Neat-o Steam-o Machine-o
This type of product is definitely relative to the price you pay, I bought this a few weeks back, and started using it for vehicle detailing because I wanted to test a steamer before purchasing a high-dollar one.
Pros:
1. Builds steam power quick, and lasts quite a while with usage of 8oz distilled water.
2. Lightweight, flexible hose, easy to move around in and out of a vehicle
3. Product comes with a bunch of different accessories, most of which I'll never use
4. Good steam pressure for blasting bits of dirt out of door jambs, rubber seals, and nooks/crannies.
5. Easy maintenance/cleanup with distilled water, just turn it off for 20ish min, dump the excess out, throw everything in a bag and move on with your life.
6. Easy to switch attachments, and I really dig the one that you can place a scrunchy microfiber over. That thing's great for leather seats, though the microfiber soaks with water quick so you'll need to ring it out every now and again. No biggie.
Cons:
1. Melted the brushes within the first usage.
2. If you let it sit for a few seconds after building pressure, fire it in a safe direction until steam comes out. Otherwise you shoot a few seconds of high-pressure near-boiling water at your target, which can backsplash (ow) and damage whatever you're cleaning. Sorry about your carpet mom.
Suggestions:
1. Could use a carrying case? That'd be nice. Some of the attachments don't all fit in the thing, so I have to put the extra accessories in a bag.
2. Could use some better heat resistant brushes, scrubby scrubby.
Hope this helps!
