Recommend me a steam cleaner

As I understand it these steam cleaners live a lot longer if you run them on kero rather than red diesel. Don't let them run out of fuel mind.

Have you had bad a experience with running out ? , we have a bray ton engineering single phase hot washer , been very good , if it runs out you just refill it. They are a local company in Carlisle and give excellent service if you do need anything

Never heard of that one.... it says diesel & thats what ive always put in hot washers..
Kero will burn even hotter id imagine so not be advisable surely?
Change there inline filters once every 2-3years & give little trouble
Make sure its clean diesel of course

Karcher are shite...who did you get your Mac off please?

Agreed! Speaking to a rep at a show before I bought my avant he was trying to sell me on the benefits of all the electronic program options on the karcher, hmm no thanks

Bit of a funny story behind buying my Mac, I organised to buy on approval, bloke turns up and wheels it off the van, plugs it in and starts to “demo” it but it wouldn’t get hot, turns out whoever had done the PDI had filled the fuel tank with detergent (neither of us could work out why!) so I also got a demo of how easy they are to strip the fuel tank off! I agreed to buy a Mac but said I wanted 1 that hadn’t tried to run on soap so they brought another out a few days later

if anything thats the only thing if they could have integrated a chem tank otherwise its a fab machine.
i added a double length lance so mine is 20m now makes a right difference.
run the heat at 90c all the time its all it ever needs too be at.

Yeh I did like that the Edge I had before did have a Chem tank for convenience but it’s not a drama really, I run a 1 piece 20m all the time (hate joints for getting snagged) and a 10m extension for when washing pig sheds, 90 degrees all the time as well on either a turbo nozzle or standard, always runs at 100bar

Another vote for Cleanwell here. Need to keep it turned down or you can take paint off.
Go for higher volume and lower pressure variant, but tattoo it on the chap's mind and forehead otherwise they'll send out a standard one.
Keep away from Kranzle IME, but Ehrle good.
What model do you have snarling bee?
