Steam Cleaners

Hi all.
I have some mental health issues so reading and comparing things I find quite difficult.
Im looking for a good steam cleaner that does carpet, soft furnishings, bathroom and kitchen, ovens etc.
Don't know if one exists but I hope somebody out there knows a lot more than me!
Thank you

I have a Karcher SC3. Would recommend.
I have owned smaller handheld steamers before, and a vax steam mop which were all quite good, but the Karcher beats them all.
I do a lot of steam cleaning and use it daily.

I have a Karcher and it is fab - but I don’t use it for carpets / soft furnishings. I have a VAX spot cleaner for that which works much better.

Agreed. Spot cleaner is much better on fabrics. I do the same.

Definitely karcher, but don't steam clean ovens. It can cause issues with glass shattering (penetrating a tiny scratch or chip and then that expands when it'snext awitched on) or getting too much water on electrical components.
