Extra use for steam cleaner

With the cleaning pads removed this is an excellent method of killing grass and other weeds from between pavers or pebble gardens without the use of chemical weed killers - David Shuttler, Montrose, Tasmania

Don’t waste your money

published

Steam that came out of it was high pressured and it would work well only that every time I held down the button to get it going the steam was coming out of it and burning my finger. So that is why I am saying don’t waste your money. Maybe i just had a dodgy one.
The lid was a pain in the butt to open also.

Waste of money

published

Thought I would try this product as heard some positive reviews, firstly some parts were missing from the box as were the instructions. The water doesn't last long and it's a pain to refill constantly, the steam is not hot enough and there is no pressure.
You need 2 things when it comes to steam cleaning, hot steam and high pressure this had neither.
Will be returning for a refund today.

Useless

published

There is no information on how to fill the product up with water, which is necessary because 1. there is no way to find any hole or anything where water could be poured in; and 2. it operates with water. After research found out yet it is impossible to fill. There is no contact details in case you need to ask questions.

Returning back to store.

published

Just brought this today, followed the instructions to a T and low and behold the results were disappointing to say the least. I let it heat up for 5 min and could hold my hand directly in front of the steam it was lukewarm enough, there was barely to none pressure. I rechecked the plug, the lid and nossel, they were all on as tight as could be. I will be returning to the store. If they have any in stock left I will try a replacement and hope for a better result.
Apart from it not preforming at all I will say it does come with a great bunch of attachments, the machine its self is quite heavy.

Impractical and takes way too long

published

The steam lasts around 1-2 minutes before a refill is needed which takes around 3 minutes to reheat. If you are using this for any moderate job it will take you twice as long.

Jif and some elbow grease are much better and faster than using this, especially for tough stains.

Cleaned years of stubborn water spots and soap scum

published

Ran my shower for 5mins to 'warm up glass', steamed and lightly scrubbed the stubborn soap scum and water spots with the little brush attachment (especially the bottom of the glass) and then wiped it all away with a cleaning cloth. Took 15mins total and now looks brand new.
I used it to steam and scrub the shower tiles and grouting which was built up with soap scum that just wouldn't budge - wiped clean off, no effort or scrubbing required.
Will probably only need to use it in bathroom once a month to tame any build up.
Highly recommend buying one of these. $25 from Kmart and does an amazing job.

Useless, impractical product

published

Used on bathroom tiles, didn't really remove the brown/black grime in between tiles even with the brush. Each refill only lasts for a minute or less. Steam needs to be released and cooled down before being able to refill the steamer with water and re-boil. Do not buy, impractical and useless product.

Didn't work on glass hard water stains

published

Bought this after reading the reviews on here. Using the glass attachment, the steamer did not remove all the calcium deposit from hard water and soap suds from the shower glass - glass still looks cloudy when dry. With a bit of scrubbing using the brush, the streamer did a great job cleaning the grout and tiles. Shower floor looks really clean. Just a warning that you shouldn't press too hard or scrub using the brush as that will distort it and Kmart does not sell accessories for this streamer separately. Overall I would still recommend it as its cheap and easy to use.

Awesome for $25

published

I bought this to help with small stains in carpets and bits of dirt in corners and floors at new place I moved into that was filthy. I ended using this steamer for everything for 2 weeks, everyday and never missed a trick. The attachments make it versatile for diffrent applications. The only thing is if you want to use it for longer jobs you’ve got to refill the water every few mins but that shouldn’t be a shock to anyone given its only a small unit and tank, also a bit of patience if you want to use it on a bigger area, but works really well and I can recommend it for general stuff around the house.

Loosens up all the dirt

published

I used the steam cleaner on my kitchen stove - it loosens up ALL the dirt on it and leaves it nice and shiny as if it were brand new. So much better than using chemicals to clean my kitchen, and works out to be much cheaper in the long run. Also used it in the bathroom to clean soap scum with great success. Highly recommend this!

It might be cheap, but it works perfectly :-)

published

I bought this item a few years ago & it worked perfectly until its time was over & I purchased another one recently :-) I solely use it for cleaning my carpet & couch, but it can be used for other purposes such as ironing clothes etc... The steam is strong & the machine heats up very quickly. It's also not too heavy & portable. I highly recommend this item :-)
