Instruction booklet says to use cold water only as hot water could damage the heating element. Also recommends distilled or demilitarized water if your water is hard. Otherwise this is a great review of the Steam Shot.
Thank you! Yes! I did not see that on my instructions (mine said distilled water- I didn’t worry about it cause I knew it was just for the “build up” issue .. but I did not anything about the cold water) but I’ve been getting that comment a lot! So important to note
@@ChristinasHome do you have to use distilled water or ordinary tap water? Also can it be used to defrost a small fridge freezer ? The fridge freezer where the freezer compartment has a shelf in it? The sort of fridge freezer where the freezer box is above worktop level? Not a full sized freezer

For me, its the ability to clean without dragging 15 different chemicals around for different uses and also the cost savings of not having to buy all those chemicals anymore. Agreed, it isn’t some miracle tool but it does work at least as well as chemical cleaners and that’s all I need it to do. I will say that I wish the brushes were larger, i think they would be a lot more useful if they were
That’s a good point!
What a refreshingly frank and honest review.
Thank you :)
Love that everything is color coded. How convenient!!
Yes!
This was a great review!! I really would love to get one soon! Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts!
Thank you Jenny! So glad you enjoyed it :)
They are $40 on Amazon !!
I’m so glad I saved this video. I had a problem getting the attachments on. I had to see it again. And I’m so glad to know I wasn’t missing anything.
I spent like 20 minutes on the phone with this little customer service. The guy didn’t know anything!
You are heaven sent!
Oh wow! So glad it helped! :)
Straightforward and very useful. Thank you.
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful!
This is a really good review. Thank you so much for taking the time to test all these areas. I just got the steam shot and am excited to clean the grout on my floor.
You’re welcome Lisa! Thank you for the sweet comment :) It’s great for the grout! Hope it works well for you!
This thing is amazing!! It literally can do it all!
It’s pretty cool!
What a thorough video! Thank you so much :)
I’m so glad you found it helpful!:)
I'm glad I watched this. I was shopping for a steamer when I came upon this video. I felt your opinion was genuine, thank you for that. I really only want it for bathroom grout. My floor and shower is all tile and since it's a small bathroom, this presents a problem keeping shower grout clean. Your recommendation for it with tile is all I need. I appreciate you taking the time to do this video.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful! :)
I love your honesty.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
The best review I have ever seen!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful :)
This video was so helpful. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome! So glad it was helpful for you!!:)
Thank you for reviewing this! I see people use it all the time and it always seems so awesome! 🙌💗💗
Glad you enjoyed it!!:))
Wow! This comes with alot of accessories. Such a thorough and very detailed review.
Thank you!
Thanks for the honest review!
You are very welcome! =)
Thank you for an honest review.
You’re very welcome! :)
hey christina luv ur review so honest and i can tell u r not an impulsive buyer but a smart buyer which is who i am too. so helped a lot ty
Thank you so much Namita! Yes! I wanted this for close to a year before I finally got it! Sadly it was a disappointment, but I’m glad you found the review helpful!! :)
So excited for this one!!
🥳🥳
That steamer looks like it cleans so well, I'm dying to try it. ❤❤
Thank you Heather! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you for your review!! I am going to buy it now😊. It's been in my shopping cart for like 3 weeks thinking if It's worth it. By the way, out of topic but I love your headboard!🥰
So glad you enjoyed the review! This machine wasn’t worth it for my needs, I wanted to buy one for months before I did & I was really disappointed. But so many love it! If you decide to get one you will have to tell me if you end up liking it!
I love my headboard so much! Thank you :)
The most honest reviwe!!if I only knew be4 buying
Thank you! I feel the same way!
I just got mine and am loving it! It saves you the price of the machine just in cleaners not to mention the lack of residue accumulation. It'll steam your clothes and clean your hubcaps.
Btw those gaps are normal. There isn't supposed to be caulk around your sink.
Oh really? I wonder what the stuff falling out is then? It looked like chalk 🤔 Also none of my other sinks had such a gap (in other homes)
I use this steamer to clean in addition to using oven cleaners. Specifically the range hood fan. It also works great for auto and anything that has grease. Lawn mowers, bicycles, etc.
