Steam Cleaners

Advantages: it gets the job done
Disadvantages: its heavy

I literally have to use this cleaner every week due to high traffic areas in my house. I found that this product is actually pretty handy. Its a bit heavy bit I workout so its no big deal. I have found that it doesn't pick all the water neither and I have to keep all the windows open to dry my carpet and I have to make sure to not turn the cleaner off while it is still parked on the rug so that I do not have one of those water tracks. I have really ... Read review

Advantages: compact, fairly lightweight
Disadvantages: water takes a while to get hot

My friend owns one of these and has really enjoyed using it. She states that the ease of operations is wonderful.

Advantages: easy of use and small size
Disadvantages: needs more suction , hard to clean unit

This is not a bad little machine, for it's price. Small enuff to fit in those tight spots, yet with its 64 oz capacity, you are not having to refill every 10 minutes like some other models. It could have a little better suction, but overal for this price range it is quite nice. I would not recooment for long shag or frizze carpet, as I don't feel it is strong enuff to get the product back out of the carpet, totally. Tank is easy to remove, but can ... Read review
