Question: I'm a weekend warrior without a business license. Several years ago I worked for Stanley Steemer for about 3 years. I then owned my own truck mount for a couple of years. I've since gotten into truck driving but still love to clean carpets. I purchased the Mytee lite 3 (2014) just to clean my own home and maybe my family's carpets. I would really like to clean carpets again at a more professional level on the side. A machine that could do the job and leave nothing to desire. I've watched all of Steam Brites videos on youtube and read every carpet cleaning forum out there. It seems that the Mytee Ltd5 is a general favorite. I've read about the Jaguar 6.6 and I liked your video on the Goliath. However, I would like some advice from you guys as to what would be the best machine at 500 psi and above for $2500 max? I've read that the Ltd5 has the general pump that has a gpm of 2.2. The Jaguar 6.6 has a higher psi. However, I understand that the "wetter" the better. Is this true wh
en it comes to portables? I also like the auto fill feature. Do these 3 machines come ready to hook up to a garden hose? Also, will my hoses that came with the Mytee Lite fit these machines? I only have a one jet wand and standard detail tool? Can I get by with the one jet wand for a while? Since I don't have a business license, do you guys finance non-business owners? I have great credit. If not, I can take out a loan for $2500 max. Please give me whatever advice you can. Sorry that this message is all over the place...lol. Thanks, Randal
Answer: Thanks for your interest in our products. You have mentioned some of the top performing vacuum systems on the market today. Both the Mytee LTD5 25 amp and Jaguar 6.6 are 26 amp vacuum systems and perform about the same. The Goliath 30 amp vacuum system is at least 10% stronger. Please note that all three machines mentioned above have all used the same Pumptec 207v pump head and are all rated at 500 psi use with a 800 psi max. None of the electric motors are designed to maintain 800 psi and are not recommended. The Mytee LTD5 has installed 3 different pumps under the hood. The Pumptec 207v, the General T9051EBF, and the Cat 1XP050.051 (1.5 gpm). They are all great pumps but the last I heard the Cat was the latest currently being installed and should only be run at not more that 500 psi. I wish that the 6.6 machine would not promote the 800 psi for it really shortens the life of the electric motor. The Mytee LTD5 and Jaguar 6.6 are suction feed portables by factory default but can be converted to pressure feed use. The Goliath is pressure feed by factory default but can be used as a suction feed if needed. All three machine will hook direct to a garden hose but do not use a traditional garden hose for regular garden hose is not rated for hot water. You need a hot water rated hose instead. You should be able to use your current cleaning tools with any of these three machines but if you used the standard open spray Mytee Lite hand tool the machine will cause substantial over spray. High pressure upholstery cleaning is best performed by internal spray hand tools or other tools that are designed for bi-directional cleaning. Please also note that we are discussing 3 machines that have different packages.
Mytee LTD5
is sold machine only or in packages.
Jaguar 6.6 is only on our site in a package
and the Goliath 500 psi unit is sold with and with out heat and is also packaged with more hoses, wand, and lint filtration system
Neither the Mytee LTD5 or or the Jaguar 6.6 come with the hose mount lint filtration system and please note you will ultimately purchase one. It is NOT ok to use an auto dump system without aggressive lint removal in place. You are going to need to confirm exactly what machine you want and if you need a special quote for one of these machines as a 'machine only' so we can see if we can get the price down to your budget.