Oh good to know! Thanks!!:)
I put my stove hood filters in the dishwasher with cascade
Thank you!! I watched all those other tutorials where this thing worked great so I bought one. Did the exact same thing on the exact same areas and it did NOT work. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
Yes! I had to share because I felt the SAME WAY! 😆🙈
Thanks for the review.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!!
Mine just arrived today. After watching your video, I'm glad I bought it but not nearly as happy as I thought I would be. The grout and wallpaper success will be a plus for me, but like you, I have window sill and shower issues in my 60 year old house so I was hoping it would work on them. Thanks for the detailed video!
You’re so welcome! Maybe try some chemicals with it on the window sills & see if that helps! 🤞🏻 Hope you have better luck then I did!! The grout cleaning is awesome though!
Great review👍🏾
Thank you!:)
I absolutely loved your video it was very informative I live in a mobile home and I smoke cigarettes and this machine is absolutely wonderful to just use the hose but the steamer towards the ceiling which is very low and then just go over it with the dust Swiffer pad on the pole not much stretching is needed I smoke a lot and only have to clean my ceilings once a month and they look so shiny so many people have commented did I pick repaint so thumbs up for what I needed it for thank you once again for your comment and your video it was awesome you rock girl thank you handicap and Pomona with not help
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I’m sure others will find it helpful! So glad you enjoyed the video & found your steam cleaner helpful! :)
I really enjoyed your review. I purchased this and couldn't understand why my results were disappointing. You confirmed exactly what I was thinking.. It's going back to Amazon. Thank you.
You’re so welcome! I totally agree! Waste of $$ 🙈
Thank you so much for your review.
I just got mine, and thought that the clothes steamer was missing. Also, I couldn’t get the window attachment onto the hose. I’ll take a look at mine and I’m saving your video.
So glad it was helpful!
Great review!! I am not against using cleaners. I notice most home cleaning reviews use the steamer with no chemicals. When you watch car detail reviews, they seem to just want the best results so they use chemical cleaners and agitate the area then steam clean. Although this is a lengthy process I can see using the 2 steps before hitting it with the super hot steam seems a more realistic way to get great results. Do you feel that the old method of cleaning with cleaners and the addition of the steamer would give by far the best results or do you feel the steamer is redundant if you already are cleaning the old school way?
Thank you,
Personally overall I was really disappointed in this machine, I was expecting it to be a chemical free way to clean - so I think it’s redundant to use it (in most applications) if you are using chemicals. The only thing I could say, is that if you are wanting to get out a tough stain out - I could see using chemicals and THEN the steamer as a good possibility. But overall I wouldn’t buy this again
Hey Christina! Here giving you my full support.
Thank you Natasha!
you did a great job.. thank you.. new subscriber from jordan
Thank you so much!☺️
Hi I bought this same steamer a week ago due to seeing people rave on it. What a disappointment. I agree with you in the fails. The only thing this machine did was get the stuck on gunk from around the sink in which I could’ve use something else and got same results. At first I thought I was using it wrong that’s why I came on CZcams to see how other folks use it and saw your video. Thanks for your honest review. New subscriber here.
Thank you Gypsy! Yeah, was so disappointed! I thought about it for a really long time before buying.. A few people I follow and really trust showed the amazing reviews, so I also thought I was doing something wrong when I tried it out! 🙈 A few people have commented that only professional grade steamers can do what I was trying to get this machine to do & I think I agree with that at this point!
I love my steam shot and our results are totally different. My 1930's era home, with some upgrades but nothing, other than removing the shag carpet, in the past 40 years and my bathroom looks incredible. I was amazed at the difference the very first time I used it. My husband came out and asked what I did different in the bathroom. I have replaced appliances over the years but nothing real recent and it worked great on those also. Maybe difference in water, hard vs soft? I used filtered water and I did spray vinegar on the soap scum areas, which I always have. I always wonder why the vast differences in experiences with the same product.
Yeah, I was gonna ask if you use chemicals with it… I know some people that’s why they have good results, but all the commercials are claiming that’s the results with steam only. So you use it with water & just vinegar?
@@ChristinasHome yes, I have vinegar in a spray bottle and when I plan on cleaning the bathroom I will spray the vinegar on the spots you get soap scum build up. I have done that for years because the smell does not bother my asthma where so many cleaners do. Then I go back to my starting point and use the steam shot and just wipe behind it and it is sparkling clean. Every once in a while there will be something that requires a little scrubbing and I do use the little brush attachments, red for the bathroom of course. The first time I used it you would not believe how much it cleaned around, under, through the hinges on my toilet. I thought my toilet was clean...yuck. It is now though.
