These are extremely hot temperatures that produces steam so hot it can get rid of bed bugs, dust mites and can even sanitize surfaces.

This is the disadvantage of canister steam cleaners compared to up-right steamers which can be shortened.

Vapor steam cleaners do not rely on chemicals and detergents to remove dirt. The vapor itself is effective to deal with dirt thereby making these products favorite green products for many households and people who suffer from detergent allergies.

The Vapamore MR-100 Dry Vapor Steam Cleaner

The Vapamore MR-100 is a popular vapor cleaner amongst household users. It is distinctly different from many brands of steam cleaners such Bissell, Dirt Devil, Monster, Hoover and others.This particularly steam cleaner is a dry vapor steamer which means it releases extremely hot vapor which is effective in cleaning, sanitization, disinfecting and amongst other things.

It is a particularly effective steamer when it comes to dealing with dust mites and bedbugs simply because of its high temperatures. Despite having been an disappointment to some home users, overall it enjoys great ratings and reviews. Using a short attachment the steamer will give you the hottest vapor which is dry meaning it is less dense in water. This allows your surfaces to dry quicker. It has been praised for being an effective grout cleaner. This again is linked to the short attachment required when cleaning grout. This gives maximum temperature which loosens the dirt.

These same result appear to vanish when it is used to clean floors. Floor cleaning will require a longer hose which has the disadvantage of cooling the steam in the length of the hose. This is can be so bad to an extent that the temperature of the vapor is cut by half compared to when using a short attachment. Some users have complained of the Vaparmore MR-100 causing wet floors. This is due to the fall in temperature of the steam by the time it comes out the long hose onto your floor surface.

This unit is also not good for carpets. It is best used for bathroom, kitchen, sinks and tiles for grout cleaning. As mentioned you can use it effectively against bedbugs and dust mites. It maybe useful for sanitizing your carpet and other fabrics but cannot be relied on for thorough cleaning as would expect.

The Vaparmore MR-100 uses no chemicals. It is particularly important to note that the steamer has a wattage of 1500w. This is significant as it follows that steamers with as high wattage likely produce dry vapor and are dry vapor steam cleaners. Looking carefully at this market will show that most steam cleaners advertised do not have this much wattage and are therefore disqualified from being vapor steamers.They hardly sanitize, kill bedbugs and dust mites and other microbes in as much a as the advertisements claim they do. The MR-100 sells for about $300.00 and is therefore on the higher end.

- great for cleaning grout
- no chemicals

CONS

- poor with floors due to long hose attachment
