Scunci Steamer

[wendav13]

Does anyone else love this item as much as I do? It is very possibly one of the best purchases I have ever made!!! I just moved about 3 weeks ago - this thing saved my sanity! From the fridge, stove, bathrooms and windows... it made cleaning a breeze - and now that I am settling in to my new place - steaming drapes, sinks, bathrooms (yuck - you have to clean them even if they 'look' clean), etc..its a breeze with this steamer!!!!!:D

I have never even heard of this.

OK, my daughter in law and myself have wondered about this product, so you can do all those things with it, is there any drawbacks on it, what it says it can do and can't? tell me more please!! thanks in advance.

It comes with about a dozen different attachments: 3 nylon bristle brushes (, 3 wire bristle brushes(makes cleaning the inside of the stove a snap!), a "concentrated" attachment (directs a sharp stream of steam for cracks and crevases) a window squeegee, a funnel for filling, and clothes steaming attachments. The only draw back I ever had was being impatient when I ran out of steam (about 2 hours of cleaning) and not waiting to remove the lid - I got a bit of a nasty burn :eek: (and learned to be more patient). It has a pretty long cord and heats up pretty quickly. I honestly use this thing as much as my vaccuum cleaner! Really pain in the bum cleaning issues like the cracks between your stove and your counter tops, the accordion thingy :confused: ?) that goes around the door of your fridge, sink faucets.....you name it - I can't sing enough praises about it!! I even steam our toothbrushes with it!

WOW, I think I could have alot of fun with this item, and I will pick one up next time I go down the hill shopping to the desert, lol, I live on top of a mountain (Big Bear Lake) and have to go down to the desert to go do real shopping....I cannot wait to try this, I want to clean under the washing machine lid, in the back where I cannot get a Q-tip in there to get the dirt out, Oh happy days, fun!!! and there is also the shower door tracks....making a list, lol thanks again for the feedback on this and glad to know you like it.

I know this sounds wacky - but you will have more fun cleaning with this thing..all those "hard to reach and irratating to clean" places are a snap - vents...works really well on vents too!! I never thought of the washer though - I'll have to try that out (lol) Shower door tracks - 2 minutes and they are sparkling clean. Works really well on soap s*** too!! Happy cleaning:D

[caryn]

WOW! Sounds good.

Ok, I have a ?? I found the Scrunci steamer (In Red!) with all the attachments including a carrying bag along with a free Cordless Sweeper Model #52148 a $100.00 value, all this for 42.95 plus 8.99 S/H all items are brand new and it is on Amazon, does this sound like a good buy or not?

[wendav13]

ABSOLUTELY!! I think I paid about $65 for mine (I think they only come in red) Same thing you found with the attachments and bag - but no sweeper :( Looks like a good deal to me! :)

Ok, I am ordering one today from Amazon, can't wait to get this new toy, I might get inspired to get some stuff done that need it! Thanks for all your help!

[wendav13]

Let me know how you like it when you get it :D - and don't let yourself get any burns:eek:

[Cpogie]

Ok, I went in last night to order this and the one I wanted with the xtra goodies (sweeper) is gone (sold), I don't know if you have ever bought from Amazon but it is made up of sellers and when an item goes it is gone but I can still get one there just not that good deal and the price was a tad higher, only a few dollars, so I guess I will break down and buy that one before it too is gone!

[Cpogie]

Good News!!

Ok, I went back into Amazon and the deal I wanted was now available again so I bought it, for 42.95 + 8.99 shipping and it includes the cordless recharable sweeper model 52148 a $100.00 value (so it says, lol) so we will see when it arrives, can't wait to try this out! Thanks for all of your help, I did check on ebay and couldn't beat this deal..

You definitely got a good deal! I hope you like it as much as I do...I even used it this morning to clean my tennis bracelet!! Makes jewlery very shiny :D

[Cpogie]

Ta Da!!!! The arrival of the Scunci!!! I just got it today, along with the free rechargeable cordless sweeper, I just took all the wrapping off, that was a feat in itself, they had that baby wrapped tighter than a drum.... I will read all the instructions and give it a try possibly later....right now I am busy with laundry...Yikes!!!

[wendav13]

YEAH!!! Let me know!!! :p

[Sassy65]

Interesting. I never heard of this either. I will look into that. I just love to clean because it makes me feel better seeing it all clean and relaxes me.

Will that work on my mother in law's rugs....her 3 little dogs pees everywhere and I'm getting sick and tired of smelling it.

[wendav13]

I would suggest an enzym based product for that type of issue. They have them at the pet stores. I have found that "natures miracle" is the best one.

