Exactly Jerry! To get "super heated steam" you can only achieve that condition via a pressure vessel apparatus. I'm not conversant with USA regulations concerning super heated steam, but here in Canada high pressure steam is government-controlled and only licensed operations with licensed operators may use high pressure (super heated steam) devices such as boilers etc. For example, boilers used to heat residences are by law equipped with special tamper-proof relief valves so that the boiler cannot be operated above 14.6 pounds per square foot preassure.

Right. That's why manhole covers shoot up into the sky in Manhattan occasionally.

I have a pressure cooker. Makes a great pot roast in only 45 minutes instead of 4 hours. Is it the same. BTW.if you need a way to spend your money- send it to me, I want a Canon R5
Try ABC Rental. Rent a washer and save your bucks and storage area.
Hi Jerry, I'd like to chime in on your post. There is a big difference between a "pressure washer" and a "steam cleaner". The use of a pressure washer should only be to the external area of a car, or truck. The reason is a good bit of high pressure water is used, measured in gallons. A steam cleaner makes its own pressure by expanding the water using heat, which makes the water to steam. The steam is the actual cleaning agent. The pressure washer will fill your car with water. Not good for wiring, electronics, and even seating. You will also have to extract the water by some means, so more expense. The high pressure of the washer can dent, remove paint, and overwhelm window seals, and door seals. (including trunk seals) Steam cleaners usually have a extractor to suck out excess water from the condensed steam.

I have the previous model and use it to clean my Harley. It works fine. Be sure to use distilled water to eliminate water marks if using it on nice paint. I also used it to clean other items around the house.

Yeah, that "pressure washer" was a typo because the guy on YouTube also used one of them, and it was on my mind. UPS says the steamer should arrive tomorrow by 10:00 PM. That poor driver!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting it.
Jerry. Please keep your new toy away from all computers as they are known to be harmful to their health.
I got it, and I like it. : )

That must be pretty upsetting for the koi.
