Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a slim, lightweight steam mop which can be used to clean hard floors as well as for above floor cleaning.
Pros:
The Oreck Steam-It has a slim-line, lightweight design with an approximate weight of just 10 lbs. Its long 25 ft cord length and 11.5 inch cleaning path gives you plenty of wire and coverage to get around larger rooms.
Fingertip controls give you convenient control to produce steam on demand when you need it. Steam power can be regulated to provide a suitable amount of steam for the task at hand.
The specially designed vapour chamber allows above the floor cleaning without the annoyance of spillages of water getting onto your floor. The 40 oz tank provides up to 40 minutes of steam cleaning on the highest setting. With its quick heat-up time of just 45 seconds you can get started on those cleaning tasks in almost no time at all.
Four attachments are included which gives you plenty of versatility for deep cleaning or sanitizing different surfaces.
- Squeegee - Use the squeegee for streak-free cleaning on windows or shiny surfaces like mirrors.
- Nozzle Brush - This attachment produces a thin stream of steam which makes it great for cleaning tight spots such as crevices in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Utility Tool - This tool takes care of those above the floor cleaning tasks like steaming lights or a ceiling fan.
- Spot Brush - Using the spot brush gives you highly focused steam to tackle tough dirt in tile grout.
- Steam Head - For hard floor surface cleaning, you can put on one of the included four microfiber steam bonnets or even your own towel using the universal cleaning clip.
Cons:
The steamer requires the use of distilled water so shouldn’t be used with regular tap water.
The location of the steam level control wheel near the handle means you can sometimes accidently change the dial whilst cleaning.
Guarantee: 1-year limited warranty.
