the water pressure has a regulator, you are able to adjust the pressure. my new k`archer i can adjust the pressure and temperature of the water. it was impossible for me to find a used steam cleaner when i was in the market... no need to get your panties in a bunch.

But, because I love the concept, I`ll end up spending hundreds more for a professional unit.

:down :down :down

i have a Landa for sale if you`re interested. you`ll see the difference when you get a proffessional unit... they make my job so much easier.

If your Piccolos are getting heavy use, they may just need to be descaled. The directions say it`s time to descale if steam volume decreases noticeably.

it isn`t a $50 steamer after all.

That`s a good deal. I had a steam cleaner in my shop that costs about $10K for the Fulton Boiler, about $200 for the gun and $15K to get it all installed and plumbed together with my air compressor. Did a great job for removing stains from clothes. Don`t know how a $46 unit will work but I do know what steam can do. Sorry for the one upmanship, I couldn`t help it, my steam cleaner is better than yours, neener, neener, neener....

That`s not a steam cleaner. Thats a steam powered rocket engine. You can`t fool me. I`ll give you $5,000 for it if you do free shipping and installation into my rocket.

A fair warning to all: I didn`t let my Picollo unit cool down completely b/f emptying last night, and I got scalded when some water splashed up and got my hand. Guys, please be very careful!

Other than that snafu, mine has worked pretty well.

I received my Daimer steamer yesterday. I can`t believe how much pressure it creates. It has a dial on the unit that is smoothly adjustable from low to high, and, when set just above half, creates plenty of pressure continuously at a high temperature. The unit came with great attachments, and it did a wonderful job on my dash, seats, and headliner.

I am currently doing a STEAMER vs (aztec) EXTRACTOR experiment on my carpets/floor mats. I will be posting all before and after pics in the Detailing forum when I am finished! Hopefully I can finally contribute something useful to the forums besides smart-aleck remarks and noob-questions!!

Cheers!

That would be an interesting comparison. Do you think this steamer can hold a candle to a real heated extractor?

What technique r u going to use on the mats and carpet?

**holland_patrick** · 12-09-2005, 11:04 AM

I`m a little disapointed in mine but I still think it`s worth $60 it seems to run soft on steam but maybe i still need to play some more

With the steamer I`m just using the triangle head brush with a mf towel clipped to it, and going back and forth over the carpet. I`m almost finished my experiment, and will try and post the results later this weekend.

I got one yesterday. wife ordered it on the 6th and got it on tyhe 9th. I messed with it a lil. must say for the price its a ok unit for around the house for small jobs. using the nylon brush really helped it clean. I will try some of the other attachments soon. I used it on my mirror in the bathroom and cleaned it quick. now wont have to use such harsh chemicals around my kid. I will say its worth the $45 but not the $200 people seen at target(I guess thats what it was.

will use it on my wifes car soon. will do some before and after shots. if pig pen off charley brown had a car. it would be my wifes car :LOLOL

**gmblack3** · 12-16-2005, 08:27 PM

I got mine today. Going to try and steam the leather in the wifes 99 740il as it looks real dirty. Will try and do before/after pics.

So if I steam the leather clean then I don`t have to use any leather cleaner just a conditioner?

TIA!

I would still use the leather cleaner in addition, personally.
