SteamVac Max 220 Steam Cleaner With Sizzler Inline Heater
Why Buy From Us
The Max 220 with Sizzler adds continuous hot water at 90°C to the same Australian-made platform as the standard Max 220 — the upgrade for operators dealing with heavily soiled carpet, food service environments, or healthcare upholstery where hot water makes a measurable difference to results.
The SteamVac Max 220 with Sizzler Inline Heater is the hot water version of our best-selling Max 220 carpet extractor. Same marine-grade fibreglass body, same twin 1,200W motors, same 220 PSI diaphragm pump, same 35-litre tanks — with the addition of a 10 Amp continuous flow inline heating system that brings water to 90°C at the cleaning head.
Hot water at 90°C breaks down grease, oil, food contamination, and biological soiling significantly faster than cold water at the same pressure. For commercial carpet in food service environments, heavily trafficked hotel corridors, aged care facilities, and upholstery with embedded organic contamination, the heat makes a meaningful difference to both cleaning results and sanitisation performance that cold water extraction alone can't match.
At 37kg it's 7kg heavier than the standard Max 220 due to the heating unit. For operators whose work justifies hot water — the results justify the weight. For general carpet maintenance and residential work where cold water extracts well, the standard Max 220 at $3,199 is the more practical choice.

SteamVac Max 220 with Sizzler Inline Heater — Hot Water Carpet and Upholstery Extractor, Australian Made
The Sizzler Heating System
The Sizzler inline heater features a solid aluminium core with a separate heating coil and a 3,000 PSI stainless steel heating tube — built to handle the sustained heat and pressure cycling of daily commercial use without degrading. The 10 Amp continuous flow system maintains water temperature throughout the cleaning session rather than delivering a burst of hot water that cools as the job progresses. At 90°C at the cleaning head, it's operating at a temperature that kills common bacteria on contact and breaks down fat, grease, and protein contamination at a molecular level.
Max 220 with Sizzler vs Standard Max 220 — Which Do I Need?
The standard Max 220 ($3,199) is the correct choice for general carpet maintenance, residential carpet cleaning, commercial office carpet, and most hospitality turnover cleaning where cold water extraction performs well and cost is a factor.
The Max 220 with Sizzler ($3,700) is the correct choice when hot water makes a meaningful difference to your results — food service environments with grease and oil contamination, aged care and healthcare upholstery where sanitisation matters, heavily soiled commercial carpet in high-traffic venues, and any application where embedded organic contamination doesn't fully lift with cold water. The $501 price difference pays for itself quickly if hot water extraction improves your results and reduces re-cleaning on difficult jobs.
