Levels of Mytee Extractors

If you’re a large-scale professional detailer, it’s tempting to save money by buying a small model extractor and testing its limits. The reality is, you’ll probably end up not having enough power, and you’ll either waste time or possibly not be able to handle your detailing jobs at all. At the same time, a large overpowered extractor isn’t necessary for small spot cleaning, and you might find yourself frustrated at the lack of maneuverability and portability. Here’s a simple breakdown of Mytee’s extractor models to help you figure out what’s best for your needs!

Light Duty

These extractors are light and compact but still well above the quality level of consumer-grade extractors. They work well for low volume detailers, mobile detailers, and shops with limited space. Excellent for easier detailing jobs, quick cleanup, and spot cleaning. Even though they are small, they are… mighty!

• S-300 Tempo Spotter Extractor – 1-gallon tank capacity, 2-stage vacuum motor, 55 PSI pump
• S-300H Heated Tempo Extractor – Same as the S-300, but with a 600-watt heater
• 8070 Mytee-Lite Heated Extractor – 4-gallon tank capacity, 1000-watt heater, 3-stage vacuum motor, 120 PSI pump

Medium Duty

These mid-level extractors are great options for when you’re looking for serious power and longevity while still having a great level of portability and a reasonable footprint. They’re still nimble enough for spot cleaning tasks, but strong enough for full detailing jobs. If you’re a busy detailer looking for some value, consider these models.

• HP60 Spyder Extractor – 5-gallon tank capacity, 120 PSI pump, 1200-watt heater, 3-stage vacuum motor
• 1003DX Speedster Deluxe Extractor – 10-gallon tank capacity, 500 PSI pump, dual 3-stage vacuum motors
• 1005LX Speedster Deluxe Extractor – 10-gallon tank capacity, 500 PSI pump, dual Mytee LX Vacuum Motors
• HP120 Grand Prix Heated Extractor – 10-gallon tank capacity, 1200-watt heater, 120 PSI pump, 3-stage vacuum motor
• 1000DX-200 Speedster Deluxe Extractor – 10-gallon tank capacity, 220 PSI pump, dual 3-stage vacuum motors

Heavy Duty

These are the big boys ideal for the most intense full detailing and the most demanding auto detailing challenges. They boasts top levels of power and heating capabilities, so they can tackle deeply embedded dirt and grime, stubborn stains, and tough restoration. They boast tremendous longevity, so they can be used frequently without worrying about them breaking down. Mytee does a great job of avoiding unnecessary bulk, even with these heavy-duty models, but these are not the extractors you want if you plan to move around a lot with your equipment.

• 1001DX-200 Speedster Deluxe Extractor – 10-gallon tank capacity, 2000-watt heater, 220 PSI pump, 3-stage vacuum motor
• LTD3 Speedster LTD Extractor – 11-gallon tank capacity, 500 PSI pump, 1600-watt heater, dual 3-stage vacuum motors

• Mytee ETM-LX-PLUS Escape LX Plus Electric Truckmount – 12 gallon tank capacity, 1200 PSI pump, three Mytee LX Vacuum Motors
• 80-120 Prep Center with Heat – 12-gallon tank capacity, 1200-watt heater, 3-stage vacuum motor, 120 PSI pump

Steamers

While extractors offer fast and powerful carpet cleaning, they are a bit of a one-trick pony. Steamers are a more versatile option that can be used for carpet cleaning, but also for seats, upholstery, exteriors, headliners, leather, and even removal of stickers and decals. You might choose to use an extractor for tough carpet cleaning, while having a steamer on hand for more specialized tasks. Mytee offers their awesome 1600 Focus Vapor Steamer for specialized cleaning and disinfecting.

Rotary Extractors

Rotary extractors make it a breeze to clean big expanses of carpeting and heavy rugs. They are primarily used for rooms and offices, although they might helpful for unique RV and bus cleaning applications with large, open carpeted areas.

Rotary extractors function in a similar manner to pressure washing surface cleaners in that they have a large circle-shaped cleaning head with a wide cleaning path. These specialty carpet cleaners use solution jets, vacuum glides, and agitating brushes on the cleaning head that spin rapidly to clean carpet quickly and effectively.

• T-REX-JR Rotary Extractor – 12” cleaning head
• T-REX Rotary Extractor – 15” cleaning head
• ECO17-PRO Orbital All-Surface Cleaning Machine – 17” cleaning head

Mytee – A Respected Name in the Detailing Industry

Harry Arseniu has multiple decades of experience in the detailing industry and operates Logan’s Car Wash in Burnham, PA. Harry told us, “Mytee extractors are extremely popular with pro detailers. People have a really good experience with them, so they stick with the brand when they upgrade. I often see detailers upgrade from the 8070 to the HP60 or HP120. Mytee’s products allow you to size up as your business grows, or as you come across more challenging detailing jobs. The great thing is, it’s a similar usability as you upgrade. So, you get a more powerful machine without having to totally relearn how to use it.”
