Steam cleaner (steam generator)

How much water is that? It is simply poured into the container, and I start to soar when the indicator starts to light, that is, the pressure should be normal.
I have odyssey q-801.
The steam is good at first, but the pressure drops very quickly and water flows. I just expected that it would soar for a few minutes, but then a steam boost comes out and then I have to wait again. After washing the floor (6 sq. M.), I changed the rags 3 times and wrung them out all the time.

And you do not accidentally pour water to the eyeballs?

The fact is that it is not advisable to fill the container completely .. there should be a place in the container for "generating" steam ... and more .. after you have worked a little steam generator (in an intensive mode of steam supply) it may well be such that a new "batch" of steam simply did not have time to form - especially if there is more water in the container than 2/3 ...

I have the same odysseus. Have you tried to turn on steam at full capacity? I also noticed that when the green light is on, the pressure is higher. I deliberately wait for the light to turn on, in heavily soiled places and very slowly, as if with laziness, start to steam. Does your lid scroll 2 clicks?

Yes, the steam is at full capacity, the water is not "to the eyeballs", but I don't know the lid, I just screw it on and that's it, I didn't count.
If you have an odyssey, then approximately how long do you use steam, that is, how long does the green light burn?

Omela, and this is how ??? Ferry to the freezer and mustache? won't it hurt the fridge?

Marina, the ferry to the "fur coat" for a few seconds and a mustache. Then she can be easily removed herself. As for the damage, I don't know, I've been doing this for a long time, and many girls too.

I did not notice how long the light is on, but I will definitely pay attention. And try to push the lid and turn it a few more times. After closing, it seems to me that the top of the lid moves freely, how is it better to explain how it starts to scroll.

Yes, for me, too, this is such a mechanism as "child protection", on some drugs they do this, in order to open, you first need to push down, and from above the lid scrolls.

Then I don’t know. Maybe you’re married ..... I have dry steam, even sometimes I would like it to be more moisturized. When I steamed the wallpaper on the floor, there weren't even puddles, only a few smudges on the wall.

Girls! The higher the pressure, the higher the humidity of the steam in the Odyssey, and accordingly more water is poured onto your floor. And of course the steam quickly ends, the light goes out, and a new one needs to be generated again. I wash my laminate on low steam pressure.In this case, the cloth becomes only damp and is removed exclusively for rinsing, not wringing out.
Try to work with different pressures for different households. operations and understand where to turn on which pair.
Since the regulator on it scrolls from min to max several times, I marked the beginning with a white corrector when the pair is off. And I'm guided by the label.
The same is true for steaming clothes. Light synthetic fabrics are steamed with almost dry steam at low pressure, and if the fabric is thicker (for example, a denim dress), then I increase the pressure slightly, but not for the whole. Otherwise it will be wet.
For windows, steam is stronger than for laminate, but also not for the whole. Otherwise a lot of water will flow.

Good evening, can you please tell me what detergents can be used in the steam cleaner? I have an odyssey - 409, a jug.

[in]

exactly in PG itself nothing except water is not poured ...

There is a container for the detergent, it is fed and mixed with steam for better cleaning, but which one should be used was not specified

You will not find a single person in this thread. which fills the steam generator with anything other than water ... well, maybe only "distilled water" or boiled water .. that's it ...

And then why is he at all? As for the water and steam, I figured it out, I liked the unit, I thought to figure it out with the detergent, not destiny, I will look for information, it's interesting ...

: yahoo: Oh people, I finally bought it -kercher sc1.020. Well, the first sofa is next in line, after my little daughter I can't look at it anymore, I hope that the smell will go away.

[Marina]

Marina, I would not have pinned such hopes at this point in time. The fact is that now everything will dry for a very long time and you just set up a "steam room" in the room, because you will have to work hard to clean such "contaminants", and at least once or twice fill the tank with water - if you want to clean the sofa to "perfect condition"! If you have a private house, be patient until summer and leave the entire procedure for cleaning the sofa until summer - it is better to do it outside.

I beg you, if anyone has a similar DeFort DSC-1200 steam cleaner, write what it is, whether it can clean the sofa, whether it can handle the carpet, and how it will behave with fat, let's say to steam the oven, I want to order it, but I doubt it. reviews are very few, the price is 1500r.

Thanks for the advice, of course I got excited with the sofa, I forgot that winter is outside, but I tried the bathroom all the same: the beauty, of course, washed all the corners. the main thing is without chemistry (I have an allergy to it, then I go sneeze), Tomorrow I'll try something else.

She became the owner of Karcher about a month ago and so far I have tested only on the stove and hood. With upholstered furniture, I understand it is not the season, but advise on cleaning the bathroom. Will the plaque be removed from the tile?

