120 Volt or 230 Volt?
Please help me decide
See "pros & cons" below
Either choice is a winner! The Vapor Rino 145 is king in the both the 120 volt and 230 volt all electric dry vapor, commercial steam cleaner class. No matter which unit you get, you are getting the best of the best. Maximum PSI is exactly the same in both units. That said the units perform differently. The 230-Volt has more than TWICE the output of the 120V. The 230 volt is also designed to handle a HUGE 26 foot long main steam hose NOW INCLUDED! The 120 volt is only designed to work with the standard 12 foot hose. We now have a converter available that lets you turn two 115V household outlets into 230 Volts instantly. See Instant 230 Volt Converter here. Of course you can install a 230v outlet at your location or just use a generator & go 100% Mobile!
The "Magic" Box: Lets talk about this converter for a moment. All the power of a 230 volt Rino off of two 115 Volt Outlets??? Our unique light weight converter essentially allows you to run our 230V Vapor Rino's on standard house hold 115 or 120 Volt outlets! Amazing but true. By plugging into two independent outlets you can combine one 115V outlet to another 115V outlet and get 230 Volts instantly. Our systems make having and using a HIGH POWERED STEAMER Easy.
Shared Features: Both the 120V & the 230V have the same peek 145 PSI (10 Bars), and feature adjustable steam and chemical feed flow control. Both are the same size, weight, have the same hose & gun. They also have the same large accessory package. Sitting side by side you can not tell one from the other. So what are the main differences? Lets take a closer look...
120V = Maximum Portability. Though both VR commercial steam cleaners are the same size and weight, the 120V gives you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it. Why? Simply because you can plug it into any standard household outlet. Running at just under 15 amps, it will work in your home, office or anywhere you can find a working 120V outlet. This flexibility makes the 120V Vapor Rino a very popular choice of among our customers. There is no doubt, the 120V version is very popular. See the 120V page here
230V = 3 Times the power! The added power of the 230V system means it can handle a LONGER HOSE up to 26 feet long. The 230 volt system heats up time 3 times faster then the 120 Volt and it has about 8 times the recovery rate of a 120V! More below. A simple rule of thumb is this: If you have or can get a place to plug it in, I would get a 230V Vapor Rino Vapor Steam System any day. If you can arrange to have an outlet installed or if you have a strong enough generator (4,500+ running watts) OR if you are using our instant 230V dual cord device strongly consider getting the 230V version. If you can plug it in it is usually worth it. Because of their raw power our 230V units are very popular among professional users. See the 230V Rino page for more information.
The 230 Volt version is truly an amazing commercial vapor steam cleaner. With almost three times the overall vapor steam output than the 120 Volt version, the 230V, 145 PSI Vapor system is sure to impress. If you have ever worked with an all electric 120 volt vapor steam cleaner of ANY brand one of the first things you notice is that the pressure drops quickly during use. There is no way a 120 volt, all electric, vapor steam cleaner can keep up with steam production like a 230 volt can. All 120V, all electric vapor steam cleaners on the market drop down in pressure during use. That doesn't mean they are not good machines, it simply means they just dont have the same staying power. This is normal for a 120V system. The all electric 230V generates about 3x the steam and can maintain from 80 to 110 PSI during normal use use and has a very fast recovery rate.
That being said, as a contractor, I personally used a 120 volt vapor steam cleaner for years with great success. My first unit ever was the VC 4000-S commercial steam cleaner. Similar, yet smaller than our 4000-C system. It had 65 PSI and 1600 watts with a single tank. I loved it. The Vapor Rino VR145, VC 5000-Ci and our other 120 Volt systems are light years ahead of my beloved first steamer. Now that I have tasted the quality and power of a Vapor Rino, there is no going back to my old 65 PSI unit. At either 120V or 230V, the 145 PSI, chemical injected Vapor Rino's are fantastic, high quality machines.
Quick Definition: My location has 220V not 230V, what do I do?
Great question. In the USA, there is a common voltage range that all means basically the same thing. Devices made for 220V are good plugged into 220V. 230V or 240 Volt outlets. Its a lot like our standard household voltage most commonly called 120 Volts. This class typically ranges from 110 volts to 120+ volts. So, if you have access to, or can get access to a 240V outlet, 230V outlet or a 220V power source, no worries, you are good to go.
PROS & CONS
120 Volt Systems:
• Warm up time is only about 15 minutes. • Recovery time is about 4 minutes. You can plug a 120 Volt Vapor Rino into any standard American outlet. So, if you're at your mom's house or at the office, no worries. Just plug it in, warm it up and get to work. There is no doubt that the 120 volt version is very convenient. Warm up time from ice cold to ready is about 15 minutes. The 120 Volt version will produce the same peek 145 PSI pressure as the 230 Volt version but it will not maintain as much steam or recover as fast during use. Recovery time on the 120V is about 4 minutes. Other then the power and steam generation difference, the machines have the same basic features, come with the same accessories (except for hose length), and are the same size and shape.
