Euroflex Monster Steam-Jet-II 1200w Disinfecting Floor Steam Cleaner With Carpet Glide and 2 UPGRADED Microfiber Pads



Works great with a little modification....
After reading all the reviews I settled on the monster steam mop. After reading the directions I went to work. Steam appeared to be shooting from all directions around the mop head giving the appearance that this thing was working. But the bottom of the mop was just warm, all the steam coming from the sides looks great but did little to heat the mop pad. I was dissapointed and tried all the different pads, even pre wetting them to see if that helped. Nothing did and I thought I had a regular mop on my hands. I let it cool down and inspected the bottom. The steam was directed to the sides of the head via a couple of small channels. Not effective at all. I then saw three small screws holding a plastic cover on the bottom. Removed the screws and plastic cover, plugged it in and WOW, a real steamer. Tons of steam directed at the bottom of the head and actually got hot enough to disinfect. Give it a try. And your'e welcome.

The Good & the Bad
I recived my Monster EZ2 on Saturday and I've used it to clean my downstairs since it's all tiled.

First off, I think my expectations of just how WELL a steamer was going to clean were NOT realistic. That being said. It is VERY easy to use and it DOES clean!

Bad:
* It is VERY hard to push forward. I have had to use my foot at times to help push it forward. It is a strain!
* The pad WILL bunch up when pushing forward if you have not placed the pad far enough forward for the steamer to 'glide' on the pad.
* I have a 13' x 24' living room & it takes at least 2 fill ups to clean the entire floor. That is not so bad for me since I'm a stay-at-home mom, but for others that are working, that can be time consuming.
* It takes two pads to clean my living room/hall area (again, not that large of an issue for me since I do not work out of the home).
* The major annoyance for ME is that small cup that include for you to use to fill the steamer with...

READ THIS- I did a lot of research when my last steam mop died
I owned the shark steam mop for about a year and half- and I LOVED it. When it broke, and I went to buy another one, I noticed that in many many shark reviews, users mentioned that it tended to live only about a year, which was my own experience. Considering that they aren't cheap, I started reading reviews for a comparable or better steam mop that would live for a longer time. Over the course of a week, I browsed reviews on every single steam mop available for sale on Amazon among other sites- the Monster seemed to do very well across the board. I have owned it now about 6 months and I am NOT happy. First let me preface this by saying that I am a single female, living in NYC- My apartment is not large, and I do not have heavy foot/animal traffic in my home. My shark replaced my traditional mop,floor cleaner fluid and bucket ENTIRELY. I am a very clean person who is rather meticulous about my home, and when there are large spills, I use a sponge/paper towels, floor cleaner,elbow...

Clearmax Lightweight Pressurized Steam Cleaner and Sanitizer (Blue)



It really does work!
Like a lot of other buyers, I simply could not believe that a steam cleaner this cheap was any good. I toyed with buying one for twice, or even three times as much, and finally decided to just buy it.

And you know what? It really is a bargain. I used it to clean gunk out of difficult to reach corners, to get out stains in my textured laminate kitchen floor that no amount of scrubbing would reach, to remove baked-on stains on my oven that simply wouldn't come out with abrasive pads and soap, to clean grout, and a dozen other previously impossible tasks. Not only that, but it comes with six different attachments, all of which are very useful.

Is it perfect? No. A larger water capacity would be nice. So would a larger mop attachment, and some extra mops. But given the low price, the quality, and how well it works, it's a bargain.

WOW - Awesome Steamer
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...

Excellent Steamer - and a Great Buy
Get this steamer if you want a solid, well-made product. The only thing wrong I've found so far is difficulty believing that a product of this quality can be purchased for just 20 bucks. It feels good in the hand, heats up quickly, delivers nice hard blasts of steam without spitting, and comes with quality accessories for a variety of applications. You can get the grime out of little places with the pointy nozzle, scrub things with a brush head, and even clean grimy windows with the squeegee attachment. This unit uses high quality plastics where it makes sense (the body, the handle, nozzles) and metal where it is appropriate (steamer core, cap, parts of nozzles). The electrical cord is thick and obviously built to take abuse, the body has a solid metal inner core, there is a sturdy threaded cap with a metal insert, the outlet has dual neoprene O-rings to seal the steam path from core to nozzle and a positive lock system so the nozzles don't pop off. I am frankly amazed at the...

Steamfast SF-370 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner



Perfect so far! (Will update)
This steam cleaner was purchased, initially, to clean the metal bars of a bird cage so we don't have to take the entire cage apart once a week, fill the bath tub, soak it, scrub it, put it back together.

5/8/13
It just arrived today and so far I've cleaned a grimy, wooden, outside windowsill, the grout in my shower and the build up around the base of the faucet and water knobs of my bathroom sink. It cleaned them perfectly and quickly. After cleaning them you just wipe the area with a cloth or if you're outside, spray it down with the hose to run the dirt off.

I filled the tank and waited about 5 minutes for the unit to heat up. I was using the "jet" attachment and it seemed to work really well. The only thing I noticed was that if you set the nozzle/handle down for a little and then go back to use it again, you get a little spurt of mist/water. It didn't bother me at all and doesn't cause any problems but for cleaning some things it might be bad to have...

great product
arrived on time. worked great to clean my shower. got off soap scum, hard water, and mildew. nylon bristle brush was destroyed by the end, but i have other brushes i can use -no problem. water tank lasts a long time, hose is long, cord is long enough. very good purchase.

Great for Mold
It has really helped to get rid of mold in the bathroom. I have only used it once but it did a great job.
