Heat and pressure do the cleaning here, not detergent. Steam leaves the nozzle at 257 degrees Fahrenheit under 2 bar of pressure, which lifts grease and grime out of surfaces without adding anything to the room that is unsafe around kids and pets. A 1400W element gets there fast, reaching working temperature in about a minute rather than the long wait that makes people give up on steam cleaning. The 13.5-ounce tank is transparent, so remaining water is visible at a glance instead of being discovered when the steam stops, and water can be topped up directly during use rather than requiring a full cool-down cycle. The cover, a heating indicator, and a safety lock cover the pressure side of operation. A 14-piece accessory kit is what turns one machine into a general cleaning tool. It includes a 21.5 inch soft hose, three 15.5 inch extension tubes, a floor brush with connector, a big nozzle, a glass brush, three nylon brushes, a stainless brush, a glove, a measuring cup, a funnel, a brush towel, a towel sleeve, and two seal rubbers. The tubes extend reach into corners of the room the body alone will not fit. At 5.5 pounds with an ergonomic handle and switch, in a 13 by 5 by 9.5 inch PP body running on 120V 60Hz power, it carries easily, and the 16.5-foot cord reaches corners without changing outlets.
