Steam Cleaner???

[imported_n1976jmk]

I am looking to purchase a compact steam cleaner that I can use in the car and want an affordable one($100 or less if possible).



A steam cleaner is what you want to use in a car interior correct?



I want to make sure the head will be able to fit into all the corners in the car.





thanks

can u clarify if you are looking for a steam type extractor for carpets and cloth seats, or for a machine that shoots steam to clean spots and crevices ?

? are you doing this just for car cleaning? because purchasing a machine that is a quality build for a higher price will give you years of return on your investment. Consider the fact that their are many use to a vapor steam machine, just not cleaning car, you are only limited by your imagination what you can clean. a 100 are less machine will not last or effective do the job day in and day out.

n1976jmk- The inexpensive steamers like that are, IME, of limited value. Gotta watch that they don't scald you when they break too. OK...I'm generalizing a lot from the two or three I had in that pricerange, but as Mr. Greensteam pointed out, this is the kind of equipment that just doesn't lend itself to that kind of economizing.



I *will* say that I got some small jobs done with the cheapie steamers, but overall I look back on them as a waste of money. You can do pretty much anything necessary to a car's interior without a steamer anyhow. Yeah, they're handy for emulsifying certain messes (less handy IMO for the "blasting stuff clean" that some people use 'em for), and yeah I use mine, but(!note that I'm not a Pro!) I don't use it all *that* much for interiors and for other jobs where I *do* kinda need it, only a good *potent* steamer is gonna get the work done.



Looking back, even my DeLonghi steamer, which has specs similar to what most people here are happy with, was *FOR ME* a waste of money. It simply won't do stuff that my Daimer can do. Having owned five or six steamers, these days I'm all about "go big, or just skip it" when it comes to what kind to buy.