@@tracywetsch3566 Thanks for sharing! I will have to try that on my new glass shower doors, I need something new to use but the vinegar & soap by itself isn’t cutting it
@@ChristinasHome there are very few things I use around my house but vinegar, baking soda, dawn, bar keepers friend will clean just about anything. Lemon and salt do wonders also. Maybe try a scrub of dawn, baking soda and then vinegar or scrub the mixture using 1/2 a lemon on you shower doors.
@@ChristinasHome I use Barkeeper's Friend cooktop cleaner on shower doors..it's wonderful!
I love this video because it actually seems honest. I had tried using one of these after some videos claimed it was magic, and I was left with a bunch of disappointment. I will say though that it's great for hard plastic gunk on cars.
SAME HERE!! I was very disappointed in it, after all the RAVE reviews I had watched! Good to know about cars!! I will have to remember that one!
I like mine for disinfecting more than anything. It works on the window tracking for me too. I also love it to clean the roller on my carpet shampooer
Do you spray anything on the windowsill first? Because I’ve seen so many people say it worked on the windowsill, but it didn’t work for me and I was super disappointed!
@@ChristinasHome sometimes I do. If they’re really bad I’ll use mean green or totally awesome. I try not to let them get that bad but let’s be real... lol. It’s not the end all be all for me. But it does help. And I like that it sanitizes.
@@kathyclarke5899 okay! I’m going to try my La’s totally awesome on it! Thank you! Mine are really bad because they were bad when I moved in & ive been too overwhelmed to tackle them because nothing I’ve tried works well 🙈🙈I love the sanitizing feature for sure! Thank you for your help! :))
@@ChristinasHome if they were bad when you moved in give yourself some grace. They may not come completely clean.
@@kathyclarke5899 thank you! 😌💗
For grout it seems like it does a good job and gets the job done fast or quickly. Are there any other devices (chargeable or not) that you have seen since making this video that clean the other things/areas that you see the Blissel device didn't clean or clean well? I was thinking a power washer (a small handheld one if there are ones) that can get all that stuff off that you were trying/hoping for with the Blissel device. Do you know of any of those too (and have tried them for the areas mentioned above in my post) that the Blissel device couldn't/didn't clean or clean well?
This is the only device like this that I have ever tried. I don’t know if any others that can do the stuff other vidoes claim this Bissell can do - but sadly it can’t do them either (not on its own at least) I did love it for the grout, however it was VERY time consuming & I never finished that floor before moving - because of how long it took
Saved $40. God bless you!
Thanks Kevin! I’m so glad it helped you, I should have tried to return mine 😄🙈
Thank you!
You’re welcome! :)
Honestly was gonna use this only to try to get rid of those pesky fleas on my bed and living room from my dog but im glad its portable not only for prsts but to clean the bathroom, oven , and much more. Thank you for the breakdown and testing, helped with my decision 👍
You are welcome! Glad to hear it helped!
Where you had that small piece of clear wrap on the nozzle in the very beginning of video, did it have a lubricant like substance on it as well? I just revived mine today and noticed that.
I don't remember 100% because it was so long ago, but I "think" it did
How long do you wait before refilling with water? Just moments? As long as15 or 20 minutes? Thanks.
Just a minute or so, just basically make sure it’s cooled down - that happens really quickly once it’s unplugged and/or runs out of water, because the steam isn’t built up anymore. I probably only waited like 30 seconds honestly, I didn’t even have to count the time
How do you get the brush that's attached off of the piece you need for steaming clothes? Never mind I was trying to unscrew it and it just pulls off. I would have enjoyed seeing that demonstrated.
Its been a while, but I believe I mention that in the video at the steaming section, because that took me a minute to figure out also (I don't remember off the top of my head what it was but the video is timestamped, so you can skip right to it)
I noticed the orange light on when you were trying to clean the shower head, does that indicate it needs to heat back up?
Yes, you have to take breaks every few minutes to let it re-heat. I probably ended up using footage during some of that time, but I was working on the areas a lot longer than just what was shown on the video.
I just bought one, so still learning.