PROS & CONS
230 Volt Systems:
• Warm up time is only about 5 minutes!!! The 120v takes 15 min. The 230Volt Rino maintains around 80 to 100 PSI even after 5 minutes of normal use! Let go of the trigger and about 30 to 60 seconds later you have full recovery to 145 PSI • Recovery time is only about 30 to 60 seconds!! That is about 8 times the recovery rate of the 120 Volt system. The 230V system can handle a LONGER STEAM HOSE up to 26 feet long INCLUDED. There are really no cons to the 230 except one. So let's address that now. The only down side to a 230 Volt Version of the Vapor Rino Commercial Vapor Steam Cleaner is that you have to have access to a 230 Volt outlet. It's that simple. You can use a generator (see generator section) or your shops 230 volt outlet. You can also have an outlet installed at your location. Having an electrician install a single outlet is usually very inexpensive. You may also consider our instant 230Volt device shown here.
See our generator info in the FAQ or Common Questions section of this page for more on picking a generator. Do Not use a under powered generator . Make sure you pick the right size and it has the right outlet.
230 Volt PROS: Power, More Power and did we mention power? Oh yeah, and a maximum hose length of 26 feet! Yep, it is a simple choice if you have the ability to use it. 230 Volts is simply the best option if you want maximum steam generation power. Also, the heat up time from cold to hot is only about 5 to 6 minutes rather than 15 minutes, recovery rate is 30 to 60 seconds as opposed to 4 minutes with the 120 volt Vapor Rino. As you can see from those numbers, we are talking about at least 3 times the steam generation capabilities.
Both units are great. For me, I like the 120 Volt version just because I can use it anywhere, anytime, running off of an everyday outlet. If I were in the mobile detail business, a cleaning contractor with a lot of jobs lined up or a carwash expecting to do a lot of work I would probably get the 230 Volt Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner. It all depends upon my access to a 230 volt power source and how fast I need to get the job done.
The choice is yours, both are cutting edge industry leading systems. The good news, unlike most systems on the market we give you a choice! Choice is power. Thanks for reading. Work Hard, Live Free!

- Can I use a Generator?
- --- YES you can! In fact, with the help of a generator, you can go 100% mobile. These steam systems are all electric, full commercial & industrial grade and require no fuel. All you need is a power source be it a wall outlet or a generator. Our 120V version works on a standard household outlet. Same kind you find all over your home if you are in the US.

* VC 4000-C, 72 PSI, 120V = Minimum 3000+ Watts continuous running watt
. . . . . . (running only 4000-c )
NOTE: If you are going to use the Vapor Rino WITHOUT a vacuum or WITHOUT ANY other devices you may work with smaller generator sizes. MINIMUM sizes with NOTHING Else plugged in are as follows. 120V used alone can run on a 4,000-running watt generator. Bigger is always better. The 230Volt Rino can be run on as little as a 5000-running watt generator. Bigger is better. NOTE: “Running watts” are not the same as “Peek” or “Surge wattage”.
READ BELOW TO CLARIFY THIS. VERY IMPORTANT POINT…
Many generators are advertised with their surge power capacity shown in big numbers on the box. These surge powers are only sustainable for very short bursts. You want to know what the actual nonstop RUNNING watts are. The running watts are always lower than the peek surge watts.
IMPORTANT EXAMPLE:
When buying a generator, you might see the box say something like "8000 Watts with 6000 Watts running power". Always look for the lower running / continuous wattage output number. Do not accept the first number you read when buying a generator. Read closer. Running any electronic device on an under powered generator will damage the circuitry! Get the right generator and you are good to go.
IPORTANT NOTE:
When picking a generator for our 230V system (ignore the following if you are getting a 120V steamer) we recommend getting one that has the 240-volt outlet in the form of a 4-prong twist lock. This outlet number type is a NEMA “L14-30”. There is an adaptor available on Amazon that works great with the Vapor Rino. This plug takes the 4 prong L14-30 and reduces it down to a 3 prong 6-20/15R. These 6-15 three prong adaptors match the plug on the 230V Vapor Rino. If you are buying a 120V system, you can ignore this information. You can find a link to the Amazon page on the specifications tab on the 230V Vapor Rino page.
Why these “high” running watts?
Several reasons. Fist, this gives you some room for error and offers more protection to your steam cleaner investment. Example: If you had a 2000 W generator running an 1800W machine that generator would be running at almost 100% capacity all the time. The generator will run hard and hot, make more noise, wear out much faster and risk sending electrical spikes and surges into your new commercial steam cleaner. This may damage the system electronics. This kind of DAMAGE can be repaired but it IS NOT UNDER WARANTY. Also, if someone unknowingly plugs something else into your generator the higher wattage gives you a safety margin protecting both your machines and your generator. Remember, an over taxed generator WILL burn out fast and damage electronics. Our warranty does not cover damage created by a generator or improper use. Always use appropriate, well tested power source. This is not a corner to cut.
- Can I Get a 230V Steam Cleaner?
- Yes, on some systems like our 145psi Vapor Rino. See our products page for more info. Our 230V versions are amazing boasting recovery times of as little as 20 to 30 seconds. They hold around 90 PSI during extended nonstop use and bounce back to 145 PSI very quickly! More steam = more power = faster cleaning times. We now have a converter that gives you INSTANT 230 Volts from two household outlets. See menu for converter.
- What is the PSI or BARS of pressure it produces?
- 1) PSI: Stands for POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH, its a measurement of pressure.
2) BARS: Is the European systems to measure pressure. Each BAR is = to 14.5 PSI. Example, 10 Bars = 145 PSI.
