Chief Steamer 125 Industrial Steam Cleaner!! Clean Wheels, Interior, Rinseless Car Washes!!

[@apexdetail85]

Do you incorporate steamers into your detailing regimen? What do you use?

[@jamesbiedlar590]

McCulloch 1275

[@richardseem7948]

mculloch 1275

[@loopsandthreads5028]

Yes....McCulloch as well.

[@alexbryan9716]

Homeright steam machine

[@KaliberAutoDetailing]

the vapor chief 100

[@madwax1360]

I got the 100, and have been using it every day, even outside in the elements for almost a year now. The quality of the machine is outstanding, and I couldn't live without it. I chose them too for the exact same reason....customer service! Yes, Kevin is the one who you'll deal with, and he picks up when you call. It's nice knowing he will stand by his machine. He's also very accessible on Facebook, and responds to questions pretty quickly. Great buy B!

[@KaliberAutoDetailing]

does yours spit water out heavily after keeping the trigger pressed in for a bit? Mine will do a nice stream and then out of nowhere spit water out, sucks when I am trying to be careful around electronics and stuff.

[@apexdetail85]

I have been using it daily! Seems very durable.💪

[@apexdetail85]

Kaliber...sounds like you are getting air pockets in the line. Call Kevin...he will fix you right up!

[@KaliberAutoDetailing]

@@apexdetail85 I may have to call him again. He did say at one point that it was normal due to the cold water dumping into something. But I never really see it happen when I watch other videos of those streamers... or others.

[@BillyT531]

This is the best detailing You Tube video out there on the business. No B.S., no egos, no hype...just factual reviews. Curious, do you have any dealer business as part of your clientele?

[@apexdetail85]

Dealership work is a huge help when just starting out....fills the calendar. I had a few in my day. Now I can pick and choose.

[@alenakopyan2348]

Hey bro ... Is the pressure strong enough you think?​@@apexdetail85

[@ronnestman4696]

You and your company are just fantastic! Love your videos and I learn so much. I appreciate your sincerity in wanting to share your knowledge and help the detailing community be better. Thanks Brian!

[@PrestigeDetailingStudio]

Have just made my purchase! I really can't wait to start usung it! 240V unit

[@mattwernecke2342]

I just bought one of these. Thanks Brian!

[@SirClintonPaul]

I have owned the Vapor Chief 100 2 years. Best investment ever. I do wish I had bought the 125, though

[@jessdroid]

We have 2 of them and Kevin helps and very good if anything needs replacing

[@KenHayward]

Thanks for the video, I use mine, it's wonderful to clean with steam, does great on one of my client's commercial location and their large glass windows in front, absolutely wonderful :)

[@KaliberAutoDetailing]

I have the vapor chief 100. I have had it for a bit. Mine will spit water out at random times. Sucks when I am trying to be careful around electronics where I don't want to get too wet. Also the attachment with the 3 holes... have fun with that. After it heats up and doing some scrubbing with the horse hair attachment it will spin around on you. The glue that is holding that into place will just kinda get soft or melt and just lets it spin while using it. Other than those two things ... ya I guess it's not too bad. The pressure will go way way down if you use it for an extended period of time.

[@apexdetail85]

Once you learn its limitations...which I expected from the beginning....It helps a whole lot and will have earned its money in no time.

[@SirClintonPaul]

My vapor Chief 100 does the exact same thing yours does. Spits water occasionally the glue does let loose where the metal meets the plastic. I called Kevin and they sent me a new piece which did the same thing and like Brian said I just learned its limitations and put a ton of gorilla glue on it.

[@SirClintonPaul]

Holding really well so far

[@shaunjones7234]

Great video looking forward to more with the steamer. I personally have been using a steamer in my work for a few years now and would be lost without it.

[@apexdetail85]

Helps with anything around the shop. Not sure why it took me so long to get it.

[@Brian.H..]

