Anyone got a hand-held steam cleaner?

Looking at this one:
Amazon.com: Dirt Devil PD20005 Hand Held Steamer: Home Garden

Anyone have something similar?

What are you looking to clean with it?

Yes. Those people are more easily pleased than I.

I have the one my mom used to use. I use it to sanitize in the bathroom, kitchen sink and for my glass stove top. It is great for the stove top alone. At my mom's, I used it to clean blinds, walls and wicker chairs and a table. No issues and it worked well.

Only complaint is the water well is small for large jobs. For regular cleaning is just fine. I can check the brand if you want- I know it isn't dirt devil.

Have a lady bug that paid a small mint for...

It's meh at best. She wanted it so we could clean without all the chemicals with new baby around. It doesn't do everything that chemicals can do but it does some things well. Overall it's a big to do to get it out and jack around with all the tools.

Give me a rag, bucket and some hot soapy water any day.....

Van?

Go get some residue free upholstery cleaner and a medium-stiff scrub brush. Dilute the upholstery cleaner as directed. Slop water in there and scrub. Use a shop vac to suck up the excess. Let it dry. A steam cleaner won't come close to the proper cleaner and elbow grease. This method made my WJs interior look like new.

Mom has a Jiffy Steamer.

I use it to clean cosmoline out of my milsurp guns and accessories. It works quite well.

I also took down about 400sqft of wallpaper.

My mom bought one to clean her jewelery. It works quite well.

I bought a clothes steamer on a whim that looks similar. Thought I could just hang up my shirts and steam out all the wrinkles in a jiffy. Wrong. The thing is retarded. Pretty much a rubber hose hooked to the spout of an electric tea kettle.

The old skool steam jennies that run off kerosene: Thars some serious effing steam.

So in other words you weren't really asking at all. Gotcha.

Yes I was... reviews were mixed, not uniformly bad... decided to try it... It's a very small unit but so far it's not bad. Mom fond a $10 bill in the van she wouldn't have found without this so it's like there was a $10 rebate.
