Update: I liked it so much, I bought a second one for my daughter. I absolutely love this steam cleaner. It works like a charm. It heats up so quickly (15 seconds) and I can refill it while I am working with it. Which makes it go so much faster than the old one my dad had. 20 minutes cool down phase before you can refill and another 20 minutes for it to heat back up. I had a steam mop before I bought this one, which was great, it could come apart i to a hand held steamer, but the handheld part was a bit unwieldy. I ended up giving it to my daughter, she adores it. And I bought this one. The hose part is easier for me to hold than a handheld part that contains the tank. It is more maneuverable as well. Love the tank capacity on this cleaner. One tank cleans my entire kitchen. (It's not a huge kitchen and relatively clean, so obvs it doesn't take much to get it done, but still. It cleanes the floors, the counters, the stove top, and the sink. And so fast. I keep a regular cleaning rag in my ither hand when I steam the kitchen and just wipe the water up after I steam the counters etc. On the floors I finish uo with the steam cleaner and then use my mop (a swiffer type) with a dry pad to just mop up the water. Easy peasy, fast and so clean. We have three cats, so it's nice to know thw floors and everything else is cleaned with the hottest water I can possibly put on. And no chemicals needed. For stubborn stains I do use soap and it gets it so fast. (I use my home made soap, which has baking powder in it for greasy stains. Makes very short process of cleaning the kitchen after my husband has a fry up fest lol I go over our cat climbing trees as well with it to freshen them up. Our mattresses and the couch/chairs in the living room get steamed too. It's so nice to have it all fresh and clean so easily and fast. No big deal. Just when I switch duvet covers and pillow cases, I have the bed stripped anyway and run the steam cleaner iver it really fast. Obvs don't soak it, bu
