Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Powerful Cleaning with Steam: Introducing the Steamfast SF-275 Canister Steam Cleaner by Mike Marks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for disinfecting without antimicrobial chemicals! and just about everything else

I recently bought a Steamfast SF-275 canister for general cleaning and replaced 2 other steamers in my house (a hand held steamer and a steam mop). ). I chose this Steamfast model because I felt it was the best for all the basic tasks I wanted to use it for: cleaning tile and parquet floors, refreshing fabrics and carpets, cleaning surfaces, degreasing, removing stains , windows/glass and mold/mildew. Removal and disinfection in the bathroom and kitchen. So far I have been very happy with both the performance and capacity of the SF-275 tank! Advantages: The jet of steam kills mold, bacteria, soap residue and fine dust quickly and easily. Water retention is much more effective than the chemical solvents and abrasives I've tried. And since microbes, being antimicrobial chemicals, can't develop resistance to steam (thanks in microbiology class!), I don't have to worry about them losing potency over time! Wipe down large spaces without stopping to fill them up. This saves a lot of time considering the steam cleaners MUST cool down before they can be refilled to avoid damaging the tank. - Sturdy, high quality extensions and heads that snap securely in place - HUGE mop head with hard plastic hook to attach mop head (no velcro on this thing to stuff in random pet hair!) - Textured microfiber mop pads absorb dirt and just soak it up to wash in the washing machine (tip: do not use fabric softener and do not put in the dryer!) - Casters make it easy to pull when cleaning and are light enough to handle easily if necessary thanks to the ergonomics. Super wearable! - Did I mention attachments? A small set of nylon cleaning brushes, a wire grill brush (tried it already, works great), a dish sponge, a large triangle brush for cleaning corners, and a giant scraper perfect for cleaning surfaces, windows, and glass (LOVE it for mirrors, countertops and shower doors). Cons: - Nothing to wrap around a fairly long power cord. - No brush/cloth attachment. actually make steam, just hot water, but that wasn't my experience. If you follow the directions and wait for the steam ready light to go off before pulling the trigger, you'll get good, steady, continuous steam, not hot water. If you don't wait for the finished light. Yes, you only get a jet of hot water. This applies to any steam device because steam is condensed water vapor and the water has to reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit to change phase. Overall I LOVE this steamer! It does pretty much everything I need without any chemical solvents or abrasives and is so quick and easy to use that it has actually increased my cleaning frequency.
