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
