 Works fine for me |

I bought this a few years ago but it doesn't have the floor attachment. I really like it and it cleans well for me. Great for grime that doesn't come off easily with normal scrubbing. Like that the dried on gook at the bottom of the fridge. I'm not sure why the first reviewer thought it was a bad design.
It's a good tool to have but not my first choice usually because it's a little more tedious to get it ready than to pull out a spray bottle of cleaning solution. |
Does an average job for a $40 steamer.

I bought this same steamer with the floor kit 4 to 5 years ago regular price at $40. Mine even came with a strap so I could put it on my shoulder. At the price I paid, I got what I paid for - an okay, inexpensive steamer. However, I do not feel the steamer is worth more than what I paid.
There are several steamers within the same $40 price range that have similarly designed steamers; SteamFast SF-226 Handheld Steam Cleaner is one and it sells for $35 with shipping. To be completely honest, I wish I would have bought a higher priced steamer (around $100) like the McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner for three reasons: accessories, capacity and ease of use.
The brush head on the Scunci (and similar models) is way too small for large-scale cleaning. The circumference of the brush head is about the size of a quarter. That's nice for working in small areas, but if your are trying to clean something larger it takes forever. In my opinion, spending money on a steamer is supposed to SAVE time. (The McCulloch and a couple of other models have much larger cleaning brush heads along with the smaller ones.)
The capacity of the Scunci is way too small and you have to refill it often. That means you have to let the unit cool for 5 minutes, fill it, and wait to get steam again. It is fine if you have other things to do, but I just want to get my house clean. Again, I bought a steamer to save time and there are several steamers that have MUCH larger capacity tanks.
Last, I would prefer to have a model that sits on the floor so that my hands are free to clean. With this steamer, you have to hold the steamer in one hand so that you can press the trigger and hold the wand in the other hand. It just makes an easy task difficult. Putting the trigger on the wand would have been much more practical.
If you can get it at a similar price that I did and that's all that is in your budget to pay, then this isn't a bad option at all, but know that you will probably want to save up for a better steamer and pass this one along to someone else. |
Don't waste your money!

| Do not buy this brand. This was a huge waste of time, luckily I was able to get a refund and buy a different brand with much larger capacity for less money. The quality of workmanship is horrible! |
