Five Star Reviews: | 54% Best Steam Cleaner August 29, 2015 This is my second Steamfast steam cleaner. The first lasted 10 years (the grounding plug broke off and the tubing developed a leak.) This unit makes doing my floors so easy! Very powerful steam. I learned early on with my first unit to let the steam do most of the work, so slow, easy passes work best. My kitchen floor is tile with a light grout. The first time I used my Steamfast, the grout was actually back to its original color! I use it to steam the toilet area and then just wipe away the gunk. I steam the top of my glass cooktop - cooked on foods just wipe off. My husband used it to clean his BBQ grates (while I was away -- guess I bragged too much) and it made that easy as well. One of my best purchases. Best money I've ever spent May 21, 2015 I bought this to steam clean the floor grout in my 25 year old house. I had previously tried a dozen different ways to clean the grout and NOTHING worked. I seriously was about to rip up and replace the entire floor when I decided to try the steam cleaner. The results were nothing short of amazing, and it wasn't difficult at all--no scrubbing needed. I did spray some grout cleaner first and let it sit for a few minutes, but then used the steam cleaner, and the dirt poured out. Incredible! SteamFast SF-275 April 15, 2014 Bought this because my Daughter wanted something portable and was a reasonable handling size. It's very portable, when comparing other like products it was also cost savings, the next reasonable solution would have cost almost double the price. No complaints, although not everything cost effective is always a catch-all and in this case it does spots on carpet well, but would be a bit much to consider this item a carpet cleaner, it's really not. However, for ANY firm surface cleaning, it excels. Kitchen, Bathrooms and wood floors are a snap. When formulating this critique, bang for buck and function was primary. There is nothing in the advertising that is false, it does what it states it will do and based on that rates a five star. Often people are looking for something that an item won't do and base their response on that expectation, given the advertised functions of this cleaner, it meets all the criteria it was bought for, based on the provided information. It would have been 'Nice' to have a larger water input solution, but that was also very clear and thus anticipated. A worthy product at a good price point. Very Pleased! May 28, 2013 My entire house has an unusual tile floor pattern. Over the years, the beige grout had darkened in high traffic areas. After spending an entire day ON the floor trying to clean a very small area with a small hand steamer and grout brush, I gave up and purchased the SteamFast. I was concerned about the reviews from others regarding durability - but found NO issues at all. This is a great little unit! Not only is my grout really, really clean, not one attachment broke. Cleaning was almost effortless with the wand extensions and small brush attachment. Being able to stand up (saving my back) and getting such a great result was worth the cost of the machine! When using the steamer, let the steam do the work. A small nylon grout brush is available to help loosen dirt, not to scrub it out. If your grout is super filthy, you can pre-treat the grout for 15 minutes with baking soda/water, detergent mixture or special grout cleaner to loosen the grime before your steam clean. Another reviewer stated the brush would melt due to the high heat - I did NOT find that to be the case. One brush cleaned 1300 square feet of some pretty dirty grout. The bristles were angled and dirty when finished, but not melted. The wand attachments did not break or flex. Once I got the hang of passing the nozzle back and forth (without pushing down on the brush/wand) as I passed the steam over the grout - I found the process was much easier and faster. I would highly suggest using a microfiber-type mop to mop up the water from the steam vapor as you clean each small area. The mop will pick up the dirty water that comes out of the grout. You will be amazed how much dirt there is. I had to rinse out the mop quite often. I did visit the SteamFast site and purchase a pack of extra grout brushes (which arrived in just a few days), and set up a subscription order with free shipping. the cost was very reasonable, and hopefully will prompt me to clean my grout more regularly! I do with there was a better design for storing the unit's hose and cord after use. You will need to secure them in some fashion to keep them from unraveling. There are a number of attachments that are included, and found a plastic box to be helpful to store those. This is a good product, and I highly recommend it. It will be replacing my current stick-style steam mop. This unit is much more powerful, and the steam really does last for 45 minutes! Does the job ! March 22, 2010 I bought this steam cleaner after reading dozens of reviews of various steam cleaners. I wanted a machine that would do two things: 1) Clean all of the grout in my tiled floors (kitchen and baths). After reading all of the reviews I really did not know what to think since there are some people who love them all and some who think they are a waste of money. I have concluded that people who did not like their machines must have expected them to do all of the work. If this were just to clean the floors instead of using a traditional mop I would not buy it but it really did the trick for cleaning the grout. Warning, you do need some serious elbow grease but it makes the grout look like new. 2) Clean the beadboard in my guest bathroom. Anyone who has beadboard can attest to the fact that it is very difficult to clean. Prior to the steam cleaner I had to spray cleaner in each vertical groove and use a Q-tip to clean the dirt from the groove (especially difficult at the bottom where the beadboard meets the wood trim). The steam cleaner washes the dirt right out of the groove and just requires a quick dry with a towel. In addition