Harbor Freight Steam Cleaner Review - Very Simple Very Easy Very Effective -

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Weathertech matts stain so easy. I hit mine once with a 5000psi pressure washer and they still looked stained at the end but that's just how they dry

[@FordBossMe]

Right the stain you won't get rid of, people in the comment section don't get that

[@GusMahn]

Dress the matts with Gummifix. They'll look like new and won't be slippery at all.

[@Todd66]

Love my Weathertechs. I put them in every vehicle I get.

[@Motorsportsgeek]

@@Todd66 It's a must if you live in the salt belt, so many cars have electronics right under your feet

[@msk3905]

There are easy to clean and don’t need a steam cleaner but mine does a great job, you need to use a good cleaner and scrub then clean wash or steam off. After apply a protectant to keep it from staining in future. And good god are you a bull in a china shop.

[@bh10k17]

If nothing else no one can say your a schill or dishonest. You broke it in less than 2 minutes. And took ownership of your mistake. Taught everyone what not to do AND still showed its usefulness. Cannot ask for more from a review. Thank you. Great clip.

[@FordBossMe]

Yeah I was indeed careless with that

[@bh10k17]

@@FordBossMe careless or not , it's the same thing anyone would do. You just pointed it out so everyone knows what not to do while showing your not a salesman. Thank you for showing it and not editing it out. That's what makes great informative reviews. 👍

I bought the Harbor Freight steam cleaner a year ago to clean tile grout in a house I bought. It really was easy to use, works well and is still working as well now as the day I bought it. The key is to only use distilled water.

[@ZoeyR86]

I have a much larger McCalluch mc1385 i use for detailing my cars it's a beast takes a while to fulling heat up but worth the wait. Run a cup a distilled white vinegar every 10 tanks and try and use distilled water as well stuff will come out cleaner and prevents the mineral build-up

[@mikeoman7601]

I’m so relieved now that I have video proof that I’m not the only one that breaks things right out of the box. Have a great holiday, Rich.

[@FordBossMe]

You too!

[@mr_big_pea_pea4013]

I got a steam Cleaner from Harbor Freight years ago. Still love it!

[@chrishayden7016]

I'm impressed. You got a lot done with less than a quart of plain water. I wonder how it would work on old, oily underhood grime.

[@FordBossMe]

That's next

[@rposton919]

Had mine for a while. Back in the dirt bike racing days the shop had a beast of a steam cleaner with a burner that ran on diesel fuel. Lots of steam and more pressure than you'd think. It didn't play around, no brush needed. I miss that thing....

[@jimburgess9205]

Those don’t mess around.

[@len9483]

What was the name of the steamer? I need one like that for my dirt bikes, side by sides and mountain bikes.

[@rposton919]

@@len9483 Dunno. Was near thirty years ago. Sorry.

[@TXCherokee]

I recommend using distilled water Rich. The steam cleaner works great on floor mats

[@kellismith4329]

Yes we used to use them for defrosting fridge evaporators when the defrost system failed, made quick work of those iceburgs for sure - the machine will live much longer if you only feed it distilled water

[@u.p.tinkering]

Thanks for the review Rich!! Was looking at getting one of these for small engine cleaning on atv's and dirtbikes before I work on them and after. I have the chicago electric little ultrasonic cleaner and have used it tons over the last year, kids even use it. Going to upgrade to the bigger unit they now carry so I can clean bigger carbs and parts That steamer seems to put out a ton of steam, I would probably end up using that little jet wand one you used on the mats the most for what I do. Have a great 4th with family and friends and thank you for all the great content you put out!!!!

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Nice review of the steam cleaner Rich thanks for sharing. Happy Fourth of July weekend.

[@redwave4454]

Love the reviews Rich! Keep ‘em coming. Happy Independence Day friend!

[@paugie40]

I hit mine with some super clean rinse them and then steam good as new after

[@Wildman9]

Good Morning Rich , this tool has a plethora of uses . With a little bit of simple green it will definitely help with getting those stains out. Compact unit ,not like a diesel powered full blown machine. If the price was good then its a no brainer . I would have liked it more if it had a metal tip and extensions . But at a good price it definitely has potential . Have a great 4th to you and everyone . Stay safe ,and don't burn your hands on those fireworks . Light your fuse and get the hell out of Dodge .Hahaha .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍💥💥💥

[@FordBossMe]

I'll try again

[@proudcanadian5713]

Nice product review Rich. Glad you're happy with the machine, bud.

[@anablackford7457]

I used vinegar to descale it and now it won't produce steam. Can it be saved??

[@williamsinger4124]

Those mats are just like the rubber bed mat in my avalanche. Snatch it out and clean it up, but there's always stains left. No biggie since it's used as a truck anyway lol. That old gmc is looking brand hammer new rich

[@TXCherokee]

I have one almost exactly like that one but unit is yellow. Works great steam cleaning tile in shower

[@calimilk1113]

Cool I love harbor freight!!!!!

[@msschill]

Can you add water while it's in use or do you need to let it cool down first? If you need to wait, how long is that time period before you can add water?

[@FordBossMe]

Directions say 20min but I just released the pressure slowly and opened

[@pwrshots]

Nice but too time consuming for detailing mats. May work well though for door jams. I use super clean with a brush on the mats.

