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

Compact Steam Cleaning

Advantages: lightweight and compact
Disadvantages: Little storage for tools

...Hi have had my steam cleaner a week now and used it on a variety of surfaces. This steam cleaner is very compact the size of a very small cylinder vacuum cleaner and very light, I could lift it one handed no problem. We bought ours from Argos for £59.95. It came well packed but was hard to locate all of 15 accessory pieces as some were stuck to others. In the end I managed to locate everything. It has a 1.6L water tank that you fill with a jug and a small funnel. The water tank has a "child proof" cap that prevents you unscrewing when the tank is hot preventing burns but does make it a little tricky to open. Once you have filled the tank with water you plug the machine in and wait. Mine took about 10 minutes to get up to temperature, although you can shorten this by putting hot water in the tank to start with. Then you...

Review of Vax V-081 Steam Cleaner

VAX Steamer - no chance!

Advantages: Well, it broke after using it once, so NONE.
Disadvantages: Breaks. No cord storage. No visible water level. Tool storage too small.

...it heat up, but still no joy - no steam will come out. To clarify, both the lights are on (although of course the heat light turned off after 10 mins as the tank had heated up fully); the tank is full; the equipment is clean; the steam button is turned to maximum; the child safety button is turned to off. I have tried all the attachments, and none of them work. Has anyone else had this experience? The VAX website offers no help at all, and their care line closes at 5pm, and is only open Mon-Fri, not very useful for full-time workers. I doubt I will get a reply this century if I email. What a waste of £60!...

Review of Vax V-081 Steam Cleaner

Vax lightweight cleaner

Advantages: able to suit all floors, lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: a little noisey

...I recently had the pleasure of receiving a brand new Vax MachAir Vacuum cleaner U91-MA Series. After using it several times what can I say.. Its outstanding! Presentation The cleaner arrived securely packaged in tough box, complete with instructions on assembly and useage. After unpacking this lightweight model I found it very easy to attatch the handle and place the accesssories ( which is a 3 in 1 cervice tool,dusting brush and upholstery tool ) into the body ready for use on more specific tasks. This was now ready for use. Warranty Vax offer an excellent warranty of 6 years. The helpline number is easy to find printed on the product stating 7 day a week availability. Technical Details Voltage: 220-240V #50Hz Wattage: 1200W Capacity: 1.5L Filters; Pre-motor filter ( Washable ) HEPA...

Vax a Heavy Cleaner

Advantages: very long lead, and a big water tank
Disadvantages: heavy and bulky

...Having a 3 year old, plus 2 cats who love to leave us presents in the living room my carpet really needed a good clean. I decided to borrow my brothers Vax cleaner as it is an upright and my old vax was in the shed and I didn`t want to have to dig it out. He gave me the basic instructions on how to use it but had lost the manual so I had to figure most of it out myself! How did I clean my carpet? Basically I filled up the clean water tank with hot water,this is quite a big tank and sits in the upright part of the vax. I then added the vax solution to the solution tank which fits in underneath the clean water tank. On the handle is an on/off button a brush and soap button, to begin you need to put the soap and brush set to on then you will find a blue trigger underneath the handle keep that pressed in and press on to...

Review of VAX Rapide XL

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...

Review of Polti Vaporetto 2400 Steam Cleaner

Vax Rapide carpet cleaner

Advantages: Quick and value for money
Disadvantages: noise, weight

..., amazing to think that this dirt sits in your carpet through the year. I've even tried the cleaner on just a one month old carpet and still found that there's loads of dirt that comes out. I believe these are the greatest results you could hope for with a cleaner like this as you can clearly see what has been removed. One other part to mention is that for people who have pets this Vax cleaner also removes smells, we have a dog and were keen not to have a house that smells of border terrier all the time. I have certainly noticed a difference in a room that has been cleaned, compared to other rooms that haven't. Lastly the hand-held carpet cleaner isn't brilliant, I find that its practically useless for sofa's as it can't suck the water up properly due to the sofa being too soft. Also the water sprays out to fast and tends to go...
