I pop them once in a while because of other things the customer has on the same circuits or just old crappy wiring.

No, what I was saying was that the Rotovac salesman told me the 1003HV was a real circuit blower and that unless I intended to use a generator I would not be happy with it.  He talked me out of it and lost some income for Rotovac and him (unless there was some special spiff going on between Mytee and Rotovac on the 1001HV which isn't beyond the possible).

Nice pic, John. That's at least twice the steam I get, but it's proof enough.  There's no convincing Kenny, but those of use who own such machines know better.  That's why I asked others with similar machines to post. I have nothing to fear. Has Kenny ever told us anything accurate about portables the first time?]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:50:26 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4635&PID=139275&title=need-help-deciding-on-portable#139275 <![CDATA[Need help deciding on portable! : Didn&#039;t have 500psi at the...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4635&PID=139167&title=need-help-deciding-on-portable#139167 Author: John L

Didn't have 500psi at the time or higher flow.. At 250psi and 2-03jets its all good.. If you wand triggering back then dry up it gives the heater the time to get real hot.. Now if you keep the trig open constantly then you lose heat..

Have you used one..? Some guys never have but swear they don't work..

Not cased closed. Any heater will get water hot, but not at the higher flow rates. That was my point. ]]> Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:00:41 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4635&PID=139159&title=need-help-deciding-on-portable#139159 <![CDATA[Need help deciding on portable! : This is with the Recoil and a...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4635&PID=139158&title=need-help-deciding-on-portable#139158 Author: John L

Boy, I never thought that my posting about the Raptor would cause such turmoil.  The bottom line is that everyone has their own preference of machines.  That's why there are so many choices.  I really like the Raptor I just bought and that's that.  Everyone should spend less time arguing about machines and more time cleaning!!!]]> Sat, 16 Feb 2008 13:29:07 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4635&PID=139157&title=need-help-deciding-on-portable#139157 <![CDATA[Need help deciding on portable! : I have the Mytee M-12.

Yep. I can see steam any time of the year, just following my guidelines.
