Chief Steamer 125 PSI Versus The DuPray Hill Injection

DuPray makes excellent machines. You certainly cannot go wrong by purchasing ANY DuPray steamer. They are made by a very reputable Italian company and sold by a very reputable company here in the US. Here, we decided to compare our 125 machine to the Dupray hill injection as well. You may have seen our other comparison of the Chief 100 machine against the Hill Injection. We felt that was a fair comparison based on the overall sizes of the machines and overall performance. While Dupray had higher pressure vs our 100 machine, we still felt that we stacked up well in that comparison.

Here we feel we stack up even better, and although the machines look different, and are different in size, they are actually very similar in price. So we will take a look and you can decide

These machines look very different. The DuPray hill injection is smaller and uses a smaller boiler. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Small boilers heat fast and recover fast. But they also may drop pressure faster. We use a larger boiler in our 125 machine. We also use a larger injection tank. DuPray uses a small injection reservoir inside their unit. For most cleaning purposes, that is most likely a very good size. But for the car detail guys that need to wash a car with a water-less wash product, then having the much larger 5 liter injection tank will be very helpful. And in some commercial cleaning application, the larger tank may help as well.
Our pressure is slightly higher here. We said in our comparison of our 100 vs the hill injection that their 10 PSI advantage was not a big deal. So to be fair, we will say that our extra 15 PSI advantage here is also not a big deal. When you are at these pressures, a little more is not a huge advantage. But we also feel we hold pressure well. So for more extended cleaning times, it may help to have higher pressure and a bigger boiler size

Our 125 machine weighs about 55 pounds. It’s heavier than the DuPray. It stands taller and wider than the Dupray. Ours may not work for you if you need something more compact. But if you have room and can deal with a bigger body machine, then please consider our specs and our price.
