This handheld steam cleaner was selected by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute as the best among eight competitors after rigorous testing of cleaning effectiveness, ease of use, and attachment features. Unlike other models that took as long as 6 minutes to heat up, this steam cleaner is ready to use in 30 seconds, and can steam on the highest setting for 8 minutes (40 minutes on the lowest setting), allowing a 10' x 10' floor to be cleaned without reheating or refilling. Five steam levels ensure optimal heat control and the unit quickly converts into a floor mop (with or without steam), handheld cleaner, or fabric steamer. The 13-oz reservoir can be refilled with tap water (other models require distilled water) without waiting for the unit t o cool down, and the steam cleaner includes a large cloth cover for hard-surfaced floors, a small cloth cover for fabric steaming, steam jet nozzle for concentrated-stream cleaning, utility brush attachments, extension pole, squeegee, and lemon acid packets and cleaning pin for removing mineral deposits. 4 3/4" H x 4" W x 12" L.
