Steam cleaner (steam generator)

[Valyushechka]

Valyushechka, Thank you. You can't catch all the rabbits in the sky. I will solve the primary problems, and then it will be possible to swing at the steam station (sorry, poor upbringing, accustomed to the sight of ironed bed linen and cotton T-shirts, despite scientific research). Although by that time, it may still be invented.

Girls, my pink elephant has arrived! Yesterday I only mastered reading the instructions for celebrating my husband's diploma defense. Somehow I didn’t want to overshadow the holiday with troubles, even long-awaited and exploratory ones. He wouldn't understand. The instructions say that pouring hot water is not recommended in order to avoid deformation, etc., etc. Now everything itches for me from the desire to try it in action. And then sit at work, work work.

Girls, it's time for my first report on the work done (a small part of it). After long and, as usual, painful thoughts, I acquired Kromach 801. I was very worried, as the reviews about its use are contradictory. I don't want to be in the category of those who regretted purchasing it. In order. On the first day, when the box was unpacked, the smell from the plastic parts was still the same. On the second, I hardly felt it. Burr-free extension cords and nozzles (no sanding required). Gather on the locks tightly. There is a slight backlash when you place the barbell in the socket of the device itself to steam clothes. But this is not critical.
I threw him into battle on an atypical task for steam generators: steaming clothes. From the reviews there was hope, but not confidence that he would cope. For the experiment, a dress made of mixed fabric was chosen and (we do not like easy ways) 100% cotton my and children's skirts, dresses, topic.
In part of the structure, I could not figure out how clothespins are attached to fasten skirts and trousers. But I felt that it is very convenient to hang a steam gun on the holder in between things.
It is necessary to adapt to the regulation of the steam supply. With weak steam, light tissues, almost dry, are smoothed. Cotton, of course, needs to soar stronger, things are wetter. But steaming a skirt with pockets, drawstring and elastic bands, which I always put on the board when ironing with an iron, holding the elastic band in a stretched state with my knee impressed me.
Probably the quality of ironing is not comparable with a steam station, there is a slight bruise on some cotton things (the result depends on their quality), but if you get into the car in the morning in ironed clothes, then the result is identical upon leaving it. I will continue to experiment further. Dilution of dirt in the kitchen and on the windows should be done on weekends. The husband demands to steam the sofa (he suspects dust mites there).
P / S / when I was driving home, it was 33 degrees in the shade. It was thought that the weather was not the best for experiments with steaming. But nothing, it is quite possible to live next to him. A hand in a special mitten sweats more.

[Alenka212]

Alenka212, I, too, have not once been able to put on clothespins. In fact, it turned out to be very simple: the first step - we put on a clothespin as if we were hanging it on a clothesline, squeezing it by the ends, the second step - on the contrary, we spread the ends of it, then put it on deeper.

[Maria]

Maria, and the stand for the holder also dances? Can I wind the duct tape there?

Well, it wiggles a little ... but not enough to pay attention to it. At the bottom it is inserted quite tightly, but if it were fixed in the lid (where the folding round) was also fixed, it would be even better.You can tie a stick-holder to a chair

I agree, happiness is not in sticks. I put clothes on for two days. I'm waiting for the weekend to continue the experiment (if the garden-garden does not suck in with such heat).There is already a corrector in the bag, so that you can mark the reference point for metering the steam supply on the regulator handle.

Elena, thanks for the steaming report. Having studied the whole Temka herself, she left the choice on Kromax, the reviews were also embarrassing, because I liked that he cleans up and steams, and in the presence of a small child, this is very important until I decided to purchase, but very I will wait for the operation reports. The sofa and carpets also come first.

[Slastena]

Slastena , The sofa and the carpets are sometimes washed by Thomas, but I want to try them together. I will report from time to time.

[Wasp,]

Wasp, Is this cleaning method suitable for our elephant?

I can only suggest pouring 1 part vinegar / 5-7 parts water into the tank in a consistency and boil in the tank. Then unplug and let stand for 3-5 hours. Then drain it and rinse the reservoir with clean water.

Distilling is confusing, so she poured boiled water, but in terms of characteristics it is incomparable. I'm afraid of the scale ...

Distilled to get confused

My husband in a car shop buys a package of 4 X5L canisters, they are enough for me for a long time.

[Stafa]

Stafa, thanks, I'll take a look.

It is difficult to get the distillate, so I poured boiled water, but by its characteristics it is incomparable. I'm afraid of the scale ...