3) Most of our units come with gauges that show both PSI and Bars
We offer various units for sale. Our large VR145 Vapor Rino commercial vapor steam cleaner produces 145 PSI (10 bars) Maximum pressure. America's most powerful 120Volt all electric, chemical injected vapor steam cleaner as of 2015! We have other systems that are 5.5 bars or 80 PSI. Check individual product pages for specific specifications for each product or give us a call!
- What does GPH or GPM mean?
* GPH Stands for Gallons Per HOUR of water used.
* GPM Stand for Gallons Per MINUTE of water used.

Great question. In the USA, there is a common voltage range that all means basically the same thing. Vapor Rino 230V can plug into outlets that range from 210V, 220V, 230V, 240 and even max 250 Volt outlets. Its a lot like standard household voltage most commonly called 120 Volts. This class typically ranges from 110 volts to 120+ volts. So, if you have access to, or can get access to a 240V outlet, 230V outlet or a 220V power source, no worries, you are good to go.

Be it a exterior carwash, interior detailing, cleaning sticky gunk out of cup holders, around seat bolts, door jams or cleaning tires and engines. The Vapor Rino 145 PSI Chemical Injected high powered commercial vapor steam cleaner.
- TILE & GROUT: Is this a good system for cleaning Tile & Grout?
- Absolutely! The Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner is an excellent TILE and GROUT cleaner. In most instances it does an amazing job clearing floor grout and mopping all kinds of hard surface floors. The Vapor Rino is a great all around cleaning service vapor steam cleaner.
Years ago I ran a bathroom renewal company. One of our services was cleaning residential and commercial floor grout. Using the grout brush and the extension poles (included) we would work the grout lines and in most cases, the floor was restored to close to new. For smaller jobs we charged by the job but in most cases we charged by the square foot. Back when I was doing it we were charging $2 a square foot. You will have to call around and get an idea on price in your local market.

- Can I use a Generator?
- --- YES you can! In fact, with the help of a generator, you can go 100% mobile. These steam systems are all electric, full commercial & industrial grade and require no fuel. All you need is a power source be it a wall outlet or a generator. Our 120V version works on a standard household outlet. Same kind you find all over your home if you are in the US.

* VC 4000-C, 72 PSI, 120V = Minimum 3,000+ Watts continuous running watt
. . . . . . (running only 4000-c )
NOTE: If you are going to use the Vapor Rino WITHOUT a vacuum or WITHOUT ANY other devices you may work with smaller generator sizes. MINIMUM sizes with NOTHING Else plugged in are as follows. 120V used alone can run on a 4,000-running watt generator. Bigger is always better. The 230Volt Rino can be run on as little as a 5000-running watt generator. Bigger is better. NOTE: “Running watts” are not the same as “Peek” or “Surge wattage”.
READ BELOW TO CLARIFY THIS. VERY IMPORTANT POINT…
Many generators are advertised with their surge power capacity shown in big numbers on the box. These surge powers are only sustainable for very short bursts. You want to know what the actual nonstop RUNNING watts are. The running watts are always lower than the peek surge watts.
IMPORTANT EXAMPLE:
When buying a generator, you might see the box say something like "8000 Watts with 6000 Watts running power". Always look for the lower running / continuous wattage output number. Do not accept the first number you read when buying a generator. Read closer. Running any electronic device on an under powered generator will damage the circuitry! Get the right generator and you are good to go.
IPORTANT NOTE:
When picking a generator for our 230V system (ignore the following if you are getting a 120V steamer) we recommend getting one that has the 240-volt outlet in the form of a 4-prong twist lock. This outlet number type is a NEMA “L14-30”. There is an adaptor available on Amazon that works great with the Vapor Rino. This plug takes the 4 prong L14-30 and reduces it down to a 3 prong 6-20/15R. These 6-15 three prong adaptors match the plug on the 230V Vapor Rino. If you are buying a 120V system, you can ignore this information. You can find a link to the Amazon page on the specifications tab on the 230V Vapor Rino page.
Why these “high” running watts?
Several reasons. Fist, this gives you some room for error and offers more protection to your steam cleaner investment. Example: If you had a 2000 W generator running an 1800W machine that generator would be running at almost 100% capacity all the time. The generator will run hard and hot, make more noise, wear out much faster and risk sending electrical spikes and surges into your new commercial steam cleaner. This may damage the system electronics. This kind of DAMAGE can be repaired but it IS NOT UNDER WARANTY. Also, if someone unknowingly plugs something else into your generator the higher wattage gives you a safety margin protecting both your machines and your generator. Remember, an over taxed generator WILL burn out fast and damage electronics. Our warranty does not cover damage created by a generator or improper use. Always use appropriate, well tested power source. This is not a corner to cut.
- Can I Get a 230V Steam Cleaner?
- Yes, on some systems like our 145psi Vapor Rino. See our products page for more info. Our 230V versions are amazing boasting recovery times of as little as 20 to 30 seconds. They hold around 90 PSI during extended nonstop use and bounce back to 145 PSI very quickly! More steam = more power = faster cleaning times. We now have a converter that gives you INSTANT 230 Volts from two household outlets. See menu for converter.
- What is the PSI or BARS of pressure it produces?
