I can't stop grinning. This is the best $1400 I've ever spent.

(Bet beasti knew what I bought by just reading the title

I just got my Sensei Carpet Extractor!!! This thing is a friggin' beast!

It is a 6-gallon solution tank and a 6-gallon recover tank.

It has an inline heater and it gets the water HOT! The hose was getting hot and the metal connectors that connect the hose to the machine and the detail tool would burn you if you touched them. Whenever I extracted and was sucking up water the metal vacuum tip would get warm from the sucked up water.

The vacuum on this thing is also a beast. It takes 13amps on its own! After doing a section of carpet it would be like 95% dry in 15mins. I'd have to really press my hand down and rub it around to find any damp spots.

Of course, right off the bat I have to trip a breaker... Pulls a lot of power. I need to get a generator soon now to run this thing.

It is also a lot of fun to use. I love it! Here is a pic of some of the dirty water that came out of the recover tank when I was done. Look at all the dirt it pulled out!



And here is a picture of the beast itself!



I think I'm gonna get a floor wand for it so I can use it to do all my home carpets. I'm gonna try to do a whole bunch of carpets tomorrow. This thing is fun to use.

 

Hey, where you live...Just moved to Hammond....You renting it out??
TimT

 

I'm in Metairie.

Am I renting what?

 

Well you know I think its a waste of money, but hey I blow $800 on exhaust When you gonna do my interior?

 

Yeah Intel... since you're enjoying using this thing so much, if I were to just SCHWING by your place (it's kind of a long drive), you could fine tune your deep cleaning skills on my carpet. In fact, I'm leaving right now. I'll be down there in about 10-12 hours... have that thing revved up and hot to trot!

LOL!

NICE MACHINE MAN... I had a buddy that did carpets (vehicles, houses, etc.) back in college. He paid for his cleaner in a period of about a week and a half and everything from there (minus solution) was profit. He paid his rent and bills with it EVERY month.

I know you've got it for your detailing business but, I believe it will pay for itself in NO time flat. Nice machine!

I got to try it out on real nasty carpet the other day, a nissan pathfinder.

I left my camera at home so I didn't get to take pictures

I got all the stains out of the carpet except for two small rust spots. They wouldn't come out even with my citrus spot treater. Hmmm...

The water coming out of the machine from that job was 10x dirtier than the water in the picture. The great thing was the carpet was dry in 30mins!

 

You still loving this thing Intel? Had any problems?

RP

 

Still love it.

Only problem I've had is the front wheels locks up and slowly unscrews. Not a problem since I just have to tighten it every once in awhile. They are ordering me a new one on warranty.

 

Nice!!

 

Intel,

Did you get your Honda generator to power that thing yet?

 

My dad has a older carpet cleaner that he bought used, its a heavy beast to haul up stairs, but it still gets the job done greatly, the only downside is moving the furniture if you are doing a house. They are great though

 

hey intel, i tried to drop you a line through this site, but it wouldn't let me. when you get a chance, email me
joshv_85@yahoo.com

 

Not yet. I haven't decided what to do. The Honda Gen I'd need to power this sucker will cost $1800!!!!

 

I hear ya............ I want to get one for the house!
