10 Nov Mytee 8070 vs HP90 Stingray: Which Heated Extractor for Mobile Detailing?
The Mytee 8070 and HP90 Stingray clean the same way: both have a 120 PSI pump and a vacuum with 130 inches of water lift and 100 CFM. The 8070 is lighter (45 pounds) with 4 gallon tanks and a 1,000 watt heater. The HP90 is heavier (65 pounds) with 5 gallon tanks and a 1,200 watt heater that reaches 210°F. Choose the 8070 for portability, the HP90 for volume and heat.
These are the two Mytee extractors mobile detailers ask about most. On paper they look close. In a van, the differences matter.

Where they are the same
Same pump. Same vacuum motor. Same hose and the same upholstery tool. On a single car, you will spray and recover the same way with either one.
Where they differ
Weight. Twenty pounds is the biggest real difference. If you lift the machine in and out of a van several times a day, you will feel it by Friday.
Capacity. One extra gallon on each side means fewer stops to refill and dump on a heavy day.
Heat. The HP90’s 1,200 watt heater reaches 210°F. Hotter solution breaks down body oils, spills, and old stains faster, which matters on neglected interiors.
Power. Both run everything on one cord. The 8070 runs from a standard 20 amp circuit. The HP90 needs a dedicated 20 amp circuit, and a standard 15 amp household outlet will not support it. At a customer’s home, that can decide which outlet you use, or whether you need your own power source.
Which one to choose
Choose the 8070 Mytee Lite if you do one to three interiors a day, lift the machine often, work in tight spaces, or want the most flexible power setup.
Choose the HP90 Stingray if you do four or more interiors a day, take on heavily soiled vehicles, want the hottest solution in a mobile-sized machine, and have reliable access to a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
