Steam Cleaner Information

Carpet cleaners and extractor vacuums that use water and suction to clean floors are not covered in this report. These models are usually uprights for easier cleaning, but smaller spot suction cleaners are available. Most reviews say that although it's possible to clean carpet with a steam cleaner, it takes a very long time -- since steam cleaners don't have suction, you'll still need to vacuum later to suck up loosened dirt. If you mainly want to deep clean carpets and rugs, see our report on carpet cleaners.

There are several companies that manufacture and directly sell their own lines of vapor steam cleaners for commercial and residential use. Most of these products were not reviewed in any independent reviews we found, and most are on the expensive side. However, most do show detailed specifications for their vapor steam cleaners, so you can examine features and specs.
