First, in the bathroom I've used it to sanitize the toilet sit without chemicals. Of course it's unnoticeable but I don't have to wipe with my hand. In the tub it does eliminate certain stains but it requires patience. You have to treat each stain for a little while for it to disappear.
Second, for floors I love it because I can remove stains or anything stuck between tiles which is an area unreachable for mops and sweepers.
Third, in the kitchen it cleans really fast my dish drying rack and eliminates stains without having the use chemicals near my dishes. It also cleans the stove and the corners of the sink and faucet really well. The only thing I don't like is the water splashes all the area so I have to remove stuff that shouldn't get wet and afterwards I have to dry the area.
I've used it to clean a couple of spots on the carpet and it helped but I still had to use a spray cleaner for complete removal.
I've used it to clean the soles of shoes and it does an amazing job. I've also used to clean around the light switches and you wouldn't believe how much dirt gets in there. The wonder of this little machine is that it allows you to clean previously unreachable places.
I haven't had much chance to use the attachments because the main attachment works great for what I use it but I like having the possibility of using them.
It uses distilled water but it's not hard to find and unless you're cleaning a huge area you don't need a lot. The unit is small so the steam pressure runs out pretty fast, like 10 minutes maybe. If I'm doing something that needs a lot of pressure I let all the steam out and fill it up again. Also, take into account that during cleaning you might need to stop a little if the ready light goes off and the unit needs to warm the water a little more.
As I said if you know what to expect you'll love this unit.
The "Reviewer", the Professor went on to say, tells the audience WHAT they should see; while the "Critic" should tell the audience WHY they should or should not see. As a reviewer I must join the many users of this small steam wonder who think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Not perfect, but it truly is a time saver and a blessing for those of us to which "clean" MEANS clean and not "Pretty good except for that one spot...". The HS-20 is easy to fill with plain water, (no additives needed - I prefer distilled water though)It heats up in a very reasonable time and absolutely gets in to clean every spot imaginable for a thorough (especially around the bases of bathtubs and toilets)cleaning.
For those of us with mobility problems it's even better. Combined with it's bigger brother (or sister if you prefer) the Haan slim & light floor sanitizer, I am finally able to get my home really clean with a minimum amount of strain on my spine and knees. Even though I can only work for 10 0r 15 minutes at a time, that brief cleaning time results in excellent results.
Having said that, let me switch to some minor criticism of the Haan HS-20 Deluxe Personal Sanitizing Hand Cleaner with Attachments. Remember I love this little dynamo so don't let these comments stand in the way of your purchase. Instead, I hope the folks at Haan can pick up on these and maybe do some tweaking.
I have a couple of issues. First is with the user's manual. The manual does not explain all the attachments and how they can be used clearly enough. The explanations are implied rather than spelled out. For example, the set up comes with two items that are called a Microcham Towel and a Microcham Sponge what are these for? Are they meant for use with the steamer for cleaning purposes? Is the Microcham towel meant for cleaning some type of surface or is it a base onto which one should put the steamer itself? I just couldn't find clear explanations for their use. I think it might be helpful for the folks at Haan if they would review the users manual, with an mindset toward more detailed, yet simple explanations. That would make it easier for the user to follow, and understand the attachments
The second thing is that while the "Extension Hose" allows the user into tight places very well, it is still a bit awkward to handle. I had trouble maneuvering it into tight places. It felt as if the extender was crimping and pulling the unit over. I don't know the mechanics or engineering here but, if some sort of swivel could be built into a slightly longer and more flexible attachment, it would allow for getting into tight spots (like around the toilet at the floor( and under the toilet rim). A longer extension hose with a swivel would also help those of us who have mobility problems and trouble getting to low places (like floors and corners).
So, there you have it. Even though to some, the price of these products is small; for me, they represented a serious investment of my limited retirement income. I did my homework first and found both of these products to be among the best if not THE best items of their type on the market. Be patient with the users manual and be patient using the smaller HS-20 personal sanitizing hand held steam cleaner. They truly are products that I can swear by and recommend highly.
