Without a doubt IMO the best Portable under $2000 is the Mytee 1005DX or the Mytee 1003DX. If you like your portable without the heater built in, go with the 1005DX for $1600. If you want the heater built in then the $1800 for a 1003DX is the way to go.

Now Ken, what is the most powerfull?

**Glides-R-Us 1-757-486-3532** · 01-27-2010, 12:01 AM

The 1005DX. It uses 3 stage vac motors with more power than the 1003DX has.

Those Mytee machines do look impressive man. All I have ever used or tried was the Speedster.

Damon call me
ken Wrong answer, my machine is the answer LOL, I guess it is true anyway.

**Glides-R-Us 1-757-486-3532** · 01-27-2010, 02:14 AM

Now Jaime, you know that your machine cost more than $2000 to build, especially when you count the initial cost of it and add in the mods you have done. that is why I never named it in my answer.

**locko-fabara** · 01-27-2010, 03:51 AM

Well Ken you won in this one LOL

**locko-fabara** · 01-27-2010, 03:54 AM

Hey Ken,Send me the slotted glide, when i open the package i noticed i have exactly the same glide it was on the cmp.
Do not worry,i will send you a money order with all the shipping you have payed. After I try the slotted glide,i will decide which glide i will keep.
Thanks Ken for your Help.

You cannot go wrong with Mytee products. All the 1000 series machines will get the job done! They are well built and maintenance free.

Ken Harris,

What is the difference between 2 stage, and 3 stage vac motors? Also, is the M5 more powerful than the MDX and other models mentioned at the top of this page?

THank you,

Marcos

**locko-fabara** · 02-14-2010, 10:33 PM

Hey Marcos.
i think the difference is the motor with more lift and cfm, the ones with no heater have more cfm and lift.

Mytee is using what I believe is the only diaphragm solution pump available that is still being made in the US.

We manufacturer our own plastic housings right here in our plant, from scratch.

We assemble everything we sell, from the ground up, right here in our own factory in Poway, CA.

We offer a 2-year warranty on all the major components in our units

We offer a lifetime warranty on every plastic housing we make

3 stage are better because of the extra lift you get from them.

Currently the most powerful motors(3 stg) in the industry are found in only 3 machines as far as I know:

The M5
The 1005DX
The Titan 345-X3

That Titan look nice but does it have separate vacuum stacks like the Recoil and M5? Did you help design that with larry cobb from cobb carpet supply? Does it through breakers? I bet it is a real animal with 3 -3stage vacs, are they full power 3 stage or the weaker ones? the big 3 stage vacs that larry is selling are pulling 13-14 amp each.2 on one cord would be 26 amps ?

**locko-fabara** · 02-17-2010, 03:07 AM

my machine has 10 stages total. 2 3 stages 137 lift each one and 2 2 stages 85water lift, only 2 cords.

**orbit-kleen** · 02-17-2010, 03:39 AM

what size pump locko ? I think that people need to turn the pump way down when cleaning with a portable at 100' plus if you prescrub then jyou just have to use a quick rinse with the HWE and you will be good to go with good dry times.

**locko-fabara** · 02-17-2010, 04:05 AM

I have the 205 pumptec with .25 hp motor, it is enough, i use a 13 inches 175 with a 17 inches bonett pad not only to agitate or pre scrub, but also to remove some dirt and some of the pre spray. the rinse process is very easy. drying time is around 2 hours.

**Ed Valentine** · 02-17-2010, 09:57 AM

WOW, I could literally write a book about the subjects above in regards to power requirements and stable performance(s).

Maybe I'll start that book this afternoon!!!!!

The very best to all;
