| 1147370 | 2010-10-24 20:18:00 | Any one got one? any good? which brand? am thinking of getting one, as 95% of my house is lino after ripping up the carpet . . . . . . . the lino was under the carpet . . . . . . original owners were english, and it was the thing to do in the 60's??? having animals and a asthmatic child, we have noticed a difference with removing the crappy old carpet, and now want a mop that doesnt include buckets of yukky water . . . . . . . . pro's? or cons? the cost is a bit over the top, but trademe has a huge range of them . . . . . . thanks beetle :) |

| 1147372 | 2010-10-24 20:52:00 | We got a Steam Express - Same one As here on Trademe (www.trademe.co.nz) - it was around $200. Works well. Auction closes later today going by the site. Dont believe the bull about instant dry floors, it doesn't happen, they do take a short while to dry off no matter what the brand. Out one even got some drips of paint off the floor :blush: that the drop sheet missed when I was doing the kitchen renovation . Edited: as the ad says "Pads can be brought from Godfreys" SWMBO simply puts ours through the wash, so no idea how much they are. note2: I see the person is in Lower hutt and must pick up. Just an Offer: If you wanted to buy it and won the auction, I could collect it and ship it up + the cost of freight what ever that is. |

| 1147373 | 2010-10-24 21:25:00 | I have one,bought at one of the home shows. Works quite well, can leave floor wetter than I would like.Certainly clean though. It has been suggested that by there very nature they can't produce enough heat to dry floor as much as one would like. |

| 1147375 | 2010-10-25 02:03:00 | I can't understand how the Aqua Lazer comes with 1500 Watts of steam. Since when has steam been measured in Watts? |

| 1147376 | 2010-10-25 02:08:00 | A question that may make me look like a complete idiot... Does steam mops work with carpets? |

| 1147377 | 2010-10-25 03:04:00 | I think you can get Attachments for carpet. But to Quote SWMBO - (just asked her) we were told (apparently I weren't listening at the time :rolleyes: ) That its not a good Idea, as the mops dont suck out all the moisture from carpet, and the backing has a tendency to rot over time. |

| 1147378 | 2010-10-25 03:50:00 | Thanks. I'll take you up on that if I keep winning....... Can do, also by the questions asked, looks like the person will courier it as well ? |

Why not ? 1 Joule/second = 1 watt Or you could have 1BTU/sec =1055 watts I think the messrs James Watt and James Joule knew what they were doing :clap |
