aquamark handheld steam cleaner

Advantages: low price,easy to store
Disadvantages: not powerful enough

...I purchased an aquamark handheld steam cleaner because I primarily wanted to clean my filthy stainless steel cookertop and my oven,I also thought that it would be useful to help me tackle a lot of other household chores. I opted for the handheld version because they are a lot cheaper that the larger models and I dont have an awful lot of storage space. The product comes with a number of different attachments for different types of job. There is a large hollow brush for upholstery, two smaller brushes labelled a and b to use for stubborn stains on for example work surfaces and bathroom surfaces..the labelling allows you to have a separate brush for these two rooms and is more hygienic. A small "sockette" made from elasticated towelling is provided and this slips over a triangular shaped head and is desingned for use on delicate areas ie...

Review of Aquamark Handheld Steam Cleaner

Dyson not hoover

Advantages: Power, vaersatility, suction
Disadvantages: weight (minor disadvantage)

...Having own the original style Dyson some years ago, I had an idea what to expect with the acquisition of the DC 14 when my old hoover's wheels literally came off (wasn't a Dyson by the way). The new Dyson clicked together in a few minutes, I even followed the instructions, and within a minute of registering the Dyson on line for the 5 year guarantee I was hoovering away. The DC 14 boasts some excellent features not least the 1400 w of suction which is pretty awesome expecially when you consider none of that suction is lost as the waste receptical fills. There are no hoover bags to worry about and therefore no loss in suction. The waste management system on the Dyson is again a triumph of style and simplicity over hygiene. By grasping the handle of the clear waste tube and clicking the button with your thumb, it comes away in...

Review of Dyson DC 14 ALL Floors Silver&white&yello

Car cleaning made easy, the Dyson way.

Advantages: Well-known Dyson technology, comfortable drill-style design
Disadvantages: Shortish battery life

...This little number is a beauty - fantastic looks are combined with excellent performance to give a handheld vacuum cleaner that is so far ahead of the rest that it deserves its own category. It's so easy and natural to hold due to its drill-like handle and trigger set-up, and well-known Dyson technology is everywhere in evidence. It's clearly intended to be useful as a car vac, and its here that it really shines - the long nozzle easily fits in almost any crevice, and the powerful suction does the rest. A single charge cleans my car every time - there isn't much left in the battery by the time I'm finished though, so maybe this is the only drawback? But it doesn't fall short of the competition here either - every car vac I've ever used has a very short battery life. The Dyson has a recharging stand into which it slides easily - less...

Steam Through Your Cleaning Schedule!

Advantages: Cleans better than you couls imagine
Disadvantages: Bit heavy

...It was earlier this year that, about March time and I was getting really fed up with the state of my house, it was not dirty but some things I could not do anything with, for example the limescale on the shower cubical, no matter how much I scrubbed it i still could not get it off, I was not going to be beaten by this, so I bought a hand held JML Steam Cleaner. THE STEAMER I chose the hand held JML which cost me just under £50. With this particular Steamer you get a range of interchangeable tools these are, a rubber nozzle, 2 small round brushes and a big triangular shaped brush, I believe that you can buy other attachments separately. You also get a cleaning sachet; this is used to clean the nozzle if it gets blocked. This Steam Cleaner looks much the same as other hand held steam cleaners, looks a bit like a big kettle. It...

Review of JML Handheld Steam Cleaner

I' M ALL STEAMED UP!!

Advantages: NO CHEMICALS USED TO CLEAN
Disadvantages: NONE AT ALL

...Here I go again .I wrote this Op last week then had to use go-back on the computer and now I to start again so here goes. I have had this steam cleaner for months now and yet I had never thought about doing an opinion on it until I took it out today to do some cleaning for my Mum and Dad for Christmas I bought it in Lidl’s a while ago for £20 and it’s the best £20 I have ever spent. I'm sorry but it is only sold by Lidl as it is made especially for them by a german company . For those of you who don’t know Lidl is a grocer shop but do sell special offers on other products, which vary twice a week and this one of the special offers. The week after we bought ours the manager of the store told me that people had actually nearly come to blows over the last two left in the store :O) It is described as...

