Bought it from FixUpr!
 
It works great and has excellent power! The Mytee Hot heater in the deal works great too! I know some of you might say "big deal" but I'm excited!  My Rotovac package gets here tomorrow and I'll get familiar with all my equipment cleaning a few rooms in my home.
 
One thing I'm wondering, (if anyone knows)...when using autofill can the back pressure in the water line cause leaks in residential plumbing???  That's my concern because I don't want to use it if it does.
 
Perhaps you know Superglide Ken Smile

I am a few months into the ride you are about to hop into. Let me give you some advice: Market the snot out of your business
CLEAN YOUR PORTABLE OUT EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU USE IT! Less you make the customers house smell like feces. 
Save up for a truckmount-its easier on you and more professional. 
Dont give up.

The water back pressure is still there when you turn off your faucet.  No there is no extra backpressure caused by hooking up to your Mytee.

Thanks for the responses!
 
Got my Rotovac package Thursday!  Last night I used it with the Mytee M5 and it worked great! I got good hot water from the Mytee Hot 200-120 and the Rotovac Powerwand is a great machine! A new feature on the Rotovac includes a gate valve on the water/solution line to control how much you use. I did one bedroom in my hose and the carpet looks great!
 
I'm working on my set up and breakdown so when I get started my methods are smooth and proffessional not fumbling and bumbling...LOL!
 
ONWARD!

Rotovac runs a small discussion forum of their own.  The link is on the Rotovac home page.  Don't forget to get involved there as well.
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

I've got an M5,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's a good porty..........I find it heavy but it works great IMO
 
I say tighten the hoses inside the bottom of the machine weekly..........I went to higher pressure lines inside with quick connects to make life easy

I recently got an M5 for high rise and lock-in work.  The thing sucks like a TM.  I'm using 2" hose and my standard 14' Greenhorn wand on it that I use on the Judson TNT. 

The only thing I miss is the heat from the TNT/Little Giant #4.  The other thing about the M5 is its like lugging around a portable dishwasher - it's really heavy.

I know what you mean about the connections. The quick connect idea is a good one.
