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!

I couldn't wait - I've tried it out on my kitchen tap (very very limescaley) already!

But I did get a steam cleaner! Smile

Time to get busy Grin

Mine has arrived and it looks exactly like I was hoping it would. Child free day tomorrow so I will be putting it through it's paces.

dannydyerismydad · 17/12/2014 16:42

Mine's here! Thank you.

26Point2Miles · 17/12/2014 17:51

Mines here. Assembled and just cleaned the kitchen floor!

Covered in white bits from the cloth pad things..... Wondering if I should have washed them first

NellVarnish · 17/12/2014 17:53

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 17/12/2014 18:14

Mines here! Dh made a crack about now not knowing what to get me for Christmas. Jog on kitty. Nice and sturdy.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 17/12/2014 21:58

FluffyRedSocks · 17/12/2014 22:24

Chased the delivery driver down the road as didn't hear him knock yesterday! Set it up last night and tried on kitchen floor (after initial go where nothing happened I realised I hadn't set it up properly) very impressed on kitchen floor and going to try bathroom and playroom floors later today!

teddygirlonce · 18/12/2014 17:31

Just given the kitchen (lino) floor a once over - never has it looked so clean....

Can I use it on laminate flooring anyone?

Am looking forward to giving the bathroom a super-clean for Christmas! :-)

BTW have the people who are expected to do videos on their smartphones been informed of this, HQ???

imalostcause · 18/12/2014 19:15

I've had no information about what feedback, photos and videos are required, has anyone?

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 18/12/2014 20:31

No I havent. Quite happy to use it but no info yet.

NellVarnish · 18/12/2014 20:39

I went to pick mine up from the depot tonight Fluffy.

Got it all out and initial impressions are very good - it's sturdy and the attachments clip together easily. More importantly you can unclip them easily too without breaking a glittery nail.

So far have had a go on quarry tiles and grout in the bathroom with the hand steamer thingy, can't remember its proper name.

Will put it through its paces at the weekend.

Erm,, I've just done a little test on my shower screen, I did one door with the steam cleaner and the other how I normally would with a cloth and wipe, and they looked the same! Have I missed something?!

thewomaninwhite · 22/12/2014 21:53

I am trying this tomorrow now that it has arrived :) Will update!

imalostcause · 23/12/2014 03:20

I haven't even managed to open mine due to a combination of work and everyone in the house being ill! I wanted to clean the kitchen floor before Christmas.

strawberryblondebint · 23/12/2014 08:58

Mine arrived at the weekend. Along with a vomiting bug. I'm starting to feel normal and dying to get cleaning (must actually be vair ill still as this is abnormal behaviour.) looking at the box and thinking about starting on the bathroom
