The Steam Canister SHOWDOWN: I've done the comparisons for you,
This review is from: Haan MS-30 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I have had my eye on the Ladybug steamer for months now, drooling over all it could do but it was far out of my price range. I own the Envirosteamer steam floor mop and love it, but I wanted something to get into tight spaces like around the toilet, in the tub, the oven, etc. With some Santa money I got more serious about purchasing a canister steamer in addition to my floor steamer and began some comparative testing and studying. Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood that is all "green built certified" which means, in order to have a green rating, all homes were built with no carpet and lots of people hate chemicals which means it's a neighborhood full of steam mops which makes comparing the models quite easy. That's a good thing because it just saved me over a thousand bucks because I wound up no longer wanting the Ladybug. Here's how they rate...you decide which is best for you:These are the canister mops I compared: Vapamore MR-100 Ladybug XL-2300 Haan Canister Reliable Enviromate V=Vapamore L=Ladybug H=Haan R=Reliable NUMBER OF STEAM JETS SPITTING OUT HOT STEAM: V-10 L-8 H-12 R-5 WATER PRESSURE CONTEST; (1st place being shoots steam the hardest) V- 2nd PLACE L-1ST PLACE: H- 3rd PLACE: R- 4th PLACE: CORD LENGTH: (so you don't have to stop, unplug, water cools some, replug in) V-18 feet L-15 ft H-18 feet R-8 feet recap: An 8' cord is INSANE. I couldn't even get across my kitchen counter or walk around my bed to steam all of the mattress without using an extension cord! STEAM TEMPERATURE V-256 degrees L-297 degrees H-212 degrees R-218 degrees Note: These temperatures are based upon using the small hose attachments. In every case that we used the long hose attachment included to turn these into a floor mop, the steam had to travel down the long hose so it cooled and wound up only being about 115 degrees by the time it reached the floor. Which results in very poor cleaning. Because of this, if you are wanting this mostly for floor steaming, I would suggest going with a steamer that shoots out hot steam directly onto the floor from its tank rather than through a long hose before reaching the floor as a canister mop does. TIME TO HEAT UP: V-10 min L-8 min H-3 min R-5 min WATER TANK: V-1.6 liters L-1.8+1.5 quarts H-20 oz R 2 liters CLEANING: For a controlled cleaning test, I mixed Dr. Pepper with sugar and spread it evenly across a 4' length of my stained concrete floor and kept the pets away until it dried completely in a gunky mess. I then tested each mop against it in lengthwise strips, moving them at the same pace after a full heat up, as well as testing each on its own strip of bathroom tile & grout. Here's who performed the best: Tie: Ladybug and Vapamore. These, due to the really hot temps, loosened the gunk on impact and made it VERY easy to clean my floor. Their hot temps and heavier steam also cleaned tile the best but Vapamore actually did a BETTER job on uneven surfaces like tile with grout..but don't expect shiny white grout because it wasn't exactly returned to looking brand new either. 2nd place:Haan...but it wasn't nearly as good as the above two. Last place: Reliable. Although the steam temp is hotter than the Haan, it doesn't shoot out as strong and only had 5 steam jets so this diminished its effectiveness Didn't come close to the V or L. All were at temps to kill bacteria and sanitize without using chemicals such as counters and mattresses, unless you tried to turn it into a floor mop which I don't suggest because the steam was too cool to clean as well as a real floor steam mop made for that purpose.. Other notes: The ladybug was the most awkward to carry. It just wasn't made for carrying up stairs, etc. Conclusion: Considering the Ladybug is over a thousand dollars more than any of the other mops, this was a real eye opener! I tested these with my friends and we all agreed, hands down, that the Vapamore was the best buy. And I love it! It cleaned the best BUT the Ladybug lasted much longer as far as cleaning time. However, Vapamore cleaned for 50 minutes prior to needing a refill which, for me, is all I need. That said, if you want to use this commercially and don't want to have to take time to refill, the Ladybug may be worth the steep price for you. Considering they have the same 3 year warranty though, I'd rather buy 4 Vapamores for the price of one Ladybug and have one in every room. I kid. The Reliable seemed to lack things that were just silly...like having a cord longer than my blow dryer and only having 5 steam jets.

It's an awesome machine,
By T. Hill (Laguna Niguel, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Haan MS-30 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
My bamboo and travertine floors get a lot of foot and paw traffic. I bought the machine with a little skepticism since the floor isn't clean unless I hand scrub it (the idea of swiffer grosses me out). I was amazed at the job this machine does and oh so happy with the labor and time-saving advantage in using it. I tested it on the walls, and viola! Nice job. I didn't need cleaners, which is a big plus as I am trying hard to do my part in environmental mending.Look forward to trying it on tiny tiny glass tiles surrounding my master suite bath. The only downfall is the cord length, but an extension cord remedied that.

This review is from: Haan MS-30 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I rec'd my Haan Steam Cleaner on Friday and I cleaned everything in sight! I cleaned my tile shower, my hardwood floors, my tile floors, my area rugs, my windows, my bed (yep), my countertops, inside my refrigerator...my pets and husband kept away in fear I would steam clean them! I used every attachment, every pad and I loved everything about it. My house sparkles and smells heavenly without any harsh cleaners. I cannot recommend more highly.