The tile washes perfectly. I have an old tile, and it was washed. And the tap, and the shower, and the tiles, and the bath. All soaps. And in the kitchen I perfectly washed the countertop, tiles and stove. Now I want to carry out a test on the carpet and sofa. At least slightly.

And also a question, is it possible to clean the refrigerator with a steam cleaner?

I also have karcher sc1.020 software. I can't get enough of him. On the first day, when I bought it and tried to clean it, he made me so happy that I couldn’t fall asleep at night :-) I got up at 1 o'clock in the morning and went to clean the bathroom for them :-)) I cleaned until 3, then happy to go to bed :-))
She washed the windows and all the mirrors, and even the furniture not in the kitchen, but in the bedroom. I have a huge sliding wardrobe up to the ceiling with the letter G. So I used to stand on a stepladder, wipe the door at the top. And now the floor is whack-whack and the whole wardrobe is clean :-))
The carpet (on the floor) just changed before our eyes. I washed the parquet, everything is SUPER !!!
Aged fat and stale stone deposits do not take the PO from the first try. You first need to do a good job, make an effort, put everything in order, and then once a week or two (who knows how), using this software, just keep the house clean.But I immediately cleaned them, for example, pipes in hard-to-reach places, where my hand could not get through. The batteries and the wall behind the radiators were very well cleaned. Where I could not get through before.
Plastic ceilings washed perfectly. I even cleaned the seams between the plastic strips. About kitchen furniture, about the stove, about the extractor hood and the floor, I generally keep quiet. Once a week, in 20 minutes, I process all this with a bang! :-)) Cabinets on top and a facade.
Software is a great thing!

[marisabelka]

marisabelka, I was cleaning. Everything is fine!

Girls (who recently bought Karcher) for how much they bought interesting? I did it for 4670 rubles. I wanted a cheaper Chinese one, but blessing the birthday soon and not pay for delivery. So I bought it (I read the same topics and I needed it, especially in the house a cat and a dog). Now I brought it home, tried it a little - the carpet, the battery, the window sill - the rags turned a little gray, very little, maybe it was necessary to set the maximum steam, and I at the minimum, but everything was dry at once. I wanted to ask how hot your pistol-grip is, mine is quite hot, although you can hold it. And after draining the water, you need to keep it with an open plug to dry?

I bought on Thursday in Merlin for 4900, were at the Start for 4600, but unfortunately ran out. I cleaned the batteries for them today, so much dust and dirt was blown out of there, and my husband was running around, I tell him this is my toy, go to your play: girl_blum: And at the expense of the gun: the gun seems to be normal, but the hose is so hot.

how much did you buy interesting? I did it for 4670 rubles.

Probably there are different prices in different cities? In Krasnodar, they are in Leroy for 4720 rubles.
My gun is not hot at all. And I clean everything with maximum steam.

Girls, thanks! The prices are certainly different, but I found 5590 in Moscow online stores, in our city it is 5890. And by chance I found 4990 in one store, and there was also a discount on the store card - so I was delighted. Girls, another question, what kind of warranty card do you have? I have a little piece of paper in German and that's it. And warranty centers are not listed anywhere at all

I have a large paper, folded three times, it turned out to be a notebook page somewhere with the logo of the company, the serial number is written there, etc., as well as the services of all cities. The store has put its stamp there

It's the same for me.

I do not have such a sheet, I looked at the serial number, I don't even know what to do now. Why not, it's not clear, the software was packaged. Girls, can you help out, send a photo of the warranty card to the post office, print it and go to the store to demand the same. mail

I have questions again. Today I looked at the software at work with a friend, the difference is big. 1. When you start working with me, a red lamp (heating) almost immediately lights up and burns almost constantly, it works without turning it on for a while. 2. She has drier steam, there are no drops at all, I have something murmuring (a little) in the gun and there is a lot of moisture. 3. She poured 0.5 liters of water (I am 0.7), it took about a glass, I didn’t even have to let off steam, the plug unscrewed immediately (the processing area was approximately the same). Moreover, after switching off, she had enough steam to wash the door on one side. The model is one. Something I was upset even
More questions: 1-poured water, screwed on the cork, it starts to heat up and the cork hiss a little, you have to tighten it.
2 - while I was rearranging objects, the red lamp was on, it began to work, as it turned out, the water ran out, there was no signal, whether it would burn out, I was worried.
I was also embarrassed by one moment - the wire was not tied with wires (as usual), but with rubber bands like hat. When I opened it, put on the wheels, pulled the trigger - there was a little air. Of course I can bother too much, but even the pressure jumped.

[natushka]

natushka, I don’t want to upset you, but you obviously do not have new software, but previously used one. It seems so to me

Where did you buy it? If possible, return it back.

