All in one steam cleaner or the ones that dont do it all

[csab]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of which steam cleaner to buy, I am a bit hesitant on which one to buy as ive had one years ago that was for the floor only but sold it as i was wanting one that did everything.

Yet I have been told by some people that the all in one steam cleaners arent as good as the ones that dont do everything. So whats your experience and your recommendations?

I dont want to end up with a dodgy product. lol.

Thanks in advance.

I got one from Ebay the other week $50 plus postage. it is red. It was one of those as seen on TV ones. It works really well. Have used it everywhere.

Is it the all in one one? I had looked at the ones on ebay too, yet I was a bit worried at buying one in case it turned out to be a waste of money. Im glad it is working for you and doing a great job. Thanks

Yeah it is a steam mop, then the main section detaches and becomes a hand held unit, and it has 11 attachments.

The only thing i found was that it said 700ml tank on it, but mine only seems to hold 500ml. But no biggie.

Ohh ok, what a shame about the level of water it takes though. Do you get sink and tired of refilling? How long have you noticed when cleaning you need to refill? Does your one leave water on the floor when mopping?

I only seem to fill it more when using the hand held unit. I have a heap of floor area and general mopping i only need to do it once if it hasn't been mopped in a while. And nope it doesn't leave water on the floor. Yes the floor is wet when you mop but not overly and dries within minutes.

Astrolady - do you know the brand? so we can search Ebay for it.

Thanks Astro.

I ended up seeing the new green H20 x5 steam mop on telly today, the one from danoz, and decided on that one. lol. Came with a free vaccuum cleaner. Instead of waiting the 6wks though went to the store and bought it there so I could try it out today. lol. weeks is far to long to wait for a new toy.
I am actually pleasantly surprised, the vaccuum works really well and the steam mop does too. Doesnt leave any water on the floor. Yet Astro as you mentioned the water capacity could be a bit better, but hey doesnt take long to fill up and off cleaning again as it doesnt take long to heat up.
Might even keep you posted on how this goes with other projects around the house. lol.
