Kärcher Steam Cleaner SC 2 EasyFix, Steam pressure: 3.2bar, Heating time: 6.5min., Output: 1500 W, Cleaning performance: 75m², Tank: 1L, with EasyFix floor cleaning kit, nozzles and microfibre cover

When my last steamer finally took its last, steamy breath, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I love the Karcher range and find them to be the best products on the market. I was torn between the SC1 (£80) and SC2 (£100). After weighing up my options, i decided to go for the SC2 as it had a much larger tank and I felt that it would be easier to hold the light hose and wheel the steamer around, rather than hold a heavier handheld steamer. I am so pleased with my choice! This is honestly the most impressive steam cleaner that I have ever owned! There are multiple attachments and everything stores neatly onto the steamers base, which is an excellent design. Although it is still on the larger side, it is much easier to store with everything compact. It fits in my small storage cupboard. The device itself advises around 6 minutes for the tank to heat up. I found it heated up in around 3 minutes - bonus! The tools work for every single household chore. I have even used the larger brush tool with the cover on it for cleaning my kitchen cupboards- which are now gleaming. I have included a before and after of my back door also, to really show the power of this machine. I used no cleaning solution, just the bush head and the mighty power of steam, and my door is good as new! There was some debris that did make its way onto my tiles, etc, but it was nothing a quick going over with the steam attachment mop couldn't fix. You do have to hold in the trigger continuously and there is no lock function to make the steam exit the tool without me pressing the button, so my hand did get slightly cramped using it on bigger jobs, but it is an excellent safety feature none the less. The device itself also will not allow the water valve to open when it is too hot- another amazing safety feature, but can add time to cleaning if you need to refill the water tank. Overall, the device is extremely easy to use and has produced magnificent results. I am so impressed with my purchase and really feel that I will get the use out of this. No surface is safe now from me and my steamer! Even the kitchen bins have been steamed ! It will really cut down on overusing harsh chemical cleaning products in the long run, too. I really can't recommend this model highly enough to anyone torn on their decision to purchase this. It has made short work out of cleaning tasks, and I honestly wish I had bought it sooner!

I kept my eye on these, did my research and was lucky to nab this for £89 in the black friday sales. It cuts through the grease on the cooker hood and oven with ease. I can steam my bathroom tiles and prevent any mould growth. It takes around 5 minutes to come to pressure but it's very effective in what it does easily has 20 minutes of steam time. There's no more scrubbing involved. Super pleased with this steamer. Everything looks and feels brighter and cleaner.

I decided to buy this as it was on sale so it was a great price. Its very easy to set up and use. Literally you add 1 litre of water plug it in and wait till its hot enough and start using it. I've used it a few time to clean the floors in the hallway and kitchen and does a great job. Now the negatives. If you doing a big job and you need to refill the tank you have to wait a while for it to cool down to undo the tank screw. The water tank could do with being a bit bigger. This isn't really a negative but I thought it would be better than what it is. It is good but I just thought it would be stronger steam so not a fault of the item just my expectation

Very happy with it and its results.

This steam cleaner is a game-changer! Heats up quickly (just a few minutes) and has plenty of power to tackle floors, tiles, and even those tricky corners with the included nozzles. The EasyFix floor kit makes swapping pads super simple, and the microfiber cover leaves everything looking spotless without chemicals. The 1L tank is a good size—I can clean a whole area without constantly refilling. Lightweight, easy to handle, and surprisingly fun to use. Honestly, I don’t know how I managed without it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic really doing a good job of cleaning , would definitely buy agsin

Update: initially everything was OK with this, but I had found that the hose would kink constantly and develop leaks causing it to lose pressure and be ineffective. I returned back to manufacturers for repair with some faff on amazon's say so only to get it back and have the same issue with it. On the second time I said sod it and got in contact with Amazon whom got it picked up and refunded me for it. I so like this steam cleaner, but it does have its negatives. Firstly the good: Great prolonged steam power, it heats up relatively quickly and there is an constant amount of steam available once heated, and there is no loss of pressure or waiting for it to reheat if you used it too long. The attachments while few are all very handy and can be used in multiple ways. It is light enough to cart around, the steam wand is easy to adjust to suit the job and does not get overly hot to touch. Secondly the negatives: The cord could do with being longer, while not short it does limit the area of use, if you have a large bathroom and only a power point in the adjoining room you can find it a little annoying. My biggest grip tho is the hose from the main body to the steam wand, it coils/kinks on itself making it very hard to get the full length as it will coil back pulling the steamer with it. The pack could have done with another mop cloth, but you can buy a multi pack of non branded ones on amazon, I find having extra essential to get a good clean on hard floors. You do have to let it cool down before you can add more water, which can take some time if you are doing a large job. Overly I like it, will it completely solve your cleaning needs... probably not. You will still need elbow grease

I have only tried this to clean the grout on my conservatory floor and am really pleased. I’m new to steam cleaning so am looking forward to using it elsewhere too. The grout is really pale and has very obvious wear areas. Photos here on a cleaned and non cleaned area for comparison.
