Oreck steam it is a lightweight upright
steam cleaner that does not use chemicals, can be used on a lot of different types of floors such as carpets, tiles, wood, etc, very quiet, durably built and comes with few accessories that enables you to steam clean your floors with a lot of diversity as well (you can use it on cloths for example).
Below are the other hardware details in brief...
*. Now it is a smaller looking steamer and has a smaller tank, but make no mistakes about it because it'll heat up within 30 seconds and will give you the ability to use continuous steam output that last for a long time.
*. As with almost all of their products this one also has a risk free 30 days of money back guarantee.
*. Uses pressurized steam for better results (pretty hand for removing stains for instance).
*. Re-usable (washable) micro pad (an additional one is also provided).
*. The wire cord has a length of 7.6 meters.
*. Can be used on ceramic, stone, tiles, vinyl and hardwood floors (sealed), etc.
*. The 4.2 kg of weight won't be able to make any problems while using and makes it highly
portable .
*. Very silent.
*. When filling it with the tap water be aware that if it contains higher amounts of minerals then as the time goes on they'll be left inside the tank and may cause some problems (that are not covered by the warranty) so the Oreck emphasis on using the provided tools for filtering the water before filling the tank (read the manual).
*. The use of dry steam helps to vaporize the water left on the surfaces after used.
*. It comes with few accessories (tools, etc) such as an especial grout and stain remover, wider mop, window cleaning attachment, kitchen and bathroom tool, etc.
*. The slimmer but at the same time wider nozzle helps reach under beds, furniture, etc and cover reasonably larger area while using.
*. Can also be used on mattress, pillows, inside cars and vans, on clothes, etc.
*. 1-Year warranty.
The pad/s are durable but as with all the pads after sometime you'll have to buy new ones. Now if you buy them directly from Oreck they're gonna cost a bit high. But you can always find third-party made mops at more cheaper price ranges anyway. The tank may look small in comparison with some other but that capacity has the ability to last longer times once filled. But remember that after filling the water the weight will also go a bit higher.
You can lift it while cleaning windows for instance without much of a hassle but lifting something that weights around 5 kg for some won't be that easy either (if you're pregnant, etc), so keep the weight factor in mind before purchasing. But remember that this is a steamer not a vacuum cleaner so to get the best out of your surfaces you might need to do a vacuum job first (depending on the amount of dirt, etc).
The grout removing tools work really nice which is certainly good news for those who have hard stains (bubble gum on carpets, etc). But as you can see the size of the nozzle isn't that wide, so you'll have to be patient when cleaning larger rooms for insntance. Anyway if you want a a quiet, powerful and easy to use steamer that can be used on a lot of surfaces then the Oreck steam-it is a really good product (not recommended for heavy duty usages).
