    Agree - I'd love a steamer. This is a great price at $200.

    I have had a VX5000 for a few years now and it really works nicely. But it is way out of the $200 range but still a few hundred less than $1000.
    Yes, it is awesome on cleaning cloth seats. I wrap a white towel around the big triangular shaped brush head, spray some APC on the cloth seats, brush it in just a bit, and apply steam to the seats. Look at the white towel and its covered in brown grime stuff. Remove the white towel, put on another and repeat steaming. Less and less brown stuff.
    Wipe down steamed seat with a white towel, until you see no more brown stuff on towel. Seat is clean, dries really fast, looks way better, Client is thrilled!

    You have to use common sense when using steam - not too much on one spot, move the tool quickly over seat, you will find your rhythm, remember what is under the cloth, and take care not to hurt it.

    Hope you guys find the machine that works best for your needs.

    I put 3 quarts of water I believe in the VX5000 and it can go all day long and not need a refill. It also has a real pressure gauge, so you always know where your pressure is.

    good deal compare to the Vapomore machine.
    Steam machine is very good for interior work, I have fun using the vx5000 but I always want a Dupray Super Carmen Inox which can steam/vac at the same time.
