“Sh this is a piece of it.”

Had a powerfully awesome SteamFast SF275 for something like 13 years and loved almost everything about it. When it when to poop (some electrical short) got a SteamBuggy (As Seen On TV) from my grandmother. Thought it would help my girls get back to steaming the floors. Excitedly got it home, filled the tank, applied attachments, and plugged it in. What the heck I and the girls thought when it started spitting out water squirts. The darned thing has not pressure relase button. It just heats up steam and starts spitting it out. Definately gets the floor wet. The SteamFast builds up pressure and a light goes out when it is built up enough to release steam after the pressure release button is depressed. Tried and tried to find a way to adapt the hose and attachments from the SteamFast to the steam buggy with no luck. Finally ordered anothre SteamFast SF 275 for less than $100.00 + $12 for two more microfibre mop attachments - about $10 using a coupon code I found easily on-line + tax which brought the total to a bit over $100.00. I will bring the steam buggy to a friend and see if he can adapt the hose to fit and/or just give it to him so he can adapt it for himself or sell it. Sh, this SteamBuggy is an As Seen On TV piece of it and a waste of money. Spend some more money and get an awesome piece of machinery such as the SteamFast that will last a long time and I suggest you get the regular SF275 rather than the McCollough professional as it seems the only real difference is the pro has a 10 ft hose rather than a 6.8 (I think) just do not want the longer hose as the further the steam has to travel the cooler it gets before it hits the floor, shower, motor engine, window, or whatever you are cleaning.