- 1) PSI: Stands for POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH, its a measurement of pressure.
2) BARS: Is the European systems to measure pressure. Each BAR is = to 14.5 PSI. Example, 10 Bars = 145 PSI.
3) Most of our units come with gauges that show both PSI and Bars
We offer various units for sale. Our large VR145 Vapor Rino commercial vapor steam cleaner produces 145 PSI (10 bars) Maximum pressure. America's most powerful 120Volt all electric, chemical injected vapor steam cleaner as of 2015! We have other systems that are 5.5 bars or 80 PSI. Check individual product pages for specific specifications for each product or give us a call!
- What does GPH or GPM mean?
* GPH Stands for Gallons Per HOUR of water used.
* GPM Stand for Gallons Per MINUTE of water used.
- 230 Volt or 120 Volt??? -- Help Me Choose Please - Some Points To Consider...
- Either choice is a winner! The Vapor Rino 145 is king in the both the 120 volt and 230 volt all electric dry vapor, commercial steam cleaner class. No matter which unit you get, you are getting the best of the best. Maximum PSI is exactly the same in both units. That said the units perform differently. The 230 V has over twice times the output of the 120V. We now have a converter available that lets you turn two 115V household outlets into 230 Volts instantly. See Instant 230 Volt Converter page.
The "Magic" Box: Let’s talk about this converter for a moment. All the power of a 230 volt Rino off of two 115 Volt Outlets??? Our unique light weight converter essentially allows you to run our 230V Vapor Rino's on standard house hold 115 or 120 Volt outlets! Amazing but true. By plugging into two independent outlets you can combine one 115V outlet to another 115V outlet and get 230 Volts instantly. Our systems make having and using a HIGH POWERED STEAMER Easy. Learn more about our 230V converter and how it works on the converter page. See products menu.
Shared Features: Both the 120V & the 230V have the same peek 145 PSI (10 Bars), and feature adjustable steam and chemical feed flow control. Both are the same size, weight, come with a 12 foot long hose & gun. One exception is the 230V version comes with an EXTRA LONG 26 foot main steam hose - awesome! They also have the same large 50 pc. accessory package. Sitting side by side you cannot tell one from the other. So what are the main differences? Let’s take a closer look...
120V = Maximum Portability. Though both VR commercial steam cleaners are the same size and weight, the 120V gives you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it. Why? Simply because you can plug it into any standard household outlet. Running at just under 15 amps, it will work in your home, office or anywhere you can find a working 120V outlet. This flexibility makes the 120V Vapor Rino a very popular choice of among our customers. There is no doubt, the 120V version is very popular. See the 120V page here
230V = More than twice as powerful! The added power of the 230V system means it can handle a LONGER HOSE up to 26 feet long. The 230 volt system heats up close to 3 times faster than the 120V and has about 8 times faster recovery rate of a 120V! More below. A simple rule of thumb is this: If you have or can get a place to plug the 230-volt in, strongly consider getting the 230-volt Vapor Rino Vapor commercial Steam cleaner System. If you can arrange to have an outlet installed or if you have a strong enough generator (6000+ running watts) OR if you want to use our instant 230V dual cord device strongly consider getting the 230V version. If you can plug it in it is fantastic. Because of their raw power our 230V units are very popular among professional users. See the 230V Rino page for more information.
The 230 Volt version is truly an amazing commercial vapor steam cleaner. Approaching three times the overall vapor steam cleaner output over the 120 Volt version, the 230V, 145 PSI Vapor system is sure to impress. If you have ever worked with an all-electric 120 volt vapor steam cleaner of ANY brand one of the first things you notice is that the pressure drops quickly during use. There is no way a 120 volt, all electric, vapor steam cleaner can keep up with steam production like a 230 volt can. It just can’t happen All 120V, all electric vapor steam cleaners on the market drop down in pressure during use. That doesn't mean they are not good machines, it simply means they just don’t have the same staying power. This is normal for any all electric 120V system. The all electric 230V generates more than TWICE the steam and can maintain approximately 100 PSI during normal use!
That being said, as a contractor, I personally used a 120 volt vapor steam cleaner for years with great success. My first unit ever was the VC 4000-S commercial steam cleaner. Similar, yet smaller than our 4000-C system. It had 65 PSI and 1600 watts with a single tank. I loved it. The Vapor Rino VR145, VC 5000-Ci and our other 120 Volt systems are light years ahead of my beloved first steamer. Now that I have tasted the quality and power of a Vapor Rino, there is no going back to my old 65 PSI unit. At either 120V or 230V, the 145 PSI, chemical injected Vapor Rino's are fantastic, high quality machines.
Quick Definition: I have 220V not 230V, what do I do?
Great question. In the USA, there is a common voltage range that all means basically the same thing. Vapor Rino 230V can plug into outlets that range from 210V, 220V, 230V, 240 and even max 250 Volt outlets. Its a lot like standard household voltage most commonly called 120 Volts. This class typically ranges from 110 volts to 120+ volts. So, if you have access to, or can get access to a 240V outlet, 230V outlet or a 220V power source, no worries, you are good to go.
