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 Lervia Handheld Steam Cleaner

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

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

.... Wall tiles and grouting. The black mildew stains on grout were removed instantly by the concentrator nozzle, using about 50% of max flow rate. Safety features. An excess pressure release valve in the safety cap will release steam if the pressure exceeds a limit. A warning light and audible alarm activates when the boiler is nearly out of water. Other features include a pressure gauge and an economy feature that switches off the heating element when the steam is not used for a few minutes. Ease of use. The 3.7 m electric cable is excellent and the 2m hose provides further flexibility and room coverage. The cable warps around the cleaner unit which is on 3 wheels and easily moved as you work. Holding 2 litres of water I was able to clean the dining room carpets, cloakroom sink, taps, grouting, hallway carpet (twice) Kitchen ceramic...

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

Fun to clean - if you have 3 hands!

Advantages: Low cost, heats up quick, no chemicals involved - sanitises
Disadvantages: The safety button - makes it so difficult to use, not that powerful

...so I would advise never lending to anyone without telling them this first - and in about 4 minutes it is ready to use. The power cable is very long which is fantastic as you can plug it in and wander really far looking for things to steam! It's quite a power trip. For cleaning the loo, bath, sink and taps I thought it worked well and they come up shiny without having to scrub hard. For more tough stains such as ones on the carpet and sofa you may struggle to clean without using a bit of elbow grease however. My main problem with the JML steam cleaner is the safety button - you have to press both buttons in to operate the steam which is very difficult to do with one hand so you tend to end up spraying for a bit and then wiping over with a cloth to remove dirt which slows you down and means you end up picking up and putting down...

STEAM AWAY THE DIRT

Advantages: COMPACT AND EASY TO USE
Disadvantages: NONE

...I RECENTLY PURCHASED ONE OF THESE JML STEAM CLEANERS FOR THE VERY REASONABLE PRICE OF £29.99 I ORDERED MINE FROM THE INTERNET, BUT NOW THEY ARE AVAILABLE IN SHOPS (I HAVE SEEN THEM IN ROBERT DYAS, WOOLWORTHS AND HOMEBASE SO FAR) IT IS ABOUT 18 INCHES TALL, AND IS A BRIGHTISH BLUE COLOUR. IT HAS A SCREWABLE TOP WHERE YOU PUT THE WATER IN, AND IT COMES WITH A FUNNEL AND MEASURING JUG. YOU PUT IN TWO JUGS OF WATER, SWITCH IT ON AND WAIT FOR APPROX 5 MINUTES.THERE IS AN ORANGE LIGHT ON THE SIDE WHICH ILLUMINATES, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN IT IS READY TO USE. YOU GET SEVERAL ATTACHMENTS WITH THE CLEANER: A SMALL BRUSH WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR SCRUBBING AND CLEANING GROUTING, HUB CAPS ETC. THIS IS ALSO GOOD FOR OVEN INTERIORS - SIMPLY BLAST THE STEAM IN TO THE OVEN, AND WIPE AWAY THE DIRT AND GRIME WITH A CLEAN CLOTH OR KITCHEN ROLL...

Review of JML Handheld Steam Cleaner

  Getting hot and steamy on the carpet

Advantages: Brilliant cleaning capabilities
Disadvantages: Heavy to hold

...For years I had always said that one day I would buy a steam cleaner. Living in a house with five animals plus two messy children takes its toll on the carpets, and despite instilling into the children that they must take their shoes off before coming inside, there is the occasional bout of forgetfulness. A few weeks ago I set off shopping with the intention to buy a steam cleaner at long last. We went to Focus and after vague instructions from an assistant on where to locate the cleaners, we found them at the end of an aisle. The steam cleaner we chose was a JML hand held model, which retails at £59.99 but at present Focus have a promotion whereby we received ten pounds off the R.R.P. The steam cleaner looks very similar to a hand held vacuum cleaner, in that it is a long chunky shape, and I must admit I was intending to use...