I haven't tried it with vinegar - I'm the first to run out of the house from the smell. Citric acid seems to be a little stronger, I was convinced of this on a teapot, which was many years old, there were whole canyons in cracked stone layers. She alternately boiled with a spoonful of citric acid and washed off the white loose powder with a washcloth, into which the ginger scale turned. The last layers simply dissolved and partially remained sand at the bottom. After 4 days the kettle was as good as new!
The steam cleaner has never been cleaned yet - my water is soft according to the hardness test, which is very happy. Even in the kettle nothing has grown in a year. By the way, my Odyssey does not have all the water pouring out, there is some kind of tricky geometry of the tank

And I have canyons in my teapot .... After three filters.

I didn't find Expert, but I found Saturn. Not the same, but similar in principle 🔗

there is such a Saturn in the Epicenter 169 UAH. In white and cherry color
And Expert only at Epicenter is their brand

A Expert only at Epicenter

And the Epicenter is only in Ukraine ...

And the Epicenter is only in Ukraine ...

Yes unfortunately

And the Epicenter is only in Ukraine ...

From found the problem ...
Pancake makers Orion were also only in Ukraine ... And now, in an unknown way, they appeared with hostesses all over Russia!

I have both Saturn (bought at Auchan) and Expert (bought at Epicenter). More convenient and faster Saturn - I love him very much. The Expert has a number of inconveniences for me: it is heavier, the steam goes inconsistently and with less pressure, sometimes it spits, there are creases on the clothes. But the Expert can iron both horizontally and vertically, and Saturn can only vertically.

But the Expert can iron both horizontally and vertically, and Saturn can only vertically.

this is the main advantage for me in Expert
I did not notice that the Expert was spitting water - if you turn on the steam after the red indicator went out, then it does not seem to spit - but I have it for 2 days only
Well, the fact that the Expert is heavier than Saturn - he has a power of 1.5 kW versus 1 kW - due to this it is also heavier

Thanks for the review with the unit comparison

And thank you irysska

[HELP girls]

HELP girls
I probably have some kind of defect in my valve ..... passes steam through it, and does not fix anything .................. that's a kapets .....
And two months have not passed since I was using Karcher 1030. Well, why not so lucky ??
Can someone tell me something or have it already taken to the service ??

Maybe this is due to clogging of the steam outlet channels with scale? Call the center.

I called today, they said ... that it is better to go to the center, tomorrow I will call and ask ... so they will say to bring ... again time is running out ...

And now you are left without a steam generator and an iron?

Yes .................... that's how "lucky"

I, after one fine moment flew Bosch - MUM and remained like that old woman, I prefer to have everything in separate units.

Not ..... I have an old iron ........ I wrote that I left without that iron ..... but I also have everything in separate parts, thank God

I just compare with our service center, that if there is a part, then it's good, but if not, then order, and this time ....... it's a pity to wait so much

While the guarantee, in fact, are obliged to issue a similar device for the time it is in the service. Find out about this point, we have Khy working!

A similar device is unlikely ...

and demand. What is written in the law for consumers there?

Yes, I think maybe the valve itself will be changed, but if the rubber bands, then this is absolutely garbage ........ let's see what they say

[Wasp]

Notes for those interested in Kromax.
In the first lines, a tremendous thanks to the discoverer Wasp for the tips. The clothespins were really dressed (it was just scary to break). After the clothes I tried to clean the stove, the dirt flew out even from where cleanliness was meant. By the way, the attachments are easily changed. I liked that the little ones are all in the building, always at hand.
The barbecue grill was specially dried for the experiment. It was boring to hover every wire, but what an effect, like from a store.
And what a charm that the device is 2 in 1 when you use it around the house. Osa applied her know-how, placed a clothes holder on top of a shortened stand: it is so convenient to hang a gun during breaks (when something needs to be moved or distracted). Do not attach anywhere!
Further, I was not enough, as the heat is wild. The device is operational, this is the main thing. Then it gets colder, I'll figure it out.

[Alenka212]

Alenka212, I'm glad that everything worked out! You really wonder how so much dirt can collect through the cracks. I wanted to wash the floors yesterday, but regretted the air conditioner, and it's hot without it. I limited myself to a manual steam bath and 10 minutes of disinfection in the bathroom. It gets a little colder, I'll go around the house

🔗

Girls, I've been looking at PG for a long time. The choice fell on Kromax. But I can't decide on the 801 or 901 model? I am interested in x, b shirts - can they be steamed to a decent look or, except for an iron, there is nothing to cope with this? And yet, in 801, 8 bars are declared. That's not a lot? Are the seams between tiles not collapsing?