to working perfectly for the two main purposes that I bought the machine for it is also great for cleaning the other woodwork in the house (with two dogs that is saying a great deal) as well as cleaning the grime for the outside window frames (that groove that the screens fit into that get all of the outside grime caught in them (another old Q-tip job). As far as the quality of the Steamfast SF-275, it is very sturdy. It far exceeded my expectations as I had only previously seen the Shark products in the store and they look very flimsy. | 68% There are no reviews yet | 82% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 24% Great steamer but needs a better securing system for the accessory brushes when scrubbing. May 12, 2017 The steamer works great and does a great job of cleaning. I wish they had a better system for securing the brass wire brush as it pops off any time you put pressure on it to scrub. I waste a lot of time putting it back on when it pops off and have tried to secure it to no avail. If you buy this with the intention to put pressure on the scrubber while steam cleaning beware as it will give you problems. Otherwise, the steamer does a great job cleaning stubborn things like grease. I do like the extra large capacity tank as it allows you to continue to work without shutting it down to refill it. Great product for cleaning January 30, 2014 Love the trigger lock for continuous steam. Large reservoir allows extra steaming time. The long hose and wheeled base make cleaning multiple areas effortless. The top handle could be designed a little better. It takes some practice to lock the steam jet into the holder. Sometimes I worry that the handle will fall out if I am carrying the steamer around by it. Other than that, there are no complaints. The steam power is great and there are plenty of attachments. With the extra long steaming time, I finish the job with leftover steam. So I try steaming random things. I've even been able to get baked grease off a pan and I renewed an ugly looking sponge. Only small attachments can be stored within the unit. Great Deal January 26, 2014 This mop surpasses most other mops on the market because of its versatility. Granted you have to wait at least a minute for the boiler to get the steam going, so a little patience is in order. But once it gets going, LOOK OUT. You can lock the steam button down just as you can on irons. And when you unlock it the steam stops instantly. Because of this you can leave it plugged in. It has many more attachments compared to the others and its capacity is 48 oz, which allows for continuous cleaning for about 40 minutes. My only beef with it is that as a professional cleaner of condos and private residences I have to carry my cleaning tools from car to house and from ground floor to first floor at each and every job. I can't understand why the designers of this great tool didn't put a handle on the top of it or some sort of recessed pocket to grab hold of it. When I go to pick it up and carry it there is no way to hold on to it. I'm worried about dropping this baby so I hug it tightly against my clothing with its icky wheels against me. It's the one thing that is missing on an otherwise savvy investment. Did a good job with my dirty grout April 27, 2013 I ordered this specifically for cleaning tile floors and walls in kitchen and bath - as well as some really grimy grout. It replaces a hand-held steamer that I loved, but I was looking for something reasonably priced where I could do some continuous cleaning without waiting for multiple cool down and refill/reheats. This little unit did everything I needed for it to do. I was able to clean my kitchen grout in a single cleaning session of around an hour. The steam is wet - and the 48 ounces of water puts a lot of moisture into the air, so you may want to think about using this on a dry day when you can have windows open. Just keep a towel nearby to wipe up the dirty water as you go. The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 stars is that the brushes don't last very long. It comes with several accessories including some nylon brushes that are not robust enough for grout and tile cleaning. But it only comes with one small metal brush. I still have a little life left in the one that came with the machine - but it is clear that heavy cleaning jobs like grimy grout will go through these metal brushes pretty quickly. Unfortunately - Steamfast's website shows that the metal brushes are currently out of stock and this seems to be the only place you can order them online, but I am planning on stocking up as soon as they become available again. The brushes are reasonably priced - but you need to factor that into the equation. Overall - a good value for the money and I am pleased. I love the cleaner, but not so much the company... April 5, 2013 The cleaner is AMAZING!!! I LOVE this little steam cleaner! We bought a foreclosed house a year and a half ago and the people who lived here before us were FILTHY. The grout in our house was black! BLACK black. I have spent at least 20 hours scrubbing grout, and I had only gotten to 1/2 of it and it was not all the way clean. I had scrubbed so hard that my wrists were swolen for about two days after each round of scrubbing!. This morning I spent about an hour and steam cleaned all of the grout in my kitchen, and it is CLEAN!!!!!! YAY!!!! Sucess! And why I don't like the company is because they make you create a subscription if you want extra parts for the cleaner. This morning I completely wore out two of the brushes cleaning the grout (the wire brush worked like a charm on the grout) and they want me to sign up for an annual subscription to get more brushes. I would prefer to just buy attachments as needed. But the cleaner is amazing! I even mopped the rest of the tile floor with the mop attachment when I was done and I will never use a regular mop again! It was wonderful :) | 19% There are no reviews yet | 18% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 8% Steam is ok but can't carry around , bad