Addis 10-in-1 Multi-Purpose 1000W Handheld Pressurised Steam Cleaners

Product Information

That may sound miserly but it’s usually long enough to clean your car or blitz condensation on a chilly morning.

However, to avoid having to give up halfway through more extensive cleaning missions, check that you can recharge the battery quickly and conveniently. Among its many included accessories are a smaller 170mm suction head for hard-to-reach areas and a microfibre attachment to spread detergent on your windows. It’s best suited for those who’ve previously used steam cleaners and are looking for a high-quality steamer with tons of versatility and heavy-duty attachments. If the pressure vapor gets slightly open space, then within a few seconds it may explode like a bomb. The Light ‘n’ Easy multifunctional steam mop worked well as a mop, but the detachable handheld unit left a lot to be desired.Over the course of his decades-long career, Bob Vila has helped millions of people build, renovate, repair, and live better each day—a tradition that continues today with expert yet accessible home advice. When we tested this mop, we were immediately impressed by how quickly it warmed up and how much steam it put out. However, what pushes the Bosch behind the Karcher and Vileda in our list is its failure, reported by some users, to clean quite as well to the very edges of your windows.

None of that would matter if the Karcher didn’t clean windows brilliantly – and that’s where it really excels. Its accessories proved useful in deep cleaning hard surfaces, and it was able to blast through grease on the oven, remove mineral deposits around a sink, and break down dirt and grime on our floors. If the reservoir is large, the volume of water can make a handheld cleaner heavier, making it more difficult to use after a few minutes.You could spend a weekend struggling with buckets and towels, but investing in a good window vacuum allows you to do a better job in a fraction of the time. Since the Bissell PowerFresh lacked a hose, we constantly had to switch hands when one became too tired, especially when cleaning floor grout. We also love that you can charge it via USB using the included micro-USB charger – an increasingly convenient option for drivers.

For our soft-surface tests, we used an upholstery board with tan microsuede fabric, a white shag carpet scrap, and a pair of light-wash jeans. In fact, plugging in an empty steam mop can damage the device very easily and in this case, your warranty can be canceled because there is no water for heat.The best handheld steam cleaners are lightweight, provide adequate steam, and offer a variety of attachments. The Bob Vila team distills need-to-know information into project tutorials, maintenance guides, tool 101s, and more.

As a general rule, perform a small spot test before cleaning a specific item or area and use only as much pressure as needed to do the job.The safety cap locks down when the steamer is at working temperature, preventing accidental scalding. Addis cleaning includes an array of versatile products from mops to brushes and shower squeegees to dusters. LED charge indicator: Useful for revealing how much longer the battery will last before it needs a recharge. Second, at 9 pounds, it’s heavier than other handheld options—though we had no problems maneuvering it around the house. It easily converts into a handheld steam cleaner with three adjustable modes and can tackle hard-surface floors such as tile and hardwood, clean windows, and steam clothing.
