Carpet Cleaner Reviews

I bought this hoping not to have to scrub my shower anymore. This did not happen, unfortunately--a coating of [a cleaner] and some elbow grease will do more for your shower than the Steam buggy. But it is good for the shower tracks where hair and who-knows-what builds up and it's hard to scrub out. Also good for: inside the microwave/oven/toaster oven, diaper pails, cat boxes, bird cages, other things with caked on grime or too gross to touch. The attachments are pretty useless and the steam jet does not have that much "oomph" behind it. It does, however, get into small spaces, and takes mold off a wall reasonably well. It also can get into small spaces with the steam jet that your fingers/washrag can't. It is good for chemically sensitive people--I did enjoy not having to smell harsh cleansers while cleaning. But if you really want a good steam cleaner, spend a bit more and get a professional model, is my take. I don't think I'd buy it again. Note to those hoping to steam clothes with this to get wrinkles out: Forget it. It doesn't work that well, and after you burn yourself with scalding water dripping out of the attatchment head a couple of times, you will beg to go back to a real iron.

The steam buggy is something that seems too good to be true. Well, it is, but it's not BAD either. It does great on that gross orange stuff that showers and sinks get when you don't wash them for a while. It is better for soap scum (with a scrubbing attatchment and a LOT of elbow grease) than Comet or other abrasive cleansers. But you do still have to scrub--it won't just disappear. Of course, this depends on how long you let something sit. I tested mine on the super-dirty shower today, which I hadn't cleaned in over a month (SO glad I'm anonymous here) and it took me a good 3-4 hours to get it clean, but I doubt it would have been a great deal faster anyway. Plus, it got stuff off my shower that no cleaner ever has. Takes mildew, etc. off your ceiling- will also remove paint if left too long on one spot, I discovered :( It is really great for gross jobs like cat boxes, garbage cans, etc. and hard to reach things like the track of the shower door. But you can't just point it at something like the kitchen counter and have it cleaned--it will loosen the dirt, but you still have to at least wipe it off. Nevertheless, it is so effective at cleaning showers, refrigerators, etc. that it was worth the price, for me. It doesn't make things effortless, just easier and less smelly. And a lot of stuff you will still have to scrub--sorry, but nothing short of an industrial steam jet is going to just "melt off" baked on pizza cheese from your oven.

I am definitely glad I made this investment. The product truly cleans as shown on the infomercial. I am chemical-sensitive and this makes cleaning a health hazard for me. The Steam buggy provided healthy option to clean and sanatize my home!
I had purchased the Eureka HotShot prior to ordering the Steam Buggy, and though this product was effective, the resevoir was much smaller and would only steam clean for 3 to 4 min. and I had to refill 3 times more often with HotShot vs. Steam Buggy.

Steam Buggy is fairly light and easy to tote. The attatchments are much easier to change than on HotShot. At first use, SB was a little cumbersome, but one I got the hang of it, cleaning was a breeze!

An added benefit:
While cleaning, you inadvertantly get a sauna and facial at the same time! =)