PROS & CONS
120 Volt Systems:
• Warm up time is only about 15 minutes. • Recovery time is about 4 minutes. You can plug a 120 Volt Vapor Rino into any standard American outlet. So, if you're at your mom's house or at the office, no worries. Just plug it in, warm it up and get to work. There is no doubt that the 120 volt version is very convenient. Warm up time from ice cold to ready is about 15 minutes. The 120 Volt version will produce the same peek 145 PSI pressure as the 230 Volt version but it will not maintain as much steam or recover as fast. Recovery time on the 120V is about 4 minutes. Other than the power and steam generation difference, the machines have the same basic features, come with the same accessories, and are the same size and shape.
PROS & CONS
230 Volt Systems:
• The 230 Volt 145 PSI Vapor Rino’s Warm up time is only about 5 minutes from ice cold!!! The 120v takes 15 min. The 230Volt Rino maintains around 90 to 100 PSI even after 5 minutes of wide open, heavy steaming! Let go of the trigger and about 30 to 60 seconds later you have full recovery to 145 PSI • Recovery time is super-fast, about 8 times the recovery rate of the 120 Volt system. The 230V system can handle (and comes with) a LONGER STEAM HOSE up to 26 feet long. There are really no cons to the 230 except one. So let's address that now. The only down side to a 230 Volt Version of the Vapor Rino Commercial Vapor Steam Cleaner is that you have to have access to a 230 Volt outlet. It's that simple. You can use a generator (see generator section) or your shops 230 volt outlet. You can also have an outlet installed at your location. Having an electrician install a single outlet is usually very inexpensive. You may also consider our instant 230Volt in home converter. See products page.
See our generator info in the FAQ or Common Questions section of this page for more on picking a generator. Do Not use a underpowered generator. Make sure you pick the right size and it has the right outlet.
230 Volt PROS: Power, More Power and did we mention power? Oh yeah, and a maximum hose length of 26 feet! Yep, it is a simple choice if you have the ability to use it. 230 Volts is simply the best option if you want maximum steam generation power. Also, the heat up time from cold to hot is only about 5 minutes rather than 15 minutes, recovery rate is 30 to 60 seconds as opposed to 4 minutes with the 120 volt Vapor Rino. As you can see from those numbers, we are talking about at least 3 times the steam generation capabilities.
Both units are great. For me, I like the 120 Volt version just because I can use it anywhere, anytime, running off of an everyday outlet. If I were in the mobile detail business, a cleaning contractor with a lot of jobs lined up or a carwash expecting to do a lot of work I would probably get the 230 Volt Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner. It all depends upon my access to a 230 volt power source and how fast I need to get the job done.
The choice is yours, both are cutting edge industry leading systems. The good news, unlike most systems on the market we give you a choice! Choice is power. Thanks for reading. Work Hard, Live Free!
- Dry CAR WASH & AUTO DETAILING -- is this a good machine for this?
- MOBILE DRY CAR WASH & AUTO DETAILING = YES!
Absolutely! The Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner is perfect for this kind of work! The mobile dry carwash industry is becoming very popular as more and more cities impose water restrictions. From its high power to its fully adjustable chemical and hot water injection system this machine is fantastic for this industry.
Purchase a 230 Volt version and provide you and your customers a faster service. The 230 Volt version generates about three times as much steam per minute then the 120 Volt version. This means you can clean faster than ever before.
The steam flow is 100% adjustable! This means you can easily lower the steam flow for delicate interior automotive detail work. Be it a exterior carwash, interior detailing, cleaning sticky gunk out of cup holders, around seat bolts, door jams or cleaning tires and engines. The Vapor Rino 145 PSI Chemical Injected high powered commercial vapor steam cleaner.
- TILE & GROUT: Is this a good system for cleaning Tile & Grout?
- Absolutely! The Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner is an excellent TILE and GROUT cleaner. In most instances it does an amazing job clearing floor grout and mopping all kinds of hard surface floors. The Vapor Rino is a great all around cleaning service vapor steam cleaner.
Years ago I ran a bathroom renewal company. One of our services was cleaning residential and commercial floor grout. Using the grout brush and the extension poles (included) we would work the grout lines and in most cases, the floor was restored to close to new. For smaller jobs we charged by the job but in most cases we charged by the square foot. Back when I was doing it we were charging $2 a square foot. You will have to call around and get an idea on price in your local market.
The Vapor Rino, or one of our other commercial dry vapor steam cleaners do a fantastic job cleaning floor grout. This is a great service you can offer to your existing clients. What? You are an auto detailer,, how can you offer grout cleaning? Just make a brochure or flier and hand it to your customers. You will be surprised at how many people have tile floors that need updating. Good money, easy work and its a fast and easy to boost your income. While you're at it, you can clean your own tile and grout at home :)
Unlike the expensive truck mount tile and grout cleaning machines a Vapor Rino costs less and is MUCH more flexible. Try running a truck mount hose up to the 4th floor of a home or building. It's just not going to happen. On the other hand, you can take one of Vapor Rino's commercial vapor steam cleaners anywhere. 40th floor? no problem. Just bring it up and plug it in. 100% portable and effective!

