Absolute best portable that was made....

Since they won't be loading it in and out of a van, I'd go with a M-5 from Mytee... Or they just came out with the LTD3 I believe... It's 2 3stage vacs with 500psi and heater... I'm still trying to figure out how they got all that in a porty without poppin breakers... It reads very impressive...

I'd go with Mytee as well

When it comes to apathetic custodial staff, the defoamer jug feature is nice.

Plus you can't beat the prices of their units

get 'em any decent porty, Jim.
cause the truth is, it don't matter how bullet proof it is....they'll fck it up in no time anyway.

Buy/sell them a simple, easy to work on/repair porty that YOU will maintain/repair for them .
hell, $ell 'em maintenance contract on the porty


..l.T.A.

Its a big place and a big contract...but I really want no part of this...I talked to the guy today...I told him that I would help him find a really good one for in house cleaning and that I would even be willing to set some time and show them how to run it and take care of it..after that...what they do is there problem...I don't want to baby set them and I can tell you it would be a full time job....

I agree with ruff on the they'll fck it up anyway.This will make you look bad,and you will cause yourself more harm than good at the end of the day. You will be their fall guy for all their fck ups.
I would introduce them to a cimex or O/P. If you want to get real fancy maybe a pile lifter vacuum cleaner for use on their high traffic areas.
They should love you for this and you can arrange to do a full extraction clean of all areas at once maybe every year or 2 at a premium price.

Give them my nuber Jim... : )

I would get them a 1 cord walk behind with built in brush and a bucket heater. I dont see them wanting to mess with more than 1 pwer cord. I would set them up with one mild prespray and tell them to rinse with plain water.

Jim;

There are a couple of good extractors that could be used:

1. Self-Contained Electric Walk-Behind with 22" Cylindrical Brush

2. Mytee LTD without heat (more reliable)
Higher Vac Power but no brush action, silencer available

Ditto. Great advice right here.
