We bought a reconditioned Goblin steamer a few years back. It was a good
deal at £34 half-price. It was good at defrosting, tile-cleaning, window
cleaning - only did that once coz a squeegy and bucket is just as good,
cleaning the years of wax polish from quarry tiles before sealing and best
of all removing dirt and stains from a cream sofa. Used it loads and then
the hose failed and I thought it needed a new one - turns out on recent
inspection that the inner hose had come off the nozzle mount inside the
outer hose casing. Was quite a hassle to get inside the hose to fix it -
hidden screws etc. - but managed so now it's fixed I expect I'll use it
loads again especially on the long since mottled dingy cream sofa. Don't
think I would have wanted to pay full price maybe.

I borrowed one from work, not sure what it was now, but it was huge, and I
was informed that it was pretty much the best available. Best at what I
ask?! Cleaning carpets - rubbish (1001 cleaner works better), burnt food on
the cooker - didn't shift it, dirty walls - no better than scrubbing with
flash, cleaning the car engine was OK.

Certainly not impressed at all with it.
