Karcher SC 3 Upright Steam Mop for Hard Floors and Carpets, 30 Second Heat Up

I bought this a month ago and it's amazing. The pump on my old steam mop broke and I hadn't realized how poorly it was doing until I used this one! It would be 5 stars but the cord really is kind of short. I don't mind so much because the rest of it is way better than my old mop, but I might consider getting an extension cord so I don't have to plug into three different places just to mop the house. It also doesn't stand up on its own so we had to put in a wall book to hold it upright when not in use. Also not a deal breaker but was a nice feature on my old mop.

I love how easy and heavy duty the product was as described

Every product I pouched from Karcher was a quality product.

This is the fifth Karcher product purchased. All the others, with this being the exception, are cordless. My assumption was this was also cordless since no cord appeared in the product picture. Surprise! If I want to use this latest product, I'm going to be tethered to a wall. It still sits in the garage unused.

Works great and makes for quick work. No need to stop and move the unit out of the way.

I bought to 45 days works great. Great price and very easy to use

Worked poorly during first use. Then wouldn't produce steam at all on second attempt to use. Will be returning unit.

Didn't realize how dirty our tile was until I used the SC 3 upright. Heats up very quickly. Replacement for Eureka Enviro Steamer which finally gave out. Won't be using the carpet attachment as we have only tile throughout the house.

I love the way this machine puts out steam. I love the options for wood, floor and carpet. This steamer puts out a lot more steam then my previous HAAN steamer. I love the washable floor pads. This machine ROCKS!

Karcher was an excellent replacement to my Oreck steamer, but much better.

I love this floor cleaner! It’s very easy to use and clean. With the winter months it’s been a lifesaver with all of the wet slushy snow being tracked into our home. I have a toddler and it gives me great price of mind to know that floor that he has been playing on is sanitary and safe. This is a must for those with health concerns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item works well once you can get it set up and working. The instructions were difficult to understand. The quick start guide has no words. Only pictures which makes it difficult to figure out. It took reading the manual almost cover to cover to feel confident that I set it up correctly and wouldn't ruin my floors. Once that was done it was easy to use and did a good job. I wish it had a way to lock the trigger as my hand got tired holding the dteam trigger. Overall a very useful cleaning tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heats up quickly and swivels around furniture and toilet with ease. Im still set in my ways for mopping floors, but this seals the cleaning for me and makes my hardwood floors streak free. I’ve used on hardwoods, stone tile, and marble tile. Even after mopping, the steam cleaner still lifts up dirt and grime. I recently was cleaning the grout lines in my laundry room and after scrubbing out the dirt and doing a quick wipe away/mop I used the steamer it really removed all the dirt and lifted away the stains and my grout lines were sparkling new. I’m not giving this all the credit as I did scrub each line but cleanup and final look was much easier and cleaner than before. My only complaint is the length of the cord and the speed at which you need to go. It is time consuming because you’re supposed to go slow for proper sanitizing. The cord is fine for bathrooms but I have to change outlets for my kitchen and laundry room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the SC3 for about a month. As a toddler mom, I think it does a great job of removing stuck on food from the floor. My floors actually look clean each time I use it. The SC 3 was easy to use once, I figured it out. I really like the fact that it warms up in under 5 seconds. It also has a decent length cord so I don't need to replug it as I move around. Even though it works well, I couldn't give it a 5 star review score for a few reasons. The first and major strike are those horrid, unclear instructions. After reading the manual, it took me 25 minutes to figure out how to sucessfully put on the mop attachment. My second reason would be its size. The SC 3 is not a large mop but it is bulky. I would have preferred if it were, a little more compact for easier storage. Lastly, would be the lever. After cleaning my entire kitchen and mudroom, my finger hurt from pressing the steam lever. A button/ steam switch would have been a much better option honestly. Overall, the steam mop does do a decent job despite some minor flaws. I would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steam mop has been helping me keep my floors clean this winter. The setup was fairly easy, since it just snapped together. The only thing that I had difficulty with was the water filter. The instructions weren’t super clear, so it took me along time to get the steam mop to actually work. The button that you have to press to set the water hardness level is pretty tricky to figure out. Once I was able to do that, my steam mop worked perfectly. It heated up quickly, and it removed all of the grime from winter boots and muddy paws. The removable pad washes well, and I’ve used it several times so far. The attachment for the carpet is very easy to use. It just snaps into place, and you can’t steam your carpets. I am really loving this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steam mop was very easy to put together and set up. I cleaned my wood floors and feel like they got cleaner than when I use a mop and bucket. The steam mop is easy to use. The only down side is I feel that the steam mop head could be a little bit bigger to cover more surface area at a time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, I will say this is a good steam mop. It does a good job at doing what it was designed to do. It has a few quirks that may not be a big deal for some but made it hard for me to love the product. The hard water filter seems like a gimmick to me. I live in an area that is known to have hard water and I have had other steam mops without having a problem with hard water buildup in the machine. To me this is just a way for them to force you to buy filters that, as far as I can tell, can only be purchased on their website. On that note, be advised that the instruction manual lists the hard water scale by the units of measure that are common in Europe and other parts of the world. Most municipalities in the US don't list their hard water measurements that way and it took me extra time to convert the numbers. The biggest drawback of this machine, to me, was that you have to constantly hold the trigger down to operate it. I get why it would be designed that way, and some people might prefer that, but I don't. I also don't like that it won't stand upright on its own. That makes storage more of a a challenge. Also, despite the very lengthy instruction manual, I feel that there is still a learning curve to set it up and use it the first time. It's easy enough to use once you've used it, but the setup and initial use take some time. On the plus side, I like that there are three different modes and an attachment for using it on carpet. Most of my house is hardwood, but I do have a few rugs that will benefit from this attachment. At the end of the day, it is good at what it is supposed to do, but there are some quirks to contend with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The steam cleaner is easy to use, it has a long cable in order for your to maneuver around the house when you are cleaning your floors, I would suggest reading the booklet that it comes with, if this is your first time utilizing such decide I did since I have never used a steamer cleaner, it also comes with a quick guide which I was very thankful for I have placed the quick guide somewhere where I can reference to it. It was easy to assemble and put together things were nicely labeled, it comes with two cleaning cloths which is very convenient in case you have a very big house therefore much flooring to clean, it does do a very good job my floor was nice and clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend this product because it cleans great.
