hi
i thought lavor seem to be everywhere. do you have one?

which would you go for in general steam cleaner or hotbox. cant do both at minute.

 advantage of hotbox is diesel so no power although most need gennnie as well. but steamer as you say uses a lot less water and is quicker and cleaner.

 plus you can use on food hygiene, ovens etc. and you dont need gallons of water to work.

 its a case of you need both i fear, trouble is you end up with thousands of pounds worth of kit that sits there for months unused.

 thanks for your help!

cheers

john

i have a mr gummy machine that i purchased recently on this site it does a good job but i find it much slower than using a hot pressure washer, it does have its advantages though in that you can still use it even when there is lots of pedestrian traffic and you can still use it on softer surfaces like some tarmac surfaces where a pressure washer could cause damage, so they both have there uses

Mr gummy is a Matrix machine who used to be steam clean uk before they went on their own, they are who I bought my Osprey from about 8 years ago. I agree with the previous posts but I tend to used the steamer for gum as its so much less hassle
