A:AnswerI believe they’re the same machine performance wise, identical replacement parts. except for the handle and the electric green color it also comes with the 2in1 stain removal tool in addition to everything included with the Big Green Pro
A:AnswerNo, it does not. The directions say to use hot tap water, do not boil or microwave. I let it run as hot as it will get and it works very well. I use it most of the time without the cleaning agent included with the machine. Even with plain hot water it does a very good job for me.
