Overall I think it is great - the cord length, the length of time the steam last before water change...the steam is really hot and cleans really well - my only gripe is this is the third time we've had to replace the main mop head attachment. They need to modify their design so it does not break so easily. Oreck replaced the head once under warranty and the second time they wanted us to bring it in to a shop. Since my wife didnt want to do without the mop I just ordered another one - we figured $37 for the part plus shipping was better than doing without it. And guess what - the part is on back order. If it breaks again we're going to find a different mop and will not purchase an Oreck.

Still Happy. It shines our kitchen floor like nothing else and we don't have to bend over to get the job done.

I am very happy with my oreck steam-it. This is my second one and I am glad I purchased it once again. I have no complaints!

I like the Oreck Steam-It. It does a good job and the floors dry very quickly. I am not too crazy about having to wash the pad that you use but you can cut up old towels and throw it away after using.

I am generally happy... I love how I can clean a whole house on one tank of water, I like the adjustable steam setting that actually works( not like the shark) . I like how it has a on off switch for the steam , I also like the fact I can attach micro fiber clothes to it.. What I don't like is it is a bit heavy and hard to push at first, esp on slate floors. The dail pops off easy, but is easy to pop back on ..

I'm still really happy with it. My only disappointment with my first one was that it only lasted about 15 months. I've had this one since mid-December 2013 and (knock on wood) it's going strong. I used it for a total of about 90 minutes this weekend.

I purchased the Oreck almost 18 months ago, within 9 months, the steam switch stopped working. I took it back to the local dealer. They replaced the steamer with a new one and within 6 months, this one is not working. I guess I will take it ba k again and see what happens. I am pretty unhappy at this point. It worked good while it lasted.

I am very happy with it. It is perfect for my floors but I will tell you that I won't be using it for anything else. It's too heavy to use for windows. Also the deflector nozzle comes with it to clean toilets etc. It did not work. This mop is is just that a mop but an excellent one. :)

Yes..... MUCH better at not clogging than the Shark. But HEAVY would be my only complaint

No, Brent. I just used it today to steam artichokes, and it shut down after 90minutes. If you're willing to watch it snd re-set it after it shuts down, then it should be okay for you.

Sorry to hear you had problems with yours. I've had zero problems with mine. Mine is running extremely well, due to the regular maintenance and upkeep I do on it. Like with any computer or device you have to maintain it in order for it to run efficiently. Great machine and still highly recommend.

I had a Shark unit before the Haan and I gave it away pre-maturely because I no longer had wood floors. Now I have them again so I wanted to buy a better unit. The consumer buying guide rated this one at the top. So, I got it. It works well but it seems like the cheaper Shark produced more steam. I still like this one better because it heats up very fast and for the money you get a handheld that you can use in smaller places (ie. counter tops etc.). I'm happy. It's definitely better constructed than the Shark. Good luck.

I'm glad you asked about steam...No it doesn't make hardly any steam at all - and for the person who said it doesn't pour fast enough, just push the button silly!

Hi, yes it has to be faulty, the only problem that I found with the one I returned is that the handle gets hot, but the steam was fine...

John- Their software updates helped, so the newer units aren't too bad compared to the first generation. I'm still looking forward to the next round of software upgrades though!

Hi Susie, No, and that is the problem with this one that I bought. After about 6 weeks, I did have to hold on to the button that is 3/4 down to keep the steam going. Prior to that, the steam came out on its' own. Very comfortable on my back, and the triangular shape gets into corners nicely.

I have one and had it repaired twice....the last time the repair shop used another product that was not Rowenta, it worked well for about 2 years then I started having difficulty turning it on (had to click on/off several times to get it on) Now I leave it in the on position and it works well, just plug it in. My Rowenta steam is about 25 years old and I am saving for a new one as I really like this product.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Get your money back! Oreck products are junk products in my opinion. Had a unit that never did work and Oreck would NOT refund my money. Good luck with your 'refund' that probably won't happen either.

This is the latest model, but don't know if the issue with the frequent steam button has been addressed. However, there's a link in some of the negative review comments section where the buttons can be purchased for $5 a piece. I wouldn't let the button deter the decision to buy this steam generator. It's the best on the market, in this price range.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

mine is cool.The steam is not very big，only can wet a small space.But it is enough to me.

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I own this unit and it puts out a fair amount of steam when reboiling. If you're reboiling from almost empty it puts out a good amount of steam for about a good 30 seconds.

Yes, mine leaks terribly (about half the tank worth) too if I'm not OVERLY cautious when I attach the tank to the handle. Even when I AM careful, it ALWAYS leaks a little. This is the new and improved version??? At least the Steamfast (which I compared to the Steamboy in my review) doesnt leak.

They sent me a "refurbished" machine originally, when I complained they sent a second one. The trigger for the steam blast broke on the first use, so now it super steams all the time. They both still work after a few weeks, but they are cheap-ish and your expectations should be low-ish. OK, I guess.
