Steam cleaner (steam generator)

Alexa-ha, you are making the right choice. My sister and I saved money, bought a Boman and now we don't know where to get brushes for him. And for two families we exploit it quite strongly, one brush is already completely tattered. But the steam engine itself is good, comfortable and not expensive. Brushes would only be bought for him.

Questions will naturally be. Come on ?!

Chamomile1 thanks for your approval. Now that I know for sure that I am going the right path to the appointed goal.

Girls, tell me more, is Karcher 1020 very noisy?

not noisy at all, I usually wash everything at night and have not woken anyone up yet. That is, it is not silent, but quiet enough.

Thanks for the answer.

Just now, the floors were soaping and cleaning the carpet with a furniture attachment. The floor washes very quietly and the furniture nozzle is noisier. In general, the noise level depends on the tip.
I also have a clathronic jug, so it is much louder - there is a thinner nozzle, and it kind of whistles slightly.

I continue to sing the praises of Karcher.
In my nursery there is a small carpet with a short pile, I always combed the cat's hair out of it with a clothes brush for a long time and tediously, and the vacuum cleaner does not really collect wool. The other day I tried to hit the carpet with a karcher with a furniture brush and in 2 minutes I combed out hair and wool from the carpet. Hair, by the way, was not visible on the carpet at all, but he got them out of there ... I can't imagine how he does it.
The mop is cool, it will climb under furniture on low legs, where I could not reach with a regular mop.
It turned out to be a very justified purchase, I use it almost as often as I use a multicooker. Only one thing overshadows why I took without an iron ?! I was recently given a test karcher with an iron (1030), I am absolutely delighted! I ironed the curtains, which I could not iron normally with an ordinary iron. I ironed everything that I found in the house, even for some reason ironed kitchen towels (of course I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't stop). The only caveat: in my 1020, when the water runs out, you can release the pressure with a gun and immediately fill in new water. And at 1030, with the iron, I had to wait until it cooled down to add new water. And if at 1020 I usually have 1 liter of water to wash the floor in the whole apartment, then for a large ironing 1 liter was not enough for me, I had to take a break for cooling and heating.
In general, now I want not just a karcher with an iron, but a karcher with an iron and the ability to add water in the process. ... and rumba ... where to get money for all this
Aleksa-ha, you asked about the length of the cord and hose - I didn’t measure it, but the length is enough for me, the only thing is that when I washed the walls in the bathroom, I had to put the steam cleaner on the stool to reach the ceiling, just a few centimeters of the hose were not enough.

I used the iron several times in my life: on September 1, at the prom, and when I ironed new curtains. Since then, the wireless Panasonic has been gathering dust on the shelf for N years, my mother bought me another one - it is not even unpacked. With the advent of the steam cleaner, I began to iron the upper part of the jeans (sometimes), but more because of self-indulgence, when the water needs to be worked out. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

P. Pendurina excellent detailed report. I don't seem to need an iron, but I would really like to steam the curtains and tulle by weight. the girls have already written that everything worked out for them with a hand brush with a cloth on an elastic band.
In general, initially, the primary task was to steam the curtains after washing by weight. I started looking at steamers, but I was not impressed with any of them. I went to read a thread about steam cleaners and came across rave reviews about Karcher 1020.Bigger, of course, in size, but if he conscientiously copes with the tasks assigned to him, then I will definitely find a place for such an assistant for him. My husband squeals that there is no longer where to put my Wishlist, but as she said that carpets can be cleaned and updated, he immediately caught fire with the opportunity to clean the upholstery on the doors and on the seats of the car. And when there are more like-minded people, then the question in favor of the purchase is much easier to solve. Especially since my birthday is soon, so he (my husband) will certainly not refuse such a gift.

Alexa-ha. check with your Kecher representative. They had birthday discounts. Somewhere girls wrote in the subject. Maybe wait a little and buy at a discount? Moreover, you will have it soon.

I have already asked them about a discount, a discount is provided for more expensive goods such as car washes, vacuum cleaners and others. As I saw the action "birthday discount", I rolled it out ... They are not being honest. If a discount is announced, then I think it should be done to all birthday people, and not on a specific group of goods.

You try to call their central office and clarify. If they have representation here, then they must be centrally subordinate.
I had a story with Mr. Enter. As a gift for March 8, I ordered a floor dryer for my mother. It is inconvenient in size, you can't get into the autoline to get it from the market. On holiday, delivery was declared free. I called them on a multichannel number. Confirmed that yes, free shipping. And they arrived and began to demand money for delivery. In short, we call the multi-channel again, we figured it out. The courier has already undertaken to call and he was confirmed. They did not take money for delivery, but it was not very pleasant.
Maybe here, too, in Keher. You just need to clarify, if they are not a representative office, but dealers, then perhaps their rules are natural. And the parent organization is not a decree to them.