I think so too. I know from myself how unpleasant it is, you feel deceived, especially when I was really looking forward to this thing. Don't be discouraged, this is just a technique, the main thing is health. The pressure is no joke. Everything will work out.

Purchased, as I understand it, at your regular local hardware store? If not, maybe at the office. website to complain?

Girls, thanks for the support. It looked new, the wheels were separate. The store will not accept it, you need to go to the service, but the service will say - it works. And the rags are dirty now.

it is necessary to the service, and the service will say - it works.

And for other girls, the valve hiss too when heated, I just have another software - Klatronic, it also began to hiss, but after the repair, the tank was soldered.

Well, the valve also hisses a little at the beginning, she also turns it up. But the rest ..... so offensive. I was most surprised that the red lamp was constantly on almost and the water consumption. I also remembered that her water heats up faster, but I attributed this to the amount of water poured.

My valve also hissed, I tightened it up and it stopped, and the warranty sheet may be different because the merlin (store) is their official dealer, they issue such leaflets for all Karcher equipment. Try to consult with the consumer protection authorities, they can advise what. And if you carry it to a service or a store, try to put pressure on the fact that the pistol is hot, they say it shouldn't be that way and that's it.

Girls, we’re bored. It also seemed that steam with high pressure was coming out, even at full power they did not turn on. I'm weak. Maybe my generated pressure turns out less, but why it may depend interesting.

Maybe just because the valve is poorly closed. In general, pressure is lost from the nozzles. Yesterday I washed the floor with a large nozzle so the rag was almost clean, but I put on a smaller nozzle so the rag became black

I tried again, didn’t twist it additionally after the hissing started, it stopped. And about the attachments it goes without saying. I just compared two devices under the same conditions, my steam is wetter, water is consumed faster and the heating lamp is almost constantly on. I thought, if only they installed an indicator of the amount of water, otherwise it would run out and burn the device.

Girls, another question The situation is this: I poured water, I work when the water runs out (I don't see it) - the steam stops abruptly and immediately, the heating lamp is on. Once the steam has stopped, I immediately disconnect from the network. The plug is unscrewed immediately, no steam remains, the boiler is completely empty - no steam (there is nothing to drain), not a drop of water. how are you? It seems to me that all the problems are due to the fact that either the pressure regulator or the emergency thermostat is faulty. Maybe some of you understands (or husbands). Excuse me for bothering you here, but if you go to the service, then you have to do something, and there is absolutely no one to consult with. Yes, one more thing (maybe not essential), the cork (brass part) has become dark (as oxidized), with a friend it is like new.

[natushka]

natushka, if I order the work, and the water has not yet run out, then it is simply impossible to open the plug right away. It is imperative to release the pressure: disconnect from the mains and press the gun until the steam pressure stops. And only then can I unscrew the plug. If the water is used up until the moment that steam from the gun stops flowing during operation, then I also unscrew the plug immediately with a small puff (air outlet). The cork is not oxidizing, as it was in the beginning.

[natushka]

natushka, I just worked on software today. When the water ran out, the heating indicator did not turn on, only a green light (network) was on. The plug unscrewed immediately, with a light zilch. The cork is clean.

[gala10]

gala10, Thank you! I intuitively immediately felt that it was defective. Today I went to the store and took a warranty card and talked to the seller (more experienced). He said to contact the service, the sensor does not seem to work, as I thought. Oh, that's no luck. I thank all the girls for their support, it's easier together.

[natushka]

natushka, good luck!

Here I am with Po, thanks P. Pendurina !!!
Karcher wanted, but somehow sluggish, all in doubts - is it necessary? do not?
Thanks to Tanyusha, I got a Klatronic jug for testing and ........
Now, I actively want a big one, but I won't give up a jug, no

Here are the girls who took their Karcher from the service center today after diagnostics - "the device is working properly." She forced me to turn it on in front of me, when the water ran out, it turned off for them! But the water from the pistol dripped harder, a decent puddle formed, but they said that it should be so. And even with the steam turned on at full power, the master raised his hand to the steam jet (20 cm from the nozzle) and held it for several minutes, I also tried it, it does not burn, about 70 degrees. They cannot check the temperature and pressure !! They said - try, work, if you bring something wrong again and, if confirmed, the store will exchange (but it seems that the exchange is only possible within 14 days) In general, I was disappointed in Karcher, a very much useless expensive toy birth spoiled), it would be better if Klatronic ordered it in the int.-store, But it would cost almost so much with delivery, and spare parts ..

[natushka]

natushka, I think it's not Karcher's fault, but those who sold IT to you. The device may have been repaired. Or fake. I, following the example of other girls, ordered on the official website of Karcher. As far as I know, no one had any problems.
It’s a pity that you did it. Good luck!
