@@HawkProDetailing what new unit did you pick Nick?
i bought mine for 1300 bucks
nice, do you feel like it's been a good purchase for you?
So you dump the dirty hot water into a toilet , let me know when one of the toilets crack from the hot water..
What do you suggest for general purposes
Throw it out on the grass or street drain ! My buddy did the same thing and wasn’t as lucky as you .. it cracked and started leaking..
@@CHIBA280CRV you think any company would mind if it’s done for commercial cleaning? Let’s say the property has contamination such as oils