Aleksa-ha, I didn’t steam the curtains, I ironed on the board. To be honest, I don't have such curtains to steam off by weight. I did not remove stains from the carpet, only combed out wool and hair. But I could not remove the stain from dirty feet from the sofa.
I also want to clean the upholstery in the car, but I don’t know where to find an outlet near the car, I’ll not reach the apartment.
Karcher I mainly wash the floors and everything around the stove. And also a refrigerator and batteries, but this is less common.
Honestly, it is best to test before buying so that there are no overestimated expectations. And then I am delighted, but I gave it to a relative to try, and he said that garbage ...

Yes, the fact of the matter is that I have no one to take for testing, but in the Karcher store they did not offer me, but she was too shy to ask.

And in the store they will not let you turn on with water. There you can immediately see whether it is new or used; after the first use, the brass thread on the lid darkens. And it’s not interesting in the store what to steam there?
And we must be prepared that it will not remove stains (although dry cleaning does not remove everything either), and that the car interior will not make it new, etc.
IMHO the advantages of a karcher are that it is easier, faster and cleaner for them to wash the floors than with a mop and that you can buy consumables for it (there are all kinds of brushes), and you can steam the curtains ... you can probably use a jug, which is 3 times smaller and 5 times cheaper, you don’t do it every day (I’m theorizing if that).
I bought it for the sake of cleaning the floors. I have linoleum at home, partly new, partly Soviet. On the new linoleum, the work of the device is not particularly visible, but on the Soviet one, it is very noticeable. The first few times the rag was straight black from 5 sq. m., despite the fact that I wash myself constantly (my youngest child does not walk yet, it is hosh-nehosh, but it is necessary to wash)

I read the whole topic .. I asked a bunch of questions .. nobody has any complaints about Karcher, buy it! if finances allow .. as I understand it, the leftist does not supply .. (I really want to .. but only got a job): girl_sad: not yet on korman ..

P. Pendurina yesterday called the Karcher city center. I asked about the demonstration of the product, so they answered me positively. They said "we will show and tell everything," we will test the windows and floors with a steam cleaner. Only this model is not currently available, delivery is expected this week or next. As soon as the product I am interested in arrives, they promised to contact me. This attitude is very captivating and favorably disposed towards this company (Karcher).

Indeed, you were lucky with the seller .... But for 2 months I have been calling the store myself (the official representative of Karcher) and wondering - is there a model I need? And still I can’t find her: it’s not yet, then it’s already gone ..... Somehow it has already burned out with the purchase .... It's a shame!

Lilia, what is stopping you from ordering this model in an Internet store 🔗.? As far as I know, delivery is free for the regions if the purchase amount is from 4999 rubles. Will be delivered within 5-7 working days. The guarantee is official, and if suddenly (God forbid) something, then contact them via the hotline and they will send a courier to you for further transportation of the goods to the service center. And from the SC, similarly, the goods will return to your home with a courier. A minimum of hassle and running around.

Lily has another option. On the Karcher website, leave a request for the reservation of the desired product with the note that as soon as it appears in the Karcher store in your city, you should also be contacted to transfer it to you with further payment. This reserve is valid for 2 days, if you did not come for it, then they cannot guarantee that it will be waiting for you.

[Alexa ha]

Alexa ha , thank you for information! I really liked the second option. Perhaps I will. And I will happiness Karcher!

Lily, what model did they put their eyes on? inject!

Alla, I rushed for a long time between models 1020, 1030 and a jug ..... Reading this topic, I decided to take 1020. And yesterday I returned to the store, and it is in stock!
So you gotta rush, buy before you get ahead

Of course, rush! I am sure that this time you will be lucky and you will return home with a new assistant. Well, then God himself ordered us to come to us with a report and impressions of this device. Moreover, I'm not the only one so interested in Karcher 1020. If possible, then with a photo before and after cleaning surfaces. We look forward to meeting you!

Has anyone bought a set of round brushes in the amount of 4 pieces for Karcher 1020? Where are they attached to extension tubes or hose? And if you can take a photo, what it looks like and a review on these brushes. Thank you in advance.

I bought Karcher 1020 yesterday! He waited for me!
I also wanted to immediately buy a steaming attachment (for textiles?), But it was not available. Who uses it, how convenient is it? Can crumpled jackets-trousers be smoothed with it?

Has anyone bought a set of round brushes in the amount of 4 pieces for Karcher 1020?

Alla, why are these brushes needed?

One such small round brush is included in the basic set when purchasing Karcher. She is very mobile. A set of four ---- 2 with red bristles and 2 with black. For washing, for example, plumbing (one color) and for the kitchen (another) + in reserve. There are exactly the same, but with brass bristles - for oven grates, etc. (durable surfaces). This is not included in the main kit. Fits on both extension tubes and pistols

Lilia, congratulations on such a great purchase. Let it serve faithfully for the benefit of your family and home.

