$77.99, not too bad a price, post back in 90 days to see if it is still working and what part broke.

Sure, LoL. I`ll try not to abuse it too much (no promises). If it does break though, it`s only going to be my excuse to get a real steamer. :p

Denzil, how do you do it? Man, you *always* find the best deals! I can`t find that steamer anywhere else on ebay for less than 99 bucks. You are *the* bargain hunter!

LoL, thanks dude. If you ever need to find something cheap online, I`m your man! :p

Well, I finallly caved in. Got this one. Steam Fast SF-276 Professional Steam Cleaner New - eBay (item 160235171520 end time May-05-08 11:40:49 PDT)



129 bucks shipped, and it includes clothes attachments. Don`t ask why I had to buy the model with the clothes attachments...

Clothes attachments huh? Better get to doing some cleaning around the house. If you ever need a quick iron of your clothes, you`re set!

just remember, distilled water should be used

Thanks for the tip! :2thumbs:

So I got my replacement parts this earlier this week (haven`t had a chance to use it).



The interesting thing I noticed is that the steam jet tip has been re-designed. The new replacement one I received feels like its made out of a different plastic material and it has some re-enforcements where my original tip broke. I will take a picture of the new replacement tips this weekend and post them.

Glad to hear they made some improvements to the piece that broke. Anxiously awaiting the pics.

I will do a side by side to you can see the differences between the two parts.



I paid $4 bucks for a extra one, as I was nervous about breaking it again. They were kind enough to include it with the replacement parts so I didn`t even have to pay shipping. Actually they mailed it all before they even got payment from me, which was a nice surprise (thou it was only $4).

Inexpensive replacement parts.. good to hear. Now if I can just get up the courage to actually learn how to use the thing. I`m having visions of ruined leather and melted plastic.:nervous2:

Hmm..steamer damage....I`ve melted some carpeting in the MPV when I got too aggressive (that one really surprised me) and I also melted the plastic hood-prop-rod retaining clip on one vehicle (that one didn`t surprise me as much). I don`t think I`ve damaged anything else...no leather (but then I`m kinda careful using it on that).

She made me promise to stop taking my work uniform shirts to the dry cleaners. I love the way professionally starched and pressed shirts look and feel. Now I`m gonna have to steam my shirts at home. I also had to commit to cleaning the windows, tile, grout, and wood floor. Woman drives a *hard* bargain. Ah well, but at least I got my steamer.

It`s still undergoing Budgetary Review, but I think I`m wearing her down.

Keep dreamin sunshine, they can take away our money but not our dreams!

LOL

As promised, here is a image of the jet nozzle. You can see on the left where my first one broke (the crack. I stacked the broken parts on top of each other for this photo). The replacement is on the right and you can see the nice little re-enforcement fins in the exact area mine broke.

Looks like they did a good job of reinforcing that tip. Very nice.

Steamer just got here today.

[reaper34]

awesome! I still haven`t had a chance to detail with it being we`ve had torrential rain and the client I was gonna test it on keeps rescheduling but for sure saturday will have enough use for a review. although I`m kinda jealous you got a clothes steamer attachment.

Steamer just got here today.

cool, take some pics of the things you melt with it. :lol

LOL, will do.



I think the garbage cans are gonna be melted/cleaned first.



First impressions... I`m surprised at how well this thing is made. I was expecting really cheap construction since it`s such an inexpensive unit. The accessories do feel a bit cheap, but the hoses and the actual unit itself feel top notch. Not bad at all for 119 bucks.



I`m off to melt something...
