HomeRight SteamMachine Power Steamer Review

What is your least favorite room to clean in your house? I confess the bathroom is my nemesis.

Dave surprised me a few years ago by redoing our bathroom when we were away on a trip. It was a complete shock and he did a beautiful job with it. The only problem is the shower is lined with decorative ceramic tile, which looks very classy but is horrible to keep clean.

We had also had bad combination in the bathroom for ages. Our window wouldn’t open and we had a cheap bathroom fan so the humidity from the shower would just build up on the tile walls and get in the grout. No matter how hard I scrubbed I couldn’t get it clean.

That’s why I am excited about the HomeRight SteamMachine Power Steamer is a multi-purpose steamer that comes with 6 attachments which allow you to use it to remove wallpaper, sanitize hard floor surfaces, clean stovetops, grills, showers, sinks, and more.

It uses a high pressurized steam that leaves behind no chemical residue and kills 99% of all germs and bacteria.

I couldn’t wait to use the SteamMachine and our first project was our shower. Here’s a before picture of the grout in our bathtub.

SteamMachine Bathtub BeforeDave put the SteamMachine to the test and used a smaller nozzle to blast steam at the grout. We couldn’t believe it, in just under 1 minute it was clean!

SteamMachine Bathtub AfterI’ve scrubbed and scrubbed that grout and the before picture was the best I could do to get it clean. I was so impressed I took a video of Dave using it so you can see how simple it is to use and how it actually works.

After tackling the shower tiles I tried it on the floor tiles. We had Kora & Logan’s double birthday party last week and we really needed some help getting those tiles party perfect. Here’s a before picture.

SteamMachine Tile Floor AfterThe SteamMachine did such a great job in our bathroom that I couldn’t wait to try it on our fireplace. We’ve never built a fire in our fireplace because not only is it very shallow but it’s gas and we never hooked it up or got logs for it. This turned out to be a good thing when 3 or 4 years ago one of the kids decided to show off their artistic talents on the fireplace bricks with a crayon. I’ve tried everything to get it off but crayon on brick is a tough one. I wanted to see what the SteamMachine could do to clean up the fireplace.

Here’s the before picture:

Since the SteamMachine is advertised as the “absolute fastest and easiest way to remove wallpaper” and we have wallpaper in out stairway that’s been begging us to take it down for years, we put it to the test.

SteamMachine WallpaperHere’s a video of Dave using it to remove the wallpaper.

I couldn’t believe how the wallpaper just peeled right off and the glue came off just as easily. It’s amazing and we are excited at how quickly it worked. We’ll be able to have all of that wallpaper down in under 30 minutes. It had me wishing we had this machine back when we first moved in and our entire house was wallpaper. The time and aggravation we would have saved thanks to the SteamMachine would have been invaluable.

I highly recommend the SteamMachine to anyone looking to sanitize their home or office or to those simply looking for the most efficient way to remove wallpaper. It is easy to set up. Simply fill it with water. Turn it on. Wait about 7 minutes. Connect the appropriate attachment and steam away. The 8 foot hose and extenders provide a long reach and the built in wheels make it easy to move around. It holds up to 40 oz of water and can deliver steam for up to 45 minutes!

I love that it uses pressurized, high temperature water, to loosen dirt, grime, and kill bacteria. It’s a great way to sanitize those hard-to-clean places without using a lot of muscle or harsh chemicals. The HomeRight SteamMachine Power Steamer is one of my favorite cleaning products and now that I’ve started using it I can’t wait to find other things around the house to steam clean!

  1. Love all the great cleaning ideas peeps are leaving our homes will be the cleanest in the nation. I would try on basement sink

  2. Definently clean the bathrooms and the floors. Id use it to clean the siding on the house too.

  6. i would steam clean my carpet, i have a dog and 4 year old granddaughter making little messes around the house.

  35. we have very hard water. i’d start with blasting the shower walls and door, then head to the kitchen to get down and dirty with the tile & grout.

  37. Some of my 3 year old grandaughters beautiful artwork!! On my walls, the floor, the fridge!

  38. I have a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder and a labral hip tear. I am not able to scrub, so this would help me keep my house clean and my body from hurting anymore than it does. Hoping I win this one!

  41. My shower doors among other things. I’m sure there are tons of things we could use this for.

  44. This would be used for various purposes cleaning my house, tile floors, even in the garage for auto parts and tools!

  46. I’d clean everything!! We have some walls that look like your before picture with the crayon everywhere and can’t find a product that removes it! Would love to use it on the tile as well and when we move, the wallpaper!

  51. my tile floors!! i love seeing your pics makes me think its going to work! i’ve tried so much already to clean them

  70. We are hoping to purchase another home soon – and I dread the thought of wallpaper…really really dread it – so much so that if we look at a house with wallpaper online, I cross it off my list. But now – there might be hope for some of those homes! I’m so going to look into this if I don’t win (but I want to win *wink*) LOL :)

  75. hey hey! I would steam clean around the toilet! LOL! I know that sounds strange but the things has so many hard to reach crevices that drive me batty! thanks!

  88. i would steam anything and everything, starting with my stall shower. boy, can i use this steamer. thanks for the opportunity.

  98. The shower walls, and if I can’t find the machine, then my son will have it in the garage cleaning who knows what!

  100. Pretty much everything! But I’d start with my kitchen tile! My before picture is WAY worse than yours, I fear!

  106. I would totally tackle my bath and shower and then my stove and then probably my grill……there will be no end!

  110. My breezeway tile! It is awful, and nothing I have tried gets it clean without hours of scrubbing.

  111. I would clean the bathroom for sure, but everything else too! Do you think it would work as a clothing steamer?

  113. after seeing your success with it on your grout I would use it for that, but also would like to try it out on that, I also think it would be fun to see what it could do to some rust stains I have on my base board heater.

