Today I took delivery of a new Mytee 1005 portable. I unpacked it and with in the hour was using it on a brand new townhome that was the developers show unit that had just been sold.
I thought that as a light cleaning I would not expect too much out of it after all as a new machine a guy can be a little apprehensive about all kinds of things.
But as I was working away I decided to put this unit through its paces. It had a lot of features you wouldn't expect to see that were very thoughtful.
It had an unloader valve on the solution pump that made it very easy to dial pressures up and down and hold pressures well.
At the same time I was using the new drop jet Bentley Carbon Fiber 12 inch wand with 4 jets. Given this units substantial flow I was pleasantly surprised by lack of pressure dips this 500 psi pump would deliver.
Back to the new portable. Two cords plugged into two separate 15 amp circuits because of the high cfm two 3 stage motors and the big 500 psi pump. But let me tell you its worth it. With 50 feet of 2" hose it sucks as well as most truckmounts do. No complaints. The unit was convenient to fill and dump as well and light enough easily climb to stairs or load into a van.
The Bentley wand performed well and the carbon fiber shaft made it noticeably lighter to handle. I like the big D handle on it too.
If you are looking to add a portable to your complement of weapons or looking for a respectable stand alone machine this would be a good pick. Priced right and performs far better than most would expect. The Mytee 1005 portable should be the one that all other non-custom portables are measured against for portability and cleaning capacity.
And as it turned out not one adjustment was needed to make it run perfect right out of the box.
Really pleased!
