reviews)I have had my eye on the Ladybug steamer for
months now, drooling over all it could do but it was far out of my
price range. I own the Envirosteamer steam floor mop and love it,
but I wanted something to get into tight spaces like around the
toilet, in the tub, the oven, etc. With some Santa money I got more
serious about purchasing a canister steamer in addition to my floor
steamer and began some comparative testing and studying.
Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood that is all "green built
certified" which means, in order to have a green rating, all homes
were built with no carpet and lots of people hate chemicals which
means it's a neighborhood full of steam mops which makes comparing
the models quite easy. That's a good thing because it just saved me
over a thousand bucks because I wound up no longer wanting the
Ladybug. Here's how they rate...you decide which is best for
you:
These are the canister mops I compared:
Vapamore MR-100
Ladybug XL-2300
Haan Canister
Reliable Enviromate
V=Vapamore
L=Ladybug
H=Haan
R=Reliable
NUMBER OF STEAM JETS SPITTING OUT HOT STEAM:
V-10
L-8
H-12
R-5
WATER PRESSURE CONTEST; (1st place being shoots steam the
hardest)
V- 2nd PLACE
L-1ST PLACE:
H- 3rd PLACE:
R- 4th PLACE:
CORD LENGTH: (so you don't have to stop, unplug, water cools some,
replug in)
V-18 feet
L-15 ft
H-18 feet
R-8 feet
recap: An 8' cord is INSANE. I couldn't even get across my kitchen
counter or walk around my bed to steam all of the mattress without
using an extension cord!
STEAM TEMPERATURE
V-256 degrees
L-297 degrees
H-212 degrees
R-218 degrees
Note: These temperatures are based upon using the small hose
attachments. In every case that we used the long hose attachment
included to turn these into a floor mop, the steam had to travel
down the long hose so it cooled and wound up only being about 115
degrees by the time it reached the floor. Which results in very
poor cleaning. Because of this, if you are wanting this mostly for
floor steaming, I would suggest going with a steamer that shoots
out hot steam directly onto the floor from its tank rather than
through a long hose before reaching the floor as a canister mop
does.
TIME TO HEAT UP:
V-10 min
L-8 min
H-3 min
R-5 min
WATER TANK:
V-1.6 liters
L-1.8+1.5 quarts
H-20 oz
R 2 liters
CLEANING:
For a controlled cleaning test, I mixed Dr. Pepper with sugar and
spread it evenly across a 4' length of my stained concrete floor
and kept the pets away until it dried completely in a gunky mess. I
then tested each mop against it in lengthwise strips, moving them
at the same pace after a full heat up, as well as testing each on
its own strip of bathroom tile & grout. Here's who performed
the best:
Tie: Ladybug and Vapamore. These, due to the really hot temps,
loosened the gunk on impact and made it VERY easy to clean my
floor. Their hot temps and heavier steam also cleaned tile the best
but Vapamore actually did a BETTER job on uneven surfaces like tile
with grout..but don't expect shiny white grout because it wasn't
exactly returned to looking brand new either.
2nd place:Haan...but it wasn't nearly as good as the above two.
Last place: Reliable. Although the steam temp is hotter than the
Haan, it doesn't shoot out as strong and only had 5 steam jets so
this diminished its effectiveness Didn't come close to the V or
L.
All were at temps to kill bacteria and sanitize without using
chemicals such as counters and mattresses, unless you tried to turn
it into a floor mop which I don't suggest because the steam was too
cool to clean as well as a real floor steam mop made for that
purpose.. Other notes: The ladybug was the most awkward to carry.
It just wasn't made for carrying up stairs, etc. Conclusion:
Considering the Ladybug is over a thousand dollars more than any of
the other mops, this was a real eye opener! I tested these with my
friends and we all agreed, hands down, that the Vapamore was the
best buy. And I love it! It cleaned the best BUT the Ladybug lasted
much longer as far as cleaning time. However, Vapamore cleaned for
50 minutes prior to needing a refill which, for me, is all I need.
That said, if you want to use this commercially and don't want to
have to take time to refill, the Ladybug may be worth the steep
price for you. Considering they have the same 3 year warranty
though, I'd rather buy 4 Vapamores for the price of one Ladybug and
have one in every room. I kid. The Reliable seemed to lack things
that were just silly...like having a cord longer than my blow dryer
and only having 5 steam jets.

