Since the time I tâtais me to purchase a steam cleaner ... I finally decide for this model after much hesitation and many customers notice of readings on the web. The possibility of filling the tank at any time is a major asset for this type of product because the vapor flew quickly during cleaning and it must be said that we are all the same: when the beast is stored in his lair on n 'not too motivated to go wake her up! So when we go out all the stuff is rather to engage in a session that will take good thirty minutes ... then the machine that sputters its steam in 5 minutes and it takes off to fill time while waiting required heating ... it was not possible for me! The heating time is short for this model but the green button starts flashing quickly necessitating still waiting a few seconds here and there ... the wipes get dirty very quickly so it is better to plan to buy others (or hack in itself that I have given the price). Beware of pipe that is super hot (normal) but we always need to move at one time cleaning ... In conclusion: I think that we should not expect miracles from this type of product, it is occasionally for a good deep clean and sanitize all surfaces that withstand heat of steam. I do not regret having bought above the price proposed by amazon compared to other major retailers.