handlle April 4, 2017 Steam is ok but not very powerful. Bad handle design. No way to carry around There is room for improvement. October 16, 2016 It gets quite hot on the good side. I had to set the unit up on a tall table to reach up to steam wall paper. I had to stop about every 20 seconds to a minute to allow the machine to build up steam again. This machine is good for lightly soiled floors. but it disappointed in the bathroom on tiled tub area January 31, 2016 Ok for floors, but it disappointed in the bathroom on tiled tub area. Was easy putting it together but was disappointed with its performance September 3, 2014 Have tried so many steam cleaners and was so excited to get this out of the box and use. Was easy putting it together but was disappointed with its performance. When it finally starts to steam it has a good amount of steam but I could only use it for a minute at a time before the blue light came on indicating that it needed to heat up, so I would have to wait 3-4 min to use then it would give me a minute of steam and have to wait again and so on. I packed it back in the box and sent it back. So I'll be researching for another one to buy, I think I may have to pay more $$ to get a good one!! Not a cure-all for mold. May 4, 2013 Wanted to use this steamer to try and clean some old stains and mold from the grout in my shower. Steamer did improve some of the problem, but did not completely clean the discolored areas. I'm guessing that the stains, mold and discoloration had been neglected for too long. Not sure that any of the other steamers out there could have done any better. Had to remove the old grout and do the whole shower over. Learned that you can't neglect cleaning these grout areas for too long because the stains will then become permanent. All in all, steamer did produce some good steam, but could not completely clean the grout because I had let it go for so long. Yes, I would recommend this machine for lesser challenging cleaning jobs. | 8% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 4% elbow grease might be a better October 24, 2016 Aren't sure yet what to think? Thought it would mean the grout in between the tile in our bathrooms and it barely touched it. A lot money for a product that I'm not so sure about.....elbow grease might be a better option Cuts thru grime without effort, but scalds the hand that holds it December 22, 2015 I really like how the steam cuts thru and just melts the grime away, but the locks don't stay in place, because the springs won't stay on. Last time I used it, I scalded my hands so very badly that it took a month for my hand to heal It has already had a malfunction which has rendered the ... June 5, 2015 It has already had a malfunction which has rendered the unit unusable. The cap couldn't be gotten off. Releasing all the steam after use as instructed appears to have not been enough. The cap sealed itself to the tank. Didn't like it so I sent it back July 17, 2014 Didn't like it so I sent it back. Didn't make wrinkles go away easily. Just wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Amazon was good about letting me return it. Continuous steam mode does not last long June 21, 2010 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. | 2% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 10% Do not get to remove grout from tiles. July 30, 2017 Did not take grout from between tiles as claimed. Takes up room in closet and will probably not get used again. Called Steamfast up about adding cleaning chemicals to the water, and they said no, only vinegar to remove calcium depostirs. Also, they recommend distilled water. Great for floors, no good for bird cages September 22, 2016 It does a great job on floors. I bought it hoping it would work on large bird cages. No, it doesn't. The gunk left behind is sticky and hard to remove, and it leaves white marks all over the cage from liquified poop. The tiny round scrubber pad was destroyed within minutes. The brushes included are too widely spaced to be useful on cage bars. That left the mop head, which didn't have enough scrubbing power to do the cage. Much easier to take outside, hose down and scrub. Still hoping for something that works on bird cages. I've had it for over a year now. After about six uses something clogged even tho I only used distilled water. The steam would not come out the mop head. Customer Service tried to help, but they were useless. I tried swishing vinegar around, I even tried steaming the vinegar. Lots of steam, just wouldn't come out the mop head. It was great while it lasted, but an awful lot of money for such little use. Failed again April 19, 2014 My second one died yesterday. Bought it last October. First one lasted a bit longer right at a year. When it works, it does a good job. our 1500 sq feet of tile couldn't be cleaner. We do a cleaning twice a month. But big dissappointment when if fails again. I need to know which one to purchase for the future. One that will work longer than a year. Too bad Dysan doesn't make one. My vacuum is still going strong after 12 plus years. Not worth the space it takes up April 4, 2014 I ordered this cleaner based on Amazon reviews and it's price. I don't know what everyone else expects from a unit like this, but I was greatly disappointed. I couldn't get anything cleaned with it and sent it back for a refund. I believe you would need to purchase a very high dollar ($350 +) steamer in order do the level of cleaning that these steamers "claim" to work on effectively. stopped working after 2 uses! June 14, 2012 I just received my steamer last night. It worked great for two water refills. But after trying to refill the water for a 3rd time, I am not getting any power to the machine. I checked the breakers and the plug. I even tried from a different plug, still no luck! So I let it sit overnight, thinking it might have overheated. Tried it this morning, nope! No power at all when you turn the button on! I am SO disappointed! I will be returning it. | 3% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
