It seems that we made a good choice by going with an extractor right off the bat. The wife has a fancy house style steam cleaner that she did the house with about 3 weeks ago. Thought she did a wonderful job. Last week the extractor showed up... a Ninja 150 also bought a carpet wand for residential and commercial carpets. Over a 2 day period she did the house again and it's amazing how much more the extractor picked up. The water from the recovery tank was dirtier than from her personal steam cleaner. Very impressed to say the least.

I honestly wouldn't say that my Mytee is small, but if you compare it to the other Mytee models yes it is on the small size....I'm just not sure what your comparing it too that's all...hope this helps

I was comparing it to the bigger Mytee units, I just checked the dimensions and its fine size wise. Also isnt the HP-60 a 3 stage vaccum unit thats a bit more water lift than the Mytee Lite 2?

If you put Carlos's mytee beside mine, it'll look small. If you have it sitting by itself, or by house hold vac system it will look QUITE large! It's well worth it either way though, imo taking the pluge now saves you from having to do it later

I've been looking at the 5hp Ridgid vac for quite some time now. I currently have a small shop vac. I just want something more powerful. Can the Ridgid be used as a blower?

yes, it can be used as a blower. Make sure to have the filter in otherwise you'll blow rocks and other things that are near the little suction area.
