Frequently asked questions
Do I need a truck mount or will this work for full-time cleaning?
A portable like the 86-R3-100-H handles small to mid-sized accounts and stair work that a truck mount cannot reach. Most full-time cleaners run a portable like this alongside a truck mount, not instead of one.
How fast does the heater come up to temp?
Roughly 5 to 10 minutes from a cold start, depending on inlet water temperature. The in-line heater also tops up temperature during cleaning, not just before.
How is this different from the 86-3100-H twin-motor model?
The R3-100-H uses a single 3-stage vacuum motor; the 86-3100-H uses dual motors for higher airflow and water lift. Single-motor units draw less power and run on a single 15A circuit.
Does it work on glue-down commercial carpet?
Yes. 100 PSI is a typical pressure for glue-down commercial carpet. The heated solution helps lift greasy and oily soils common in offices and food service.
