I've tried it and I liked it. I have a different machine, however. All the parts on the M12 are quality, except I think the body could be stiffer and the back wheels could be stronger. I like the fact that it has a heater (for carpet) and the vacs are in parallel, whereas many T&G machines (like mine) have the vacs in series (DUMB!). |

| I don't know anything about it. You want to make absolutely certain it has Lamb-Amatek vacuum motors in it. Check out the pump to make sure it's made by a good company. Most parts in most machines are made by the same great companies, but these days some motors are showing up that are not made by those companies. Be careful. |

Currently have the M12. Great unit. Love it. When/if you purchase one, do yourself a favor and check all the hose clamps to make sure they're tight. Also check your pump out float as sometimes they tighten them too much from the factory and they stick and it won't kick in to pump out and you have water all over the place. Hasn't happened to me but I've heard others mention it's happened to them. Goodluck. Mark ------------- Don't take your organs to heaven.....

well going to pick up my mytee m12 wendsday excited about it.....how much hose do you guys think i can use on it before i lose suction...i believe two duel stage vacs.....35 ft..should be exceptable?
and as far as the low end psi...its 250 psi for the carpet i am currnetly using 100 psi on my other portable no heat...with the heat and the extra pressure should be a much needed improvemnet

Are you asking about hose length for carpet or tile? With tile I would guess that you can go as far as 100 feet and it will be able to keep up (I've never actually tried this, so it's a guess). On carpet, avoid ever going above 50 feet, but try to keep it at 25 or 35 (if you have to). On the T&G machines, the gauge often doesn't work on the lower settings, so you have to guess, and even then you have no idea what the actual gpm is at that setting. It probably won't be that way with your machine, but I'm just warning you. |

Adam. you can get away with 100ft. of hose for T&G. I don't think the heat will will really benefit you with the porty. It's hard for the heat on these porty's to keep up with the psi on T&G. Keep your min. psi for your spinner at 600psi. I believe the spinners require at least 500 psi or better to work efficiently.
