Portable steam cleaners have been hot news in the past few weeks. They seem to be everywhere: In the news, magazines, on TV, in the stores, just plain and simple everywhere. Many make the decision to purchase a steam cleaner but are then overwhelmed by the rather large amount of choices thrown their way. It is important to first figure out what exactly you are looking for and then go for the buy. With this article, we can hopefully introduce you to a couple of portable steam cleaners that will help pick the right one.
There are many different forms when it comes to portable steam cleaners: They come in upright, canister, and even hand held models. Portable steam cleaners might not be as powerful compared to stationary models, but what they lack in power, they make up for in price and versatility. Also many of these models come with additional on-board tools to make them more efficient and help the user out. We want to introduce three models to you that we found to be very good. The first model is the Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop S3101W.
Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop S3101W is one of the newer products of the Euro-Pro line and it has the capability of cleaning any type of floor, which make sit unique among its direct competitors. The Euro-Pro has also been called the work horse of the steam cleaner world as it is capable of both cleaning and sanitizing the ground in one sweep. When purchasing the Shark Steam Mop you will receive a carpet attachment and two thick microfiber pads. The first item is very good and surprised us when we tested it. The last one is necessary for the mop to do its work.
The next product we want to introduce to you is the Dirt Devil Purpose for Pets Portable Extractor SE3890. The Dirt Devil was originally created for pet holders, but given its test results this is a good choice for any house hold that is prone to stains. It can be used for the floor and for upholstery. A word of caution: If you use it for upholstery do a spot test first as the machine may be too strong for the upholstery and ruin it. As far as different pet odors goes, the machine was capable of eliminating everything we threw its way.
The last machine we want to tell you about is the Hoover SteamVac Duo Spot Cleaner F5505. With a strong brand name in its back, we looked almost extra critical at the SteamVac Duo and found that it was another machine that absolutely astounded us. The SteamVac Duo can be used for spot elimination as well as for the entire room. It has very unique tank design that allows it to be carried around very easily. This is very helpful when it comes to things like cleaning stairs for example.
As you can see there is a variety of portable steam cleaners available each with its own unique advantages. Go find the one that you like and that fits your needs.