Svetlana thanks for the answer. These round brushes can also be used to clean the toilet bowl and toilet room. thus differentiate by color: red for the bath, black for the toilet and another black for the kitchen. I think this is very convenient. I decided not to wait for my birthday (October 13) and order earlier, and then as soon as it comes. I will order at the office. Karcher website with add. round brush heads. Testing is no longer so important, since you all say with one voice that this is a very cool thing in the household. I washed the bathroom today, scrubbed the mold in the seams and caught myself thinking that the software would be much faster and more pleasant than "rub, rub, rub ... rinsed the rag and again rub, rub, rub."
Svetlana, do you have 4 such things?
And please tell me how you cleaned the switches and sockets, was it not scary to do such a trick?
How will he deal with mold?

Switches and sockets - great without detergents. First, I blew out dust with a point nozzle. And then she walked with a small brush. Nothing bad happened. I wrote somewhere --- we do the very first zilch on the floor or sink. There will be some water. Then comes the normal steam. Strongly ingrained mold --- only with a special product for the first time. Then, do not start - periodically walk through problem areas. Detergent is no longer needed. I kind of have no mold. Is that sometimes a little near the rim of the bathroom. So it took without detergent. And my friend - apparently where she was fresh - wiped herself off. And on the old she smeared the whiteness. And after a while she walked with a brush and steam. And there are a lot of remedies for mold on sale now. Perhaps they are more effective than whiteness

4 things no. But there is one more. Was a gift. So far 2 is enough. 1 - bathroom toilet. 2-kitchen and everything else

Good evening. Thanks to the forum, I also became the owner of Karcher 1020. I ordered it from the officer. store from Karcher for 4990 r, and bought in your house for 4590 r + in the same place they took a set of 4 brushes, cheaper than elsewhere. Today I laundered a kitchen apron (tile), an extractor hood, a lid from the stove. There was also a place on the table where there was oil, I washed it. I washed the floors: linoleum-parquet-laminate, everything is quick and clean. No more water than washing with a rag. The parquet is old, but restored. If you have not washed the floors for 3 days, then a black path appears, which can only be washed with a brush. And today everything was clean in 5 minutes. Along with their microfiber, I also used White Cat floor rags. I am very pleased !!!

xoxotyshka! With your assistant! May it bring joy and save energy and time! :

Svetochka thank you. I got it. What a smart girl you are, you help everyone with whatever you can.

Galina with a new assistant. Keep the house clean and enjoyable.

Girls, thanks for the congratulations! Cleaning today was a success. She laundered what my hands did not want to reach at all.

Girls, good evening! I am reading this Temko from the bushes. Explain, please, to the teapot: Karcher - is it instead of a vacuum cleaner or together?

gala10! Good evening! Karcher is a steam cleaner. He blows out steam. He instead of rags, basins, household chemicals. He has nothing to do with vacuum cleaners

Alexa-ha! Allochka! Thank you! embarrassed me!

gala10! Good evening! Karcher is a steam cleaner. He blows out steam. He instead of rags, basins, household chemicals. He has nothing to do with vacuum cleaners

That is, both a vacuum cleaner and a steam cleaner ... But judging by what you write here, the thing is necessary ...

Galina! It does not absorb water. Just washes with hot steam under high pressure

Thanks for the answer!

Sveta, in my opinion you have a nozzle for the windows. How do you use it, the right thing, and did you get love with her "the first time"?

Well, I ordered everything now Karcher 1020 with round brushes. Now I will wait.

I just bought a separate nozzle for washing the windows. In the room and in the hallway there are built-in fully mirrored wardrobes. I use it mainly for them! First, I walk with a nozzle with steam, then I turn off the steam and just walk with a nozzle (I collect water from top to bottom), periodically wiping a rubber scraper from the water with a dry cloth - so there will be no streaks. It is not very convenient to collect water at the very bottom of the mirror. There I just wipe the "white cat" with microfiber. The same is on the windows. You just have to get used to it. At the beginning I was disappointed with this attachment, and then everything went with a bang! Maybe someone does not wipe the scraper with a rag while working ---- but I still have stains! And with wiping everything is ok!

But I do not see an urgent need to buy a window attachment. (In my case, this is just a forced necessity.) It is enough to have a good microfiber cloth. You can walk on the glass with a steam nozzle with a cloth on an elastic band - to collect dirt. And then microfiber.

Why use a steam cleaner to wash the switch socket? There is moisture, will it short-circuit? IMHO, it is easier to wipe with a cotton swab with alcohol.
I liked washing the multicooker with a steam cleaner. The lid washes perfectly, after washing the TEN I had to wait until everything was dry. I have no idea how to wash the drip tray any other way.
And limescale is poorly removed, it is easier to wipe the special. means. But the urinary stone removes with a bang

By the way, I didn’t buy a window head, I just use a microfiber cloth.

My relatives took to use the Karcher and lost the attachment on which a small brush is put on (which are black and red), they bought me another instead, but it turned out to be better than my own, it has a longer nose and you can climb into the battery (my own did not fit). A smart upgrade turned out, I'll try to insert a photo of the nozzle tomorrow, if anyone is interested.

Interesting, of course! We are waiting for the photo!

Girls, how do you wash the sealing gum on the profile on the windows and those that are laid along the perimeter of the glass? Does the software harm them? And what are the best attachments to use?
