I agree about drying time,why they don't make the steam hotter I do not know. They tried hotter steam, but it shrunk rather badly and left wrinkly water behind. These things are steam cleaners. You all seem to be missing the point that the steam IS cleaned, but when people take this clean, fresh newly minted steam and rub it around on a grubby floor, it is bound to cause soiling of the steam. Clean the floor first, and you too will have clean steam that you can proudly show to your visitors. |

Steam at 121C for example, must be under 1bar (101kPa) pressure to attain this temperature. Therefore you would have to produce the steam in a pressure vessel (rather heavy and not very portable for a steam cleaner) and pipe it to the mop head. | user (1404) | ||

| 831462 | 2009-11-19 21:30:00 | I saw one advertised a few days ago and they mentioned 1300 watts of steam. I was going to complain about it but have not yet bothered. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 831463 | 2009-11-19 21:54:00 | Just saw the advert again. It was 1500 Watts of steam. | Sweep (90) | ||

Sounds a bit like the one the Mrs wanted This one (www.godfreys.co.nz) - but they had sold out. | wainuitech (129) | ||
