Title: Great HOUSEHOLD steamer
Review: After some research and contemplation, I bought this unit to clean and disinfect bathrooms and other household stuff. By in large, most of the observations from the reviews here have been consistent with what I've seen.PROS:1. Steam lasts a very long time. The manual says it can hold up to 48oz of water from which to generate 2 hrs of steam. This appears to be right if you're holding the nozzle open constantly. In reality, its longer because you have to steam-wipe-steam-wipe repeatedly, letting the machine rest during "wipes". I can get a good 3 hrs of cleaning done on one full tank of water. Also keeping you from holding open the nozzle is that you have to give it time to "recharge" since it appears that it does not generate steam as fast as you use it.2. It works on what it claims: most "organic" build-ups like soap scum, toothpaste, dirt, etc. Cleans darkened grout nicely. Doesn't damage the finish on fixtures. I was expecting a little too much on the calcium deposits from hard water... steam just wasn't effective.3. Nice supply of attachments (brushes) although its unclear what types of surfaces these brushes can be safely used on. In particular, I refer to the smaller round brushes. For example, my guess is that the brass brushes are not meant for highly polished finishes.4. Good enough to clean hard to reach crevices like sliding door tracks (shower doors or patio doors), faucet details, etc.5. Works well on car wheels. Brake dust is very fine and a pain to clean by hand. Not to mention that the chemicals are often not meant to touch the brake disc surface (I have yet to figure out how splashing water from a hose can be directed only to the wheel and not the brakes within).6. Steam is the only option for cleaning chemically-prohibited surfaces (I never knew chemical cleaners were not recommended in microwaves!).CONS:1. Its loud! Not the machine, but the steam as it comes out of the nozzle. I strongly recommend hearing protection while you use it when indoors. My ears were ringing for about an hour after my first session.2. Steaming takes time. If you're not opposed to using chemicals, often I find that bleach works as good, if not better, than steam. Compared to 5-10 mins steaming a polished chrome bath fixture to get it sparkling, it took 30 secs using your household bath cleaner with bleach.3. Steam just doesn't work efficiently on mineral build-up. Chemicals are far more time-efficient. Hard water stains and deposits require lots of time and lots of elbow-grease (scrubbing). And even then, I'm not convinced it was cleaner than using chemicals (i.e., judging from the "gleam" off the surface).4. The steam pressure is not very high. It isn't very low either, but definnitely not high enough to "blow" debris away more than an inch or two from where the steam jet hits. The best approach seems to loosen with steam then wash away with water or wipe away with sponge. Hence, I don't recommend using this for something like cleaning a car engine where neither wash nor wipe are feasible. (I guess you could steam long enough so that the condensed water from the steam was enough to wash away the gunk on its own, but that would take forever.)5. It needs time to build up steam pressure while you work. The light is supposed to turn off when it is ready. While in use, the light will come on when the pressure reaches some threshold. Continued use beyond that point without letting it rest means you work with less pressure. When the tank is full of "condensed" water, the light comes on more frequently. As the water is depleted and more volume in the tank can accommodate vapor steam, the light comes on less often.6. The width of the brushes simply do not permit reaching into 90 degree crevices or those really tight spaces. This is minor, however, but a flat or low-profile brush attachment would have been nice. A medium bristle toothbrush is a nice companion in my cleaning adventures...Overall, pretty happy with this unit. To be efficient, I've found using a combined balance of chemicals and steam is best. It definitely reduces the amount of chemicals I need to use. For hard-to-reach or delicate surface areas, steam wins outright (with the mentioned toothbrush).

