Good product

It's a good product. Delivered on time but the issues I have with it is that, the time it takes to heat up ( 12 minutes or more) and not only that, it's like you are racing against time so you have to be quick in covering a lot of area whilst steaming before the amber light comes on. Once the amber light comes on, you have to stop and wait for 45 seconds before you can resume steaming the carpet, sofa or the cushion which is really time consuming. I spend more time waiting for it to heat up than I do steaming. It only lasts for about 5mins to allow you to steam anything before the amber light comes on then you have to stop. A bit of a headache. Other from that, it steams the carpet and the cushions very well. When to refill it whilst steaming anything, you have to wait about 10-15 minutes to cool before you can open it and pour more water in it. Oh my my! Coffee break now!

For the price, a fantastic product

I have been looking around for a while for a steam cleaner and a pressure washer (had considered the X5 mop but this is half the price and I think better quality). I think I may have found an ideal middle ground. The pressure this light, portable, little steam cleaner produces is impressive. It heats very quickly (around 2 or 3 minutes) and really cranks out scalding hot steam.

First up, I managed to do our entire bathroom, including the floor, grouting on the tiles, the toilet basin, the sink, the bath and all chrome attachments to an impressive finish (for it's first attempt). Surfaces that you would previously think were clean, now really are, noticeably squeaky clean, using just one tankful of water.

Also made a good effort of a first run on a very dirty oven door, not perfect yet but another go should have it back to as new. Finally a quick test area of the patio paving slabs with the high pressure nozel and I think it may save me a fortune on a patio cleaner, not 100% ideal as it will take a long time to do, but or small areas it handles it very well.

A couple of the brush attachments won't last very long, I don't think, as it has already warped the bristles, maybe including a soft metal brush would be good in future.

The instructions are average to good, maybe needing a little more description about how to correctly use the cloth provided as the window squeegee attachment seemed to be less effective on my patio doors than some of the other attachments.

All in all, an excellent product, very light-weight so ideal for carrying around the house.

practical and affordable but not brilliant.

Very reasonable price for what you get. Lots of accessories. However as you can imagine the price does reflect the performance. It is by no means horrendous it's just not exactly brilliant. The steam cleaner does clean stubborn marks and stains quite easily but loses pressure quickly and can leave water behind. Overall generally a good product because you can't complain at the price and it does perform well and has good accessories.

I wished I'd bought this steam cleaner a long time ago, it cleans everything easy and removes more dirt than the average mop. The unit is very light and well built, the lovely deep red colour is a treat. It holds enough water to clean for approx 30mins and the steam pressure is very hot and powerful. Yes the lead is short but nothing a good extension lead can't sort out plus some appliance's which have long leads just get in a tangled mess. The tools are all very useful and pack away neatly. I store it all in the supplied strong cardboard box it came in. I have tried it on carpets, upvc window frames, tiled floor, laminate floor and upholstery all with good results. I can't wait to clean my car with it to clear the dirty parts that I can't normally get rid of. The only recommendation is to make sure you only use soft or distilled water as hard water may cause some damage just like with irons. Definitely recommend and at such a good price all homes should have one.

First go lasted 4 to 5 minutes not 45 minutes, maybe I'm doing it wrong

[edit]
I've put it down from a 3 star to 2 star, as I don't know if I had a faulty unit or if a replacement would have the same problem. Had maybe 3 / 4 / 5 goes on the first night trying it. First time it lasted only a few minutes and the accessory area was full of steam and hot. Second time lasted longer. Last time lasted about a minute then there was more steam coming out of the main unit than the hose. Switched it off and as it cooled it used up the rest of the water so was empty when I came to look at it after it had cooled completely. The visor covering the accessory area no longer fitted, it had warped. A wheel had fallen off - also warped. So either there isn't any overheat protection, or that safety feature wasn't working, or there was a leak somewhere, which would explain the steam coming out of the main unit.

Sent it back, had to get a lift to travel to the nearest shop that does Hermes, which was a pain (I live above a Post Office but they don't do Hermes). As usual Amazon's returns are a breeze (apart from lugging the box). I've got to find a replacement now though, and I don't want to spend double what I spent on this but I don't think I want a handheld one either. The steam jet on this one was very powerful and it made a good effort tackling some very tough limescale on the outside rim of the shower.
[/edit]

Tried it for the first time just now, I thought it took 15 minutes for some reason (it's 12, depending on water temperature I suppose) so I set an alarm and came back to it. It had put a fair bit of water on the floor, which was disconcerting as I hadn't put the power cable far enough out of the way.

I'd bought a high quality single extension cable to go with it, which does the job fine (one of those thick orange ones).

