I own a SC 5 that runs on 220V and is the most amazing machine. The SC 3 steam is so weak it is weaker than my iron hence it doesn't clean and it leave water everywhere. I am return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello from Karcher, we are so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the SC 3. Please note that we do not sell products that run on 220 V in the US, so if you are using your SC 3 on a 220 V system it will not work properly. Additionally, this unit is not intended to clean clothes. I hope these tips help! Kind regards, Karl from Customer Care
For general cleaning and disinfecting it was great. I was disappointed in it's deep cleaning ability and the floor cleaner was not as good as my upright steam cleaner. Better instructions for glass cleaning would have been appreciated. I would not buy this again.
It is possible that I am being unrealistic, but this little (I mean little) yellow plastic steam cleaner looks as the cleaner is going to break into pieces at any time. The steam isn't hot enough. Basically, it is hot water.
I got really sick of scrubbing tile grout with AJAX and a brush on my knees. A lot of effort for making very little progress. And then I tried this little baby, the SC3 and wow! The machine is well built, easy to use and work fantastic. I started cleaning all kinds of things with this. My BBQ, the stains around my stainless steel gas stove top burners I have *NEVER* been able to remove. This thing is awesome. But now, I gotta wonder how good is the slightly larger model over on the commercial side?!?!?! Highly recommended!