Title: Things I didn't like about my previous steamer
Review: I have been using steam to clean for many years. My mom bought a multi-use steamer when I was about 14 and I've been using it ever since. When I moved out on my own, I got the steamer and my mom upgraded. Used it ever since. It finally crapped out after over 10 years, so I know a few things about steam cleaning and there are some tricks to it. I decided to buy this one because it had a big water tank and had a lot of features. Things I didn't like about my previous steamer.Pros:Large water tank- that doesn't mean you should fill it all the way though. If you fill it full, there is no room for the steam and heat to expand and you won't get good pressure or amount of steam. This is true of ALL STEAMERS. If you over fill them, it won't work well. Fill it about half to 75% - I use an old smallish pitcher and am able to steam a LOT without refilling.Long power cord- I can roll this thing around my kitchen, dining room, front room, and hallway without unplugging it. Admittedly I don't have a huge house, but the cord is as long or longer than my vacuum cord. It is really nice to not have to unplug and replug in every room.Long steam hose- this hose is awesomely long. It doesn't lose pressure or heat and still comes out strong. I can put the tank in the middle of my hall or kitchen and still reach everything I want to steam.Steam adjuster on the handle- very cool feature I've never had before! I am able to customize how much steam I get for different tasks. I adjusted it a few times while steaming and it is a very useful feature. I can have delicate steam for light things, vertical surfaces, or fabrics. I can have heavy steam for bathrooms and kitchen stuff, or old/ thick tough things.The pressure gauge- I like it, but it isn't needed. It seems to just upset people who don't understand how pressure vessels work. Yes, the gauge goes up higher than the highest the machine will go, obviously. It is kind of a safety feature, because if it hit the top of the scale how would you know what the actual pressure was; if something went wrong and the pressure went higher than it was supposed to you wouldn't know. Also I see lots of people complaining that the pressure drops from 4 to 2. Yeah. Duh, you are releasing pressure, but it takes a while to drop. But you can steam perfectly fine at 2 anyway; I did for like half an hour before I was done for the day. And if you wait maybe five minutes, it is back up to 4. By the way, it only takes MAYBE fifteen minutes to heat up from a room temperature start. And I'm tired of people complaining about heat up time: for that amount of water, it isn't going to be instant obviously. Heating less water in a tea kettle on the stove can take just as long. Just go get the rags to wipe with or go to the bathroom, whatever.It gets hot- I see someone complaining about the steam being nEasy fill spout- it is super easy to fill without a funnel. But you have to go slow or it will burp at you. ;)Wheels and handle- really easy to move around. My old steamer was small but rested on a shoulder strap that got heavy and banged around. It was exhausting, this is easy to move around!Con:No place to wind the hose- it isn't too bad but it could have easily been a clipHandle gets a little warm- after about 30 minutes to an hour, it got warm. Not hot enough that I had to stop but, warm enough to notice. But after that long of steam running through it it isn't the surprising or unusual. I wasn't bothered enough to quit what I was doing.OVERALLI really like this steamer. It feels well made and if you use it appropriately it won't break. It isn't magic, but it makes cleaning so much easier. You still have to wipe things up, tough things will take longer or some scrubbing. I've used it several times in the week since I've had it and it works as expected. But some people have crazy expectations. Some tips:Be reasonable, it is a tool for cleaning, not a replacement for work.Don't over fill it.Adjust the steam to the lowest and raise as needed.I use old towels to wipe, and green scrubbers for tough stuff.I've cleaned my fridge, baby stuff, glass top stove, bathroom sinks, grungy doors(you know where they get funky from hands by the knob), a pan with baked on BBQ sauce, all my light switches and plates, bathroom shower, and a few other small things.

Title: Addictive
Review: Good for residential use. Lots of applications (tile, upholstery, etc.). Easy to operate. Lock button is a nice feature. Made cleaning fun. Wife had to tell me to stop trying to steam everything.Used to clean grout on ceramic floor tile that had never been deep-cleaned (4+ years). Also steamed glass shower doors with good results. Impressed with results after only one pass. Not having to use chemicals a plus. Dries quickly with little water residue.Good design. Only drawback is a 15-20 minute run time for each 16oz. tank of water. Narrow fill spout requires funnel (included). Portable with wheels. Lightweight. Long steam hose. Long power cord. Lots of accessories included. Plastic housing cracked when I accidentally dropped the unit, but that's on me. Cosmetic damage. Still works fine.I'd buy again. We'll see how long it lasts. Regardless, very cost-effective alternative to commercial fees for smaller residential jobs.

Review: I saw this product on The Detail Geek YouTube channel a few years ago and promised myself I would eventually buy one. I did! OMG, it is amazing! So light and unassuming in appearance, yet so versatile and hugely affective. I use it mostly on car detailing, but any household use, like cleaning out narrow window tracks, toilet seas, shower doors and trim etc, it really is so versatile! The initial price always put me off, but now I own it, it really was worth buying!
