I am looking for a new one. Are the dry masters worth it? Pros,cons? Or stick with my pro chem?
What uph tool do you use?

and keep the PC, you'll need it for those rare occasions where the SS does not shine.

I Love the Prochem Tool.
It leaves upholstery super dry with a great production rate. I never understood the jetless upholstery tools. Upholstery is not flat, how do you clean the corners with the dri-type? With the Prochem you can use your hands to restrict flow and vac along the corners and have full control of vac, heat and PSI. If it not heavily soiled, mist, vac and pack up!

I have a:
Kleenrite tool.
PMF internal jet
Drymaster
and SS tool.
Beside the PMF internal jet tool, they are all collecting dust.
I really don't get what the big deal is about the SS tool.
Doesn't clean that well, does not get to hard to reach places and hard to maneuver.
PMF all the way. Durable, costs a third of the price, easily reaches every nuke and cranny and using the right technique- cleans better.
And don't give me that "mythological" explanation about the superior cleaning results of the shearing effect.
I have one word for it: "Give me a break! I know fluff when I hear it! And it seem to float around quite a bit? What's next- cleaning by flying pigs?"
OK? eat yor heart out Werner
Besides, where is Larry and his phenomens de jour when you need him? I've seen Jimmy naked eat yor heart out Werner

Like the Drymaster before it, now the SS claims the 'de jour" title
never used the SS so can't say if it's any better than the the OVER PRICED and over hyped Drymaster (which i don't think much of)
But when I hear things like
"it's a great tool, but keep your Prochem tool "
Makes me think it works great on clean fabric, but ain't all that on soiled fabric ...JUST like the other "trendy" and OVER PRICED OVER HYPED plastic POS Drymaster
so i just can't comment on SS cleaning performance
PMF internal jet user too.
i don't know that's there one single upl tool that "perfect" for everything
but the internal jet PMF is as close as it gets LIKE!

I don't like to clean upholstery never have and probably never will. About three years ago I tried a Drimaster and a Hydro Kinetic to see if there was a way to make me like it. Neither of those tools did and frankly the only thing IMO there was to like about them was the reduction in overspray onto the floor. I have often thought the PMF tool Ofer spoke of would probably be the best over all on a day to day basis. I have been using a Prochem for about ten yrs it gets the job done but I feel there are just to many parts in it, really why? Do some of these manufacturers make things complicated just to justify a high Price?

How much you want for your SS tool?
I have a hydrokinetic tool and it works good... Safe on fabrics, no snagging like the older drimaster and internal pmf tool... It is heavy, but does a good job... It is somewhat difficult to get the corners, but you just cover half the head and get it done... I've had the ProChem tool, drimaster, internal and external pmf, hydrokinetic... I prefer the HK tool over the rest...

We have and use both the pro chem and dri master. 1kaday said to put a Teflon glide on the prochem tool it makes that tool phenomenal. I am going to do so. The dri master has been great for us. Yes, the flow knob leaks after awhile a bit and needs a rebuild but, it cleans and dries great IMO. The pro chem works great on the mist & vacs and corners and such.

Hhmmmm now I'm really not sure. I wonder if my local interlink dealer will let me play with one for a day. I'll have to ask

After using the SS all the rest of my upholstery tools collect dust.
The only problem is it terrible at picking up pet hair.

Big upgrade from a 3 1/2 inch external jet tool.
For you guys who are using the SS tool, what PSI do you set at the truck?

The Sapphire uph. tool makes cleaning upholstery more productive.
The pressure valve allows quick adjustment of water amounts for different fabrics.

Hydrokinetic tool.
best mod I've done to an uph tool is replace the hose with a 30ft length of 1.5" superflex and hide-a-hose (ie soln line is in the vacuum hose)

The PC tool sucks on Micro fabrics, back splatter everywhere. The SS kicks ass on Micros which much to my dismay, is about we see these days. I hate the crap.
But for fabrics that need to be sprayed from a distance then vacc'd off, you just cant do that with the SS.
and the PC excels on steps and the side of the terlet.

So with the ss you don't need a dry pass? Thanks for the video Larry.

PMF internal jet. Adjust the pressure properly and you can clean like a Drimaster with the trigger always depressed. Great on contours with the right technique. Just a tough effective tool.

SS is the best but we will use the Prochem on upholstery when we need to really flush it. We also have a slew of other brands we've tried but collect dust.
Ofer sell the piece of junk SS for half the price!

You need to give it another try, its really a nice tool. I think if you give it a fair shot you'll see.
