Hand held steam cleaner

moments_of_sanity

Hi,

I had a quick look through the threads but couldn't see anything on hand held steam cleaners.

I am looking at getting a steam cleaner for cleaning UPVC windows, doors, grout, bathroom, tiles etc and wondered if anyone had any recommendations at all. I have looked at the Bissell and Vax so far but neither of them get particularly good reviews. Some say they are worse than useless and others rave about them so I am wondering if it is worth spending the £40 odd on one?

TIA

Cant help really but I would say check the length of the cable. I bought mine mainly to steam clean the toilet but the cable is stupidly short and loses pressure quickly when its unplugged.

Hi,

started using steam cleaners for the job after seeing the reviews on this site best handheld steam cleaner uk

I went for the quest one because of the number of reviews its got on amazon, havent looked back since. I know its hard to decide with mixed reviews but if it doesnt work for you just ask for a refund.:p

Me too, I got mine From BM, £15 with lots of attachments. I didn't want to pay £40+ for one until I knew how much I would use it, but this does the job just fine, I'll be sticking with it.

Thank you to everyone who has replied, I hadn't even thought of trying B&M so will pop in at the weekend and have a look

I bought a Vax duel and it's been fantastic it's taken the hard work out of cleaning I only wish I had bought one years ago.