Great video as always best detailing channel on KZbin 👍

[@apexdetail85]

Thank you Brian...appreciate it.

[@verdantacres4460]

That is one of the best made!

[@apexdetail85]

I am really enjoying mine Nick.👍

[@supercharged00gtp]

Congrats on the big dog steamer, that thing is NICE!!!! I've got a McCulloch 1275 like many others. This has been a great machine for the limited use. It works great for interiors and lifting stubborn bug residuals from paint. I wish it didn't leave the interior as wet as it does, but I haven't had any mildew issues as long as I mop up as best I can with a couple of mf towels.

[@mikeyp2447]

I would love to have something like that one day!

[@apexdetail85]

There might be financing available...not sure.

[@HeliPadUSA]

Great video that helped me make a decision!

[@quincydolphin8360]

I have a vapor rhino king class steamer 145 psi i mostly use on interior details

[@anthonyspadafora1384]

Would love to see how it cleans mold impregnated boat interior.

[@jamesbiedlar590]

Looks powerful B!

[@apexdetail85]

It is for its size.

[@PetesZ400]

New shop? When is the video tour?

[@apexdetail85]

It will be a while...when it is done. I do much of the work myself.

[@PetesZ400]

I thought maybe you were relocating to sunny Orange County California and I was either going to be a client or an employee when I retire in about 2 years.😀

[@CAPTJ696]

Renting a nice shop space such as your current facility must be expensive. Good luck Brian .

[@KWW0321]

You gotta try one of the Optima steam cleaners!

[@Super-Trucker466]

Yeah the optima is 10k and this one is right under 2k big difference... I have 6k saved up and I still don't really know what way I'm going but it's out of the 2

[@SeanTheDetailGuy]

Right on great job on the seat I appreciate your honesty on the product I can't wait to see what else you use or suggest for the steamer

[@apexdetail85]

It helps with all chores around the shop. more vids coming.

[@joshuaopfer6566]

I always use an air chuck and degreaser when doing that work. I would love to try out a steamer or extractor but i do 90% of my detailing at work and we dont have 1 because we deal with new cars most of the time and the company doesn't feel we need 1.

[@apexdetail85]

If they had one...they would not give it back. Very useful.

[@thebeardedhunter1430]

Hey Bryan! How has it held up over the last 4 years? Any issues or complaints?

[@stephenwhite5444]

@Apex Detail have you guys bought the Chief Steamer extraction hose they sell that allows you to hook your shop vac to it to make it a steam extractor? If so, how do you like it??

[@edgargomez8662]

Bryan good video, I think it's a good option to buy, I think the $ 1,799.00 is worth paying in its performance and performance, I've always been a lover of steam washes, I'd like to see an engine bay wash video, which I think that with this machine could be done, except your best opinion ... thanks for sharing the video

[@apexdetail85]

I will do a few more on the unit. Many ways to use it around the shop.

[@allclearcleaningtv8900]

I would love to see a video of how you steam clean the outside of a vehicle.

[@apexdetail85]

Stay tuned! Coming shortly.

[@allclearcleaningtv8900]

Love your work. You have been so much help to me. Thank You!

[@kevinperez7555]

I regret not buying from Kevin lol I got a mytee lite 3 extractor and would 1 million times get this vs an extractor since I already have vacuums I can hook up to it.

[@richardseem7948]

great video again buddy 🍻🍻

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks!! 👍🍻

[@natfadecole]

Hey thanks for the information in this video. By any chance is there a way the heat from this machine can be regulated. I mean turned lower? So the heat isn’t so hot?

[@rcobsesssed]

Is there any reason the model “75” or “100” wouldn’t be sufficient? I’m only using for my personal vehicles and household use. Thanks

[@apexdetail85]

They are durable enough Mark. Just less pressure. Those can be picked up for better deals.

[@MSRez95]

Did you say you used spring water for this machine and not distilled?

[@jamesbiedlar590]

I have one as well...there is a sticker on the unit that says..." tap water not distilled".

