Put the power of steam into your cleaning with this steam cleaner from DeLonghi. Using a pressurized jet of steam to dissolve dirt and grease, this handy tool cleans floors, tiles, carpets, armchairs, car interiors, showers, radiators, shutters, ovens, and windows--virtually any grimy surface you can reach--all without the use of chemical fluids. The bright yellow, 1.8-liter boiling tank attaches to 6 feet of flexible hose with an adjustable 3-1/2-foot arm for floor-to-ceiling extension. DeLonghi includes safety features, too, like a switch to interrupt the flow of steam and a tank cap that doesn’t open if there’s steam in the boiler. Features we like: an illuminated on/off button, a childproof tank cap, smooth-rolling caster wheels, a carrying handle, wraparound cord storage, and clear covers on the power switches. For accessories, DeLonghi includes a crevice tool with brush, a carpet/floor attachment, a swiveling triangular brush for corners, a window-cleaning squeegee, a sturdy washcloth, and a tank-refill measuring cup. --Emily Bedard

THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE ON THIS PRODUCT!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: DeLonghi ST100P Steam It Clean Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
This is a Steam CLEANER not a Steam VACUUM. The first time I used this I was worried I would give myself a third degree burn. I read the directions and went very slowly. After the first canister of water was used up, I gave up. I was exhausted but extremely impressed with the cleaning of my bathroom and hallway walls and ceiling. The next week I tried again. Reread the instructions and found it easier to handle. I learned the easiest way to attach the cloth to the spring clips is to lay the cloth down flat, put the attachment on top of the cloth, press down on one spring and fold a corner of the cloth in. Then do the rest. I found it impossible to attach the cloth to the attachment while holding both in my hands. Today was my third time using the product. Again I reread the instructions for any hint of how to use this product better and still worried about burning myself. All my kitchen cupboards, walls and ceiling came clean without a problem except for one. I don't know why but that one had terrible ugly streaks. Finally, I took the Carpet/floor brush off (which works great on walls and ceilings) and sprayed the area with the thin line crevice tool. I knew then that the problem really was dirt and not a bad paint job. Lots of longs streams of grease starting rolling down my wall and though I felt I might be making things worse I soaked the wall up good with the crevice tool. I then put on the carpet tool with a utility towel wrapped on it and quickly went over the area. It came out super clean and beautiful. I had steam left in the canister and wondered what else I could use it on. (I find I hate to waste the steam and look for things to use it up on.) Anyway the first and second time I used this product, I wondered if it was worth it. Today was my third time and now I do believe it is. For me, the crevice tool worked better on my windows today then the window squeegee did last week. I found the squeegee hard to manipulate. I think it is a matter of learning how to use the product. I never liked the job my steam vacuum did on my kitchen floors. I steamed cleaned my kitchen floors with this today and it worked so great and was so easy I am throwing out my mops. (I have many mops. I have gone threw so many types and not really liked any of them.) Once you learn to regulate the steam with the on and off switch that is on the handle things will not get soaked and you should be able to clean a couch or chair with it. A steam vacuum might work easier for such a job but this machine would probably do a better job on getting out a tough stain. I am glad I didn't give up on this machine. It is easy to use once you understand how to use it. I hate cleaning, and this machine kind of motivates me since I always feel I might as well keep cleaning as long as there is steam left. I saw a consumer report on another steam cleaner where the attachments get blown off and bigger messes are created because of the product. Well the attachments on this one don't blow off, and I think I made quite a big mess on my greasy kitchen wall today, but when I changed the attachment I was able to wipe up all that grease easily. (And I guess a rag by itself could always wipe up such messes.) It would have been very hard to get that wall clean without this product. I did buy a lot of cheap utility cloths and I change them frequently while using this product. The machine does not suck up dirt. The rags pick the dirt up and need to be washed.

Powerful Steamer,
By "r50062" (Chandler, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DeLonghi ST100P Steam It Clean Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
This steamer has got big PSI(pressure). It's up there with professional steamers. It also holds 1.5 liters of water. This means it can crank out lots of steam for over 15 minutes.While no steamer can do the fake stuff shown on TV infomercials this steamer performs very well. It will clean tile grout to look new. Yup, makes your floor look new again. The 6ft steamer hose can get in cracks on the stove or refridgerator to blow stuff out that nothing else can. Good for degreasing ovens, auto engines and wheels but it's not as easy as they show on TV. Use a bristle scrub brush and a drop of dish soap to emulsify grease. Then wipe it up. Steamers don't clean soap scum on showers like they show on TV. Lime away still rules that domain. Steamers will blow away wierd black stuff in corners leaving a sanitary surface that looks brand new. Another steamer hint: use a wet vac to suck up the steam as you're cleaning carpet stains. Don't waste your time with a wimpy steamer. If you're going to get one you need BIG PSI with BIG water capacity like this one.

Carpet Cleaning,
By Charles Caravellis (Palos Verdes Estates, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DeLonghi ST100P Steam It Clean Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I found the other reviews to be fairly accurate, however, there is an important point missing for pure carpet cleaning. I have used the DeLonghi Steam Cleaner a few times on my carpet. This steam cleaner is not a steam vacuum. So, there is no functional way to get the dirt up once you've loosened it. The way DeLonghi suggests taking care of this is to use a towel that comes with the cleaner. You attach the towel to the end of the steam cleaner attachment, so the steam shoots through the towel. I have to say that this did not work for me. I had to use Resolve carpet cleaner with the steam brush to really get out tough stains. The towel they provided actually stained my white carpet, so don't use it!For steaming other hard to clean surfaces, it's worked fine. But for pure carpet cleaning, the DeLonghi leaves something to be desired.
