[gallery columns="4" orderby="rand"]The Steam Canister SHOWDOWN: I've done the comparisons for you
I have had my eye on the Ladybug steamer for months now, drooling over all it could do but it was far out of my price range. I own the Envirosteamer steam floor mop and love it, but I wanted something to get into tight spaces like around the toilet, in the tub, the oven, etc. With some Santa money I got more serious about purchasing a canister steamer in addition to my floor steamer and began some comparative testing and studying. Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood that is all "green built certified" which means, in order to have a green rating, all homes were built with no carpet and lots of people hate chemicals which means it's a neighborhood full of steam mops which makes comparing the models quite easy. That's a good thing because it just saved me over a thousand bucks because I wound up no longer wanting the Ladybug. Here's how they rate...you decide which is best for you:

These are the canister mops I compared:
Vapamore MR-100
Ladybug XL-2300
Haan...
Does a good job cleaning - but there are cheaper identical units
The Vapamore MR100 is split into two different links on Amazon. I posted this review under the other link, but it is relavant here too:

Steams grout and other things really really well. Better temp and pressure than the McCullogh and Wagner units. This unit develops a temp of 250 degrees and up to 58 psi (and has a flow adjustment). The unit itself and the hose seem well made, but the handle grip and all the attachments (and wheels) are somewhat cheap and flimsy, especially for a $300 appliance. I practically wore out the grout brush on first use, (although it was a lot of tile - - about 200 sq ft), and now I need to buy another grout brush attachment. The bristles on the large floor attachment were partially laid down after my first use also. Here's the kicker, you can find 2 identical cleaners (with identical attachment sets)... the Steam Extreme 3000 and Steampal Turbo which both sell for about $200, which is $100 cheaper than the Vapamore. Vapamore literature says that...

Vapamore literature says that their engineers designed the product... either they're lying or stupid because the Chinese factory is obviously selling it under other brand...
