Initially indecisive because I was looking for “amazing “!!

I have spent more time trying to find out how to use this product, than actually using it. Not sure why you actually produce a user manual, without the basic - how do you release the power release valve to refill! Once I worked out the basics, it worked ok. I wouldn’t buy again.

Terrible!

published

Just the worst cleaning apparatus I have ever used. I could have cleaned my whole shower stall in the time I took to read the complicated instructions which went on forever, the assembly and the wait for it to be hot enough...and lo and behold about 3 seconds of steam then nothing. I tried each and every nozzle as well . In all a waste of $139 and will try and return it to Bunnings tomorrow.

Purchased in January 2021 for $139.00.

Dissatisfied. Waste of money

published

Bought to clean bathroom. Button too hard to keep active. Steam doesn’t last. Thought it was empty but wasn’t. The amount of time I wasted could of cleaned quicker by hand. Returning it tomorrow. Waste of $139.

Great little steamer

published

Bought this from bunnings because my old steamer had clogged up and i had an urgent job to do on a filthy truck interior.
Used it in addition with some all purpose cleaner and a detailing brush and it worked great!
Requires a little patience as it needs to be re filled often but that can be expected for a steamer of this size. In saying that it does heat up very quick and disperses plently of steam at the touch of a button.
Great for use on small -medium jobs

Extremely Disappointed

published

Bought this product to clean my showers, wouldn't remove even the lightest marks from the grout or the flat surface of the tile. The water tank was empty after using for less than 2 minutes. Returned it for a refund and bought scrubbing brushes, at least I know they will do the job. Total waste of money.

DISAPPOINTED

published

Spent more time waiting for cooling/ filling and heating than using!
Thumb operated trigger is a pain.
A squeeze trigger (like petrol pump) would be better.
Only ok for spot cleaning in my opinion.
Maybe the bigger units would be more user friendly.
I won't buy another SC1 that's for sure!

Waste of Money

published

Bought this because of Karcher name and couldn't have been more disappointed. Did not clean grout at all and steam ran out after a couple of minutes and spent most time refilling, Also holding down button for steam in one hand and using attachment in the other hand was awkward.

A total waste of money - do not buy

published

This is a waste of space, have no idea why Karcher would put their name on it.
Purchased because I have 3 other Karcher products that I love - they perform brilliantly.
Why - because it did not perform, I could clean the same surface far faster with minimal effort, and no chemicals.
Do not believe the marketing.

Awful!

It produces steam for a few minutes then needs to be refilled, (200ml of water), and has little or no effect as a cleaner, wont remove wrinkles from clothes. Terrible!!!!!

Took back for refund

published

I get approx 2 minutes until I need to fill up with water again and then wait for it to steam up. Before i can do this, I need to depressurise the steamer otherwise the cap won't twist off.
When it works for those 2 minutes, it works a treat. Half the time it's being used though, it just sprays steam and hot water everywhere. Not sure if it's faulty or that's the way it is. Taking back today for a refund and purchasing the bigger Karcher Steam cleaner, has better reviews.
