I use a Mytee Vortex. I have a powerful generator to run it because if you connect both of the electrical cords to someones home it will pop the breaker. I have both a tm and electric. I prefer my Vortex as it sits in the van like a tm and I can run about 175 feet of hose. When something breaks its easier to fix. With the vortex I mostly do tile and carpet. They both have their place.

So there are so many different suggestions and methods pointed out, but none that seem to be at the forefront of a decision.

For me, I am looking for a portable that will work well to clean my rentals, personal home, and do auto as well. I'm looking for something that will do the job WELL.

What do you recommend for this? I've been looking for quite some time, but not  sure.

I have several portables I use all are used in different situations and have good suction. There are good portables out there and accessories that help the jobs go faster such as the steamin demon and rotovac.  Also pre-scrub and pre-bonnet the floors.  And most importantly use the right chemicals for the right job.  All these thes have allowed me to be extremely successful using portables.

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Who cares?  If you don't buy auto-fill/auto pump out you are just a) kidding yourself that you "saved money" and b) are wasting too much time with buckets.

Depends.  Welcome to the bucket brigade.  Why does it matter how many it takes?
