How to choose a steam cleaner for value for money?

Since steam cleaners are much better at dealing with dirt compared to regular vacuum cleaners or wet rags, many manufacturers are engaged in the production of such devices. In order not to get confused in the range, we recommend paying attention to some technical characteristics.

These include:

1. Type of device. All steam cleaners can be handheld or floor-standing. The tank of manual models holds not more than one and a half liters of water, and since the user is not limited in any way, cleaning can be carried out not only at home but also in the car interior. Floor models look like a vacuum cleaner, generate steam at high pressure, and they often come with a wide range of nozzles for cleaning different surfaces.
2. Capacity. This determines how long the device will be able to generate steam. In manual models, the tank holds up to 0.5 liters of liquid, and floor models - up to 5 liters of water.
3. Steam Pressure. Focus should be on the maximum indicator, because it depends on how effectively the device will cope with dirt. Floor standing models are ideally suited for steam cleaning with a maximum steam pressure of 5 bars.

Also, it is necessary to pay attention to the number of nozzles that are provided in the set. The more of them, the more universal the device will be. The simplest devices have only one nozzle with a narrow spout. Floor models are more versatile and come complete with numerous nozzles.
