Therma Kleen Vapor Steamer
The premier steam machine for Auto Detailing now has a new name!
The Vapor Chief!

New Milford, NJ., April 10, 2008 - You may have already seen this great machine on our website and seen our exclusive video of this powerful steamer in action. The Vapor Chief is a steam machine like no other. There is NO comparison. We have seen other companies try to compare their most powerful 100 volt units to this, and they just can’t compete to the Vapor Chief. We also have seen people try to compare propane steamers that are operated by a 12 volt battery to the Vapor Chief, but there is still no comparison. The propane operated steamers may have similar specifications but they are much bigger and bulkier. They do not run on 100 volt electricity. They weigh much more and are not really portable. And they are still more expensive. The Vapor Chief wins on all counts.

If you have not seen our great steam machine before, please read on…...
Finally a 110 volt vapor steam machine that performs like 220 volt or propane! This is THE MOST powerful steamer you can buy that runs on 110 volts….and is made in the USA! A 340 degree operating temperature at 100PSI which is the highest in the industry!

Need a better steamer? Need it to run all day long? Do you want better heat and temperature? Are you working in a drought area, or where washing a car the traditional way just can’t be done? Looking for a superior steam machine that will clean the inside of a vehicle to perfection, and also WASH the outside? READ ON

Not only will this machine make quick work of the interior of a vehicle…..This is THE ONLY 110 volt steam machine that can be used on the exterior of the vehicle. YES…you read this correctly…..this machine can be used on engines, wheels, and…..to wash the exterior of the car! This machine will run ALL DAY LONG!

And before we forget…This machine can be leased for 36 months! Call us for leasing details

We have used steam machines for years now and have sold a few different models with various levels of performance and customer satisfaction. We still believe one of the more popular steam machines out there is still a good unit, but NOT a heavy duty and true commercial grade machine for what a detailer really needs. Many of the issues and problems with steam machines is that they are not built as true commercial grade units. They are not made to run all day long as some detailers need them to. They are just not powerful enough for really tough jobs and cannot be used for long periods of time and still hold the pressure and heat to effectively clean a vehicle

We have been researching different steamer companies for many months in anticipation of being able to sell a detailer a truly commercial grade unit at a fairly low price. The problem is that the low price and true commercial grade are not interchangeable. We found many of the imported Italian steamers are "good" units and may be good for a percentage of vehicles and may hold up if not used for long periods of time every day. However, for extremely dirty vehicles, and for detail shops that need and demand a steam machine to run all day, every day, these machines just don’t cut it. Therefore, we chose to sell a TRUE, heavy duty commercial grade steam cleaner.

The Vapor Chief Steam machine will be the LAST and ONLY steamer you will ever buy. Here’s why…….

  • The Vaopr Chief steam cleaner is the ONLY steam machine made in the USA
  • This is a true, heavy duty, commercial grade steamer that can be used in ANY application
  • The entire casing is made from heavy duty stainless steel, NOT aluminum or plastic
  • Lifetime warranty on this heavy duty stainless steel boiler. The boiler alone on this machine weighs 8 pounds…..compared to about 2 pounds on most other “commercial” grade steamers.
  • This machine is the only machine with a huge 1.5 gallon capacity. This will keep you working for up to 5 hours
  • Incaloy heating element, which is known to do a better job at resisting corrosion than the more common copper or stainless heating elements
  • This heating element can be removed if it needs repair without discarding the boiler. This makes for an easier and cheaper repair if it’s ever needed.
  • Adjustable temperature range. Most steamers do not have adjustable temperature
  • A 340 degree operating temperature and a 100PSI which are both the highest in the industry
  • High, medium, and low pressure settings at the gun. Some machines do not have these settings and the ones that do are only controlled at the base of the unit.
  • An unheard of 14 foot hose length! The longest in the industry and you will not lose temperature or pressure. The previously mentioned temperatures and PSI are with a 14 foot heavy duty hose!
  • Beefy 5 inch wheels and heavy duty front legs make this unit easy to move around when desired and offer greater support
  • Heavy duty cart with removable handle included. Carts are an expensive option on most other machines
  • High quality, commercial grade accessories
  • Separate on/off switch at the gun as well as on the machine. This allows easy purging of excess steam for quicker cool down
  • Low water alarm that sounds when water level is low, not a light that goes on after you run out of water
  • Low water safety temperature and pressure cut off switch
  • A True 1 year warranty (which generally is never needed)
  • 3 steam settings. Low-medium and high. The medium setting at 70 PSI is more than most machines high setting. Low setting is about 30PSI and high is 100PSI
  • A special “dump” switch allows the user to de- pressurize the unit quickly so refilling can take place quickly
  • Every machine made by hand and hand welded with precision, not “stamped” out like many machines.
  • Every machine is “hard wired” meaning NO circuit boards to overheat which is a problem with many steam machines
  • Repair and set CD's are available
  • Service readily available in many wares…or we provide factory repair technicians via an 800 number to help diagnose and repair a problem without much down time
  • Protective insulating sleeve on the handle which will never get hot
  • Insulated hose that will not burn you
  • Run on the medium setting (the high setting is generally not needed) this steam machine will run continuously, without running out of pressure, and still maintain close to 300 degrees. NO other steam machine can so this.

Do not forget…..This machine can be used on the EXTERIOR as well. You can clean wheels, engines, door jambs…..And this is THE ONLY 100 Volt steam cleaner that can wash the exterior of a vehicle! It’s that powerful

Again, a 36 month lease plan is available. Please call us for details and pricing.
