Works but it is weak

I wanted this to get out grime that I could not get with elbow grease. Unfortunately, this steam cleaner just makes cleaning easer because there is no scrubbing needed but it does not do a better job then you could do with just a brush and hot water. The hose is so long that it makes it less powerful. I hope figure out a way to cut the hose in half to make it more powerful. It is not powerful enough because of the length of the hose. Also be sure to use distilled water to prevent build up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does what it is supposed to do

I have used a canister steam cleaner for years, so I knew what to expect. Comparable units produce lots of hot, disinfecting steam that do a great job cleaning. So I will address the Karcher's pros and cons.
The description never does say how hot the steam is. Measuring with an instant-read thermometer, the steam never registered over 175 degrees, and it jumped between that and 135. 140 is required to kill germs.
The cord is too short. The plug does not have a groove to attach it to the cord. Tool storage is OK.
The water tank is SMALL . It requires frequent filling. I have to keep a pitcher nearby and watch the refill alert. This is the biggest drawback. It's nice that i don't have to shut it off to refill, but it's annoying that it steams for less than 10 minutes. I refilled it at least 4 times just to clean the shower.
It is small and maneuverable. The attachments are adequate and attach easily.
The handle has to be squeezed continuously to produce steam. I don't mind this, but might be a problem if your grip is not good. I think it's better than having to flip a switch or push a button to turn off steam. Probably safer, too.
Makes quick work of soap scum. I didn't have any mold to test it on.
It has two steam levels.

I enjoy the easy of use of this product so far. I’ve only used this for three months. I’ve been a commercial carpet cleaner for two years. This is a great product to use before a professional comes out to remove a stain. The first two minutes of use; you will see water come out the nozzle. This is not a factor. It should start steaming rather quickly after the first two minutes. This product is not professional grade. It will get the job done with consistency. The only thing missing is a wet vac. I believe this company sells a unit that provides the previous functions I mentioned earlier. I am only reviewing the SC 3 easyfix steam cleaner. You do have to wipe down the spot you are cleaning with a rag or sponge to remove excess water and dirt.

Makes a loud noise. Needs to be turned off and on again for the noise to go away. Does not get very hot. Returning this the very next day.