Common Questions
120 Volt or 230 Volt?
Please help me decide
See "pros & cons" below
Either choice is a winner! The Vapor Rino 145 is king in the both the 120 volt and 230 volt all electric dry vapor, commercial steam cleaner class. No matter which unit you get, you are getting the best of the best. Maximum PSI is exactly the same in both units. That said the units perform differently. The 230-Volt has more than TWICE the output of the 120V. The 230 volt is also designed to handle a HUGE 26 foot long main steam hose NOW INCLUDED FREE! The 120 volt is only designed to work with the standard 12 foot hose. We now have a converter available that lets you turn two 115V household outlets into 230 Volts instantly. See Instant 230 Volt Converter here. Of course you can install a 230v outlet at your location or just simply use a generator and go 100% Mobile!.
The "Magic" Box: Lets talk about this converter for a moment. All the power of a 230 volt Rino off of two 115 Volt Outlets??? Our unique light weight converter essentially allows you to run our 230V Vapor Rino's on standard house hold 115 or 120 Volt outlets! Amazing but true. By plugging into two independent outlets you can combine one 115V outlet to another 115V outlet and get 230 Volts instantly. Our converters make having and using a HIGH POWERED STEAMER Easy. Learn more about our 230V converter here.
Shared Features: Both the 120V & the 230V have the same peek 145 PSI (10 Bars), and feature adjustable steam and chemical feed flow control. Both are the same size, weight, have the same hose & gun. They also have the same large accessory package. Sitting side by side you can not tell one from the other. So what are the main differences? Lets take a closer look...
120V = Maximum Portability. Though both VR commercial steam cleaners are the same size and weight, the 120V gives you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it. Why? Simply because you can plug it into any standard household outlet. Running at just under 15 amps, it will work in your home, office or anywhere you can find a working 120V outlet. This flexibility makes the 120V Vapor Rino a very popular choice of among our customers. There is no doubt, the 120V version is very popular. See the 120V page here
230V = 3 Times the power! The added power of the 230V system means it can handle a LONGER HOSE up to 26 feet long. The 230 volt system heats up time 3 times faster then the 120 Volt and it has about 8 times the recovery rate of a 120V! More below. A simple rule of thumb is this: If you have or can get a place to plug it in, I would get a 230V Vapor Rino Vapor Steam System any day. If you can arrange to have an outlet installed or if you have a strong enough generator (4500+ running watts) OR if you are using our instant 230V dual cord device strongly consider getting the 230V version. If you can plug it in it is usually worth it. Because of their raw power our 230V units are very popular among professional users. See the 230V Rino page for more information.
The 230 Volt version is truly an amazing commercial vapor steam cleaner. With almost three times the overall vapor steam output than the 120 Volt version, the 230V, 145 PSI Vapor system is sure to impress. If you have ever worked with an all electric 120 volt vapor steam cleaner of ANY brand one of the first things you notice is that the pressure drops quickly during use. There is no way a 120 volt, all electric, vapor steam cleaner can keep up with steam production like a 230 volt can. All 120V, all electric vapor steam cleaners on the market drop down in pressure during use. That doesn't mean they are not good machines, it simply means they just dont have the same staying power. This is normal for a 120V system. The all electric 230V generates about 3x the steam and can maintain from 80 to 100 PSI during normal use use and has a very fast recovery rate.
That being said, as a contractor, I personally used a 120 volt vapor steam cleaner for years with great success. My first unit ever was the VC 4000-S commercial steam cleaner. Similar, yet smaller than our 4000-C system. It had 65 PSI and 1600 watts with a single tank. I loved it. The Vapor Rino VR145, VC 5000-Ci and our other 120 Volt systems are light years ahead of my beloved first steamer. Now that I have tasted the quality and power of a Vapor Rino, there is no going back to my old 65 PSI unit. At either 120V or 230V, the 145 PSI, chemical injected Vapor Rino's are fantastic, high quality machines.
Quick Definition: My location has 220V not 230V, what do I do?
Great question. In the USA, there is a common voltage range that all means basically the same thing. Devices made for 220V are good plugged into 220V. 230V or 240 Volt outlets. Its a lot like our standard household voltage most commonly called 120 Volts. This class typically ranges from 110 volts to 120+ volts. So, if you have access to, or can get access to a 240V outlet, 230V outlet or a 220V power source, no worries, you are good to go.
PROS & CONS
120 Volt Systems:
• Warm up time is only about 15 minutes. • Recovery time is about 4 minutes. You can plug a 120 Volt Vapor Rino into any standard American outlet. So, if you're at your mom's house or at the office, no worries. Just plug it in, warm it up and get to work. There is no doubt that the 120 volt version is very convenient. Warm up time from ice cold to ready is about 15 minutes. The 120 Volt version will produce the same peek 145 PSI pressure as the 230 Volt version but it will not maintain as much steam or recover as fast during use. Recovery time on the 120V is about 4 minutes. Other then the power and steam generation difference, the machines have the same basic features, come with the same accessories (except for hose length), and are the same size and shape.
PROS & CONS
230 Volt Systems:
• Warm up time is only about 5 minutes!!! The 120v takes 15 min. The 230Volt Rino maintains around 80 to 100 PSI even after 5 minutes of normal use! Let go of the trigger and about 30 to 60 seconds later you have full recovery to 145 PSI • Recovery time is only about 30 to 60 seconds!! That is about 8 times the recovery rate of the 120 Volt system. The 230V system can handle a LONGER STEAM HOSE up to 26 feet long INCLUDED. There are really no cons to the 230 except one. So let's address that now. The only down side to a 230 Volt Version of the Vapor Rino Commercial Vapor Steam Cleaner is that you have to have access to a 230 Volt outlet. It's that simple. You can use a generator (see generator section) or your shops 230 volt outlet. You can also have an outlet installed at your location. Having an electrician install a single outlet is usually very inexpensive. You may also consider our instant 230Volt device shown here.
