when i get the time and money to fly over to you guys on this site for hard floor training .Im going to need a porty for times my truckmount wont reach.Whats the best porty for hardfloors.
-
Don't do hard floors myself but Airflex, Alltec & solutions do 800psi versions of their machines. I think Woodbridge have a 1200psi machine based on the Mytee.
-
I know dam all about T&G cleaning or whats required but i recall a few discussions regarding portables ...
i think those who opted for the high pressure systems never found the porty pumps ( usually 1/2 HP ) all that great , sure 800psi but thats with one tiny jet ...
Many opted for the expensive mytee water hog external pump , dont think they sell it now but its basically a general triplex pump on a bigger motor ...
exactly like this ... probably the exact same ...which may be an option

I wouldn't touch the mytee m12 from woodbridge .... outdated , not made any more ... built for 120v ..ie two weak two stage vacs ... unnecessary second pump ,
some fussy plumbing ...
mytee have some fantastic new machines ,M5 ... speedster ltd ... but we dont get them ,yet anyway .
I believe if your using an RV with t/g head u dont need as ,much pressure so the storm etc may suit .

hey john,only doin a few tile and grout,dont want to sell it before i get some training,
i didnt buy the hard floor brush for the 360i,not meant to be all that good.
Bought a turbo hybrid spinner,mini turbo and hard floor wand,plus my low speed for aggitation.yeah the storm looks like a nice machine,heard only bad thinks about mytees m12 so thats not a option.thanks
-
Yes , or perhaps Ashbys Enforcer with built in v2 steammate for same price as a storm
and perhaps the optional APO
... the more i look at the Enforcer the more i think it may well the best machine out there ...

A decent rotary and a wet vac pick up is all you need for effective hard floor cleaning.
It's not necessary to blast hard floors with high psi.
-
Steve is right why not try the hard floor section Kevin Martin he doesnt use high psi at all although I believe it would be quicker with power.

I use a Vicvtor europa with a hard brush, aqua mix and a decent mop and wringer, have got loads of hard floor work on at the moment, more than carpets in fact, have been thinking about getting a hard floor wand, but have not really needed it
-
Surely a cheap way of doing hard floors with high psi would be to use a small pressure washer coupled with a rotary patio cleaner with a vac port added on and extraction using a porty or a wet vac with submersible pump for auto empty.

I have cleaned plenty of hard floors using a twin vac.
The work is done in the prep stage, machine only rinses and dries.
