But, Willy, together you and I only have 65 years experience. Surely not enough to give a truthful and honest bit of advice!

geez Ed, I'm still an apprentice with 30 years. Electric is an absolute misnomer. If you have any flow from the pump, it can't and won't keep up. Add to that the pump priming problems with internal "heaters" and blow that part out of the water, so to speak.

If you want POWER in performance (extraction) and HIGH PRESSURE in an electric 120v machine, you won't find it out there. Give up the HEAT (amp) demand that will not heat a drop of water on any high pressure psi machine, and you might be happy!

The word seems to be that it's not as good in person as on paper, especially the heat. The guys who fix machines at my supplier love it though. It's really easy to work on because there's lots of room that allows for a user-friendly layout of components. I saw one demonstrated for tile use and I was impressed. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Stonetech instructor recommended the method I'd already been doing instead: prescrub with a floor machine and then extract using 500 psi. I'd rather have 1200 psi, but that's what the guy said. Also, if you instead purchase a less expensive porty plus a floor machine, you'll spend roughly the same amount as for just the King Cobra and be in a better position to expand your services.

Hi,
What's the word on the US Products King Cobra Extractors? I'm thinking about buying a Portable with heat and High PSI levels to also do tile. I really like the Wand Caddy and Built in Hose reel.
