What is this....thing....?

Buddy of mine was at an auction the other day and saw this on display. Can't say as I've ever seen anything like it. Looks like an old school portable

That's the unit I started with over 30 yrs ago. I believe it was called Deep Steam. Mine had SS tanks instead of the plastic ones shown in the picture. One 2 stage blower and a 60psi centrifugal pump.

Yep Deep Steam. Some of the Kleenrite forbears, among them Arlen Knight, were involved...Bill Hachtmann maybe too?

looks like a drag wand

I also remember stainless steel tanks for the Deep Steam machine. Didn't the SteamMatic machine look much the same as the Deep Steam machine?

I always thought my Steam Way 400 was better looking back then (1970). http://www.northlandakitas.com/delta/rochester.htm

Hey Scott, take a look at this early piece of carpet cleaning equipment - any guesses as to the year?

Nice to see you back on the Boards.