Review of Lervia Handheld Steam Cleaner

A mean steam clean

Advantages: Effective and environmentally friendly
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I bought my Polti steam cleaner around two years ago, then priced at £299, including the iron attachment and can honestly say it was worth every penny. It looks rather like a large red cylinder vacuum cleaner, with a long electric lead and vacuum cleaner like attachments. On first unpacking everything, it may seem a little daunting at first. There is, however, an excellent instruction book and very useful video to help. These explain just how the Polti uses the power of steam, without any chemicals or cleansers, to remove dirt from almost anywhere in your home. There are several benefits here- Steam is more environmentally friendly than chemical cleansers and their packaging. Bacteria is effectively destroyed by the high temperature used. Long-term cost effectiveness can be achieved because of the true multi purpose nature...

Review of Polti Vaporetto 2400 Steam Cleaner

Something to get steamed up about

Advantages: No need for chemicals or detergents
Disadvantages: Flimsy construction

...My first introduction to the Polti Vaparetto was at Downtown Superstore, Grantham. Lincs. I was having a browse around and came across a demonstration of this steam cleaner. This machine cleaned everything imaginable and it was all done by steam with no addition of detergents and chemicals , thus sterilising as you go. When the lady demonstrator got to the ironing part she was suddenly enveloped in clouds of billowing steam and when it came to ironing shirts, she just hung them on a hanger and pointed the iron at them and, viola, creases dropped out as if by magic. I am a demonstrator's dream as I only have to look and I see, I lust, I crave and if cash permits, I buy. As this machine cost £349.99, I didn't have enough loose change in my pocket (OK, truth be told, I didn't even have it in my bank account) buying it...

Domotec DSC00013 steam cleaner

Advantages: power, water tank capaacity, variable steam, on/off trigger
Disadvantages: none yet

...After reviewing a large number of steam cleaners I finally opted for the Domotec Super Elite DSC00013. As I spent so much time reviewing steam cleaning equipment I have summarised the specifications on http://www.ucanclean.co.uk where you can compare models and add reviews. So far this steam cleaner has been absolutely brilliant, its so powerful. The Domotec DSC00013 has a good specification and is provided with a versatile range of tools including 2 extension tubes which permit reaching ceilings etc and essential in using the carpet/floor tool, a round brush agitator (used this on oven), a window squeegee tool and a concentrator tool (useful for small areas, grouting etc) plus some towelling cloths for upholstery and carpets. To give a flavour of its flexibility and use for jobs around the home, I've detailed the cleaning...

Review of Domotec DSC00013 Super Elite Steam Cleaner

A great cleaner

Advantages: cleans without chemoicals
Disadvantages: none

...I bought a wonderful cleaner. A vaporetto steam cleaner. This little machine is a marvel it cleans anything. I boughjt it originally to clean my carpets. It cleans them without leaving any ,marks or getting them wet. It cleans, sterilises and deodorises anything. IHighly reccomend it if you have animals, children, a kitchen or a bathroom. It is the easiest way to defrost your freezer, clean a greasy cooker, diinfect the toilet,or worktops, unblock sinks, and clean anywere without nasty chemicals.I have used it to clean the carpets after spilling coffee, no stains left. It cleans windows, tiles baths.In fact I haven't found anything that it will not clean. It works by generating a stream of high pressure steam, the safe thing is that only the 1" from the end of the tool gets hot, as soon as you are away from the end no heat or danger....

Review of Polti Vaporetto 2400 Steam Cleaner

Digging for dirt right down by the root

Advantages: Light, very manoeuvrable, robust, very powerful suction
Disadvantages: Initial outay is expensive, no ability to use mains power

...of using mains power though; mainly for in the car. The 6 minutes is ample for cleaning up spills and such but this cleaner is such a convenient shape and so maneuverable that it would be great to use for an all over car interior cleaning session but with only 6 minute burst and a 3 hour charging session it is less convenient. I would definitely recommend this Dyson DC 16 Handheld Root 6 though, admittedly it is expensive but considering the excellent experiences I have had with Dyson in the past I am pretty sure I will have a similar experience with this. Dyson supply their machines with a standard two year guarantee and the Dyson DC 16 Handheld Root 6 is no different....
