Unfortunately, this product did not work at all. I had to hold it with two hands and shake it and that only produced intermittant bursts of steam. On the plus side, when I contacted the company, they immediately offered to replace it or refund my money. I requested a refund and rec'd a full refund which included the shipping a handling.
 WOW - Awesome Steamer September 26, 2008
I am 40 years old and I've never written a review before, but I just had to let others know about this GREAT little steamer. I wanted a steamer to clean the nooks and crannies, and this does just that. I received the cleaner earlier this week, and just had a few minutes to play with it. The first thing I cleaned was a window seal. At first, I wasn't overly impressed, but I wasn't disappointed either. Today, I began using the steamer in earnest, and I'm very, very pleased. I would like to share some of the things I've discovered about the steamer. First, the instructions state to let the water heat for 4 minutes. I think a couple extra minutes is helpful. While you are waiting on the steamer to heat, multi-task...unload the dishwasher, or fold that load of laundry still sitting in the basket! Once you are ready to use the steamer, always keep it in an upright position...use the hose so you can keep the steamer upright. This allows for maxium steam output. Second, be patient. This little thing is powerful, but it doesn't clean huge areas at once. Keep the area you want to clean small, and think of this steamer as a detailer. It will get into all the places that your rag cannot. This steamer is like having a mini power-washer. It directs a pencil-thin stream of steam into the area you want. Go slow, and have patience and you will be amazed at the dirt that the steam will power off. I used this on my stove, and was very impressed. It powered off grease and grime in the cracks where my rag couldn't reach. It did not remove the baked on stains on my ceramic top stove, but it powered away where my fingers were to big to get into. My 8 year old stove now sparkles.
Clean especially dirty areas right after the steamer has been freshly filled. This will allow for maxium output. The steamer does began slacking some when the water is getting low.
I have white appliances and white cabinets in my kitchens, and it did a great job. It powered away dirt where the cabinet meets the linolium. I used it on my white painted woodwork, and it couldn't look any better unless I had repainted it. Do be careful when working around painted surfaces and wallpaper. The hot steam will bubble paint and pull off wall paper. I used it on paint and wallpaper, but I was careful.
I also have a house full of 6-pannel white painted doors. It did fabulous and I didn't have to worry about the paint on these surfaces.
I used this around the bottom of the toilet. If you have boys or men in your house, then you know what I mean! It was also great around the sink faucets where toothpaste and soap scum gather.
As you use this steamer, keep plenty of rags around...wet and dry. The dirt and grime will disolve, run down the surface you are cleaning, and sometimes as I experienced, cause crud to fly. That's ok, it means things are getting clean.
Be warned, ladies, (or gents), this little devil is addictive. I'm pooped from all the cleaning I've been doing! Pace yourself!
If you have a water softener as I do, use soft water in the steamer and this will help it to last longer and not get hard water build up.
I am a detail-oriented person, and very picky, and I think this steamer does a great job. I personally wouldn't use if for day-to-day general cleaning, but for deep cleaning and nooks and crannies, it's GREAT! I have not yet tried any attachements but the hose. I will save that for another day! On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being it did absolutely nothing, and 10 being absolute perfection, I would give it an 8.
BTW, I cleaned several more window seals, and it did a fine job when I slowed down and took my time.
For $20, you can't go wrong. I only wished I had purchased it much sooner. I may buy a couple more for Christmas presents.
A WASTE September 24, 2008
THIS PRODUCT IS A WASTE OF MONEY OR YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.I PLACED MY HAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STEAM(MIST OF WARM WATER) WITHOUT MY HAND GETTING BURN.IT JUST GOT VERY WET.I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED.
 nice product September 18, 2008
This product does what it should for a small household item and the cost. It seems sturdy and got some dirt off dirty caulking that seems to have been there forever
