Steam cleaner (steam generator)

[natushka]

natushka, I also have old cast iron batteries. Perfectly everything is blown out by the native Karcher nozzle. I didn't even think that there might be any problems.

Now I tried it on an early battery. It blows perfectly from the front edge, if you put on a nozzle, then the back one is great, but you can cope without it. It seems with all the steam. cleaning the batteries should be no problem.

I didn't manage to do something with my own nozzle, I just smeared the dirt, maybe the pressure force is small for this, I cleaned it with my hands. Her .. it's not about the front and rear ribs of the battery, the main thing is the internal partitions between the ribs of the sections. I'll try to look for a new nozzle.

Aaa, it's clear which one, I tried not on this one, then I don't know.

Diana-Irisha, I still did not understand about additional brushes.
Can I buy them separately and where exactly?
Where they sell the software themselves, they said to contact Kitfort, to the representative office.
Where did you get it? I cannot get through to this office, no one answers at all.
So I see that if I can take 904, but with mother-of-pearl buttons, then I'll take it.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, try on this phone: +7 812 309 32 29, it was from him that they told me that the attachments can be ordered and sent by mail, only I did not find the order form on the website, make an agreement immediately by phone.

Girls, and these Kitiki are for sale in Yulmart. Did you look there?

Kitiki are now sold in many places, but only in standard equipment.
And if additional nozzles are needed, then they are referred to the dealer 🔗

And interestingly, besides Karcher, nozzles for some steam cleaners are sold ??? After all, there are so many different firms!

For the bomans / clathronics girls in Ukraine, they definitely bought brushes!

[diana7dg]

diana7dg Irina, are the extension tubes included in your software package and how long are they? Are they good for cleaning the floor?

[Deva]

Deva, yes, two tubes of 50 cm, using their floor and mine.

I bought it today in Enter
I also received a bunch of unexpected discounts and a gift for 300 scars (although in other stores such a gift would cost no more than 100 rubles, but they don’t look under the tail of a donated horse).
I haven't used it yet, but outwardly nice.

The 903 is bigger and much more expensive, but the package is better.

Irisha, I found out everything!
Do not be upset, because because of the additional tank, the 903 is more capricious: there are additional adapters, gaskets, safety valves, which, accordingly, can more often fail, be capricious, require replacement ...
I tried it all out in their service.
They said that their best model is the 905, it has been on sale for a long time, and the 904 should also be no worse, because it only has a slightly different body, and everything else is the same as the 905.
Testing boom tomorrow.

Olga, congratulations on your new assistant !!! Let it serve for a long time and please!
It is interesting to know your test results. What kind of gift?

There you could choose any one for 300r, - I kiss a bunch of all different CHIBO companies, moreover, not only on the topic of coffee, but also for home, recreation, for children, animals and even rags.
I scored a bunch of things for the kitchen, and then slowly sifted them out, and as a result, I took a couple of spherical containers for storing started or peeled fruits and vegetables - one the size of a large onion or apple, and the second smaller, I think, will do for a lemon.
I chose from all sorts of other containers, food for the dog (the stranger did not dare to take it), I also remember the jug for 2 liters with measurements and a sliding lid, flat, it is convenient to put it in the refrigerator door.
There was also a device for sealing plastic bags, but it was battery-powered, and I didn’t risk it either, there were also all sorts of different things, you can see all this on their website.
Paid 4135 rubles for everything together with the gift.
My husband is studying the instructions, and tomorrow I'll try this thing.

And how much did the device itself cost? Less than 4 thousand? Good price!!!

This is so much a device, but a gift is free, like
There we had a discount from the website of 125 rubles and a little more for a Svyaznoy card, and so it costs 4390 from them.
In fact, we paid even less, because some other bonuses were deducted from the card.
It was unexpected and all the more pleasant.

[Olga]

Olga, with a new assistant! Let it serve for a long time and please!

Thank you!

Girls, help out! There is absolutely no time to study the whole topic ... They sent a discount on the Karcher steam generator, the order must be made within 24 hours (well, Belgium won the match, we are walking about this) The steam generator is small for 250 grams of water, manual, pressure 1 bar.
How is it? Fine? I want it for the kitchen, bath, for steaming clothes, and also for cleaning
Cope with such tasks?

[Vika]

VikaI think it will be rather weak with a pressure of 1 bar. And, as I remember, there were not very good reviews about the Karcher jug.

[Manna]

Manna, Yes? sorry...
I have already unmarked to buy Clathronic and this discount has appeared.
🔗
There is still one like this, but I can't find reviews ... I really like the Philips manufacturer, but ...
it turns out that it is also possible

🔗
Well, which one to choose? : girl-th: I just have to generalize the kitchen.

