We already had a Dirt Devil, whom I have loved. Unfortunately, it is broken and then I ordered it here, because I thought it was the same. Was he not, unfortunately, and he also sucks not as good as I had the first. The specified parquet brush was missing, what has annoyed me most, as we have throughout the house parquet. Then I have a parquet brush specially ordered and that is too large for the sucker. All very annoying. The floor steam cleaners I've used twice and find it really necessary. First of all, it is of course a bit cumbersome to use it, because you need to fill it and the cable is not very long, so you have to constantly find a new outlet nearby. The floor is not really cleaner than with a "normal" mop. We have two children and since the soil is naturally ever dirty and I had hoped that the steam cleaner to the dirt that sometimes settles on the bottom removed "easily". The wiper must always pressed hard and sometimes properly "scrub" to get the dirt away. Unfortunately, it works with the steam cleaner but not much better. One must keep the steam for a long time on fixed things and even then he does not get the floor clean. So no difference actually. Therefore, I no longer use it because of the expense to the cable and filling is not worth so.
