Customer Reviews

Karcher steam cleaners
I have been a happy user of Karcher steam cleaners for over 7 years now, and can hopefully help a couple of the reviewers with points they have raised:

- The 'spinning cap' issue. The safety valve is designed so that it will not release until the pressure in the tank has dispersed. It is not a fault, there is no point getting your bodybuilder friends to try to force it. It is a deliberate design feature. I admit that it is very frustrating to have to wait for the tank to cool before you can top it up when you are half way through a job, but surely that's better than getting scalded by steam?
- Limescale. Try putting some vinegar or lemon juice on the limescale and letting it sit for a while before you attack it with steam. I successfully removed large amounts of built-up limescale from around the taps when I moved into a new house.
- Of course you still have to wipe - or in the case of built up, burned on or very old stains - go over them a few times. The steam will loosen/dislodge/melt dirt, but will not make it 'vapourise', if you'll pardon the pun. Steam makes cleaning easier, it does not make it completely effortless. I do think, though, that it gives a better result than chemical cleaning, and without harming the environment or leaving harsh smells behind.
- As for the reviewer who complained that the steam is very hot, well d'oh!

Great for Windows
I really find this good for cleaning the windows. It takes a fraction of the time. The patio door gets lots of fingerprints/mud from the children and this needs additional scrubbing, but for general dust dirt it takes literally 1 minute per window. It is also wonderful for cleaning tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. It is a fantastic labour saving tool.

Steaming
The Karcher SC1122 is a very useful tool. We bought this mainly for doing our windowsills, they really do come up much cleaner. But since buying the cleaner, we've cleaned our patio (very well, I might add) and tried it on other parts of the house too.

The unit is pretty light, so it's useful for anyone wanting to use it on high places when climbing a ladder, or for someone who isn't that strong. The one problem is that the cable isn't too long, but if you're doing jobs around the house or just outside, it shouldn't be a problem.

Refilling is simple, but I did find myself having to do this quite often with the size of the machine being so small. Still, it wasn't too much effort.

Overall, I'm really impressed with the machine, I certainly think that we've got good use out of it for the price we paid on Amazon.
