Mumsnetters needed to test the brand new Kärcher SC1 Steam Stick worth £99.99 NOW CLOSED

We've been asked by Kärcher to find 30 UK based Mumsnetters to put their SC1 Steam Stick to the test - before it's widely available in stores!

Kärcher say "The SC1 Steam Stick is the UK’s first handheld steamer that can also be used to clean floors. The Steam Stick cleans deeper without chemicals killing 99.99% of all bacteria just using tap water, making it an environmentally and family friendly alternative to chemical cleaners. It’s an innovative new way to help you effortlessly clean the most difficult and frequent household hotspots; whether it’s cleaning everyday dirt from floors, limescale from bathroom tiles, spot cleaning stubborn carpet stains or eradicating tough, dried-on oven grease. "

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters.

The 30 chosen MNers will need to be:

  • Available to receive the Steam Stick, and willing to test it over three weeks (15 December – 4 January). Please only apply if you're available during this time.
  • Able to leave feedback on the feedback thread at least twice: we'd like first impressions and then some comments after you've used the Steam Stick a few times. You'll also be asked to add a review to the Steam Cleaner review section on MN.

5 of the 30 participants will also need to film a few videos on their smartphone showing the product in use. Those MNers will receive an additional £50 John Lewis voucher as a thank you for filming.

Everyone who takes part in the product test and leaves their feedback as requested gets to keep the Kärcher Steam Stick after testing (RRP £99.99).

If you'd like to take part please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

Done and I've also asked on behalf of my dd to have a go with it as she has very poor hand praxis. I have 2 steam cleaners already so can compare and contrast, plus be able to comment if it's useable by someone who has less manual dexterity than ordinary people. My other 2 steamers are beyond her ability, one needs a button held in constantly to produce the steam which is too difficult for her to accomplish and the other sticks to hard floors so tightly she can't push it. If she could use this, it's a good selling point for Karcher to (after verification with a few other people with grip issues) advertise it as suitable for customers with poor grip, think arthritis etc. Large prospective market out there.