Update me if you find a way to use it that really works well! I really wanted to love this because so many people do, just haven't found the right use for it yet!
Just got mine. I'm learning too😀
Thank you for this honest review. You just saved me $40. Razor blades, hot water & vinegar are my secret weapon for scraping off caked on crap in the oven.
You’re welcome! And I always forget about razor blades! That sounds like a good combo!
Also I'm not sure it's a good idea to use this on light switches.. not around electricity... NOT a good idea....
My sister and I redid my mother's room in her home, she bought her home in the 90s and that's when wall paper was in ... 🤣 I wish we had this when we took the wall paper down...it really can be such a daunting task.
Oh yes! Haha so so much work to remove!!!
This is a great honest review. I wish I has seen this BEFORE I bought the steam shot. I had high hopes for it cleaning soap scum off the shower, and it did not. :(
I know! Same here! :( I was very disappointed that it couldn’t do MOST of the things that other videos claimed it would/could do :(
Could I use this on my fabric couch?
I don’t think it would “hurt” anything but I also don’t see it being very effective for cleaning. You could use the steaming attachments possibly?? But it’s not going to clean it like a carpet cleaner or spot cleaner would
I have one of these and they’re great for spot cleaning because of how small and light the whole set up is. For more frightening dirt (like the window), you will need a more professional solution like a Dupray steam cleaner (but those are hundreds of dollars) and they do work well for those situations that warrant 350°F steam at very high pressure.
I believe you are correct! Those areas need professional grade steamers. I tried tough areas that all of the commercials & others who were reviewing the product, said it would clean - like the window, etc. To basically see if it did what others claimed it did. And for me it did not do what they were claiming. But I think it’s just too much to expect from a small handheld device, those other reviews were just not accurate, based on my experience & that’s what I had set out to find out (kind of like a true or false) Thanks for your comment! :)
I really appreciate your honesty. Question: does yours get really hot? Like burn yourself hot? Mine just arrived and it feels lukewarm at best. Wasn’t impressed with the results as far as cleaning but if it’s not hot enough it won’t sanitize either?!
Mine does get super hot, are you waiting for the ready light to change before using? If so, I would think you may have a defective machine
I just bought mine two days ago after watching one of the CZcams videos who had nothing but good things to say. I have used it today and several places and I have had positive results. It leaves the toilet, the sinks, I think it did a great job. Of course you have to use rags and may be a little bit of baking soda but I like the idea of how it gets in the crevices. I used it for my window grates and I have never clean them and it did a unbelievable job. I don’t know why it didn’t work for you but I’m glad that you were honest about it. I did one side of the window and I’m going to finish the other side tomorrow. It absolutely did a great job of getting horrible dirt out of the grates of the window. I also do used it for my oven clean oven and it did a 60% job. I’m going to try to use a little bit of baking soda next time so far I am. Happy. Once complete chief complaint is it runs out of steam too quick.
So glad it worked for you! All I can think is that those windows were from 30+ years of the previous 2 owners having never wiped them out 😆 At least I’m assuming by how they looked. So possibly just so badly caked on. But other reviews I had seen showed it like it would work. I wish it would have worked for me! I wanted it too so bad! My mom bought one later on & hers didn’t seem to do much for her either (she also leaves in a 30+ year old home) So I don’t think I just got a lemon. I gave it to goodwill, so hopefully someone else got blessed & it works well for them 🤞🏻
So I’ve ordered this on targets website and cancelled it twice because I wasn’t sure! Thanks for your honest review! I ordered it again! Wish me luck!
I hope you love it! Glad you found the video helpful! I wish I loved it as much as others seem to!
So did the machine end up being a good purchase after all? Is it worth buying?
Any updates?
THANK YOU FOR THIS! Omg I got mine a month ago and had the same results as you, I keep trying to use it and love it bc every single video I see has amazing things to say, but the things it cleans is just easier to clean with a quick wipe down. I was starting to think something was wrong with me lol
Yes girl!! Glad I’m not the only one 🤣🙈 l seriously kept thinking… WHAT am I doing wrong??? LOL
Did you wear a minesweeper suit when operating it? Coz I felt like wearing one when I used it the first time.
This thing could does not feel like a solid device.
