Lesley Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Mine is on it's way - but if the previous posts are anything to go by perhaps I should just send it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Only gripe is that the water tank empties too quickly - but it would be too heavy then, so I suppose it's just right as it is It does....but it is easy to detach and refill and it heats up again in seconds. I should know....I must have filled it up half a dozen times to do my cooker top. It is fab for greasy tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm so relieved that folk are pleased with it! Well . . . my steamer arrived this morning, as you know. I have had such a busy day that I haven't tried it until now. (Thought: MUST try it before bed!) But, I can't get any steam The light came on and went off at a suitable time, the machine feels hot and sounds as if it's working, but there is no steam. Am I doing something wrong? Another question: Are the brushes meant to spin? - cos mine don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Oh no! No the brushes don't spin. Have you put the little thing with the brass ball in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Oh no!No the brushes don't spin. Have you put the little thing with the brass ball in it? You're feeling the pressure, aren't you . I have a feeling you're going to be our "help-line" from now on . (Don't worry, I'm happy with mine, just haven't had time to really test it out .)

Phew....that is good to hear! I shall be really disappointed if Ginette is not happy. Maybe hers is a faulty unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm not unhappy, just bitterly disappointed. I suspect I may have the only duff one. It's worse knowing they are out of stock now! Yes, the brass ball is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Do you own John Lewis then? You're not at all responsible. Everyone else is thrilled, so I clearly have one that doesn't work. I'll just have to leave the grime for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ginette, mine did that at first. I think it takes a little time for the pump to get the steam going through. Let it run for a few minutes and hopefully the steam will come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it run for a few minutes and hopefully the steam will come through. Thanks Snowy!!! Everything was all repacked ready for return, but I insisted we had another try! I held the button down for several minutes but still nothing, so I left it on the side to properly heat up as I noticed the body became warm last night. I tried it again - nothing. Then I tried it again and after about 30 seconds, the awful noise stopped and steam started to come out. OH is busy now Thank you - this forum is now a free troubleshooter too!

Egluntyne Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hurrah!!! That's a load off my mind! I've found another use for it. I've just been giving the downstairs bathroom a good fettling (in between looking at the forum) and when I did the shower cubicle I found myself surrounded by steam....and low and behold....for the first time in about 2 weeks I can breathe through my nose.....it's a miracle. It cures sinusitis!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd better rush off to the shower cubicle then! I've been plagued with sinusitis for several weeks now. I'll have to wrestle the machine off OH first though . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Glad to hear they're all being put to good use - I'd love one, but January is a hard month (6 weeks to get out of this pay packet as we get paid early in December). I called my folks to see if I can borrow my dads, but his (cheapo) one broke and he chucked it away It'd be great for the kitchen floor tiles.
