Steamer worked as expected and even a little better on bad mold in the shower.

Great "Green Product" for the money November 22, 2008

For excellent cleaning without chemicals, this is a great unit for bathrooms-grout cleaning, kitchens and tile floors, granite countertops, and windows. Can't get much "greener" with the environment. Excellent buy at AMZ.

Don't waste your time or money on this joke November 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I wanted something that could finally clean the 1/2" white grout between my white kitchen and bathroom tiles. I've tried chlorine beach, pool bleach, even muriatic acid with a toothbrush. I thought this, if it worked like the other reviewers rave, would be a life saver. Wrong. It doesn't even remove stains that plain ol' soap & water get! What a joke. Makes a lot of hissing noise and steam fog, but no action. I only used it for about an hour on various things around the house to test it (bathroom tile, kitchen tile, kitchen sink, cabinets, even some carpet stains). After about 15 minutes, the first cup of water I put in it was gone and it stopped steaming. At least I assumed it ran out since there's no way to know how much, if any, water is still in it. That's why you're suppose to empty it (out of the tiny hole you poured the water in) when you're done. Otherwise, you will probably overfill it by mistake the next time you go to use it. Anyway, I put 3 cups in it this time and had to wait about 15 more minutes for it to reheat to use it again. If you are so sensitive that you can't even use soap and water to clean, AND you have a lot of time (like 3 hours just to try to clean your shower tile by tile), then go for it. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money because you'll be returning it like me.

not impressed November 12, 2008

This steamer is not what i thought it would be. When you use it it loses pressure right away so you have to sit and wait- pain in the ____ One of the brushes , the green scrubber, is attached with glue. This came off immediately and had to be thrown away , dumb design. The steamer cleans fairly well , but is very time consuming to fill, heat up, and wait forever for pressure to build.

The Freak back in Clean Freak... November 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I, like many other reviewers, did a lot of research and reading before making the purchase of this cleaner. I looked at much more expensive models, but ultimately it came down to buying an affordable, durable product that would get the job done. And that it did...
I did not have a prior experience with a vapor steamer which I'm sure does an even more amazing job with higher psi and temp, but honestly, I'm not sure I needed it.
I am so glad I bought this item and that it was, indeed affordable. It cleaned everything with relative ease. I thought my home was pretty clean, but I was amazed at the grime this steamer lifted from kitchen cabinets, my stove, the fridge, the bath, baseboards, louvered doors, light fixtures, chandelier glass, appliances, etc...
It's really, really great for getting gunk out of nooks and crannies-- especially crevices like windows, track doors of sliders, around the base of the toilet, and anywhere dust/dirt build up over time.
As some other reviewers said, it did take a few more passes to get the tougher build up residue off the oven/stove/microwave, but ultimately the gleaming clean you get is worth the time it takes. Plus, no chemicals.
My house really feels clean because it truly is.
We purchased this not only to deep clean thoroughly, but also because our daughter has allergies to dust mites, cats, dogs, dust. The temperature of the steam helps to kill dust mites, de-nature the cat and dog allergens and eliminate the need for us to use chemicals to do that on a regular basis.
You do need to be careful when refilling the machine right after it runs out of steam as when you pour in the room temperature water it will "geyser" out b/c the heating tank is still very hot. Watch out to not get splashed.
Also, as other reviewers said, grab more towels because once you get started you won't want to stop.
One other thing, there's some "blow back" of debris the steam kicks up when cleaning crevices, so be careful not to be in the line of that as it can splatter a bit in your face.
I got my unit today and literally got on a three hour cleaning spree...I did not use any of the brushes b/c I had read that they were only good for one cleaning. I was able to use an old toothbrush when i needed it and that worked just fine.
I was most impressed with the way it cleaned gunk from my fridge doors where condiments were and how my appliances literally gleam.
I thought I had a clean house, as I clean regularly and thoroughly, but using this machine has taken it to another level.
I love it!
The unit comes with one terry cloth towel for use on the brush attachment. Other reviewers said to buy more, however they have designed the brush in such a way that you could easily use any other lint free towel (such as a microfiber towel), which is nice.
the unit was a snap to put together and to use. It does need refilling every 15 minutes, however it's nice to take a break between filling.

I'm very satisfied with the price I paid and what I got.
