Which steam cleaner do you recommend - Daimer vs Dupray Tosca vs VX5000?

Just picked up the Daimer 200s model after finding out that Daimer DOES ship to Hawaii :woohoo:. With my usage, I didn`t opt for the continuous fill. Can`t wait to use it. CS from Bill @ Daimer has been very helpful. Now only if I can find a carrying bag similar to that Dupray sells..

This is the continuous fill model and that may have been our mistake. The pump went out in Aug 2011. We had to pay return shipping (about $60!) and the repair cost us another $180. Well, the pump just died again!! :mad2: We plan to call Daimer tomorrow.

Like I said, in 20/20 hindsight the pump in a continuous fill model seems to be a problem waiting to happen. Of course I suspect (hope!) the pumps on the bigger commercial units are a lot more robust than these little units. I have no use for one of those (even if I could afford it). If I have to replace this one the VX5000 is looking pretty good.

UPDATE: Contacted Daimer and they`ve agreed to fix it at no cost - if it is the pump again. Even so it`s a bit of a gamble as there are a couple of other things that could render the pump inoperative. We also have to pay return shipping.

Wife and I have decided to take the chance but agreed that we`re not going to spend another 200 bucks if it`s not the pump - we`ll let them keep it and probably pick up the VX5000.

handyguy- Fingers crossed that it turns out OK for you. Not all *that* surprised that they`re willing to work with you a little, but yeah...sometimes it seems you have to, uhm...jump-start their customer service a little bit.
