pressure washer reviews image
kazee
I saw the infomercial on a Shark portable household cleaner, and my friend saw one on the Haan version. Was wondering if anyone has gotten to try these yet and if they actually work? Tried looking for reviews but it seems no one has reviewed it yet. The infomercial makes them looks great, but well I am a weary one of infomercials lol.
Answer
I've had one of the Shark steamers for about 18 months and I do like it. The model I have is not the one on the infomercial. Personally, I think that one is too small to have much steam generating power and it only has like 20-25 minutes of cleaning power with a little bitty stream of steam.
I got the one that looks like a small canister sweeper; the steam unit is on two wheels and it has a long hose that the attachments fit on. I thought it would be much more versatile and useful than just the plain mop type and it's only a little more money. I get nearly an hour of steam time and a good healthy stream of steam too! It actually has enough pressure to blast the dirt out of places you can't get to!
I use it to clean my gas grill, counters, cupboards, walls, trim, windows, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, tile and vinyl floors, finished hardwood and just about anything else I can think of! It sure beats lugging that nasty bucket of scrub water around!
To get the best results you must pair a steamer with the microfiber cloths. These cloths wipe and absorb more than any rag, sponge, towel ever thought of! I get mine at Sam's Club where a bundle of 24 is less than $10. When they get dirty you toss them in the washer and dryer (no fabric softener!).
Cleaning with steam is different. You have to learn to let the steam do the work. We're so used to having to scrub that it's a hard habit to break! Let the steam penetrate the dirt and you can easily wipe it away.
And I have used my steamer for a couple other things. I have used it to strip wallpaper in no time and to defrost a freezer. I put the hose from my Bissell carpet shampoo machine in the bottom of the freezer to suck up the water and started melting the ice with the steamer. I was done in less than 45 minutes and that included putting the stuff back in the freezer!
And I don't buy very many chemical cleaners any more because I use the steamer. And since I started using the microfiber cloths, I rarely buy paper towels. I use them with the steamer, dry as a duster, as a dish cloth too! If you get into something really tough, one of those sponges with the scrub pad on certainly helps loosen the stuff up quicker.

Electric pressure washers?
Mike S
I have seen these Husky 1800 psi electric pressure washers at Home depot for about a $100.00 and I was wanting to know if these units are any good. I have read some user reviews on the Internet and have talked to some people about these and I am getting conflicting answers if they are any good. I was thinking about buying one to use around the home. Such as, cleaning the patio, porch, the driveway and so on. Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.
Answer
I used a Karcher 1500 psi model to clean a 100 foot driveway heavily soiled from oak leaves for 3 years and it worked great although a bit slow. Also used it to pressure wash a deck, garage and siding with no problems...I'd recommend them for minor jobs.