See our generator info in the FAQ or Common Questions section of this page for more on picking a generator. Do Not use a under powered generator . Make sure you pick the right size and it has the right outlet.
230 Volt PROS: Power, More Power and did we mention power? Oh yeah, and a maximum hose length of 26 feet! Yep, it is a simple choice if you have the ability to use it. 230 Volts is simply the best option if you want maximum steam generation power. Also, the heat up time from cold to hot is only about 5 to 6 minutes rather than 15 minutes, recovery rate is 30 to 60 seconds as opposed to 4 minutes with the 120 volt Vapor Rino. As you can see from those numbers, we are talking about at least 3 times the steam generation capabilities.
Both units are great. For me, I like the 120 Volt version just because I can use it anywhere, anytime, running off of an everyday outlet. If I were in the mobile detail business, a cleaning contractor with a lot of jobs lined up or a carwash expecting to do a lot of work I would probably get the 230 Volt Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner. It all depends upon my access to a 230 volt power source and how fast I need to get the job done.
The choice is yours, both are cutting edge industry leading systems. The good news, unlike most systems on the market we give you a choice! Choice is power. Thanks for reading. Work Hard, Live Free!

About The Vapor Rino 145:
Thank you very much for visiting. We are so excited about the Vapor Rino. Though I know I should keep this all positive, the phrase 'it's about time keeps coming to mind. Seriously, this has been decades in the 'wanting'. Finally, a true commercial quality steam cleaner with a real heavy duty feel that offers truly high maximum PSI. We have never seen an all electric, 120 volt / 15 amp portable vapor steam cleaner with 10 bars of pressure (that means 145 PSI) with chemical injection sold in the US or Canada and we have been in this business for a long time. We are told that this is the most powerful commercial vapor steam cleaner ever built for production in a 120 volt 15 amp version anywhere as of 2014. This power house can run off of a standard household outlet! That means anywhere you have power in the US, you can run this machine! So you can easily plug it anywhere! Whether it be at mom's house, the office, a job site or washing cars in the middle of a parking lot using a generator, the Vapor Rino has you covered! This new Vapor Rino is truly Canada & America's Most Powerful all electric, chemically injected, 120V, 15A commercial vapor steam cleaner you can buy anywhere in the US or Canada for any price as of right now!
Overview: Before I go on, let me summarize the primary features. Maximum pressure of 145 PSI (10 Bars), 120 Volts, 1750 Watts / 15 Amps (also see the 240 Volt Version Here) 95% dry vapor steam output PLUS a hot chemical / hot water injection system WITH adjustable solution flow control. The Vapor Rino Commercial steam cleaner also has a 100% adjustable steam flow, built in cart, accessories basket, hangers, locking rubberized 5" wheels, and the largest and most commercial steam cleaner accessory kit we have ever seen. Don't forget the detachable / replaceable extra long steam hose and hangers for your hose cord or squirt bottles.
Update: also now including an extra chemical injection bottle. This allows you to swap between your favorite chemicals or simple water for the injections system in seconds! Update: also now including horse hair brushes! These fine soft bristles are great on upholstery, leather, hard surfaces, painted surfaces and much more. All in all the Vapor Rino VR145 Commercial Steam Cleaner is simply an amazing vapor cleaning system. So let's break all this down. We will discuss these features below one by one.
Very Impressed: I have one of these beautiful Vapor Rino systems sitting next to me right now as I write this and I have to say,,, wow! Solid looking, solid feeling right out of the box and what a great head of steam! I can't wait to get my hands on a 240 volt version we have in production. Either way, this is now my favorite vapor steam cleaner of all time. There is no doubt in my mind if I were back in my contracting days what machine I would purchase. In 20 years of working with and dealing with commercial vapor steam cleaners I have never been this impressed.
Size and Weight: So let's talk a bit about our industrial quality commercial vapor steam cleaner, the Vapor Rino. First, it weighs in at right around 49 lbs with water. That weight does not include accessories. With handle it stands about 36" with a low width profile of only about 16". This low profile means it's easy to roll through doorways, move around your building and easy to store.
Integrated Cart: The Vapor Rino Commercial Steam Cleaner has an integrated cart with an easy to remove and replace handle system. The handle attaches solidly with NO tools and the chemical and water reservoirs detach by simply unplugging them from the side of the machine and lifting them out. This removable handle might be useful for the contractor that needs to fit the machine into a tight space like the back seat or trunk of a car. The plugs are color coded and labeled so it's a piece of cake to be sure you are connecting everything exactly right. The cart also features a basket for your accessories, cleaning products, rags, or your lunch! The stainless steel rack also features two hooks, one on each side. These are perfect for hanging your steam hose and cord when not in use. These hooks are also great for hanging squirt bottles or hanging a rag between uses. A perfect setup for the mobile carwash, mobile automotive detailer, cleaning contractor or janitorial service. All you do is put on the wheels, fill it, plug in and get to work!
