Kärcher SC 3 Upright EasyFix Steam Mop

My wife likes this so much ,she wont let me have a go . Every cloud has a silver lining.

Installation very easy yes the cable is short however the 30 second warm up time more than makes up for this. It is far quicker to use compared to our previous floor steamer.

Very effective and works well on my tile floor. Well made and should last ages.

I thought it was fine and 80 cheaper than Argos!!!!!!
Could have had a wall hook to hang it on and just one mop head is a bit stingy.
Other than those minor issues just what I wanted

I am very impressed with my purchase of the SC3. Arrived today, and was assembled within 2 minutes.
Solid sturdy machine which to me means good build quality.
I like the fact that this has a water filter, I have/had a ‘Vax’ floor steamer ( which is soon going to the tip ) the Vax was always leaking water which I worried about it being electric, it also used to clog up with scale!
The SC3 is great, I am 100% happy!
I have three dogs and two cats, I have just steamed my tiled floor, it was dry within minutes, and no paw prints and streak free!
Highly recommend.

As with all things Kracher a well made solid bit of kit. Relatively easy to assemble, the manual is mainly pictures with few words. It only ships with one pad, so worth buying a further set of 2, relatively expensive in my opinion but necessary. Three settings – simple to use and it works superbly.

So easy to use and you know that the floors are clean and safe for the grandchildren.

For those that don’t have a steam floor cleaner, they are great pieces of kit, especially if you have pets or children. You always feel the floor is surgically clean and without the use of chemicals. This cleaner looks typically Karcher with its distinguishing yellow livery. The unit is lightweight as these things go, and very simple to use. It doesn’t use detergent like our old one, but I have always questioned the need. This works fine without. It has a removable and machine washable pad. When you look at the colour of it after use, you can see how much it picks up. You simply fill it with water, turn it on, and wait for it to heat up (less than a minute) and away you go. The head is fairly flexible, so it is easy to get under tables etc. It also comes with an attachment that allows it to be used on a carpet, but I haven’t needed to try that yet. With onboard cords storage, it doesn’t take up much space for storage either.
Simple, and does the job without fuss.

This steam cleaner comes well packaged and needs to be put together, which is simple and the instructions are good. The tank only hold 500ml of water and the water softener cartridge, but this was enough to do my whole downstairs laminate flooring.

The Karcher water softener can be set to four different levels, so should work with even very hard water. I have not had it long enough to know how long the cartridge lasts.

It also has different levels of steam for laminate, carpet and tiles. The water unit attaches to the hand unit of the cleaner, but it is still quite light.

I found that this worked really well on the laminate flooring and the carpet without leaving a them wet, or indeed much more than slightly damp.

I found this to be the easiest steam cleaner I have used and I have tried quite a few over the years.

I ordered the Karcher SC3 upright steam mop for cleaning a mixture of floors in my house. The unit has a mode selection switch for the following modes:
Tiled Floor
Wooden Floor
Carpeted Floor
Each setting adjusts the steam output of the mop to suit the cleaning of each surface.
Putting the unit together was easy, very intuitive design, I didn’t really need the instructions — although I checked just in case!
My previous steam mop packed in after a year or so but I notice this unit comes with a water filter so this will prevent limescale building up and give the unit a longer life.
Once plugged in you push the power on button to start the unite. There is a light at the front which changes from red to green when steam is available, then you just push the trigger button and push the mop along the surface to be cleaned.
The first surface I used it on was a tiled floor, the shine on the floor afterwards told the whole story, the mop cleaned the floor perfectly.
The unit worked well on the wooden floor too which uses the least steam output.
What I was most surprised about was how well the carpet came out after a once over from the mop, a really noticeable difference.
See attached photos and videos of the mop in use and some before and after photos.
Overall, I found the unit very easy to use and it cleaned surfaces brilliantly.

Note: I accidentally left the carpet attachment on when using on hard floors once and it still cleaned them really well!

I have always really wanted a Karcher Steam Cleaner , when I saw this I HAD to get it .
I Ordered On Sunday evening and it arrived Monday delivered by Hermes . It came in an amazon Branded Cardboard Box .
Opening the box you find the Karcher Branded Box which shows the SC3 on the front and on the back Instructions for putting it together .
I was impressed by how easy it was to fit everything together .
In the Box you get :The Handle , the Steam Unit , a Bottle and water descaling filter which fits inside a fluffy mop head and the bottom of the mop .
To set it up you slip the handle into the body of the SC unit until you hear a click , open the water bottle and add the descaling filter fill with water then attach to the back of the unit . Attach the bottom of the mop and you’re ready to go .
Plug the Steamer in and press the button on the handle to the floor surface you want to clean , you can choose from 3 settings then wait for the LED light to tell you that it’s reached optimum temperature , Press and hold the button inside the handle and mop away .
The water takes about 30 seconds to heat , it’s fast and leaves the floor very clean . It states that it cleans up to 99.9% of Bacteria . I am using this Karcher on my vinyl flooring in my hallway which my dogs get dirty with mud and fur and on my kitchen tiles . They have come up extremely clean, ( so much so it actually changed colour ) and it’s taken me far less time to complete the task that I would normally do with a spray mop .
Karcher is a great name and well known for its steam cleaners , I think this is the best Steam Cleaning Mop and I highly recommend it . Yes it may be more expensive than some on the market but you have a warranty and Karcher aren’t going out of business anytime soon .

A review for Karcher SC 3 Upright EasyFix 15133010, Steam Mop, Yellow, 1600 W, 52 Decibeles.

A very capable and powerful steam mop which is great to use. Assembly is easy easy and it should be ready to use in around 5 minutes, including filling and selecting the suitable settings. The upright design makes this effortless and quick to use to mop even large areas quicker. The powerful 1600W heater ensures quick heating up to operating temperature in around 30 seconds, the 3.5 bar pressure gives this a good level of pressure to make cleaning effortless. Comes with a 0.5 litre water tank capacity gives coverage of around 60 square metres. The 5m cable ensures a wide coverage area is possible from a single socket, since the whole unit weighs around 3kg means it isn’t overly heavy and cumbersome. Adjustable steam for different floor types of floor makes it a versatile steam mop. It is a little pricey for a steam mop however having used a variety of steam mops over the years, this beats every one of them hands down. Overall very powerful, practical and well built steam mop from Karcher, a premium price you get a great product.
