Yes i have one and it is good.  I only put warm not hot water in tank to avoid damage to pump and you can get really hot water / steam out at the wand. Don't use it on all jobs if only lightly soiled but is good on heavily soiled carpets. Not had any problems so far, brought my second hand but it had only been used a few times.

That will depend on your flow rate, psi and how quick you work when I need a boost I slow down a bit

Yes will stay hot if you use it as instructions, see Cleansmart website for info, basically 4 wand strokes followed by 4 dry strokes.

I had one for a while, but it started leaking, it went for repair but was soon leaking again.  I was using the heater in the machine and then putting it through the magma  ;D, and that apparently was what was making it leak.