@@Act1veSp1n haha, no. It felt SUPER solid & sturdy to me, like it was VERY well built, it was heavy in my hand… it just did not work for me :(
It appears that this machine is not as great as I thought. Thanks for an honest review. I just received mine today.
Sadly, I do think it is over hyped :( I hope you like yours though! I’m still hoping I find a use for mine, because I took too long to try it out & I wasn’t able to return it! I may use it from time to time for sanitizing purposes, since I wasted the $$ on it 😆🙈
@@ChristinasHome I wonder if it's bc the steam isn't hot enough to get great results on Everything??? 🤔
@@marywoodard4241 I believe that is the case. It is shown in all the commercials as If it works like the Industrial steamers -all of the areas and ways I tried it in this video, was because that is how it was shown on commercials(and larger CZcams channels) as working very well on these things. But I now believe you do need more of an industrial level of stream to be able to clean things like this - with steam alone. This may help to lose things, but cleaners are needed in most cases.
I've purchased two of these. They work well ... obiviously since I purchased a 2nd steamshot. However, both of the Bissells failed in the trigger mechanism. Once is a fluke, twice tells me it is a design problem. Would be interested to know if others have had this problem.
Oh that’s interesting… I haven’t used mine enough to have any problems, since it didn’t do what I was expecting it too :( maybe someone else will see the comment and respond
It helps if you use cleaning sprays in the bathroom (shower, around the sink, etc) and then use the steamer. I love it for that.
Yes, I need to give it a try with cleaners added. I wanted to try it out without any cleaners first, because that’s how all the ads were portraying it - as like a miracle worker with steam alone… I didn’t have much luck with JUST steam or with baking soda, but I do need to go back & try some actual cleaned with it. Maybe I will feel like it wasn’t such a waste of $$. What cleaners do you like using for the shower with the steamer? I have a glass shower now that I’m trying to figure out how to best clean. Thanks for the suggestion & for watching!! :)
This aerosolizes all the chemicals, which is EXTREMELY bad for you. Don't do this!
Honest review! I have used industrial steam plus pressure washer combo rigs used for heavy equipment. These companies think that making them smaller with less heat and pressure can do the job of their bigger cousins and yes steam can clean under the right conditions. My wife bought a shark brand steam cleaner years ago and basically I did the same thing you did and I was not impress. After it died tried a Bissell, same O.. The only way they "work" for me if you use it with chemicals and put some elbow grease into it.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one! All the commercials make it look like magic! 🙈 Thanks so much for your comment! :)
Same experience for me too,had to really press down and go over and over a lot to get the grease off stove,not just steam and wipe like they portray
@@zebrastripes3786 totally agree!!
Man I really was hoping this would solve the washing machine problem!
Me too!
I bought a Bissell steam shot yesterday for the most cleaning for the air fryer toaster oven and small cleaning around the house so far it got ride of 96% of the grease stains in the air fryer toaster oven.
That’s awesome! I’ll have to try it on my air fryer, now that I have one!
Me too!! I just watched this video, now I'm going to go try it.
I’ve been wanting to buy this to clean the car and of course use an all purpose cleaner diluted for the interior. I wonder if you use chemicals for the thumbs down areas if it would be better?
I’m not sure 🤔 I’ve heard someone say (in a video) that you were not supposed to put anything but water in it, but I’m not sure why - the person was saying that because they were using vinegar with water in theirs- I’m not sure if it just voids the warrantee or if it can damage the machine - I guess I could spray the chemicals directly on whatever I’m trying to clean, and not inside the machine… But I just feel like I would just use chemicals and skip the steam cleaner - I don’t see where the steamer would work any better than the chemicals by themselves
@@ChristinasHome oh yeah I meant spraying the chemicals onto whatever surface you’re cleaning, sorry I wasn’t clear 😅 The reason I have been wanting a steam cleaner is to hopefully break down the more tough built up spots. For the scraper alone I’m gonna buy it, we have some paint spots from repainting some rooms.
@@emjayy9527 I figured that as I was typing (that I maybe misunderstood) Hopefully it will work for you! So many people love it & say it works amazing for them!
Can it be used on furniture micro fibre?
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it would hurt anything. I used my regular carpet cleaner on my microfiber couch and it didn’t hurt anything.
I spilled candle wax on my carpet and have been looking for something like this. Do you think it remove the wax?
