Slow? Try working for Max for one day! We are BUUUSY bringing on new products!

We've had numerous requests from customers to bring extractors onto our shelves, so this should be a good start.

Water vacuum


I agree with a less expensive model say around the 2 to 3 hundred level...I had a real good extractor on lend here...5 gallon model heated...real nice unit...but way over kill on size and for the money overkill on the investment for what cars I would need this for. I do see the need for one in my biz but could easily get by with a 2 gallon tank...even non-heated if that made it cheaper.

Re: AG now has extractors in stock!

There may be less expensive models available that are smaller/unheated, but from our research/testing, we decided we wanted to offer professional grade units to maintain our reputation of carrying high quality products.

I understand wanting to handle quality...but this forum is about detail enthusiasts and amateurs...pro level units IMO are over kill...I know I had one the size of your second unit...and it was way overkill for my weekend needs

Anyway do some quick R&D on the lower priced units so that we can buy ones that fit our needs

Re: AG now has extractors in stock!

We appreciate the input and feedback. We agree that most of our customers are detailing enthusiasts / DIY-type guys, but we're covering all our bases so we have something for everyone. If we do find something that meets our quality requirements that can be sold at a lower price level, we will consider selling them.

Which version of the Mytee do you have? How well does is do on home carpets?

I have had my eye on the Mytee-Lite II 8070 (the one AG sells), the Mytee Spyder HP60 (a little more powerful) and the Mytee Grandprix II HP100 (a little bigger) to do weekend detailing and to clean some rental properties I own/manage and some others I manage with the 8390 wand for home carpets. However, on the site it says for LITE office cleaning. That fact that it says light makes me wonder if it is powerful enough for residential carpet cleaning.

Do you ever come across any neglected vehicles?

We'd love to see some before and after pics of the Mytee Lite II the next time you do a mom mobile. You know, the mini van with coffee stains and french fries stuck between the seats.

What's your interest in this...quality of the unit or performance?

Hope its ones with crayons glued to the carpets

Fires smashed into the cup holders that have been there for a year or better.

Stickers plastered to every available surface that can be reached by little hands strapped into a safety chair...make sure to get pics of all that

Crayons aren't to bad because they are wax, a little heat should melt them. I can eat the fries... I hate stickers...
