Tools and Hardware Reviews of SteamFast SF-275 SteamMax Steam Cleaner
Customer Review: Best floor cleaner yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several rooms including my kitchen that have white shiny ceramic tile floors with white grout. No matter what I used to clean the floor I had to dry it as I cleaned and most often within a day or two it looked hazy or smeary. Since using this steam vac I can go well over a week between cleanings and the floor never looked better. The steamer removes surface dirt from the grout, so if you're buying it primarily to clean grout expect to still have to use elbow grease or chemicals. It is too messy to be practical for cleaning windows and it didn't do very well cleaning soap film off the shower door. It did, however, do very well on mold. I also love it for cleaning my jewelry and the silk plants in my freshwater aquarium! No more brown spots on the silk plants. Best part of all the things I've mentioned--NO CHEMICALS to inhale or contaminate the environment. The unit is sturdy, heats up quickly and includes a lot of handy attachments.
Customer Review: Can be used as a 30 minute humidifier but don't expect to "clean" with this thing!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Read all of the 1 star reviews TWICE before you even think of buying this.
Keep in mind that all the 5 star reviews, in my opinion, could be believed if they were talking about cleaning a couple square INCHES of area.
This "steam cleaner" is very time consuming to "clean" with, its not hot enough, it doesn't produce enough force and, its not practical for "cleaning" large areas.
Its not worth the space it will take up in your home, let alone, what you pay for it.
There are cleaning products for a reason.
You have been warned!
Customer Review: Continuous steam mode does not last long
Summary: 2 Stars
I just purchased this unit for cleaning my Armstrong kitchen floor. I filled it with 2 cups of water (32 oz) which is supposed to yield about 30 minutes of steam. I waited for the red light to go out which indicates 'steam ready' (just the opposite from the way you would expect an indicator light to work). I was using the extension wands with the floor brush and attached the provided cloth towel. I set the steam lock button for continuous steam. The initial burst of steam was good, but after about 15 seconds, the indicator light came on and the steam output and pressure was considerably diminished. I waited for the indicator light to go out and got about another 15 seconds of good steam pressure. I got frustrated with the starting and stopping and waiting for the steam ready each time. What is the purpose of the steam lock switch if you cannot get continuous steam? Have other users noticed the 'steam non-ready' light comming on frequently? Have other users noticed the reduced steam output when the indicator light is on? I do not think my unit is defective but have decided to return it.Customer Review: Couldn't wait to clean my bathroom
Summary: 4 Stars
Two of my sisters have raved about their steam cleaners so I researched them and decided on the SteamFast SF-275. It's definately lived up to expectations. For the first time my bathroom feels really clean. I've tried all sorts of chemicals to get rid of mold and mildew on the outside corner of my tub. I couldn't believe how well the steamcleaner killed it. I also hate using harsh chemicals in the tub. I rinse it again and again before putting my kids in it for bathtime and still cringe. Using the steam cleaner I didn't have to worry about that.
The wand and accessories are heavy duty. No steam leaked out anywhere. It's easy to use. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is a lack of space to put the attachments. I'm worried I'll lose them as I am not the most organized of people. I look forward to finding out where else in my house I can put my steam cleaner to use.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are expecting great results, you will be dissappointed. We found that you really need to work at it to remove stubborn stains. You end up having to attach the small scrubbing brushes as the steam alone will not do the job. The other larger brush attachments were fairly useless as the steamflow diminished when these were used. Save your money as you can achieve almost the same result in the same amount of time with a good scrub brush and cleaning product.
