Title: Steam Cleaner
Post by: simonfoy on January 10, 2005, 01:41:44 am

I used to have the Morphy Richards Grime Buster but it broke and I am now looking for a new machine. I have seen ads on Sky for the Shark Portable Steam Cleaner.

The thing I liked about the GrimeBuster was the power, it was 4 bar. The Shark claims to be 4.5 bar.

I have seen more expensive ones which I cannot afford but they are only 3 bar or 3.5 bar in pressure.

Has anyone used the Shark, is bar pressure important or is a Steam cleaner assessed on how hot they can get to, or perhaps both.

I have about £100ish to spend and want a good quality machine that gets the job done.

Can anyone help or maybe suggest a better steam cleaner.

Thank you

Simon

For a hundred quid I think you're going to get a pretty poor machine. I would have thought that £500 should be your minimum budget for a steam cleaner, and for commercial use more likely around the thousand mark. With all due respect you might look a bit cowboyish with a machine the customer can buy themselves at Woolworths, or even worse on Sky TV.

What do you intend to use it for?

Hi simonfoy,

To help you decide what sort of steam cleaner you think you might need, chech out these web sites and the basic wholesalers/manufacturers write ups on what they are suitable for -

other than that you can still purchase the `Morphy Richards Grimebuster` on ebay for less than £100.

good luck

Hi all

Thanks for the replies

Its only for home use and helping elderly neighbours out etc. They wont mind what the machine is as I dont charge them but I live in a small rural village and help out where I can. I just wanted something to make life a little easier when doing these jobs.

Many thanks simon
