Steam cleaner (steam generator)

Some Silva from Neckermann (like the big Clathronic)

[Natasha Strawberry]

Lala Toy! And how do you like the new thing? Now in the Lenta like this they sell for 1200. Is it worth it?

Natasha Strawberry sorry for answering late. I just saw it. I really liked the unit. It's definitely worth taking, and even for that kind of money

Some Silva from Neckermann (like the big Clathronic)

My Domain, for example, does not supply steam if the water filter has worked out!

I don't know about the filter, but I used it once, everything was fine. And the second time, the above case!

Devulki, hello! Take the new one to your ranks !! So I'll start in order ... I got the idea of ​​purchasing a steam cleaner from my friend at the beginning of the year ... but she bought a device with a pressure of 3.5 bar, swears at him, he says he is very weak and if she would take it now, then with pressure not less than 5 bar. I've been looking for a couple of months (pressed) for a review on the internet about steam cleaners, and only today I accidentally hit your forum and after rereading it I realized that everyone's requests are different and, accordingly, the devices are too. I will immediately inform you that I would like to meet 10,000-00, no matter how, especially from your forum, I realized that the principle of operation is almost the same for everyone and it's only a matter of need. I would very much like a universal thing for cleaning and for clothes !!! It is imperative that you need a long window sink so that you can fearlessly wash the windows outside on the balcony (we have a 9th floor and I'm already afraid to stand on a stool, and the balcony itself is 9 meters long (along the windows of the entire apartment), so the area of ​​the windows is rather big when also the windows of the apartment itself) I had my eyes on the Gorenje SC 1800 R he looked to me exactly 5 bars, but he does not have a brush for clothes (or maybe you can buy it separately, but I won't find anything about it or anything), and she, you know, is also needed as air !!! Maybe someone uses this ... unsubscribe, please !!! I looked earlier at the Kromax Odyssey Q-901, but it still has 4 bar (as the sales assistants answer), although somewhere they say that 2.5 ... maybe who has it ?? what is all the same true ?? What is it in operation ??? Does he handle clothes, furniture and windows ?? The DeLonghi XVT 3000 Steam Cleaner also looked like it looks like it copes with both functions ... but there is no feedback about it at all !!! So ... I need a car for (more than) 10000-00 with washing windows and cleaning clothes !!! You won't even be able to imagine a hundredth part of how much I will be grateful to you for your help in choosing !!!

DOMENA CS 6 ecofibre is not impressive !!! it is not entirely clear why pay that kind of money with the same power as other less expensive devices, only for extra. bells and whistles ?? I also liked the GM Q7 multi blue steamer-steam cleaner but did not find any window attachments ... maybe there is an extra one ?? Tell me who knows what! Be kind !!

and more ... reading you realized that there are cleaners with automatic programs, ... tell us more about them, how necessary are they? Thanks to everyone who responded !!

I'm also looking closely at Kromax. And for myself personally, I tend to the ODYSSEY Q-801 model. There, the steam pressure is 8 bar, although the steam temperature is only 98 degrees. And in 901 the pressure is lower, and steam is 130 degrees.
I think that no one can say anything in a practical comparison for specific models, because hardly anyone has several steam cleaners.
In my situation, more is required for cleaning, because I have an ironing system. There is a pressure of 3.5 bar, the maximum steam temperature is 160 degrees, that is, the steam is dry enough.This is also an important indicator.

in general, oddly enough, all the sellers give out different information about the ODYSSEY Q-801 bar and, in addition, it has fewer nozzles than ODYSSEY Q-901 ... and although I also like it, China is VERY embarrassing ... I think sooooo not for long such a thing will work. Karcher take more for the brand ... I see no reason to overpay for them ...

and more ... tell me, please, I understand that it is better to take a model with a high temperature and with auto programs? right??

and more ... tell me, please, I understand that it is better to take a model with a high temperature and with auto programs? right??

I honestly don't know which is better. But where did you read about auto programs? Can I quit the link? Something I can't imagine what kind of programs a steam generator might have ..

probably I did not put it right .... but from your forum I realized that some models have a button that maintains a constant pressure of steam release and (maybe with this or another button) you can adjust this steam supply ... oh how !! that is, decrease or increase. So I understood from the forum that not all models have it !!!

Good evening! I reread the entire thread from the first to the last post and seemed to get to know everyone! And so much useful information! But girls, I still have two questions: 1. Is it possible to clean the ceiling panels made of expanded polystyrene with a steam generator? People smoke in our kitchen, and the panels turned yellow over time. You can, of course, use a rag with detergent, but you have to jump up and down all the time for a long time. And 2. Has anyone had to fight mold with a steam generator? Our bathroom is not very well ventilated, the mold has eaten away all the sealant around the bathtub, at the seams between the tiles. I tried to use Silit Bank against mold, but somehow I was not impressed. Do you think the heat of the steam will kill her?