[@SwampDonkey225]

Is that a Stanley Steamer?

[@Scooter30FTW]

I had a smaller handheld steam cleaner for a while. It stopped working one day,probably because I only put tap water into it.

[@Mike88GT]

Good review of that steam cleaner, thanks. I would have used simple green and a pressure washer on those mats and be done in a few minutes

[@FordBossMe]

I know everybody's going to keep referencing the pressure washer but every single one of you that reference the pressure washer know exactly what I'm talking about when I say you know damn well it wouldn't have been that easy to pull it out because nobody likes putting it away nobody likes rolling up the hose nobody likes rolling up the cord and for something like this it's not worth even pulling it out

[@FordBossMe]

It's nice that we say stuff like that on paper but in reality we know it ain't going to happen that easy

[@tihzho]

I got one, the handle chews up your hand if you're scrubbing hard with the brush attachment.

[@debbiemiele1662]

Wonder if it would work on stained Line X bed liner?

[@Madisonsemien9857]

Just purchased one today for 99 bucks but im thinking it was used had water inside that look like scale and does not have constant steam like urs its goin back tomorrow for another

[@intillzah6160]

Not bad at all.. May have to put that on the list......

[@joejones711]

Rich, can you make a video cleaning the headliner using the steam cleaner on a f 150 from where the cargo light / third brake light area leaks inside and stains the headliner?

[@FordBossMe]

Mine doesn't do that so I don't know that it's going to do any good with me doing a video and not having anything to show for it

[@MIGMISAUTO]

You wouldn't want to use that on a headliner anyway it would melt the foam and breakdown the glue. You will have a very clean but sagging headliner. Use a Tornador air tool and wipe\blot dry with a chamois.

[@mikecoffee288]

Thank you for the video. Harbor freight sometimes has good stuff for not a lot of money. This tool seems ok, however, and maybe I am washing my mats wrong, but I usually take my car floor mats out a few times a year (they are rubber) and use either my hose at home or the power washer self service bay at the car wash. I would be interested though to see if this steam cleaner would work well on stains on seats and furniture both in a vehicle and at home.

[@FordBossMe]

I mean there's like a thousand different ways to wash your floor mats just because you do them that way doesn't mean they're wrong and I do them a different way doesn't mean they're wrong this is just the way I chose to review a product whenever you got sticky crap spilled all over the rubber floor mats and stickers and gum this takes it right off where other stuff doesn't I don't understand how you would have ever come to the conclusion or even thought that maybe you're doing something wrong based on this video

[@amazingtbone]

Time to go get the harbor freight plastic welder.

[@coreybabcock2023]

Idk if I would have a use for a steam cleaner yet I gotta think about it now

[@charliedc2A]

Be awesome to sanitize interiors, looks like it worked well. 👍👍

[@davidjudge2913]

Steam will not clean by itself. You need a detergent also.

[@FordBossMe]

We will try different ways

[@ItsTheCostanza]

I also use chemical guys and certain car care products. Not bad

[@808ecobeast7]

Yup, nothing is made in America anymore ... but &#%#%@&! ....I ordered one from Harborfrieght just now ... not bad price plus shipping to Hawaii ... will also try it on my oil stain in my parking stall...tried everything else but hopefully the steam will raise the oil up so I can get to it 0:35 ...😂😂😂 Love your video!

[@FordBossMe]

I like it I've been wanting one for a while

[@gregw6251]

Longevity of the harbor freight stuff leaves much to be desired. Let us know if it lasts more than a couple of months, if that.

[@alanbagen5019]

Drill brush and power washer work better on mats, definitely does it faster

[@FordBossMe]

That may be but also definitely more to pull out

[@marthacontreras512]

Ebay $ 250 and Harbor freight only $129

[@coreybabcock2023]

The struggle is real with this machine !

[@tamravincent5097]

heck with fixing it. Go return it and they will give you a new one for free

[@coreybabcock2023]

I saw a couple at a unique thrift store I should have got it

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Store in MN?

[@jimamizzi1]

Hang on, was that the first sighting of your lovely fiancé? Don’t think I’ve ever seen your better half before. You’ll have to get her on and do a review on you😜😂

[@FordBossMe]

Yep briefly

[@losoj30]

Seems like a pressure washer wound have done better.

[@FordBossMe]

Buddy this is just a review on this product we ain't talking about the pressure washer

Sometimes Harbor Freight Tools is Horror Fright Fools when it comes to some of the tools & the recalls

The comment section is failing today for sure

Support the video next time

[@alanbagen5019]

That’s not really clean

[@FordBossMe]

I mean it took all the grime and stuff out of the floor mats I don't know what you would expect I mean that's kind of rude because it is clean

[@robertborchert4208]

We have one but not purchased from Harbor Freight .I only buy made in America products when ever possible ,I hate China Buy American we need the jobs here.We wish you and your family a very happy and fun Independence day . bodymanbob from Alabama.

[@FordBossMe]

Well you're not buying anything it's not made in some other country now so that whole meeting America thing that's gone

[@francisleonetti1120]

@@FordBossMemost things, but there are some things still made here, sometimes not as good as China! I wish it changes. China needs to be tariffed higher even though things would get more expensive here! Btw, China Joe ain’t doing anything along those lines, just driving up prices no matter what!