[Vika]

Vika, Philips is more of a steamer. So, it can not be considered as a steam generator for cleaning the kitchen. And I won't tell you about the second - the first time I see

The universal steam cleaner CLEAN MAXX is the most suitable of those listed by you. I bought a big Karcher, a friend of the kid Black & Decker, 350ml. Small is good for everyone, but still incomparable with Karcher. Only one thing, that endlessly it was necessary to fill with water ... And you can't wash the floor like a steam mop. Definitely more, if, of course, you buy one. I, OF COURSE, JUDGMENT BY THE CHARACTERISTICS, LIVE I HAVE NOT SEEN THESE MODELS.

[small]

Small gs are generally not very suitable for general cleaning. In large gas tanks, the pressure is higher, and, accordingly, the spectrum of their action is much greater, including the capacity of the water tank, which directly affects the duration of the operation of the gas generator. But having both a large and a small pg in existence, I can say with confidence that I will not give up the small one, because there will always be something to remove with it, and now the small pg is already working on its last legs, so I am already looking for a new one small pg.

[Manna]

Manna, So in the description they indicate that it seems to be for cleaning, and in the photo it seems that they wash and clean something.
Second ... there are no reviews ... what kind of manufacturer.
Directly all in doubt.
Or no longer take the pig in a poke. : mail1: They still give a discount on the Phillips cartoon, they can already grab it, especially since my Redmond is completely bent.
I planned to look for a replacement for her. Shtebu wanted a pressure cooker. There are plenty of recipes and tips here. And such a Philip in Russia looks like a netuti ... This is where I will ask questions. Local? They all complain that there are few recipes attached to it, They will never guess what my compatriots invented.
Let's think there is still a little time.
Thank you all very much for your advice!

I advise all owners of steam particles to sew the covers for the nozzles from the old terry towels themselves. Many tie them in rags, while others buy extra rags in stores. Both options did not suit me. (Original rags for Karcher 950 r) are not convenient to tie. And you don't want to click on the rags all the time. And then he put on an elastic band, washed the floors or cleaned, took it off and threw it into the washing machine. Everything is simple and easy. For execution you need an old towel, scissors, an elastic band, threads and a sewing machine. Business for 15 minutes. In almost an hour, I sewed 3 covers for the medium and 3 for the large Karcher attachment.Old terry towels absorb moisture well and allow steam to pass through. Photos of what such covers look like and I show you a photo of my vaporizer. Of course, maybe someone himself guessed to make such covers, but I decided to share my idea.

[Mesuri-Anastasia]

Mesuri-Anastasia, well done for sharing. Indeed, it is very convenient.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, well, how was the testing of the new unit ??? Where is the report with photos?

Today I received a parcel with nylon brushes for the Kitfort KT 904 steam cleaner. I left an order through the official website in the feedback form on June 4. Paid 560 rubles for 3 brushes and shipping from St. Petersburg to Moscow.



Mesuri, and how well do terry cloths collect dust? I use microfiber. Thanks for the advice, I'll try to make a rag with an elastic band.

Irisha, I haven't gotten to him yet, it still doesn't work out.
Maybe this weekend ...
Why 3 more brushes? Are they quickly failing?
I was going to additionally take a metal brush just for glass ... Or what?
Regarding terry and microfiber: in my experience, microfiber is the best for cleaning and more practical, more durable.
In addition, it is now of different thicknesses, and it has actually become cheaper.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, I don’t know how quickly the brushes fail, but I took it with the aim of having its own brush for each area: kitchen, bath, toilet, rooms. I don’t need a metal brush, I’ll scratch everything with it, but I have a nozzle for glass, I also bought a jug, so he had this nozzle in the kit, it ideally fits the 904th model.

diana7dg
Irina old terry towels have good hygroscopicity, I don’t know how to collect dust. Want to buy Microfiber towels from Fix Price and sew cover attachments from them.

Aaaaa, Semyon Semyonich!
Tady and I need to.
On Monday, if I don't forget, I will write myself more brushes and a nozzle for glasses.

How well do terry cloths collect dust? I use microfiber

Terry cloths collect dust worse than microfiber, but only cotton is suitable for SG. Microfiber will not stand a temperature of 100 degrees. With microfiber, washing is permissible no higher than 40 degrees.

Galya, not a fact, microfiber is also different.
For example, on my rags, the labels show a washing temperature of 60 * C
But about 100 * C, I also doubt it. that is, it will probably withstand, but it may lose its convenient and useful properties in the household.
Or how?