It may work for helping to loosen the wax by melting it. I’ve also had luck with removing candle wax by taking a rag of dish cloth & an iron & ironing it on top of the spot. Just make sure it is a cloth you are okay getting damaged, as the wax will transfer onto the cloth- also be careful not to leave the iron too long at once, so you don’t to burn the carpet! :)
@@ChristinasHome omg!! Thanks for the tip👌🏽 keep up the great reviews.
@@yermailmain206 you’re welcome! I hope it works well for you! And thank you!! :))
Thanks for this great and honest review. Very, very interesting about using it on wall paper. I thought you were suppose to use cool, purified water vs warm tap water?
I don’t think it said on the instructions, I don’t remember,but the water on my sink in the little small faucet is a purified water system that we put in, that water comes out cool, not cold per say but it’s not warm at all. I haven’t noticed a difference in the machine if I use that or the warm tap water
Gotta love your southern charm. 😍
Awe thank you :)
Can you use vinegar to steam instead of water?
I have never tried it. I know some people do that, BUT it will void your warranty if put anything other than water in the machine
It does not say whether you can or cannot use an extension cord with this tool. Anybody know?
I guess I’m not a good one to answer because I’ve always assumed that you can with any appliance. Are there some that you can’t?
I just bought mine. It did not come with any hose or clothes steamer attachments. Do you order these extra?
Hmm… No, they came with mine.
Can I add Carpet Cleaner Solution Shampoo for Machine Use to this steamer?
No, the steamer says water only. It is not made for any cleaners. That would probably clog it up & not work I’m guessing - since only steam comes out of it. Some people do add vinegar but Doing That it does void the warranty i believe - adding anything to it other than water will void it. If you want to use cleaners with this, it is best to add the cleaners to your surface- not into the machine- then you can use the machine with the water only to help break things up
Do you think you could do the inside of a car without it running out of water? Or what about a really dirty old fridge for example?
I guess it depends on how dirty it is, you may have to fill it up a time or 2 in the middle of cleaning. I feel like it lasts about 5-10 minutes
I just ordered my Steam Shot so I’m looking forward to blasting away stuck on grease and grime especially inside of my oven!
Hopefully it works for you! It didn’t so much for me on it’s own, but maybe with the addition of cleaners/chemicals you will have better luck!
I bought the steam shot to kill bed bugs that I brought home from a laundry mat, FYI if you use a laundry mat only clean and dry at the highest heat, to make sure anything you don’t know about gets killed.
I'm not sure if this steam is high enough to kill bed bugs - my initial thought is that it is NOT, but I havent ever looked into that. oh thanks for the tip!
An adult bed bug needs only about 118°F (48°C) for complete lethality within 90 minutes. Both adult bed bugs and bed bug eggs will die within minutes at 122°F (50°C).
Steam forms from water at 212°F (100°C), so it’s already way over the killing point required to exterminate bed bugs immediately. Steam will kill pretty much any bed bugs, dust mites, and ticks in all life stages at that temperature.
The challenge is reaching any crevices in fabric that may be infested. For this, a friend recommended using the Bissel Steam Shot in conjunction with sprinkling a thin layer of diatomaceous earth around the edges of each room in your home. Then, use a hair dryer to blow the diatomaceous earth into the crack between the baseboard and the floor. This will kill bed bugs crawling through hidden areas of your home.
Would it work on the bath tub??
I didn’t have much luck using it in my fiberglass shower :/
Will it work on grime on windows well?
I test that in this video & it didn’t really work for me :( Maybe in conjunction with a cleaning product, it would do better?
@@ChristinasHome thanks sorry I was all over the place when watching it. Yeah that’s what I’m looking for. I struggle with OCD but touching grime is a real issue for me. I’m on the verge of being sectioned so a steam power product would be so ideal. Thanks for replying
Thank you for sharing 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹this video its so beautiful,🌹 I love it 🌹🌹🌹🌹big like my friend 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you!
Is this safe on plastic products and doesn't keep the plastic from warping or cracking??
Hmm I’m not sure. It does get pretty hot, so it might not be the best on thin plastics, you may can see if there is any information on their website about it? (Or google for others experiences) But I’ve never seen anything on it (however I’ve never researched that either)
@@ChristinasHome thank you!! I'll reach out to the manufacturer and ask.
