Light easy to use . Down to size is the length of cable wish to tap water tank was bigger.
Be careful when washing floors the a small amount hot water flows down.

very good product. can it be more ergonomic and lighter with more water capacity or water pump long pipe added?

Great at cleaning years of ingrained mud on our utility’s wooden floor that mopping simply failed to shift. I will now be able to re-seal the boards. Used it to get stains out of a canvass covered chair rather than pay a lot to have them recovered – worked really well. Using it to steam residue from 20 years of open wood fires out of our living room paint ahead of re-decorating. Much easier than hand washing. Highly recommended.

It took 4 fills to get my small house clean the first time. Since then one fill is enough. That will do the kitchen and bathroom floors, sink, toilet, large shower enclosure and tiles, kitchen and bathroom bins.

The kitchen floor is vinyl laminate. I don’t steam the joints, but get some steam going on a solid bit, use the hot mop, then a bit more steam now and again but always on solid plank so I don’t force steam into the joints.

I have also used it to steam an area of carpet under a bed where there were a few clothes moths lurking, and the lines in the carpet left when rearranging furniture. It didn’t remove the lines completely but softened them enough to brush them out.

A few things from other reviews that put me off : holding the steam button down is not at all difficult. I don’t notice it. Perhaps it has been improved. It doesn’t take hours to cool between refills, you just let all the steam out and the top will open. It lasts plenty long enough for my small house, and I checked the cable would be sufficient before I bought it as I didn’t want to mess about with extension leads. The extension pipe does not get dangerously hot, it is a tube within a tube. The outside plastic is perfectly safe. The floors are left nearly dry. If they are too wet, stop steaming !

I really like that the whole thing fits in a kitchen drawer, with all the accessories. I have read the top can seize if left for ages so I always unscrew it a bit after use.

As someone who has used Krcher and most the models this is money well spent! Not much further to say than what has not been said already, so many uses it is difficult to start anywhere other than saying, do not hesitate.

Pro’s
– Good value
– Heats up in just 3 minutes
– Compact and versatile
– lightweight steam cleaner

Con’s
– Not many tools
– Weight is all in hand
– Steam not variable

Summary:
The design gives superb reach and flexibility. It comes with a handy mesh bag to store tools in, but it doesn’t come with many tools, however you can buy extra attachments and the aftermarket ones are not too bad. It doesn’t come with a jug but it’s small enough that it fits under a kitchen tap. The steam is powerful for sure, when you’re done, it packs up nice and quickly. The additional steam stick is worth getting for sure as are quite a few other attachments, in the current world a must buy. I have tried some of the cheaper makes but they never quite cut the grade over time.

I bought a used one “like new” sold by Amazon warehouse. As I was not sure for how long I’ll be keen to use it. I real let down: rusty, had to view repair tips and tricks, became a good fixer.

The tank is small. Only lasts for a few minutes. Then it gets tricky to top up and keep on going: you’ll be switching between the tasks then if this becomes a part of your routine. But well we learn and adapt.

For me it serves a psychological pattern that the space will be cleared if I use this tool. Not sure if that’s the case in reality as I don’t mind the use of any chemicals in the household.

Anyway, got another nerdy item but the price they charged was unfair for the “used, like new” item. It’s twice overpriced.

I read a review and some one had written how annoying holding the button was to use it. I thought carnt be that hard and bought one. Well I agree it’s really annoying. My hand hurts holding the button down all the time. But I love the mop. Only holds enough steam to do one room. But I do love it. Just could be better if switch held itself in.

Repeat purchase as old one stopped working, great product, works, lasts a long time, would highly recommend

For this small equipment is very powerful for home and enough to do the job.

My hairdryer lead is longer than this one. It’s quite heavy too. A bit disappointed that a product advertised for use in bathrooms won’t reach the bathroom with out and extension lead

Couldn’t be without this multi function tool. Wished I’d got it years ago. Haven’t fully gotten used to it but really love the idea I can use the little adapter that gives needle point accuracy for around tap bases, plugholes and other hard to access areas. Love it for cleaning the stone floors and tiles.

Predictably excellent build quality from Karcher. This is our 5th Karcher device (we also have another steam cleaner for bigger jobs). The cleaner is easy to fill and simple to use, fill, wait a short time and pull the trigger, a steady stream of steam will follow. The accessories are valuable and deliver opportunities aplenty for cleaning around the kitchen/ bathroom/ utility/car/garage etc. on this point you have both the benefit and the issue with this item. The capacity of the steamer is lower than a pull along the steamer, so the duration of the steam flow is minimised. However, what you swap in practicality you gain in mobility. Use this in your car (as a for instance) and you have a totally flexible cleaning tool that will clean better than soap or product on your leather interiors. I highly recommend it, but 4 stars as if I had to only buy one steamer i would lose the mobility for the longer duration / higher capacity.

Bought this to tackle the tough dirt that had built up around my taps and shower head, the brush attachment did a great job at blasting away the dirt! The hand tool did a great job cleaning the bath and shower screen as well. Would recommend.

Fantastic little machine and did everything it said it would. Got this to do my floors and they were cleaned brilliantly – surprised by how little water was left on the floor. Have since used it to clean the cooker hob and the cooker door, both of which were left looking brand new!!

I have had a few steam cleaners, and would rate this as the best so far. The main reason I like it is ease of assembly, so easy to slot the pieces together, literally just click into place, and then slide out again. The previous cleaners I have had have been really complicated to assemble, and it has put me off using them very often. This cleaner is also compact, the actual unit is pretty small, and because it is easy to take apart, it is easy to store away. Although small, the unit is powerful, with impressive results. The downsides are that, although compact, the unit is still pretty heavy. If you are using it for anything other than a floor cleaner, your arm gets tired quickly. The unit is compact, and that also means that you have to refill often, you can only fill to a max of 200ml each time, this doesn’t go far. However, the it heats quickly, and you are ready to go again in 3 mins, or less if you top up with warm water. There are several attachments, extenders and a floor cleaner, a steam clean nozzle, and a nozzle with brush attachment, everything you would need for a domestic clean I would say. I think for the money that more than one floor cleaning pad should have been included in the box, but I’m sure additional pads can be bought. Overall, a pretty impressive piece of equipment.
