I bought this as the girl from Currys said it was brilliant no chemicals needed. I had a sharp, which I loved, but our water is full of dirt, it kept clogging the filter. So I thought I would buy a different one as I needed a floor cleaner urgently. It takes far to long to heat, the sharp was instantly. The grip handle hurts your hand as it not smooth Handle , the steam is very wet, my floors take too long too dry. Not happy with this at all, hate getting out to use, to put the bit together, also there is no water gauge to see how much water there us. I wish I had bought a new sharp .. Anyone want to swap .

This is the second kitchen & bathroom steam cleaner I have due to returning the first one after only using a couple of times the compartment that held the tools kept falling open on of switch was faulty leaked water all over the floor just a total nightmare did send a replacement quickly but to be honest it's not any better I get more steam from my boiling kettle do yourself a favour and don't touch this model put your money to good use and buy another brand

My first VAX S5 lasted all of a 3 weeks before I sent it back! It leaked terribly from the bottom leaving puddles everywhere. It was replaced, I started using it again and the same thing started to happen again so I put it in a cat litter tray to drag it around without water all over the floor. When the VAX gets hot over long use the doors will not close, the hose gets itself in a horrid twist and the i found that the whole experience frustrating. Refilling once the chamber is empty can be very dangerous as the twist cap gets so hot and steam releases. Steam cleaning is a great way of getting rid of doggy smells, puppy urine etc. Its a great way to clean. If only steam cleaners where man enough for the job. Needless to say I sent this one back after a couple of months also. I now have an upright Bissel which cleans the floors brilliantly, easy to use, however I am now looking to find a hand held to do windows, skirtings puppy pens etc...............etc........

Mine will not heat up, hence no steam
