How to Select a Quality Vapor Steam Cleaner

The quality of a vapor steam cleaner lies in two areas; first in the quality of its performance and then the quality of its parts. The performance quality is determined by its specifications, such as output temperature, ideally up to 386°F, and technologies used, which may include antibacterial technology. On the other hand, hardware quality is influenced by many factors, such as type of materials used for construction and choice of material.

The following focuses on hardware quality and provides tips to select a vapor steam cleaner with good quality components.

Right Components

One of the most important components of a steam cleaning machine is the boiler tank. The capacity of the tank can be up to 14 liters. The tank should have a solid housing, ideally comprised of quality stainless steel. The surface of boiler tanks should be able to withstand high temperature and pressure levels.

Boiler tanks have an inbuilt heating coil. In some machines, the users will have to replace the entire boiler when its heating element stops working as the element is welded to the boiler. This is inconvenient and costly. It is better to select a vapor steam cleaner that has a replaceable heating rod in its boiler.

Right Accessories

Detail brushes are the most frequently used accessories of a vapor steam cleaner. These are the most often damaged too. It is better to select machines with low cost, small detail brushes. Rough use shortens the usability span of any detail brush. There is no point in buying expensive accessories if they have to be replaced frequently. Purchasing from suppliers with high cost brushes has a greatly increased machine cost over time when all expenses are considered.
