Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with a powerful 900-watt heating system, this handheld steam cleaner offers a chemical-free way to clean and sanitize throughout the house. It removes stubborn grease and grime, mildew, and much more using pure and natural, penetrating, pressurized steam--reaching areas that brushes can't access. Use the handheld steamer to clean everything from tile floors and countertops to carpeting and upholstery, even baked-on grills. It also works great for detailing engines, wheels, floor mats, and other vehicle components. Steam cleaning not only removes dirt and debris quickly and thoroughly, providing a clean, nontoxic environment for pets and kids, it also eliminates odors, kills and controls allergens, and saves money on cleaning supplies--no more floor polisher, glass sparkler, oven cleaner, mold buster, tile blaster, or protective rubber gloves needed. To use, simply fill the 6-ounce water reservoir with regular tap water, wait about three minutes for the water to heat up, then press the steam-on-demand button for up to eight minutes of continuous steam. Other highlights include a "ready" indicator light, an ergonomically designed handle for comfort, and a 12-1/2-foot power cord. A full assortment of useful accessories comes included: a steam jet nozzle, a large steam nozzle, a brass utility brush, a short nylon utility brush, a long nylon utility brush, a squeegee, a cloth cover, and a measuring cup. Lightweight and portable, the handheld steam cleaner measures 14-4/7 by 6 by 8-2/5 inches.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one actually works, January 20, 2011

I'm giving this five stars not because it's perfect but because compared to another brand I've owned and two others I've tried, this is the best. It actually does blast dirt off with steam. Yes, the reservoir is small, but the cleaner is hand held, so if the tank were much larger, the weight of the water would be too heavy for easy use. Today, I cleaned my kitchen floor grout with it. It did not clean every strip, but it did a lot better than my upright floor steamer. If I used a rag in addition, and rubbed the tough spots a little, I came out with clean grout. Yay. I also cleaned the glass doors of my fireplace screen, which I had not been able to do with chemical cleaning agents, and I blasted out the old greasy residue around my antique stove knobs. I'm very impressed.

I am generally pleased with this product. So far I can identify only one problem. The water reservoir is much too small. The steam just does'nt last long enough to be useful. The small amount of steam made available does not justify the cost. When I am able to do so,I will order a machine with a larger reservoir.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide my opinion.

I bought this cleaner at Tuesday Morning less than 6 months ago. Loved it! Then it quit, after using it four times. Of course, since it worked, I threw out the box and the receipt. On sale it was $50. I am getting another one, but not this brand. If you get one, it would be worth saving the receipt--put it in the box and save everything.
