MR-50 Steam / Vacuum Combo

I got this as a birthday gift from my parents after seeing the problems my puppies were causing to my floor and furniture. It cleans up their accidents quickly and leaves no residue or after smell. I like it because I feel safer using a green product around areas where my dogs are. I can confidently recommend this to anyone who needs a small cleaner because it only requires distilled water and is easy to use.

I ordered this hoping it would make cleaning up cat vomit faster and easier. The product did not perform as I had expected so I returned it. Not only did the steam cleaner leave residue, there was also an odor. When I tried it on our microsuede loveseat it left a water stain although luckily I was successful in removing that using my large Hoover steam vac. I also tried the vacuum and it really didn''t have enough suction for picking up litter, etc. that I needed it for.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It went well with the gift of stomach flu, given by our 3-year-old niece.

We wanted a portable steam vac for spot-treating carpet and upholstery. We have a large hoover with a hose, but it''s very big, and has an awful lot of things to unpack, fill up, and later clean / dry / put away.

For better or worse we were able to use this little guy about a dozen times in the days following Christmas. It generates a LOT of very hot steam, and the suction is at least as good as the hoover, if not better.

The only downside to this unit is that the onboard water tank is *only* for steam; it doesn''t have a "rinse" function. I''m still rating this 5* because the additional water storage would make the unit too big, and the problem is easily remedied with a spray bottle of fresh water.

That very minor issue aside, the unit is very handy. It easily cleaned the arms of our recliner, the recesses of the couch, the sides of chairs, the carpets, and a pillow. The cord is long enough that we didn''t require an extension.

Cleanup is also very easy: dump out the fresh water tank, and the front tank + filter disassemble into 4 pieces (including the brush or squeegee nozzle) and can be quickly rinsed and dried.

It''s not cheap, but worth every penny.

I am a professional housekeeper, and I am a stickler for cleanliness... I cannot rave enough about this machine! It gets into every nook and cranny from bathroom corners, bathroom tiles, inside the oven, BBQ, and anywhere else you can think of! I even had my boyfriend clean the inside and outside of his car with it. Tar and grease marks, which he never thought would come out, came off so easily! The pressure and temperature of the steam are so high for such a little machine that it is practically effortless! The first time I used it, I couldn''t stop! It is a must have for any household!

My search for the illusive steam Vac continues. I do not know what''s so difficult about making a device which dispenses steam and vacuums it up simultaneously. This handheld Vac supplies 2 kinds of steam, a dry steam and a wet steam. It heats up in 30 seconds flat which is impressive, but that''s where the praise ends. While it does steam and it does Vac, these two are separate processes. You can either steam, or u can Vac, but u can''t do both. Cleaning vertical surfaces are an impossibility as well. When the Vac is turned vertical the Vac thinks the tank is full and won''t suction anymore. Not a whole lot of power, and a bit awkward to use as just a steamer, but the quality of the steam and speed to boil is impressive. Unfortunately, that alone given its form is of no use to me. Lastly, the dirty water tank is held down by a cam buckle which releases unintentionally quite often. A very inconvenient design flaw.