Someone, I'll probably upset you a little, but the steam cleaner will not cope with mold. That is, it, of course, will wash off for a while, and then it will appear again. You just wash it off with very hot water. So it’s not worth it, I think, to count on. On the subject of mold, there was a wonderful documentary called Mold. So only chemistry. and radically.

I can put in my five cents about mold - in one program they advised to get rid of mold only with hydrogen peroxide. Nothing else can destroy it.

Do you think the heat of the steam will kill her?

Killing may kill, but all the damage she inflicted will remain. Over time, the new one will come out anyway.

Girls, help out. Today I wanted to wash the batteries and could not open the cover of the clathronic. While she was in the hospital, her daughter and her husband decided to put things in order. As a result, the daughter is in St. Petersburg, her husband is on a business trip, and Kasha's lid is not unscrewed.

nakapustina? Do you have Klatronic? Yellow like that, a jug? If such, then you need to press the lid harder, push it inward and then also turn it in the pressed state until it opens. You know, how some medicine bottles curl like that, like Aspirin York. This is a kind of protection against accidental opening and against children. And you have to turn it counterclockwise, if I remember correctly. Try it.

I know how to unscrew, I have been using it for six months, but something has jammed there or they twisted the lid obliquely

To open, you need to press the lid and twist it counterclockwise in the pressed state with one hand, you can use two or at least three.

try to drop a drop !!! oil on the thread, slightly twist the lid back and forth, have a smoke-tea, have a drink, calm down in one word and after rest it should open

Okay, they persuaded, I'll go and twist it.

Good luck! About oil is a good idea, but in general, sometimes it takes a lot of effort to open it. If I don’t use it for a long time, then I hardly unscrew it, now I try not to tighten it completely after work, just a little so that the lid doesn’t fall out.

Sorry, but there is no way to reread a bunch of forum pages. Briefly unsubscribe about my purchase: Sinbo SSC 6401 steam cleaner, gray-silver color, "jug with a handle" on the 3rd wire. The promised pressure is about 3 atmospheres, the capacity is 250 ml, it costs about 1.5 tons. I took the cheapest one I found, so I didn't expect a special "miracle" from him. I use it for exactly one day, the steam whistles quite strongly, but it happens that it spits water when it cools down during prolonged operation (the light bulb changes color from green to red). There are different attachments in the kit, but I didn't have time to try them, I walk with one - a thin nose, I train. I carry a rag with me in order to rub it where necessary and absorb the streaks of dirty water, because the dirt is mostly limp and blown away / smeared by the pressure of steam, then dries up again.
What we managed to clean: the toilet bowl from oil paint bloopers, water pipes + hoses, a mixer against a weak lime deposit, nooks and crannies on the shelf in the bathroom, the "junction" of the faucet with the sink, grates where the drain is, pencil and metal stripes on the whitewash hands on white painted doors (neither Domestos nor Fairey could handle them), a carved wooden frame with a mirror, corners of window frames and glass, drops of fat on the glass in the kitchen, a microwave oven, cabinets (grease splashes + traces of scotch tape), a beech cutting I cleaned the board of stains, and the very last thing - washed the keyboard (previously disassembled). Spent about an hour and 1.25 liters of water. Note that a new portion of water can be poured only when the apparatus has cooled down. I haven't tried washing the rest yet, I'm happy with the purchase so far

Almost does not wash away rust and "stone" deposits. I read that they struggle with limescale like this: they smear it with vinegar, give time to react, then wash off with steam. I’ll try, but I’ll take citric acid, not acetic acid. I will do the same with old fat, the only thing is that it must be washed not with acid, but with alkali (soda or household soap), then washed off with steam.

Girls, who has ever used the Elbee 12303 steam cleaner, how do you share it?

I also bought a Klatronic kettle for a summer residence. It was not even very bad. I steamed the kitchen and bathroom with them.

The steam pressure is decent. Heats up quickly.

But how small it is! For the entire cleaning, I used 1.5 liters of water. I had to fill in the "teapot" 7 (!) Times. For a similar cleaning with Karcher, I would have to refuel it 2 times.

Klatroshi also has a very small inlet. I can easily pour water from a bottle into Karcher. And in Klatrosh only a special glass. Well, and accordingly, there is no way to wash it inside through this hole. This means that only distilled or very soft water can be used for it.

I was also uncomfortable because I had to hold the teapot with my other hand. Thus, both hands were busy, and even the weight of the "kettle" had to be held. Although, I tried, whenever possible, to put it on some handy surface.

In comparison with Kerkherovsky, Klatroshi's brushes are very soft. For one cleaning brush very fluffed up. But for delicate surfaces, these brushes are more convenient than Kerkherovsky.

