I would have to pull the screen off and manually spin impeller with awl to
free it up again. It would work for a while and then seize. Tried keeping a
little anti freeze in the tank and that didn’t help. Finally what seems to
be working is a little 3-In-One oil before and after every use. Knock on
wood it seems to have worked.
( I probably just jinxed it now )

up in the middle of a job . Just curious what problems you've had with
yours.

I have a Whissper machine with all the attachments for an extractor.
It is however, extremely temperamental, as heavy as a baby elephant
and requires separate circuits for the 220 power. It also doesn't heat
the water and is no good if it's been in a freezing van over night. I
don't typically take it on tests for all of these reasons. Does anyone
know of a reliable and more portable extractor?
Cheers
