Frequent pauses for heating water, and the valve cap broke, something that happens with the second device from the company that I have. Now I can't open the cap, so it's useless. I barely used it 20 times.

It is very good. It was used on new tiles that had stains from the painter's paint that had been there for a while and had dried on the grout. With the very small attachment that has a brush and a little scrubbing with this brush, they came off very easily, just like on the cement, the color came off very easily. The only downside for me is that it overheats every now and then and you have to wait every now and then for the light to turn off so you can do your work. The water is fine, it is relatively sufficient and does not need to be refilled every now and then. I would like it to give me more time so that the light does not turn on so quickly and I don't have to wait every now and then.

As you clean, the steam doesn't come out as strong, so you have to wait for the light to turn on again. Annoying

It does a very good job, but after 3 years the boiler short-circuited and it's not worth repairing, so I have to replace it.

Amazing product for beginners in steam cleaners!
You can quickly tackle cleaning, excellent for doors, shelves, bathroom, and carpets!
Cleaning with steam is addictive, as you can easily handle everything you sat and cleaned for hours.

I just got the steam cleaner!
I have a very large fabric sofa and three small children who spill everything on it! Many stains! It's logical that steam alone wouldn't clean it, but I put a little soap on the cloth it comes with and let me tell you, the SOFA looks brand new!
The steam heats up quickly and is very satisfactory! With one fill, I cleaned the entire sofa and cushions, and there was a lot of scrubbing! The steam held up very well!
I also cleaned the aluminum, which I have tried everything imaginable over time, and finally they shined!!! In the bathroom, I have a shower cabin that had a lot of salt buildup and wouldn't go away for any reason (I have also tried everything chemical), but finally it disappeared!!!
Now, as for whether it will withstand the test of time, only time will tell! I hope so because it's a great help!!!
As for the negatives, I agree that the cables don't gather, but it's a small inconvenience!

Bought in 2015, I used it 20-30 times at most and the boiler short-circuited. The cost of replacement was as much as its value. Average build quality compared to the brand's reputation. I would not buy the same brand again.

Problematic and overpriced cap-valve with an expiration date. After a year, it stopped increasing temperature.
Non-transparent water container, very poor construction quality. The hose should have been made of flexible rubber, not hard plastic, as it constantly gets tangled with the cable.
Very annoying that after a few seconds of use, you have to wait an excessive amount of time for it to increase temperature. Completely unacceptable product.

Average build quality, container without level indicator, and power cord that constantly tangles as it doesn't gather. I was looking for an Ariete with 5 bar pressure and a transparent container, but it was sold out at that time, so I had to buy this one, which was also more expensive.

I have it for only one month and I am very satisfied.
It is worth its money as it cleans the whole house without using chemicals.
I have cleaned windows (perfectly), sofa and mattresses, marbles, joints, kitchen-oven.
Only in the oven, I didn't see a big difference but okay, I don't want everything to be perfect.
The water takes about 5-10 minutes to heat up and then you don't stop until it's empty. It leaves some water on the floor during cleaning, but many times I don't step on the mop and just wipe it with the cloth it comes with.
Good construction although it is not easy to store.
Finally, you need other cloths and brushes (since you can't use the same cloth in the bathroom and kitchen) which is an additional cost, but since you don't buy chemicals, you use them as cloths.
