Thanks so much for your honest opinion. It helped me decide that this model is okay for me (just domestic housework). I can sympathise that it would be limiting as a professional cleaner though! It’s working very well so far. I find it heats up very fast and to speed up the cool-down for a refill, you just turn it off and released all the steam left through the nozzle. Once the pressure drops, you can open the lid much faster than just waiting. It did say to do this in the manual so I know it’s safe and it works for me :-)

How long can I use SC2 before it overheats? How do I know when I need to pause, the indicator turns red? How long should I wait for it to cool down before refilling it with a liter of water? What if there's still water in the reservoir, should I wait for it to cool down and pour in the liter, or should I empty it, then refill it again?

For me it just sto giving the steam flow I want. As long as U get steam it's not over heating. Water cools it.

Sorry my friend, but this is not the case. Waiting for the item to cool down before refills. No... Once the water and steam has gone You can undo the cap and do refills No water, hence no steam adds No pressure so the cap releases . The steamer let's you know when it Need water/ topping up & stops producing steam One of the best little steam cleaners out there Great on grout / tiles. All big & small jobs . 👍

Not the case when you get to the end of the tank of steam the steam pressure falls to low to do the steaming job there is still residual steam in the boiler, you have to turn off and hold the trigger to expel any residual steam out of the gun while still waiting for the pressure cap to loose pressure so that you can open the machine, this isn't the case with the sc3 or sc4 or sc5 which all have constant steaming

@vjcayman8311 2 жыл бұрын

I double checked - you're definitely wrong. It takes 10-11 minutes to cool down and 6 minutes to warm up so if you cannot do all your cleaning with one tank you'll have enough time to have a cup of coffee before your next cleaning session. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qOCnqs6Lyr_Tcn0.html

You don't mention the time it takes to refill from the moment you run out of steam. 1 hour, 10 minutes? what is the actual time added to using this device?

17 minutes. Definitely not a deal breaker for a smaller home.

Thank you, if you know some info about the SC2 upright version, my kitty is making dirt all the time, what is the extra work you have with the maintenance of the device itself and the cost calculation on the extra's you need to change regularly to make it work please? thank you in advance ps. the cartridge: can we get it easy? and in which frequency it needs to be changed please?

@RichManPoorTech Жыл бұрын

i am presuming your in the UK, but it dose not say, cartridges are easy to get either online or in the stores that sell karcher stuff, i tend to use brita filter jug to fill it, i just find it handy and i very rarely change a filter on either my sc3 or my upright, maintenance is just using good clean water and discaling if needed but as i use clean filtered water i have not had to de scale in any of my steamers,

@HeathifyMyLife Жыл бұрын

@@RichManPoorTech Thank you, I have just learnt that rain water would be perfect and we wouldn't have to worry too much on replacement the cartridge. And I used a elastic to keep the button pushed while cleaning, it relieves my wrist ;) Have a good day

The steam power for cleaning reduces, before the machine is fully empty, then you have to wait for the pressure in the cap to reduce before it can be opened

@andyrantshumanphilosopher7571 Жыл бұрын

So the sc3 can be refilled while in use but still only has a 1 litre tank. At least you dont have to wait for it to cool down. How ever, at the moment the price difference is £40 from what I can find. I guess it depends if youre trying to clean a whole house at a time or one room.

@RichManPoorTech Жыл бұрын

Prices fluctuate quite often I have even seen a sc3 for less than sc2 or more than a sc4 in the past if your doing a smallish job like a usually clean bathroom then it’s fine but if your tackling a longer job like cleaning filthy car seats or a heavily limescale tap for example then being able to add water while you’re steaming is such a worthwhile feature

I am in desperate help in knowing how to clean/steam an area of my couch (fabric) that has an extreme buildup of hair products. I bought a Karcher SC3 and haven't used it yet (never have used one). I also bought Meguiars D101 All Purpose cleaner. I read about breaking it down 10:1 but with the extreme buildup of sticky, greasy and gummy hair product I wondered if I can use more cleaner than 10:1 ? Any comments on how to start cleaning this would be greatly appreciated

@RichManPoorTech Жыл бұрын

As with everyone else all cleaning at your own risk and I would suggest trying on a area that is not visible, but this is how I use to clean heavy soiled cloth car seats. I use the hand held steam gun wrapped with a clean microfibre cloth and additional microfibre cloth, I would heat and wet with steam and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth swapping regularly, if getting too wet I use to use my wet and dry vacuum to suck the water from the seats to speed up drying, and the car seats would look like new

This guy is willing to travel 30 miles 15 miles there & back to pick up His SC3, but is not willing to wait 5 mins for the Sc2 to heat up??. Misleading info Once all stream has gone You can open it & refill with 1ltr of water whilst Still warm It take minutes to get hot again. I think guy may have had the misfortune of tripping over his, Injuring an ankle Now his main aim in life is to Put the Sc2 on the hit list ... Shame on you !!!
