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!

Anyone heard yet?

MummyBtothree · 13/12/2014 13:16

Am sure Mumsnet love to make us sweat. They build up more suspense than Eastenders on Christmas day!

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 13/12/2014 18:10

Supposed to start testing on Monday so surely can't be long!

MummyBtothree · 14/12/2014 21:10

Good luck ladies xx

NoisyOyster · 15/12/2014 11:47

Don't undestand, the testing was meant to be starting today (15th)

No-one has heard anything? Same thing happened with the vacuum trial last week??

26Point2Miles · 15/12/2014 12:18

We could ask HQ directly I guess by reporting a post asking when it will start

NoisyOyster · 15/12/2014 12:19

Already done 26

Did the same with the Miele testing when it overran. Don't think I'm liked much by HQ at the moment! Xmas Grin

MrsRaegan · 15/12/2014 13:01

Just marking place again and keeping fingers tightly crossed! Grin

AnnMumsnet · 15/12/2014 14:59

Sorry for radio silence folks...Angelie will be back and on the case tomorrow Xmas Smile

Waitingonasunnyday · 15/12/2014 21:06

IAmNotDarling · 16/12/2014 07:01

DH has been mopping the kitchen floor with Flash and a conventional mop. It smells so chemically it's overpowering!
