From industrial water fed steam cleaners to small handheld boiler steam cleaners. What do you guys use a steam cleaner for? Have you tried one? Did you like it or don’t like it?

Kärcher SC4 steam cleaner here. I absolutely love it.

I love it so much that I asked my sister to bring another one from Brazil because my previous died after years of absurdly heavy use.

Unfortunately Kärcher doesn't sell anything similar here in the USA, only that tiny one with instant steam that is a silly toy.

Does it come with a lot of attachments?

Well, Kärcher gets a little too excited about attachments... Maybe that's a thing in Germany.

It comes with floor nozzle, round detailing nylon brush, small rectangular manual brush, cotton sock for the brush and a cotton rag.

Optionally there are ZILLIONS of accessories. I have the turbo brush, which is the round brush with a steam powered vibrator inside (it works beautifully), carpet shield, round metal.brush, needle jet nozzle, wider round brush, window cleaner with squeegee, garment steamer, clothes iron and even wallpaper remover, among others.

What I really love about the Kärcher in detriment of other brands, like Polti is the absurd pressure. While other steam cleaners feel like a kettle hissing, the Kärcher feels.more like a CO2 fire extinguisher or the compressed air gun from the car wash.

It's almost like a pressure washer, but with super hot steam instead of water.

Don't need a steamcleaner.

We have been using a Dupray Neat for about 2 years now and it's great. It started out just for cleaning some stubborn grout in the bathroom but we have found a multitude of uses for it: oven racks, car interior, and cleaning out the mop cleaning station on our Roborock robot vacuum-mop combo. I even once used it in conjunction with a Shop Vac as a poor man's upholstery steamer/extractor to remove a stain left on a dining chair after a party and it worked perfectly. It has a floor mopping attachment but it takes a bit to heat up, so we continue to use the Shark Pocket Mop we got ~8 years ago for mopping unless we already have the Neat heated up for other purposes.
