Steam cleaner recommendations?

thriftwizard

I'm in need of a steam cleaner since my old one developed a leak. It was a little Morphy Richards that did everything I needed, from scrubbing up the odd rug that passes through my hands, through cleaning our slate kitchen floor & well-pitted pine table, to steaming job lots of vintage velvet clothing - as you can see, I use it for business purposes as well as domestic.

But it seems they've diverged since I acquired the last one (off of Freecycle, several years ago) into things that will clean your floor OR things that will clean your clothes. Now in some sense I probably should have separate machines for home & for business, but I work mainly from home and a market stall & I don't have room to store two different machines where there was only one before.

So are there still any multipurpose ones available, and if so, please can anyone recommend - or not, as the case may be - one that would be robust enough to last the pace of keeping a big & busy household vaguely hygienic as well as the odd bit of tarting up old textiles? Crossing my fingers someone out there will know, and thanking you…!

There are several steam cleaners which can be used as a mop or dismantled to be hand held for other jobs.


If you prefer Morphy Richards, Tesco Direct have a 9-in-1 model.

Thank you, it's good to know they are still out there! I have no particular preference as to brand, the Morphy Richards was just what came up when I needed one before.

I recently got the Morphy Richards 9in1 through the Tesco Clubcard exchange. Never used a steam cleaner before so cant compare to other models but am very pleased with this one having used it to clean wooden floors and bathroom tiles.

I would also like a steam cleaner for cleaning hob and oven, lots mirror and glass doors. A mop function would be nice but not essential. Almost went for Thane H20 but was put off by some reviews saying it doesn't last long. I saw http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Search...ms/VAX+S10.htm on another MSE thread, and wonder if it's any good? Less than half price so seem like a very good deal but not sure if it's another overpriced RRP joke.
