CFR  tools are different but i wouldnt buy a porty that has a 135psi pump and only one vac a spotting machine is fine with one vac but for carpets i would want at least two.

Presume you've never used either a Ninja or a CFR machine, both and I'm sure many others with similar pumps / vacs are capable of anything you achieve with whatever you use.

To regard them as spotters is unbelievably naive and lacking in knowledge or experience.

First of all i never said a ninja was a spotting machine and i have used one a few times when i was talking about spotting machines i was meaning a Prochem Bravo or Spot Pro or similar they have one vac and are ok for spotting.Dont see the point of spending nearly a grand on a machine that has only one vac anybody can clean a carpet with one vac but why make things harder for yourself.When it comes to experience nobody can come close to you as you think your a total smart arse thats why you keep posting under different names like carpet guy,you will start an arguement make a tit of yourself and then come back and post under a different name your an idiot.

Ahhh Darren

Yes I have used more than one name most recently to satisfy the requests of other posters who wanted to know who they were talking to and previously because you have to re register if you forget your log in details after an absence of a while.
If a post suggests a machine with a single vac and / or 135 psi is only usefull for spotting it deserves a reply a reply.............Why ?
Because there are hundreds of hard working people out there using such machines every day and may be insulted by your comments.
Personally I don't give a monkey's about your comments but don't insult other people who use what to you, are underpowered machines. Compared to some machines they ARE underpowered, but they can and do achieve acceptable results for operators who don't mind having to break sweat.
There are MANY lower than 135 psi and single vac machines which are still being sold and used for domestic carpet cleaning because they get acceptable results.
Hope you're machine is behaving better these days

There you go again more nonsense now iam insulting carpet cleaners who use 1 vac machines times have changed for the better we all no about the days of 60psi pumps and 1 vac as standard its only MY opinion i wouldnt spend a grand or more on a machine with one vac  is that ok for you Robert,rob m,therapist,carpet guy or what ever your calling yourself now.

Another thing 135psi is more than enough to clean a carpet and ive been using less than that for the last fortnight with my powermax with great results however i wouldnt be happy using 135psi with only one vac there has been ocasions when one of my vacs has died on a job and had to finish with only one vac running and thought the results were poor.
