Vacuums & Steamers

I just received the Primo steamer this past weekend and went to town on a long overdue grout cleaning project for my 3,100 square foot home. WOW, am I impressed. This steamer really packs a punch and did an unbelievable cleaning job on the grout. Plus, by my estimate, I saved around $650.00 by doing the job myself, and that savings includes the cost of the machine(I had received quote's from two grout cleaning company's, the low quote was $975 and the high was $1,200, and it was going to take two days for them to finish the job. Really, come on!!!). Not counting the time I spent familiarizing myself with the steamer and attachments (there are four different size brush attachments as well as a bunch of other attachments and fittings) it took me less than six hours to completely finish the job (although on Sunday my legs and knees hurt from all of the crawling around on the floor, next time I will use a stool). Here is what impressed me the most: I was able to use the steamer continuously, without stopping to refill the water, for more than an hour at a time. In just over six hours I filled the steamer with water five times, and still had steam left when I was finished. Awesome!! The dirt immediately came loose with just one pass with the steamer and wire brush attachment (I think it is made of brass, but not sure), no scrubbing required. A quick wipe behind the steam with a cloth and that was it, job done. I had tried to clean the grout before with cleaning products and a wire brush, but gave up after about 20 minutes of scrubbing (and scraping all the skin off my knuckles) and poor results. So, what a relief to find this steamer and get the job done without killing myself. The next day I used the steamer on my built-in outdoor gas grill and finished that off in about half the time it normally takes me to clean with oven cleaner and hand-scrubbing. Again, just one pass with the steam, and the grease melted away (and I didn't have to use any other cleaning products). My wife is making a list of steamer chores for me around the house: Stove, shutter's, doggie door, dog crate, outdoor landscaping lights, patio furniture . . ."..."  Read more
