    I am buying an expensive extractor (Mytee), and I also want a steamer just to do interiors (in between crevices, etc. Maybe something that will work for engine bays. I don't want to spend a lot of money since I'm spending a lot on the extractor. Maybe later I can get a bigger high-pressure one to use on the outside of the car.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm looking for something a lot cheaper, just to clean crevices, nothing too serious.

    I use a Daimer continuous fill steamer. You can get them for a pretty good price.

    I've heard about the Shark Steamer which is around $100 I think. But be careful because I have read some poor reviews on it.

    Remember you get what you pay for when it comes to a steamer so be careful.

    I have the Steam Buggy. It works great and comes with all kinds of attachments. It was about 150.00. I've had It for years now and no problems at all. Boy, There's nothing like the end results of steam. Only good for up to medium projects. Then It starts to eat up alot off time. It is Good for interiors...:thumb:

    Greg, I looked carefully at that machine and it looks great. I bought the Gaia model which has a vacuum and extractor in it as well. I know the owner says the 110 motor can't run them well together. It has for me including being run for about 2 hours straight without being shut off while I was cleaning my grout. Other than the issue of not knowing that it can stop if the hose connection isn't secure, I have had no issues with it. I love the fact that I can steam the grout and then immediately vacuum up the dirty water and move on. You wouldn't believe the finished result! When I have used mine on carpeting inside the cars, it is great that I can steam it first then switch on the vacuum and do both. The results are simply amazing...the carpets just feel so soft. That machine looks great and has an industry-leading warranty, but everyone has their bias.

    Yes. you get everything that's in the pic,plus he gives you extra nylon brushes.
    I read every blog I could find on these,and I honestly found nothing bad.So I bought one.
    P.S You can buy used ones for a hundred dollars less and still get the warr.
