Has anyone used any of those steamers that you see on TV? Here are some links: [another steamer](http://www.dutchguard.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=shhs&Affiliate=o) & Shark Steamer (forgive me if the links do not display properly.) Has anyone tried one of these? And, if so does it work as wonderfully as it is advertised? Ficer67 ---

I tried one similar to the Scünci Steamer. Not overly impressed. I had borrowed it from a friend; glad I didn’t buy it for myself. ---

I’ve heard that the [Cleveland Steamer](http://www.a1service.com/cleveland.htm) is quite a product. ---

I’ve got a Euro Pro steamer that works pretty well. Of course, it doesn’t clean on the first pass like the one in the infomercials. I have to go over the spot a couple of times. It’s cleaned the oven much better than the spray on oven cleaner and certainly smells better too. It cleans the soap scum out of the bathroom. All in all, I’m pretty happy with it. ---

Hyperelastic, I am so glad that link was legit! WHEW! Now, with a name like that, the Company’s products have got to be good!
