The Cadillac of Steam Cleaners
By Doc Jeff on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2015
If you are like me you have looked at a bunch of different steam cleaners online. Once you start to look at them you realize that they all are made pretty much by one company. The boilers and caps and the assessories are all pretty much interchangeable and just about equal in looks. When you open up the Reliable steam cleaner, you realize very quickly that it is not made by the cookie cutter companies as the competition. The assessories are made specifically for this unit they do not fit other models as I checked. The water fill opening is a simple flip up cap and not the hard to unscrew radiator style. There is a small red indicator to let you know when the steam pressure is available. The light on the unit will tell you when you have adequate steam to clean. It comes and goes as you're using it and as with most cleaners you are recommended to do burst of cleaning not long-term sessions. The cord is very long and I cannot believe that some people complain about the length. The pressure is strong and like typical cleaners, the closer the steam is to the items the hotter it will be. As with all cleaners this is very loud but you should know that is the case with all steam cleaners. As said in other reviews, it is a two hand operation if you plan on using the assessories. I was able to clean grout unlike the other reviewer by simply dipping the cleaning brush in bleach prior to its application on the bathroom wall. There is a bag that comes with the unit which is nice to hold all the supplies. Lastly this company can be contacted unlike typical Chinese manufacturers if you have a problem and the boiler is warranted for life.

Costly mistake.
By Kay L. on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013
I researched handheld steam cleaners and bought this one based on reviews. I don't know what those people were using because it couldn't have been this thing and it doesn't resemble what they claim their own did whatsoever. Big mistake and now I distrust any of these handheld products if this is supposed to be among the top ones. I absolutely hate this thing and it has no redeeming features. It is clumsy to hold and use, the button requires a ridiculous amount of pressure, the "flexible" hose is not. It is stiff and difficult to manipulate and trying to use an attachment on it will frequently flip over the entire base over if you aren't holding it. It is heavy and in spite of claims to be ergonomic, it isn't. I do not have unusually small hands but this thing is difficult to hold and use with just one hand while trying to also press the release button. The online videos say things like "makes cleaning almost FUN!" Nothing could be further from the truth. And to top it off, there is no reliable steam EVER and certainly NEVER enough to clean with. This piece of crap was just a big waste of my hard earned money. It is better and far, far easier to just clean with traditional chemical cleaners and wipe them off after all. I don't want it and neither does anyone else I've tried to give it to after they also tried to use it.
