New Powr-Flite Mid-Size Heated Carpet Extractor
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“Car wash and detail shops need an extractor that gets stains out of seats and floor mats quickly, so cars keep moving through the bays. The PFX1080CW is Powr-Flite's 10 gal mid-size machine set up for that work. A 1,200 W in-line heater adds hot water, which Powr-Flite says helps blast out food and pet stains plus grease and oil, and the 100 psi pump and single 3-stage vacuum motor push solution in and pull dirty water back out. It comes ready for interiors with a 20 ft solution and vacuum hose, a stainless steel detailer hand tool and a 25 ft cord, so there is nothing else to buy before the first car. The controls are waist-high, and it runs on one power cord. Transport wheels in the handle make it easy to load into a mobile detailing van, and large 10 in stair-climbing wheels handle curbs and steps. With 10 gal of solution and an 8 gal recovery tank, it can work through several interiors between refills. For carpeted floors in a building, look at the non-heated PFX1080 with a carpet wand instead.”

Questions
Powr-Flite PFX1080CW: common questions
What comes with it?
The PFX1080CW includes a 20 ft solution and vacuum hose, a stainless steel detailer hand tool with external spray, and a 25 ft power cord.
Can I use it on carpeted floors in a building?
It is designed for automotive upholstery and detailing, and it comes with a hand tool, not a floor wand. For carpeted floors, the non-heated PFX1080 with a carpet wand is usually the better fit.
Does the heater need a second circuit?
No. Powr-Flite says the PFX1080CW requires only one power cord.
How is it different from the PFX1080?
The PFX1080CW adds a 1,200 W in-line heater and a detailer hand tool, and uses a single 3-stage vacuum motor. The PFX1080 is non-heated, uses dual 2-stage vacuum motors and ships without a tool.