Hot Chemical Injection: The Vapor Rino heavy commercial steam cleaner comes with a powerful hot detergent injection system that is activated right from the gun. The detergent goes into one of the two jugs on the top of the unit. See pictures. This bottle can be filled with your favorite cleaning solution. Cleaning products like grease busting Dawn or Ajax liquid dish soap mixed with water. Detergents purchased from the hardware store. Just nothing flammable, corrosive or explosive. You can fill the chemical jug with Windex, detergent, bubble gum remover, sanitizing agents or degreasers. Apply hot wax to cars! Add a Zip Wax solution or other wash and wax or automotive carwash solutions and instantly you have a hot wash and wax carwash system! Of course, this same principle goes for many other cleaning products. Steam is great, but steam and detergent is the ultimate grease fighting combination. Perfect for commercial kitchen cleaning, restrooms, dorms, restaurants, bars and much more, sanitation and even bedbug control.
Hot Water Injection: Simply fill the chemical jug with ordinary water and you now have a hot
water injected commercial steam cleaner. This a is powerful feature used in many industries.
Car washing, detailing, bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning, grout cleaning, pest control and
so many more. Note: Only Vapor Rino gives you a SECOND chemical jug in your kit at NO EXTRA
CHARGE. With two or more chemical injection containers you can quickly switch between various
cleaning solutions in a matter of seconds. You can keep one jug filled with water for hot water injection and swap it out anytime for your favorite cleaning fluid. Order more jugs and you can have a large assortment of cleaning solutions in your truck ready to use at a moment's notice!
Total Control: The hot detergent / hot water injection system is totally controllable! That's right, FINALLY,, a vapor cleaner with a flow control on the injection side. No more wasted soap! You can turn the knob on the front of the Vapor Rino commercial steam cleaner easily adjusting how much soap or water gets mingled with your steam output. If you want a super rich soap solution crank it up. Want just a little bit of soap in your steam flow, turn it down. Totally adjustable. Control is power! No more wasted detergent and no more over wetting a surface or putting out too much cleaning solution. YOU decide how much comes out! By the way, did you catch that you can activate the injection system with a flick of your thumb right from the steam gun? Gone are the days of climbing out of a car or work spot, walking across the room just to turn on the injector on the machine. Now it's activated from the steam gun on demand when you need it. If you can move your thumb, you can activate the injector. Nice!
Like control? Well who doesn't, right? With Vapor Rino you also get to have 100% control over your steam flow output! Want maximum steam output, crank the dial up all the way. Want a slower flow, lower it. From off to 100%, YOU DECIDE!
Locking Coated Heavy Duty Wheels: I was surprised by the wheels. That's right, the quality actually extends all the way down to the wheels! First of all, they are clearly heavy duty. This is not some cheap Chinese add on part. This is first world workmanship! The wheels are dual layer with a solid core. NO FLAT TIRES! The outside of the wheels are coated with a chemical resistant soft rubberized coating. Makes for smooth movement across tile, asphalt and even rugs. The wheels both front and back are 5" tall insuring easy rolling over reasonably rough surfaces. The rear wheels are mounted on a heavy duty C frame stainless steel bracket. See pictures. This is truly rock solid craftsmanship.
The Front Wheels: The front wheels have a heavy duty set of castors. Now when I think castors, I often think of the little plastic ones found on other steam cleaners on the market. This is not the case here. These are heavy steel and very rugged smooth rolling and smooth spinning wheels and castors. See pictures. The front wheels feature a sure grip foot lock system. Both of the wheels lock and when locked this baby is not going anywhere!
Side note about the wheels: I noticed the front wheels lock in any position but when they are angled back they not only lock the rolling action of the wheel but they also lock into a groove that prevents the castors from spinning as well! Either way you use them, this is true fine craftsmanship at its best.
The Pressure Gauge: The Vapor Rino 145 PSI Commercial Vapor Steam Cleaner also has a solid state analogue pressure gauge. This is not some cheap digital gauge, but rather the real deal. Industrial users want quality, and quality is what you get. The gauge reads in both European standard Bars and USA standard PSI. This is nice as many of the other systems out there only read Bars or only PSI. There is a set of heavy duty buttons on the front. One activates the power, the other activates the boiler.
Accessories: The unit comes with a large load of high quality accessories as well as a replaceable steam hose. The hose is about 11.5 feet and the power cord about just under 13.5 feet long. Of course you can use a heavy duty extension cord. In doing so, you can extend your reach anywhere.
Cooling Systems: Okay, there is one more really great feature to this unit that virtually all other systems on the market are missing. It has a built in cooling fan! Yep, it took two decades but finally someone has decided that the electronics should be cooled! Though electronic problems are not that frequent, there is little doubt that subjecting circuit boards, wires and connectors to such high heat day in and day out takes a toll. Now with the Vapor Rino 145 PSI heavy commercial vapor steam cleaner your electronics will be cooled! This ventilation rounds off this system as a true one of a kind professional vapor steam cleaner.
The bottom line is this: The PSI alone takes the day but all these other features make it an easy choice. Vapor Rino is sure to quickly become the new King of the Vapor Steam Cleaner Jungle! Two thumbs up and all the gold stars we can find go to this one of a kind precedent setting vapor system. Thank you Vapor Rino!
