I liked the one that my boss got for me at work that I bought one for my house! Worked for old hard kitchen grease, grout, tile base boards, walls, you name it! No chemicals...distilled water only! I paid $119.00 + tax. Every home should have one!
@racerguy5002 жыл бұрын
I have the same one. And yes, use only distilled water in it. Mine plugged up after about 6 months and had to clean it out. It works amazingly well. Start the spray before you apply it to the area as it shoots the water out of the nozzle before the steam gets there. I've had it well over a year and used it on everything except my Durango interior that I bought it for. Catch them on sale and with a 20 percent off coupon and you can't beat the deal.

I don't know how well yours held up but I had to exchange for another one twice. I think 6 months was the longest one lasted. I ended up moving to the Dupray line of steam cleaners, and they kick ass. I first got the Neat which lasted 5 years even though I abused the heck out of it. Now, I have the Home. The pressure is better in the Duprays and they get a lot hotter than the Central Machinery.

Lastly water leaks all out the bottom of the handle as well. After this I looked up reviews and this is a common problem. My opinion better off buying the McMullan 1270 or 1275 they're they're same price but is a way better piece of equipment.
