Looking to purchase
Before purchasing a carpet extractor, users are advised to do some research. Experts recommend that users first take a hard look at the supplier and what kind of product offerings they have available. Also consider vendor support. Users want a company that offers local service, on-site installation and stands behind their products. These are machines that need to be maintained and it is important to have access to a service center that is helpful and reliable.
When it is time to purchase a machine, look for one that will increase productivity, performance and ease of operation. Also consider operational safety for workers, as well as customers in the vicinity of the machine.
Below are several issues that you should consider before making a decision.
Water extractors don’t only extract (remove) water, they also expel water. If your carpet gets too wet, drying becomes a critical issue. So look for a machine that specifies ‘low moisture design.’ If you can’t move your extractor around comfortably from room to room - or during the cleaning process - you’re not going to use it. Portability should be one of your main concerns.
Carpet extraction machines used by carpet cleaning services and water damage specialists are usually so huge they need to be permanently installed in trucks or vans. DIY carpet extractors come in a range of sizes. Two features that affect the size of the machine are portability and tank specifications. If your space requires porting the machine over several levels or many rooms, weight becomes a critical factor. Larger machines accommodate sizeable, weightier tanks (one for water or cleaning solution and one for water recovery) for optimized use in more generously proportioned spaces. If the machine you’re considering is large, ask if it has a self-propelled motor, which will counter weight issues by making it easier to handle during cleaning.
It might appear that tanks are an integral part of a carpet steamer. In fact, there are some models that hook up to a water source (like a regular bathroom or kitchen tap) and drain via long hoses. These machines, obviously lighter without reservoir and recovery tanks, are easy to port between rooms as long as the water source/drain are accessible. Choose a model with an adequate mechanism for heating the water to higher temperatures than tap water and enough suction power to get the job done.
Actually, all carpet extractors like it hot. That’s the whole point. If you’re considering a carpet extractor that requires you to pre-boil and load hot water into the reservoir, keep looking. A machine with a well-functioning, built-in heating element will not only heat water more quickly for more effective dirt removal, it will also dry your floors more quickly. A model with a heat booster will give you more control when facing difficult stains.