Terry cloths collect dust worse than microfiber, but only cotton is suitable for SG. Microfiber will not stand a temperature of 100 degrees. With microfiber, washing is permissible no higher than 40 degrees.

Galina, what will this microfiber cloth do if you clean the floor, does it wash worse or? I bought sex toys, sucked, then washed with soap. So I did not understand from your post what is possible, what is needed, what is better and why. Please explain in more detail to a beginner.

[Elena]

Please explain in more detail to a beginner.

Elena, take a break from the fact that you are a beginner. Just remember the graduation on the iron. Microfiber is synthetic, high temperatures are harmful for it. This means that when using microfiber cloths with a pro-generator, they very quickly lose their attractive properties. It is not for nothing that the manufacturer completes the steam generator with cotton rags. It would not even occur to you to boil synthetics, but this is exactly what happens with a steam generator - the temperature of the steam at the exit from the boiler is exactly 100 degrees. While it (steam) goes through the hose and additional nozzles, it, of course, cools down a little. But still, for synthetics, this is too high a temperature. What will happen to the rags? - Yes, there will be nothing particularly terrible, you will just throw them out soon. And here it was about making spare rags to save money on buying branded ones. Do you want to stock up on your "home" rags? - Take a terry cotton towel and sew as Misuri advised.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=928.0
The advantage of microfiber rags over rags from an old terry towel is that small fibers do not come out of the microfiber fibers, which is why it is easier to wipe dust with them.

Galina, thanks for the clarification. It is not scary that they will not last long, as long as there is no harm from them. And so I read that due to the structure of the fiber, they acquire special properties that allow them to clean more efficiently, even to wash glass without chemicals. I began to use them because they fit in size, and I need to sew from terry cloth. If no one interferes with microfiber anymore, you will have to sew from towels.

I just read that all the beneficial properties of microfiber (increased moisture absorption, static properties, lack of lint) come to naught with strong heating, because the structure of the threads changes, which is precisely what provides these properties.
But this temperature can be different, depending on the composition of these fibers.
I already wrote above that on my rags there is a label with a washing temperature of 60 * C, that is, 70 * C it should definitely withstand.
But how many actually and how others are - is not clear. You need to know this composition.
I heard that microfiber technologies have learned to apply to mixed materials with cellulose in the composition, where the characteristics should be more interesting in terms of temperature.
And so, I don’t bother: I use it until the functionality is lost, then I throw it away and buy the next one - now it’s inexpensive.
What I wish you too!

Well, thanks, I will do the same without bothering.

Forgive me ... I do not have 100% but reliable information about this, but ... does microfiber not release not very useful substances with such heating and even with steam? It seems like cleaning with a steam generator means avoiding chemistry and synthetics ... Of course, I could be wrong. But it's no coincidence that steam generator manufacturers equip them with cotton rags and covers, and microfiber manufacturers do not recommend heating it. Here, of course, everyone's choice

Well, here, again I started thinking ... And how well I started without thinking ...

Look at the composition of microfiber - several types, and what happens to these substances when heated.
Also look at the composition of food containers that can be used in the microwave, the composition of silicone kitchen utensils, and other materials recommended for use for heating with food - then you will make the decision consciously, and not according to someone else's opinion - the Internet will help you!

Girls, how difficult everything is. Look there, compare there ... I just asked for advice ...

[Elena]

Elena, everyone lives his own life And we all have already expressed our opinion here. What to do is up to you

Girls, I am again to you for help!
send me discounts on some Bestron products, including a small steam generator.
In my opinion, here I have not heard any reviews about it, but it seems like a pizza baking is praised without a touch, maybe a steam generator is not bad
He has these characteristics
Steam cleaner manual

Cleaning without stains, streaks or limescale.
No cleaning required.
Steam pressure 3 bar.
About 12 minutes of continuous use.
Aluminum tank with about 150 ml of water.

With these characteristics, how can a steam generator be evaluated? Normal? or not really?

For manual normal specifications.
But sometimes the characteristics of the devices are the same, but the efficiency is different.
so it's better to ask direct users about the typewriter.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Yes, I agree .. I would find them more of these users ...

I use york microfiber.The standard cotton floor nozzle is not even close in terms of ease of cleaning. And nothing happened to her.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, to be honest, the color characteristics bother me. For some reason, the color duplicates Karcher's devices .... A self-respecting company has a corporate identity, and does not mow under someone promoted.

Girls, are all carpets cleaned with a steam cleaner using technology? I read that you must first vacuum and then clean. I did it myself, and now I thought: maybe this is an extra function? After all, even after a vacuum cleaner, the steam cleaner manages to "extract" sand from the depths of the carpet.