  118. I would clean EVERYTHING! my house is pre-1930 and it could use a good steam cleaning! my bathroom, basement, deck you name it! my stove & oven oh my gosh just everything

  124. It would have to be the bathroom. Moldy grout is my husband’s nemesis and pet peeve. In fact, he’d probably steal the HomeRight SteamMachine Power Steamer from me just to work on bathroom grout. Me, I’d love to steam clean the bathroom tile floors!

  130. I would steam clean my two son’s bathroom downstairs…which I am mortally afraid of entering for fear of being overcome with the billion germs that comes from being a boys bathroom!

  139. I’d use it on my shower,kitchen wall and stove top.This machine is pretty amazing.Thank you for the awesome giveaway! :)

  142. I would steam or tile floors in both of our bathrooms first thing.

  146. I’d do our bathroom grout and my stovetop! I’d love to not have to scrub that thing ever again!!

  149. I know we will use it to clean the outside grill plus we have a room with old wallpaper and would like to take that down in the near future.

  150. Bathtub and walls, we have iron in our water and stains it a redish color. Our neighbors use their steam cleaner for that and it works great!!! I want clean tubs and sinks too.

  159. We have a walk-in shower and it needs a good cleaner for the tile walls and also the glass sides, so this would sure be a big help.

  172. Oh there are so many things that this would clean! I’m not sure I could decide which to tackle first, kitchen or bathroom?

  176. Would definitely like to try it on our grill which I hate to clean! Also need something like this to clean the tile in our foyer – would it get up oil stains?

  179. My bathroom for sure but also some spots in the area in my basement where I foster cats

  197. This looks awesome & with 2 boys, 4 dogs, a cat , some turkeys & a chicken this would sure come in handy :)

  202. Everything!!! I would start on one side of the house and work my through to the other side!!

  203. The first thing that I would steam clean would definitely be my large L-Shaped couch! It needs it badly! :)

  205. I would clean our bathroom and kitchen floors. This would be awesome to help my sister to remove wallpaper in my grandmother’s old house.

  207. I would use it on my showers and floors. I’m sure my husband would find all kinds of uses for it..cleaning machinery and such.

  211. the first thing is the kitchen floor. It’s brick patterned and a mess to clean, hands and knees job.

  224. I would steam clean the kitchen counters and the carpet corners in my sons bedroom and playroom.

  231. My bathroom definitely. I’ve been able to keep up with nooks and crannies mostly everywhere else, except for the bathroom. The linoleum tiles, look like they’re getting dirty and a little bit is seeping out from the seams. And a regular steam mop doesn’t do any justice on trying to clean it. Bathroom tub too, it seems not to have a glaze, so the porousness of it traps dirt quicker, and it’s hard angles to scrub at.

  236. I’d start in the bathroom and go room by room to see how much I could clean with it. It would be a great help with spring cleaning!

  244. my kitchen floor, bathroom floor and the tiles in the bathroom… I can never get them clean enough, and scrubbing with an old toothbrush to get the yuck out takes forever!

  253. i would get my bathroom and kitchen shine! i have always wanted one of these-hope i win!
    thanks for the super steamy giveaway!

  255. I would clean my bathroom, kitchen and my slate floors.
    Thanks SO much for this giveaway!!!

  256. i would try it on the tile in my shower. i bought the house a few months ago and really needed to redo it but lack of funds wouldnt allow that

  261. Oh Gosh! This would help me out Immensely, My husband and I both Suffer from CRPS aka RSD. I have it in both of my hands. He has it in his foot\leg. Its a chronic pain disorder from your sympathetic nervous system. Us together can barely keep our floors and bathrooms clean. Plus we have a 14 yr old that loves to use cool stuff. Just maybe if I win this she will help clean. As a Mom of 14 yrs and a wife of 15 yrs, I know what a house should look like :-)
    Thank You

  262. Our kitchen floors! One toddler & one crawler means I’m always trying to keep the floors clean!

  277. This would be a real blessing to have here. Four children here multiple allergies husband with asthma. We have flooded so many times throughout the years from what Mother Nature has dished out.

  285. I would love to clean the grouting between our floor tiles, then every nook and cranny in our kitchen! Thanks so much for this chance!

  288. I’d be steam cleaning our basement floors where they got flooded and stinky with laundry water and water heater leak. We have kids mold allergies so I’d love to try this! Also, love to try it for wallpaper removal…got the outer layer of some UUUuggggly paper off our bathroom walls. three months ago and then hit a wall, literally.

  292. i would like to steam clean my garage and backyard —– Pauline aka Paol Trenny ….. emscout9 at Hotmail dot com

  300. I have been wanting to get a SteamMachine to cleanup greasy messes in my kitchen especially on my stove and tile floor.

  305. I’d do the grout in the bathroom and work on oven in difficult areas…heck, I’d be cleaning everything

  306. I would use it most to clean the bathrooms, but I’d love to try it out in the kitchen too!

  315. Wow amazing giveaway the question is what wouldn’t I use this for there has been so much sickness going around this year I would use this all the time and I have a small steam mop and I love it I would love to have one I could use anywhere.

  319. Wow could I use this! I just bought floor cleaner to scrub the floors on my hands and knees. I told hubby this machine we have for our tile and floors just does not get them clean enough.
