Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is what I recommend to get the full effect from this product. Look up the DIY videos on removing wallpaper, and go out and get the spikey roller thingy, a 6 or 8 inch putty knife, and mix up a 50-50 solution of fabric softener and water. That should be just fine. After all, it's just a little kitchen border, right? Spray and scrape and gouge up the wall--chipping paint and leaving gashes the size of butterflies. In a short 20 minutes, you should have ruined a one foot square area of wall. Ask yourself what in heaven's name you were thinking in the first place. What had you done to deserve this? Quit. Have a whiskey and hit the internet. Ask yourself why not give this steamer a shot? Ask why not for 50 bucks when it costs 25 bucks to rent one for a day? When the steamer arrives, leave it on the kitchen table for at least a week--finding any excuse possible to avoid returning to that little border removal task. Have more whiskey. When you feel sufficiently guilty, open the box and assemble the steamer. Curse under your breath as it takes only 2 minutes to assemble it. You figured you could have gotten at least one more day in putting things off. Force yourself to use it. You shouldn't expect to use it expertly at first. You'll figure out your steamer technique in a bit. All you need is the putty knife, maybe an extension cord, the steamer, and some patience. You won't be pulling off tent sized sheets of paper, but you'll hit the groove so much so that you may contemplate hiring yourself out for wallpaper removal. Don't. Instead, have a whiskey, give the steamer 5 stars, and sigh contentedly.
