I was expecting a steam generator that could be held and operated with one hand and this vacuum cleaner delivers. I was happy to find that it starts up much quicker than I expected. I had never used a steam cleaner before and expected it to heat up in five to ten minutes; in fact it takes more than two minutes. I bought some distilled water and started with about 100ml of water (about 1/3 of its capacity) and was able to start cleaning right away. The instructions are adequate (expressed in good, idiomatic English) and printed in more languages than I need, but the print is so small I sometimes had to use a magnifying glass to read it. I suppose those used to using this cleaner won't have any trouble, but I may have spent an hour memorizing the instructions. I thought I might need special protective gear (steam is dangerous) but the goggles I normally wear proved adequate and I didn't get burned or even come into contact with uncomfortably warm surfaces while using this cleaner. I am very satisfied with this vacuum cleaner and I hope that it will serve me for many years to come. (I can't rate it for travel as I haven't used it on any trips yet, nor have I used it for deep cleaning.)