I also used a glass scraper - washed the mirrors. A decent scraper removes moisture perfectly.

In general, I liked Klatrosh. If you need to wash a small area, then Klatrosh may be more convenient than Karcher. I would award Klatrosh with the status of an additional steam generator (in my case, a steam generator for a summer residence).

Girls, SOS! In our Auchan I saw the Energy EN-0507 steam generator for 700 rubles. I already put it in the basket, but doubts overwhelmed me, how is he at work? The husband gave time until morning to think. There is no time to read the whole topic! Please, if anyone has such a unit, share your impressions! Thank you in advance!

In my opinion, the same as all kettles, steam cleaners !!!! : girl_skakalka: Buy calmly !!!!

After reading this topic, I bought an Ariette 4106 steam cleaner (there was no particular choice: either he or 4103). So far I tested it only on the toilet, I liked it, it didn't get so clean even with the help of toothbrushes. Thanks to everyone who here told about their trials.

Owners of large steam cleaners (which look like a vacuum cleaner), please add how much it heats up during operation, well, when the steam is released and needs to be warmed up for further work? I would also like to know how effective it is to use it for cleaning the floor, for example, linoleum, do you still need to wipe it with a dry cloth, or is it enough to just walk with a steam cleaner with a cloth on the nozzle?

Girls, hello)))) I haven't visited the page for so long ... In September I bought myself a Bomann steam cleaner, I'm very happy, and not only me. With my light hand, I bought almost the entire office for myself, and praised my friends. Already more than 20 people are happy owners. Everyone is delighted, not one was disappointed))))

I have never been disappointed !!!! They also gave me extra brushes for advertising. Even my skeptic husband is happy, he only cleans the interior of the car with it. My daughter also does not lag behind, takes away from me, if I start cleaning, she also cleans everything. And how did we live without him before ???

They also gave me extra brushes for advertising.

Extra brushes are very good

[Buska]

In September I bought myself a Bomann steam cleaner, I'm very happy, and not only me.

Buska , Congratulations! Have you tried cleaning carpets ???

Tried)))) Became brighter, softer, the pile rose. My daughter appreciated the result by touch (walking barefoot), noticed that it was softer than steel. And how much hair and dust he pulled out ... (the brush was all clogged), although before cleaning it had previously vacuumed

And how much hair and dust he pulled out ... (the brush was all clogged),

Hair is our scourge. And there is some kind of brush for carpets? Without a rag?

No, the same one where the cloth is attached (for cleaning the floor). And the hair is YES! My daughter is blonde, hair to the waist, imagine how many of her hairs on the floor per day! And on the carpet. And then everything was pushed out by the steam, the result impressed, and not only me, but also my blonde)))

Thank you! In general, at least do not go to the forum, there are so many useful things that in my opinion it's time to sign up for deviceaholics !!!

I just wanted to express this idea, but they beat me to it. I still admire my purchase: yesterday they rearranged the furniture, I noticed that the linoleum under one of the legs gathered like an accordion with a large fold. I was almost ready to get upset, but I remembered about the steam cleaner. He quickly heated this place, the fold began to be corrected! She warmed it still, put plywood and a load on top. When the floor cooled down, there were almost no traces of disgrace!
Please tell us about BOMANN! I think I want him ... Does he just blow or suck? And, most importantly, can they clean linoleum? The comments of the members of the forum are much more significant than the opinions of the rest of the Internet. My old 800-watt vacuum cleaner has become almost useless, during the repair the filter is thoroughly clogged and cannot be cleaned. So I'm looking for a replacement, costing up to 3500r (preferably)

[Wasp]

Wasp, Bomann is not a vacuum cleaner, he just generates steam. And linoleum cleans any steam generator, Bomann is no exception.But you already have a steam cleaner, as I understand you are looking for a vacuum cleaner ... Right? Bomann, like any other steam cleaner (without a suction function), a vacuum cleaner will not replace A steam cleaner with a suction function costs a little more than 3500 rubles.

Bomann is not a vacuum cleaner, he just generates steam. You are looking for a vacuum cleaner ... Right?

Quite right. There is a manual steam cleaner, I bought more of it because of interest, now I don’t let it out of my hands. I read about KARCHER SC 1122, then about vacuum cleaners-steam generators, they seem to be better than simple ones with an aquafilter. Confused by two points: the price and thermal effect on synthetic carpets and linoleum, will not spoil it? I don't want any more vacuum cleaners with or without bags, they still blow the fine dust back, which is why I start to sneeze a lot.

teeeeex ..... it seems I'm starting to want a steam generator .... I don't know exactly why, but you tell everything so deliciously ...
Whom do you want to want? suction device? or just a duiku?