I don't know if it's a function of the design that excess steam fills the storage compartment where you can store a few of the tools (in order to steam clean them?) or if again I'm doing it wrong. It's hot in there, so make sure you're wearing rubber gloves if you need to change tools. Probably best to get them all out before you start unless you know 100% which one you're going to use. That'll take some trial and error I suppose.

I tried the tile / glass tool but initially put it on back to front. When I finally refrained from being an idiot everything clipped together quite nicely.

I got about 5 minutes of cleaning, perhaps I need to learn to press the trigger in very short bursts. I don't think you need to switch it off once it's boiled, I guess you keep it on until the water's gone.

Well I can hear it boiling again - wish me luck!

After 2 hours of blitzing my home, I am really impressed with Ewebank sc1000. Its only negative so far was that the hose and gun tended to get overly hot. This was fully understandable because of what it does and I'll become comfy with that eventually and keep my hands clear. Also must allow it to cool down before changing nozzles or wear gloves.
Apart from the above minors, its so much better than I could have hoped for. It cut through the hard to reach bathroom grime areas like old tiling grout to bring them up gleaming, almost as much as when the tiling was first done. It was almost a pleasure to wipe the surplus moisture and grime from the run-off. The moisture run-off was only minor trace quantities and a towel to wipe away the loosened grime was all that I needed afterwards.
I definitively wont need any chemical's or much muscle in my future as this takes away the need for both.
It also looks better than most similar on the market. Plus, the tools that come with it should be sufficient to cover any task in my home. I'm chuffed that I made this purchase, even though it was on impulse. I don't regret it!

Great for domestic use.

Follow the simple instructions. Put water in (1.5l) using the supplied jug and funnel, turn on, wait till orange light goes out, it's ready. If you put hot water in it will be ready sooner. It will "clear it's throat" as condensed water is sometimes ejected from the pipe if it has been left without using the steam, I used a bucket just to squirt the water into, no great deal, and then steam will follow. Ideal for oven glass, kitchen units and vinyl kitchen floors, tiles and around taps to clear soap scum. I found it helped to shift road film on car winscreens. It comes with jet, floor and window adapters, Be sensible, it will not run all day and needs to repressurise as you use it, be aware of this, it is for normal domestic use and will not defrost a 747 in Alaska in December.
Whoops !! Before I forget it is a great aid in defrosting ice that builds up in a freezer you can blast steam under the ice to loosen it .
It works for me.

Fantastic Product!

I purchased this cleaner because I needed something to clean my hardwood floors without harsh chemicals. The cleaner arrived four days later after placing the order on a Sunday. When I received the cleaner I started to clean my floors straight away and it made a huge difference rather that cleaning with a dirty old mop head. My floors were looking like new, The floors were a bit wetter than I expected, but I just went over the cleaned areas with a CLEAN DRY mop head with no problem. Next, I proceeded to do my kitchen floors same result with the living room - Perfect. I cleaned my oven and my hobs which were in need of a good clean. I must say my oven looked almost like new, but you really have to be patient because results may not be apparent at first. I then moved to to the kitchen and the bathroom taps with all that built in limescale, took it straight off but holing the nozzle two feet away from what your trying to clean isn't going to do you any good! lastly, I used the squeegee attachment to clean my bathroom tiles and my mirrors with absolute ease. Overall I WOULD recommend this product as the price was an absolute steal. The only reason I threw off the extra star was because of two things. One, the length of the cable is a tiny bit short, but works fine when you attach it to an extension lead. The second thing was the end of the nozzle melts a bit due the high amount of heat and pressure, but that didn't stop from me from the results I achieved today. So if you are thinking of buying this product, I'd say go for it and if it isn't for you, just simply return it.

Not bad for the price I am pretty happy

Recently I've set up a automotive detailing company and I have been buying all sorts different products but one thing that I struggled to find for a reasonable price was a steamer as for such a basic product some companies where wanting amounts of money I couldn't justify paying.so I had a look on amazon and came across this ok price,looked fairly solid even tho it's hard to tell just from pics.This steamer is suppose to be used for cleaning inside the house but automotive detailers have realised its brilliant for detailing cars.i use this regularly to steam carpets using the biggest brush accessory which works brilliant,I also use the steamer on the engine bay which is fantastic as it removes the dirt and with a bit of degreaser any oil stains, but the good thing is it removes all the crap but obviously with it been steam it evaporates and leaves the engine practically bone dry which cuts down my drying time if I jet washed the engine bay.

Since I use this on a lot rougher and dirtier places than its manufactured to be used for and it's held up great so far I've hammered it for a month and no sign of any problems.the only reason I didn't give it 5 star is because the water tank isn't that big don't get me wrong it will last a bloody long time if your doing house cleaning but when your detailing a car I usually have to fill it another 2 times which is a pain because you have to hold the trigger till all the pressure is released before you can even open the top which can take 5/10 minutes
