Ivation IVASTEAMR20 1800W Canister Steam Cleaner

Great product for the money, puts out a lot of steam. So for I’ve cleaned all the grout in my home. Removed stains from the bathtub floor than would not clean before. I’ve steamed curtains, cleaned mirrors and shower glass. Now I use every other day to steam my tile floors. I bought a heavy duty mop sleeve from the grocery store and slipped it over the floor attachment, it’s a Little too long, but it works. It puts out a lot of steam. I have a steam vacuum, and it doesn’t do nearly the steam output that this one does. I love the versatility and great value.

Powerful steam cleaner. It would be nice if the steam hose were a little larger. Wonderful attachments. Easy to use.

I have never had to write a review this negative before. I just can not keep this to myself when another buyer might purchase this steam cleaner unaware of the problems, especially a first time steam cleaner buyer. Don't let the psi of 65 sway your choice of steam cleaners. Although the Ivation steam cleaner had the highest psi of all those I had researched, other important factors negated what i thought was an incredible advantage. One factor is product design. If the design is unable to functionally capture the psi to its potential, it has lost its advantage. The ineffective tool design in the Ivation steam cleaner suffers from this as well. The "gun" shoots a broad spray of steam that drenches the area with steamy water. If you put the wimpy and easy-to-lose, easy-to-wear out or damage 1 1/2 nozzle on, you will probably think: Why is this feature not designed into the "gun" in the original design? The only thing that keeps this nozzle on the "gun" is an orange o-ring. You are supposed to put the one attachment that you plan to use on before you turn on the steam cleaner. You are not supposed to change attachments during use due to danger of getting burned. This has not been the case with the other two brands of steam cleaners I have previously owned. This is a result of poor product design, one that other steam cleaner makers have solved. one that is irritating during usage. This is a huge frustration for me. I generally need the ability to change attachments with any particular cleaning job or changing jobs in order to use the remaining water in the reservoir. The mop head is so out of proportion to the two attachment sticks, its almost comical. The adaptor for the mop head and the mop head itself are strangely sturdy in comparison to the attachment sticks. The mop head has huge bristles that don't seem to fit with home cleaning chores. I like the fact that the mop head does have clips that allow for the user to clamp on their own cleaning cloth. When I tried the mop attachment the mop head came off every time on the pull-back stroke. I kept trying to push the mop head on to the attaching part to no avail. It just would not stay on. The squeegee is very narrow and small when compared to all other squeegees I am familiar with. It felt like trying to do a cleaning job with a toy. It worked okay, except the too-short hose presented a lot of limitations to its usage. The hose on this steam cleaner is so short it interfered with my work flow. I found myself constantly trying to find ways to enable it to work. This is the opposite of what constitutes a productive and useful tool. The one attachment that I did like was the rotating brush. I didn't notice how effective it was because I used it inside a shower where everything was white. It's a bit noisy due to the rotating brushes driven by the steam.I did like using it. I did not receive the owner's manual in the original shipping box, even though it was listed as being in the box on the outside of the box. This steam cleaner has a temperature gauge with color zones by which to guide the user. Maximum heat is the red zone and when the arrow moves down to the yellow zone you need to wait for it to heat up again before proceeding. This is great except that it happens so often it slows the whole cleaning process down. I ended up with a lot of wasted time. I couldn't really walk away and do something else while I was waiting because it was an amount of time that was wasted but not long enough to do something else. I tried to work with the people who make this steam cleaner. I explained my position, but I felt it fell on deaf ears. Their written policy was to provide a refund if a customer was unsatisfied with the product. The associate I tried to work with told me that I would need to pick another product in exchange for the steam cleaner. I told her no, that I needed a different steam cleaner purchased with a refund. In the next email she sent she stated that I said that the steam cleaner was defective, (which is something I NEVER said) and proceeded to tell me that she had sent out a replacement to me. Now I am waiting for a replacement steam cleaner that I need to refuse to accept. I felt like I was living in the Twilight Zone of steam cleaners.

We cleaned our kitchen cabinets and windows with the steamer so far and what an amazing job it did. Loosens all the grim and dirt for you to easily wipe away.

I have had this steamer for less than two months and while it works awesome. plenty of pressure and heat. However, after only 2 months of use the casing around the tube has melted off and exposed the inner water supply tubing. This is a major design flaw and burn hazard!I will update my review once customer support replaces the unit... but for now I would say, buyer be safe and beware!*** UPDATE *** I spoke with the companies customer support team and they sent me out a new one right away. These folks know how to take care of their customers! Wow.... Thank you so very much!!

I'm happy with my purchase, but very disappointed with being unable to purchase replacement parts (also normally carried at big box stores). Everyone out of stock and nothing expected. The smallest tipped part, good for getting in smaller areas and down in crevices of furniture, broke at the tip and is useless now.

It packs a solid strong surge of steam! I was not expecting it to be so powerful even though that was the hope! I forgot to take a pic of the chair before spraying with my favorite stain remover Shout, those are the famous Cool-Aid stains and ashtray droppings we all know btw, and then proceeded to steam the ottoman. So here you see a pic after spraying it, after steaming and after it fully dried. I would recommend this unit, it is light weight easy to use. It took a little longer than 7 minutes to fully heat up and build to pressure, but it is worth the wait!!! Please excuse the mess around the chair, as I’m sure you all can understand the reason for buying one of these!

With this being my first steamer I have nothing to compare it to a contrast it too. However I feel like I got my moneys worth. Very hot also it is very easy to use. The only thing that I hate about this is that you don’t have a see-through glass that allows you to see how close the water tank is to being empty. You don’t want to put too much into it it’s not good asThe manual states however you won’t know how close you are to empty either by looking at it

Works very well. I did not use it too much yet, but we used it on our mattress to make sure that there were no bugs or other things on it. It provides good pressure and temperature. I would say the most value for this price.

I use this to deep clean my tiled shower and to clean the kitchen sink mostly and it works fantastic! I love how easy it is to set up, how quickly it heats up and how powerful the steam is! It works fantastic at getting in cracks and also works great at cleaning off windows. I am still discovering the many uses for it, and i'm excited to continue to use it to deep clean

Works good but still have to put in a lot of physical work. All around good product, hate using chemicals. It does get places a bit wet though more than i assumed, still a better alternative to chemical cleaning.

mauvaise qualité

the temperature does reach high enough it cant even call cleaner . i also call customer line... she keep saying the psi is right as long as steam is outeven un boil water steam or house steamer is higher than it isif it is about psi ... then i just use my air gun to do the work why steam?!!!!look on the IR photo .. even inside the hose and more pressure and temperature should be higher .. it is not so highi dont know when it can reach his max temperature ..so the customer line only say .. that is max and as long as steam is out is working ,,dont know what is normal temperature will be at most timeso she ask me to email them .. i dont see they have tech departmentit is kind way off what it isother brand says about 93c on temperature. at least should be where it is .. more realps . one of review about attachment is lose.. because he or she doesnt fully in and lock.it is half round shape and half flat. so you need to turn it around .. and it will lock inthe pressure just made the look that temp is high
