 Not a miracle product, but a good help... September 22, 2008
A. Marinelli
I purchased this product after reading some pretty good reviews. I wanted something that could help me clean the corners and door tracking in my shower. I HATE cleaning bathrooms and was looking forward to using a steam cleaner to just melt the milder/soap scrum/mold away. Well, it doesn't just wash away, it kind of loosens it up a bit so that you can go in afterward with a scrubber of some kind and dislodge it easier. Still, a great help. Made the job much less labor intense. I didn't really like the squeegee attachment for the tile walls of my shower, didn't really do much, but I haven't tried it on windows yet. The steamer takes a while to heat up. All in all, an okay purchase.
Most fun cleaning ever, but quality problems September 2, 2008
Marc Stober (Brookline, MA United States)
First, the pros:
- Most fun I've ever had cleaning
- No chemicals. Fingers don't smell like bleach or whatever for the rest of the day.
- Blasts dirt out of hard-to-reach places.
- Excellent at general purpose cleaning; you need to wipe down surfaces with a towel after cleaning (it's not a vacuum).
- While it's expensive, there's nothing to replace. Compare to other "innovative" cleaning productions which are mainly systems of pads, etc. that you need to keep buying.
Now, the cons:
- It's not a replacement for elbow grease. For example, on floors, it does a much better job than a mop, but it still doesn't beat getting on your hands and knees to scrape and scrub problem areas.
- It was missing a manual and contacting the manufacturer through their website did not get any response.
- After a few uses the inner hose got kinked and it would stop working randomly. Here's what I mean by inner hose: I could tell something was wrong with the hose, so figuring the thing was useless anyway, I cut the black outer hose and inside there was both an electric cord and thinner steam hose, which was kinked. So now I can try to pull the inner hose straight - however the area where is was kinked seems to be weakened, and it gets quite hot, so trying to straighten out the hose while the steam is under heat and press is probably not very safe. I can't find any information on how to get it repaired (probably cheaper to replace) but it's only this quality issue occurring after a few months that is why I don't give this 5 stars.

First of all, let me start by saying I am now a firm believer in steam cleaners. When I bought this product, the tiles in my kitchen hadn't had a thorough scrubbing in years. The grout went from nearly black to red, very fast. I will NEVER use harsh chemicals again. Not for the floors, or bathroom or windows.
This steamer comes with a fairly good assortment of attachments. The one I use the most is a small nozzle with plastic bristles. After 10 minutes of using this attachment the first time. Those bristles went from straight to permanently bent and it is no longer nearly as effevective. Understandable, I expected the scorching steam to do this. So I went back to Amazon to see which other attachments I could purchase. Couldn't find any. Then I went to the manufactures website, again I couldn't find any.
Here is why you should NOT buy this particular steamer. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND/PURCHASE REPLACEMENT PARTS. Had I known this, I would have spent a little more for a model which parts can easily be found and purchased.
If I could buy additional attachments for this unit I would give it 4 stars. But since you can't and the higher end euro shark steamers attachments aren't compatible with this model, it deserves 3/2 stars.
Oh, one more major design flaw. There is no visual water meter. And since you might break the unit by inserting too much water, the only way to deal with it is by using all the water in the tank before refilling.
 I have had mine for almost 6 months now... August 1, 2008

So To buy or not to buy the shark steam blaster. It was a question that I struggled with for over a year before going out and buying it and giving it a try and I am certainly glad that I did.
There are cons to this product but the pros out way them over and over again.
It cleans and cleans and cleans. If you have tile floors, windows, sinks, toilets, white garbage cans, ceiling fans, walls, stairs, even hardwood floors, you really need to give this baby a try.Oh and the thing that I love the most is the way that it cleans my radiators in my house no more scrubbing those suckers for an hour a piece to get them clean upon move in..Careful on the wood floors though some one reported that it warped her floors. I make sure to have plenty of replacement pads clean and when I get ready to do the wood floors in our new home When ever I get a streak that looks wet opposed to steamed I flip the pad over then after I get the same thing I take it off and replace it with a clean one.
Yes it cleans it is great for allergies and mine has lasted now for 6 months being used every day. I wipe down my cabinets walls and kitchen floor and spray down my bathrooms pretty much every day. I deodorize my curtains every week knocking dust out of them. My windows I do at least once a month.
So for the cons.
1)Lots of people have reported that it breaks easily, I have not had that problem and if I do I will tell you that i will go out and buy a replacement that day.
2) The biggest con on my end with the thing is this. When I bought it I went to the web page and ordered 9 new cleaning pads. After a month went by of not receiving anything I e-mailed them and they sent an apology letter telling me that the pads were on back order. I did finally get them though it too three months of waiting for them. You cannot wash the pad that comes with it with anything else so just one pad in the wash to me was insane so I just did the floor on my hands and knees with rags which I do on all my tile floors at least once a week any ways.
To sum it all up if you are looking for a machine that will replace you cleaners, and clean really well for you for $99 this machine is worth every single penny. You have to put up with customer service which is a pain but well worth it in my opinion...