[Irisska]

Irisska, in my opinion, pure cotton shirts iron on an average pair, but the temperature is a little lacking. Compared to an iron, I ironed T-shirts at 180 ° C with strong steam. And if you compare in appearance some time after lying / hanging in the closet, then the difference is not very noticeable. Although it looks like the material itself is wrinkled in texture.But all sorts of pockets, buttons, zippers and the fabric around them will be smooth without any effort There used to be a cool iron with a Teflon coating, but it was scratched just on the rivets and zippers on jeans, and the work was in vain ... And now with a steam cleaner any embroidery, a picture with glued sequins, bugles and beads I iron - class! The drawing is not made flat, the glitter does not come off, there is no need to lay down wet gauze and iron it from the inside out!

It cleans the seams between the tiles, but I don't twist the steam at full power. If there are old paint bloopers on the tiles, it'll blow away! It is better to wash whitewashed walls, painted doors and the like at half pressure or from a distance of several centimeters, otherwise the coating will tear off.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! My hands are already itching to order.We also plan to clean sofas and carpets. I hope that this will not be a problem.
Does the 801 have an arrowhead attachment on the trousers?

[Irisska]

Irisska, I'm just learning (my 801 is only a week old and the heat does not allow me to use it to its fullest). She hovered only twice. need to adjust. First, the cotton shka is different. One goes with a bang, but with the second it is necessary to mess around longer. I liked my size soaring. Daughters' 20 cm cotton skirts without bells and whistles or big, even husband's T-shirts, I can quickly stretch it out with an iron. But when folds, pockets, assemblies, etc., there is no equal to him. And in terms of quality, I already wrote a couple of pages earlier.
I did not expect a miracle, but the possibility of purchasing a 2 in1 device suits me at the moment. Purely for clothes, you can read about steam brushes.

Yes, I read everything. There are many negative reviews on the quality of the attachments, they say, many break. Of course, I don't expect a miracle either, but because of my husband's shirts I don't want to buy a steamer, because washing and cleaning the kitchen is my first priority. So I wanted to combine.

You can break anything. It scared me too. But the plastic on them is not thin. They dress normally like. And the fact that the Wasp came up with a pistol on a steaming rack just come up with shine.

I have another question, can I attach a towel to the mop head? otherwise the site says just a mop head, and 901 has a mop head with polymer bristles with clamps for a towel for cleaning floors. And about the nozzle for the trousers arrows - in the 801 it is not? Excuse me for bothering you so much, it's just that I already have many assistants, but there is not enough space. I don’t want to stand idle later. I recently bought an electric broom, and I am already choosing a gas generator. The husband is already nervous
And yet, you have already tried the 801 at work, as an impression, do you need a higher temperature at a lower steam pressure, like the 901?

Sorry for the quality, I'll find the original - I'll show it. About a cloth for the floor, microfiber 30 * 30cm:


There is a jug for a higher temperature, but it cannot work continuously, which is annoying.

I recently bought an electric broom, and I am already choosing a gas generator. The husband is already nervous

We are all like that. I recently bought ......, ....., Kromakh, and now I choose a steam brush for travel (business trip, vacation). Not only my husband, I'm nervous myself

When choosing, I liked the ability to adjust the pressure from weak almost dry to powerful wet steam. It is for cleaning various surfaces. And there are many different attachments. In the future, the kit can be purchased.
And for perfect ironing of all types (bedding, outerwear and light clothes, curtains), you still can't kill all the rabbits with one device. Ideally, the steam cleaner is separate, and for ironing there is a good powerful steam station with vertical steam, blow, etc. But then the total price of these devices will be 4 tons. r., and 4t. p. + from 8t. R. Such arithmetic. Therefore, while I bought Kromakh, I wrote down a steam station (after the robot).

And how, ksatati, electric broom? Does sand collect?

People who have Karcher try

give!

Masha, this is an argument for buying you need to show your half, I don't like to cook fish, especially river fish, I don't like to clean, can look and immediately buy

Abaldet. I thought, does Karcher do it with cold water? Just hot. as if not necessary. As the salmon ends in the freezer and I buy a new one, I will suggest my husband to try a car wash.

So in the video was a Karcher sink, not a steam cleaner.

Yeah, I see ... So we take the idea into service. Damn, even though it's urgent for salmon, but I still have
