Steam Cleaner, anyone have one?

I am looking for a portable, yet powerful, steam cleaner for degreasing, basic cleaning, etc. at a reasonable price...nothing commercial grade needed.

Any recommendations?

Rent one when needed would be my recommendation. I haven't seen a small unit yet that is worth a dam. Of course convenience is a consideration however you would have to use it a lot if renting to offset the initial cost plus maintenance of purchase one that would be capable of doing a reasonable job. I rent when I need one which hasn't been often. If I could find one a decent one under 2K I would jump on it . Until then I rent.

Thanks Bob.

With Vern buying lunch this year, I have some extra money for a purchase.

Not sure what or how much you're trying to clean of or on the car, but have you considered Dry Ice Cleaning?  Take the parts or car to a cleaner or some will come to your location.

Check out the EWBANK SC1000 on Amazon.  I purchased this item a couple of years ago to remove window tinting on a couple of cars and it worked flawlessly. Also used it to clean tile grout on kitchen floor, etc.  Runs for about 45 minutes on one filling.

You certainly have a lot more and less expensive options when looking for a house hold unit compared to a usable one for a typical shop which is what I thought you were looking for given it was brought up on the forum given its emphasis. Best of luck with your search.