Ok, I read everything, fired it up and had a ball cleaning under the back lip of the washing machine where you cannot get into with even a Q-tip, it came out sparkling clean!!! in a matter of moments, not minutes, that was fun!!! then I cleaned the sink in the bathroom, it cleaned the drain thingy really nice!!! I am sold, and I love the carrying case for it too, nice and roomy for everything! I put all the small brushes and the little nozzle in a zip lock bag so they will not get lost in the bottom of the bag, again thanks for mentioning this in here, I love it!!!!!

:D You will be cleaning things you never dreamed of...lol....wait until you try it on the windows and mirrors!!

My daughter in law used this machine yesterday, she had a job cleaning windows, later that evening she called me and said this machine did an awesome job on the windows, she could not believe how this worked with just water, she is totally in love with this unit.. she made $175.00 for cleaning windows, yep that is the going rate here in Calif....lol

I need to move to California! I could make a killing there hunh?

[Cpogie]

All depends, rents are sky high here, so are utilities....nothing is cheap here..my daughter in law loves to clean house so this is a good job for her, she just bid on cleaning a brand new house, to get it ready for selling, her bid?? $1,150.00!! talk about cleaning up!!lol

I love using this for windows - makes a really unpleasant / mundane job a snap with no chemicals and paper products!!

[Cpogie]

allright, I have to tell you about the Scunci cordless sweeper that came along with my Scunci......not worth anything! that thing barely has enough power to pick up anything, lol I finally charged it and tried it out, well it will probably be ok to use on the kitchen floor daily just to collect any dust or crumbs, but not on carpet or even low rugs, just doesn't cut it! lol so this freebie that came with my original purchase was a good thing it did not cost anything! lol

My daughter in law borrowed the Scunci today, she has a big cleaning job of $500.00, she will use it on the windows and the other tough stuff! She loves this thing!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

It is very nice of you to loan it to your daughter-in-law. :)

I got a free Black and Decker cordless sweeper with my last vacuum cleaner and it was valueless. I ended up selling it in a garage sale.

Oh it is so nice when she comes and cleans for me, she will not take NO for an answer, so loaning her anything is no problem, I am good to her, and she in turn is good to me, we have a good time together!

Yeah I hear you about Black and Decker, my husband told me along time ago, never bring home anything Black and Decker, lol but have to admit I have a Black and Decker Dust Buster, that is 14.4 Volts, it works great, lots of power! and it has managed to last for 2 years now!

It is nice that you are both there for each other. That's the way it should be!

Glad your Dust Buster works! My vacuum has attachments, so I just use it. Kinda a pain sometimes, but it'll do.

I have never had luck with hand held vacs - but my hoover z has a 30 ft attachment hose.....I call my sweeper r2d2...hehe - it collapses into a small size.

wow, that is cool looking! hope it isn't too heavy?

[wendav13]

wow, that is cool looking! hope it isn't too heavy?

that is the only draw back - it IS heavy!! So I keep it on my lower level, I have an older hoover I drag from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor.......unless I am doing serious cleaning then I drag r2d2 up the stairs!!! lol

[mom2fussbudgets]

It looks awesome! I only have one story, so heavy would not be a problem for me.

Ok, have a question on this Scunci thing. There appears to be two differant models, one is red, and another is blue now. How long does the steam last, before having to refill it??
I am still on the border on getting this. Sounds great, but don't need something I will feel is a waste after using one time. ???? Any suggestions. This product hasn't been mentioned lately, anyone else have this now, and opinions again????

I have the red one, it comes with alot of attachments, storage tote, easy to use, and works great, as far as how long the steam lasts depends on how you use it, if it is constant then it will be sooner than if you spray something and then clean, spray and clean....I ended up giving mine to my daughter in law because she loved it! It does windows like a champ....and yes it comes with the attachment for windows, also a steamer attachment so you can steam clothes or curtains....I know my DIL will get more use from this than I will and I can borrow it anytime...If you like gadgets that work, this is a fun one to use!

[bvanpeltsw]

I went to amazon.com and it said that the product was out of stock and they did not know when they are going to get it in.

Was it discontinued?:confused:

[Cpowell23]

I got the red one with all the attachments. So far I've scrubbed my bathroom with it and was impressed, though it did nothing for stains. But that's not a big deal. The best part was getting the cat litter out of the corners--I've got one who thinks the point is to kick all of the clean litter out of the box and I had an awful time with it getting into corners and me not being able to get it up off the floor.

[breakaleg]

When you are using this, does the dirt travel down whatever you are cleaning a make a dirt pool at the bottom? How does this work on grout? The grout on my bathroom floor is hideous and I can't seem to get it clean.

[Cpogie]

I just got my Scunci Steamer out and cleaned the windows in the front of the house,....wow I am so impressed. Clean with just steam.
I will be doing the rest of the windows when DH gets home from fishing. I have to get on a ladder so I need him to be here in case I fall. :eek:

Thank God my ex DIL didn't take this when she took off!!
