I saw this infomercial and the product seemed pretty strong. They had gauges on the different home steamers and others were at 2 bar or less, and this one was at4.5 bar of pressure.
I'm wanting to use it for my engine since I have not been satisfied with the Simple Green and hose. What do you guys think? Stupid or maybe ok?

Hmmm... I'd be interested in finding out as well.
Bump for an interesting topic!

 

I have seen the info-commercial too. Things that I unable to determine:

MTBF (mean time between failures) or how long the damn thing lasts without breaking
What temp is the steam (it takes about 140F to kill germs)?

Issues that I have:

There's is no Underwriters Laboratories rating of this device (see www.ul.com for more details).

It costs around 200 USD. Better off with an electric pressure washer.

 

Ive been eying those things for a couple years and have come sooo close to getting one. Buy online...you can save lots of money on As Seen On Tv stuff. Those Miracle Blade II sets go for like $20 on ebay.

Thats made by Euro Pro- a great brand. However that seems to be a really light duty machine. I've used a Euro Pro steamer that was red, and looked just like a canister vacuum. It worked EXCELLENT, the local detail shop uses it.

Look into something a bit more heavy-duty.

 

I got ome of these types of toys free, and gave it away for free. I'm spoiled having used a real Steam Jenny in the past, and having an ok pressure washer with hot water capabilities.

Simple green isn't impressive at cleaning engines, but S100 is. So is Gunk foamy engine cleaner.
