Pros: Small, Light Weight, Great Steam Production
Cons: Pricey from Sharper Image, vacuum action needs improvement
Summary: I recently purchased the Steam Wizard® by Sharper Image. It is really a very nice hand-held steam cleaner. It is the first small steam cleaner that I've found that actually produces real steam. This makes a real difference when cleaning your carpet or ... read more

Pros: Gives off real steam...Is a small size easy to store...Has great vacuum power.
Cons: Doesn't get out stains as promised... Steam actually sets some stains.
Summary: I found that the Steam Wizard was a great size. It stores just about anywhere. It is easy to fill and to clean. It has a reusable filter. It is very comparable in size and use to a Dust Buster. I purchased the Steam Wizard because I had an old ... read more

Pros: Small, okay for cleaning up wet messes, comes with long cord.
Cons: Too heavy, sucks at sucking, does not perform as advertised.
Summary: The Good
Can get "almost new" model via Sharper Image Auctions for way less than the price in the catalogue!

Pros: Easy to use, works great
Cons: Can be expensive.
Summary: I bought this steam vac off of Gadget.com for 70.00 when they were having a sale. I am so glad I found this.
You just fill the resevor up with water and plug in the cord, which is very long. There are different settings, you can set it on, ... read more

Pros: Strong Steam, Relatively Compact, Long Power Cord, Cheap on Ebay
Cons: Heavy, Not Enough Suction Power, Hard to Clean.
Summary: When I received the steam wizard, I expected 'magical' results. However, despite not living up to my expectations, it did still impress me enough to recommend the product.
It was about a month ago I spilled some Tom Yum Soup (Thai Food) on my ... read more

Pros: Really sucks! True steam
Cons: Pricey if you didn't get it at auction
Summary: I got this at an auction for $60. Honestly I wouldn't pay over $100 for this thing, but for $60 I think it's a great price. The vacuum really sucks!-- I mean that in a good way. The suction power is comparable to the Shark EuroPro vacuum (that small ... read more

Pros: Compact. Lightweight.
Cons: Read directions first. Time consuming.
Summary: I first bought this unit at Sharper Image when we bought a Puppy. We have off-white carpet around the house so we need something that would clean our carpet istantly when our Puppy makes a mess.
For this unit to work, you really have to read ... read more

Pros: Great suction for its size. Great steam action.
Cons: Steam doesn't take everything out. Also, the attachments are not the greatest.
Summary: I purchased my unit through Sharper Image's auction site. Mine cost a mere $60.00. It was $60.00 well spent! Despite the last reviewers comments about water and other waste leaking through the unit, I have never had that problem. The vacuum has great ... read more

Pros: Handy as a mini wet vacuum
Cons: Failed to adequately clean even fresh spills
Summary: I live in an apartment with low, tight pile carpeting. I have two small dogs who sometimes have accidents in the house. I wanted something quick and easy to clean up the occasional messes they make. I heard about the Sharper Image steamer from a friend ... read more

Pros: great for small areas, gets stains out using steam
Cons: rather heavy for some things like drapes, you have to spray the carpet if you want to use cleaning fluid: no reservoir for cleaners
Summary: I got the Sharper Image Steam Wizard a few months ago, when I saw the ad on tv. I've since gotten all kinds of mailers in the mail regarding it, but at the time I just saw the info-mercial. I thought the thing was cordless. I guess I should have looked ... read more

Pros: Seems to work.
Cons: Reversed hoses on pump.
Summary: Inherited the Steam Wizard from a friend who found it didn't work as a steamer. They had it too long for service. Opened it up and determined that the pump lines were reversed. Changed them and it started

Pros: NONE
Cons: Doesn't work.
Summary: My steamer is making plenty of clicking sounds, and the underside of the unit is warm, but absolutely NO steam is coming out. I do have the turbo steam setting set to "on" and I do have the other setting set to "steam." (there are only two

Cons: read above
Summary: I purchased a Steam Wizard (SM420) several years ago and have only used it several times. I recently tried to use it and the steam element has stopped working so I contacted Sharper Image about service. There is no service for the product and they will

Pros: Good suction
Heats/steams water pretty well.
Cons: Loud. Hard to clean. No brush up front.
Expensive for a not-so-good product.
Summary: I bought the Steam Vac because I wanted something easy to use and move around the house because I have dogs. It has good suction...but that's about it. I've had two already and both broke in the exact same place - the flimsy wire hinge that holds the

Pros: light, steamer works well and is quick
Cons: poor suction power, clogs easily, parts breaking off very easily
Summary: I have small children that like to dump their food out everywhere. After running to get our upright vacuum several times a day I decided to buy this product. Originally it worked quite well however there are some design flaws. The vacuum portion works