is still going strong. Tonight I rented a wallpaper steamer for $30
a night and found that my steam buggy outdid the rented
professional machine by far. Besides that type of job, the steam
buggy sanitizes everything without chemicals and has not failed me
for any job I use it for. I refuse to buy any other brand or
recommend any other brand. I love it!

reviews)I purchased this item against my better
judgement (Shark's terrible performance reputation) because I
needed a relatively portable steam cleaner for small jobs and was
hoping this Shark might be user friendly (for a change).
Disappointed again! The unit is portable, but the steam cleaning
ability is minimal. In addition the user parts (steam release
switch trigger, nozzle) are both plastic. Also this steam bottle
must be filled from the bottom and has a flimsy rubber flat press
on sealer cap which is akward to reseal after filling. The biggest
negative of this unit is its erratic/inferior steaming performance.
The manual claims it is a 1500 watt unit, but the steam emitted
simply does not loosen everyday dirt/stains sufficiently for their
removal using a cleaning cloth/towel and lots of "elbow grease". I
used this Shark steam bottle both in the kitchen and the bathroom
with disappointing results. The only good feature is a blue
indicator light on the top which purportedly informs the user when
steam "operating" temperature has been reached. However the light
quickly changes to red (needs to reheat) when the plastic trigger
is "pumped" a few times. In addition the steam continues to come
out after the trigger is released. The steamer came in a blue bag
with some worthless accessories and several "micro bead"(?)
cleaning cloths. Buyer beware - another shark to avoid.

reviews)I own a three year old Eureka Enviro Steamer
that has gotten pretty worn and leaks water readily now, so I
bought a big Euro-pro Steamer that I thought was way too loud for
little jobs and just tried this Mini Steam Zapper today and give it
two stars max.
The Zapper weighs more than 5 pounds which feels rather heavy for
its size when full of water, but the water capacity is less than 10
ounces or 300 ml. That amount of water lasted less than 30 minutes
and the Zapper did not even finish cleaning two small round
bathroom sinks.
It is cute but ineffective, heavy, and just as noisy as the big
steamer. Get the big steamer - it's replacing my old Enviro-steamer
on the floors and does the little jobs better than this mini
steamer. This mini steamer is not worth the price.

Masja Bigleaf Hydrangea Bush
- NEW -Unusual Pink Blooms
Hydrangea is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants
native to southern and eastern Asia (from Japan to China, the
Himalaya and Indonesia) and North and South America. Hydrangeas
produce flowers from early spring to late autumn. The flowers of
Hydrangea are carried in bunches, at the ends of the stems. Each
individual Hydrangea flower is relatively small. However, the
display of color is enhanced by a ring of modified bracts around
each flower.
In most species of Hydrangea the flowers are white, but in some
species, can be blue, red, pink, or purple. In Hydrangea species
the exact color often depends upon the acidity or alkalinity of the
soil. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, neutral soils produce pale
cream petals, and alkaline soils result in pink or purple.
Masja Bigleaf Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla 'Masja'
Family: Hydrangaceae (Hydran-gea: Greek for water-vessel, from
shape of capsules) Hydrangea is a fascinating genus of plants with
remarkable diversity. It includes vines, shrubs, trees and
semi-herbaceous plants, many with outstanding ornamental
features.
A superb red Hydrangea! Semi-dwarf plant with big red mop head
flowers and attractive glossy foliage. Vigorous growth and sturdy

pushed the dirt into the grout lines. I bought the Swiffer Vac due
do a recommendation from a friend. Boy! I am glad I did! It is
awesome for quick pickups. It is great for dog hair and dirt. I
just wish the vacuum surface was a little bit wider and the dust
cup would hold a little more dirt. The filter clogs easily but then
I am cleaning up after two shedding dogs. I love this product. Just
be sure and empty the dust cup regularly and keep it charged!

and I like this one alot better. It is more compact, so it gets
around places real easy, where the other is 13 inches wide and
won't fitin certain areas as easily. I use it everyday and it runs
fine, with no problems. The bigger one seems to bog down on
carpets, even when I set it for carpets, but not this little guy..
Oh, and this quick n quiet sweeper is alot quieter that the bigger
ones, but does the job as good or better in my opinion..
