Does the steam cleaners shown on Infomercial's really work as they appear to
do? I'm looking at a "Scunci" Hand-Held Steamer in a Harriett Carter
catalog for $59.95. Anyone have any experience with these. TIA

I realy cant see them as more than a new product looking for a market
and dont see their worth. Just something new to spend your money on.

Sure they do, on the commercial. However when you get it home, you will
find that what you need to clean is not exactly what they were cleaning on
the show.

Sorry there is no free lunch. If they were all that good, the pros
would use them, and I have yet to see a pro use one ..... we maybe a pro
salesman.

these. TIA

i got a commercial steam cleaner that can clean anything... but is too
big and messy to work inside the house with.. used it for cleaning a/c
units years ago.. without any chemicals(soaps) it would blow away the
crud in the inside of the coils on the window a/c units.. it would get
rid of any grease, oil, wax, you name it the stuff looked brand new
after using it.. the small hand held units ????? but i do remember years
ago buying a small plastic, plug in the wall thing for steaming
clothes... fill it up with about 1 pt. of water and plug it in and the
steam(oh forgot you had to add salt to the water first) and you would be
able to steam your clothes and it would remove the rinkles from the
clothes..... it was the salt added to the water that made it steam
because the boiling point of water is lower with salt in the water... so
you have steam.....i think i paid about $12.00 for this thing about 35
yrs ago.. still got it, but never use it.. back then i needed something
to get the rinkles out of clothes(dry clean type clothes)... dont
really need it anymore...

I bought a floor roll around model from Target, on sale. It is great for the
bathroom and the kitchen. It takes a couple of minutes for the steam to be
produced and the unit holds about 3 cups of water. I can do both toilets and
floors around the toilets with one tank of water. I am happy with mine. I
had back surgery a while back and I do not carry anything unless I have to.

Cheap China C**P, Marketing, Mail & Phone Fraud
Reviewer: bruceaa3 from Carrollton, TX United States
First of all, I am an advanced degreed electrical engineer. I almost
never buy off TV. Caveat Emptor and all that. Well, we have a new
baby, so I wanted everything really clean. I bit...and got bitten.
1) The machine spits out steam at a raging 105 decibles - comparable
to a small jet engine. They used a highly directional microphone to
eliminate the sound on the infomercial.

2) Now the fraud: The shipping and handling was listed on the website
and by the phone salesclerk at $19.95. Arrived with S&H at $24.90 plus
Texas State sales tax OVERCALCULATED at 11.7%. The real rate here is
no more than 8 1/2%.

3) Tried this unit on every item as seen in the infomercial. Total
failure. I suspect they pretreated the areas, or painted on the
"stuff". An entire pot of water failed to remove any grease from the
porcelein coated new BBQ grill I have. Ditto soap scum and mold on a
sink. Ditto road grime on mag allow car wheel.

They have no real website, no email address. Had to go hunting for
"Scunzi" on the 'Net. The address they list are no-name warehouse
owned by "Universal Inventory, Inc."
This one is just 10 minutres from me. I will investigate and then
contact Consumer Affiars, the DA's office and the Postal Service, as
well as make a bank chargeback..