[@apexdetail85]

Tap water is just fine.

[@coreylee9794]

Its alright to use tap water in this machine because the heating unit is outside the boiler rather than inside it. So minerals wont build up on the heating coils because water never touches them.

[@Trumpdog1]

Be honest, that is an affiliate link in the description to the machine

[@MIKEYSREVIEWS]

Great video explanation and demo. Only downside is that this item is costly.

[@apexdetail85]

You are correct...but a better buy than most its size.

[@detailzautodetailing643]

Is there a huge difference between 100 and 125

[@topofthelinedetailingceram3881]

What type of chemicals can you use in the steamer ?

[@markevanado9463]

In the solutions tank, if you were to onr, will it still have to be diluted 256:1?

[@a111z]

How do you choose between this and the airless sprayer, it seems like there’s a lot of overlap in functionality.

[@HardwoodFloorRefinishing]

Can this be used for a Carpet cleaning business? Cleaning carpets in people homes?

[@alexbryan9716]

Awesome!!!

[@apexdetail85]

It is a decent unit Alex.👍

[@offdatgogo]

I was just telling someone today that I really want to purchase a steamer soon. This particular unit might be slightly more than my budget will allow for. They do have lesser models. Do you have any thoughts on those? I know there's nothing like getting the best unit but I may have to wait longer to get it.

[@apexdetail85]

The 100 and 75 are fine...just less pressure.👍👍👍

[@cburg7015]

Any experience with the vapor rino 230V unit?

[@degrootautocare9154]

Great Video!! I have a Karcher DE 4002.

[@apexdetail85]

Another durable brand.👍

[@luckylokomotiongarcias6152]

Must have one

[@smokemirrors1531]

.. you sound like the guy from SGT report

[@arizonathepainter1050]

how many minutes constant heat ??

[@h1989w7373]

Brian steamer looks awesome! I'm definitely looking into purchasing one, I don't use a extractor anymore, too much water it saturates carpets and seats, I wanted to ask how much it cost, thanks brian, harry from sunny California

[@apexdetail85]

$1700.00 worth every penny so far. Will not take long to pay for itself.

[@DETAILINGDETAILING-hb7bj]

Nice been waiting for a vapor chief customer review for years, wonder if this is good for exterior and interior in winter months for mobile use in the northeast corridor, I believe this use can operate off of tap water

[@apexdetail85]

Yes...tap water. I am using it for just that as my wash bay is being worked on. Just takes a little longer... no biggie.

[@petr7884]

Brian, what would you recommend for a professional ozone generator? What do you use if it’s not a secret?

[@apexdetail85]

maxblasterusa.com/

[@theaverageguy8034]

How much is that ?

[@Big_Old_Dog]

Sweet!

[@apexdetail85]

👍😀

[@Dejan_23Unlimited]

It is Amazing steamer ! ... Do you have any other one to recommend As this one is out of stock everywhere ! Looking for really good one, Thanks😉

[@bearns8660]

What size generator can I use on it?

[@mohamedbendahib2032]

Good piece of machine (y)

[@apexdetail85]

It is...love it.👍

[@high-defdetail726]

I've heard really good things about the vx5000

[@apexdetail85]

A good steamer...no doubt. Just less pressure.

[@254JROCK]

Wish list item 🎲🎰. Amazing time/work saver

[@apexdetail85]

It helps a ton in many ways around the shop.

[@theeabster1983]

I guess the McCulloch don't even compare to this machine huh?

[@apexdetail85]

This is quite a bit more powerful.💪

[@zfilmmaker]

I’m not convinced these steam cleaners can do more then a good APC and a hot water soaked rag. Chief Steamer sells many models but never shows them working, only the 125. With all the KZbin video the owner posts, that’s fishy.

[@Clint_L]

Hello good friends. Clint and new subscribers... ;) Great video as always my dear friend. ❤️❤️

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks Clint!!!