@@gnewt75 Okay! Come back and update us once you find out, in case anyone else wants to know =)
Can you purchase extra nylon brushes ?
I’m not certain, I haven’t looked into that.
👍👌✔️good video
Thank you!
Lol, nooooo! Mine is coming this week and you covered Several areas I am hopeful it will help with but you thumbsed them down. The shower door, the old caulk, the washing machine seal, the window sills . . . lol. Ack! I nearly burn our house down annually with the self-clean oven option on the oven so no biggie there. Wonder how it will handle our air fryer! I agree with shower heads, etc . . . without even trying the steam cleaner I will say vinegar > all. Vinegar is Amazing, Spectacular, and Extraordinary at getting built up gunk off and out of things. I even gargle apple cider vinegar when I have laryngitis! Totally works.
I am hoping to use this machine to help clean the dog treat toys that I can't get in to. That peanut butter stuck Way up there in their Kong toy, for example. I don't want chemicals for their toys, but my arthritic fingers can't get into the nooks and crannies any more. /fingers crossed!
Oh darn! Well hopefully it will work for the dog toys, I think it should do that for you at least! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@ChristinasHome I'll be sure to holler (and scream and pout) if it doesn't. And if it does I'll be sure to sing its praises here! :)
The directions say to to fill it with cool tap water or distilled/demineralalized water! You filled it with hot water!? Im confused? What is correct?
I would just go with the directions on your machine :)
So what steamer are you using now?
This is the only hand held one I’ve tried. I don’t use any other steamers. (Other than my carpet cleaner)
The direction are clear that cool water is to be used when filling the machine.
I never saw this on my directions, but a lot of people have commented this, so I probably just over looked it. Luckily it didn’t hurt my machine. Thanks for watching :)
I didn't get the window squeegee or garment attachment.
Did you see the part where I thought I was missing some pieces? Some of them have to be taken apart or put back together. If that’s not the case, maybe you have a different model?
Thank you for being honest, I thought it was just me. I would not waste time or money on this machine.
You are welcome! I was wishing I hadn’t wasted your $$
The steam comes up from the water cap, is that normal?
I think steam will come out anywhere that its not completely sealed, so make sure that the cap is on really tight, that could be causing it. But a little steam coming out is probably normal.
Even though your using a steamer, spraying some type of solvent will always give better results with steam. Spray with solvent let it settle then steam
I will have to try that! For the purpose of this review I wanted to see what the steamer could do alone, but I would love to give it another chance with that! Do you have a certain solvent that you like best?
Dont breathe it in tho
People for those hard to get areas around your sink. Buy and cheap tooth brush and use that to get into those areas. It works.
The top won't open... can anyone please help?
Press down & turn maybe?
Great review but I was going to get it for shower door and window tracks. Now maybe not.
Thank you! Yeah, I wish it was as great as everyone said … I just didn’t see it :/ I know some people love it though! I still need to try it with actual cleaners/chemicals & see if that makes a difference
Mine did not include the cloth ☹️
oh darn! It may be a lower model
Christina, I think you would be a lot happier with one of the more powerful steam cleaners after watching reviews on CZcams. You get more powerful pressure & hotter temperatures to get the job done. People swear by them! Thank you for your review, I have the one you have & sadly disappointed ☹️
I will have to consider that for the future! Yeah, I had such high hopes for this one after watching so many other reviews but sadly - not all it’s hyped up to be.
Wondering how long that one tank lasts.
I’m not really sure, I would say maybe 10 minutes or less
It says to NOT put hot water into it...
Wow I didn’t know it did all these things! Wow I’m going to have to do this with mine!
Hoping i get the energy to finish the grout 🤣🤣🤣
@@ChristinasHome 😂😂❤️❤️❤️
If you fill it with hot water it says it will void the warranty… it says do not add anything except cool water or you will cause damage to the heating element and your warranty will be void.
I didn’t see that anywhere on mine, but a few others have mentioned this as well
Bought this. Returned it.
Honestly I wish I could have returned mine! It’s just wasting space in the closet 🙈
@@ChristinasHome I don’t understand all the positive reviews and videos. I tried it on loads of things and it was useless. I really wanted it to work. It just doesn’t,
@@davidrobertsemailthat’s exactly how I felt! People who haven’t ever steered me wrong before were RAVING about it! I wanted to love it so much! But I just don’t get the hype!