Confused by two points: the price and thermal effect on synthetic carpets and linoleum, will not spoil it?

I think everything is good in moderation. I steam my laminated floors from time to time. Just not intense steam, but weakened. Linoleum was also steamed. Nothing terrible happened to him. But the linoleum in the kitchen at the dacha, which I could not clean in any way, was perfectly cleaned.

teeeeex ..... it seems I'm starting to want a steam generator .... I don't know exactly why, but you tell everything so deliciously ...
Whom do you want to want? suction device? or just a duiku?

Wanting, of course, is better and "duiku" and "suction". That's just such a miracle is much more expensive than just "duyki"

[fugaska]

fugaska just a duiku should be on anyone, but want a suction. * JOKINGLY * I also have a Bomann (thanks to my favorite forum), but I dream of Karcher SV 1902. The price kills, but I'm afraid that Wishlist will win her and I will be happy.

[manna]

manna, thanks for the explanations, I'll go read the topic about vacuum cleaners.
fugaska, someone else noted on the first page of the topic and still has not bought a "duyka" not a "suction". , goodbye brushes! Does not stink of chemistry during cleaning - fat plus... Fine limescale and sufficiently fresh rust washes away without problems, now the bathroom mixer is always shining. The gray sneakers turned white again, just a little wet.
Cons of non-absorbent: sometimes, if the water does not have time to warm up, it spits with boiling water, which does not dry out as quickly as steam and makes puddles. When cleaning, I constantly use a cloth. The steam dissolves dirt / grease well, but if it is not collected with a napkin, it will soon dry up again. Indeed, the amount of dirt does not change from a change of location. It would be great if the steam cleaner cleaned up after itself So far, it has only replaced mechanical and chemical cleaning agents, scratching and corroding coatings.

well, someone may have checked in, but he (her, me) was allowed a little, but right now, something is overwhelmed again ...
Osa, thank you very much for the readily available pros and cons! I'm going to decide on the model I just want to decide on the dimensions and liters ... which is better and more convenient? I am confused by the dimensions of the vacuum cleaner (for the duyka) - where to put something? where to store ???

I told about the first days with my hand-held device on the previous page "Reply # 1045 Dec 25, 2011, 14:20". While one refueling of water is over, I have time to swing it. I can't say anything about the floor version, maybe it's better.

[manna]

manna , tell me, are there such in nature ???

Mistletoe, I only know Karcher's. They are called steam cleaners. Cost from 25 thousand rubles.

I told about the first days with my handheld device on the previous page "Reply # 1045 25 Dec. 2011, 14:20". While one refueling of water is over, I have time to swing it. I can't say anything about the floor version, maybe it's better.

I compared the "teapot" -clathrosh and "vacuum cleaner" -kercher here here... To clean the floors, it is definitely only a "vacuum cleaner" (I'm talking about the form, not about the function). In my opinion, the "teapot" is good only for easy cleaning (more on the link).

[large KLATRONIK DR 3280]

It is very good that Temka has come to life and those who wish have appeared again, probably already on the 3rd or 4th call, from the beginning of this thread (I personally read it in fits and starts for several months). It always happens to me that I never get into new products in the first place, except that in addition to a multicooker, but you can summarize the first results and experience of use by other users.
Therefore, girls from Ukraine, who large KLATRONIK DR 3280, you are not disappointed in it during operation? Are there any subtleties and details that you need to pay attention to?

[large KLATRONIK DR 3280]

Hello everyone. I haven't looked into Temko for a long time, probably because I ALREADY have a steam. I have it large KLATRONIK DR 3280... Personally, I am very pleased. True, I do not use it often - once every two weeks, for essential cleaning. A little more often - for washing floors and cleaning carpets. The only thing I haven't done yet is clean the clothes. Somehow there was no need (and dare to clean up - and strength) But besides this, I still bribed myself with a small steam cleaner Monster 1200 jug. Exactly the same functions, only there is no mop. There is a 400 ml water tank, it is enough to clean a large kitchen (the stove, countertops, tiles, HP to clean, the washing machine is what I did the last time). As a complement to the big steam, it is very good. Because it is sometimes lazy to carry a large one, to warm up for half an hour in order to clean only the kitchen. And it is convenient for small cleaning. The cord is long, heats up in 3 minutes. When it ran out, I added water almost immediately, carefully unscrewing the lid. In general, these two steam generators for me for all occasions

Thanks to the fairies, otherwise my fur rug in the bedroom would have remained so gray-indefinite color. So lazy to clean the fur! For such purposes I have a small clathronic for 200 grams of water. Just enough for 15 minutes of work without adding water. And you won't get tired. But the sea of ​​positive emotions! The rug is white, fluffy.

But I was wondering how the sheepskin coat would behave if it was cleaned with steam ... Is it worth the risk?
