Vapamore MR-100 Primo Steam Cleaner Professional-Grade Italian-Designed Chemical-Free Steam Cleaning System for Pet Accidents Floors Tile Grout Auto

Trying to use as few chemicals in our house as possible, we are always looking for alternative cleaning methods. Steam cleaning seems to be a great way to disinfect and clean effectively. We are so pleased with our purchase of the Vapamore MR-100. It's clear that a lot of engineering and design went into this piece of equipment. The size is perfect—very easy to pick up and transport around the house. The cord is just the right length and easily retracts back into the machine. I love the convenient storage for the small attachments, which are neatly contained on the back of the machine. The power of the machine belies the fact that it is consumer-grade. It produces plenty of steam to get the job done. The smaller attachments are great for getting in nooks and crannies, or irregularly shaped items. For example cleaning grates on HVAC vents. It could be very very difficult to get in all the slats with traditional cleaning equipment. The Little brush attachments with steam make quick work of the vents. We also had a bedbug scare. In the end we're not sure if we had them or not, but we had confidence that our bedroom was free of problems. This was a great way to avoid the use of toxic chemicals where we sleep. Using the steam cleaner combined with a little handheld carpet cleaner made quick work of spots in our carpet that we had been struggling with for years. We did have an issue with the electronics, but one call to the company, and it was covered under warranty. We had to pay for shipping, but the machine was quickly repaired and sent back to us. Customer service is excellent! It is very easy to reach a human, and they are great at following up on concerns. I always tried calling tech support or customer service for any product. But living in North America when you call the number you get a real live person in Scottsdale, Arizona. We highly recommend Vapamore and the MR100! Read more

The setup was intuitive and without and problems. This was purchased to steam carpet in the house to exterminate fleas and the associated flea eggs. During use I placed a thermometer under the head and it approached 200 degrees F within 2 seconds. It is important to move the head slowly across the carpet, but the glider frame makes it very easy to do so. Since it has been years since this carpet got this level of cleaning I could smell the dirt burning out of the carpet. Afterwards it had a very nice clean look. Also, it should be noted that there was very minimal moisture left afterwards. I would let the carpet sit for a few hours before saying it was fully dry. As an experiment I had some textured vinyl floor with some cat litter dust ground in to the texturing. With the glider frame removed, it took a couple of slow steam strokes to really clean the floor. This was very impressive. First I really like this appliance but it is not 100% perfect. First, it is a bit of guesswork to decided how much water is needed to fill it. It does come with a measuring cup and a funnel but I did not see what the total tank size was. So I filled 500ml at a time and measured with the included dip stick. This was repeated until it was in the middle off the dipstick range. There is also no way to tell how much water is left as you steam the floor. The steam strength will start to fade as the water level decreases. When you decide to refill, you need to turn the unit off and let it cool for awhile. The instructions state that you should wait about 45 minutes or more. I guess an enforced break is not necessarily a bad thing. I also noticed that when I was steaming large areas that the steam could fade a bit. I would stop for about 15 seconds for it to catch up(green light coming back on) when this happened. Because of this duty cycle weakness, I would not recommend this for commercial applications but it is great for the home. I was also impressed by the customer service over email. I had multiple inquiries about best practices on use and storage and each time my email when it was sent in the evening, a response was made morning of the next day from a USA location. The unit is produced in China. I would gladly pay a bit more for a more local source as a personal preference, but it does not reflect on any significant decrease in quality. Read more
