Thanks for the great comparison! Bought the NEAT 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it right away! I’m 66 with heart issues and I could carry and roll Cube with ease! Even used on indoor outdoor carpet and spot cleaning on stair carpet to soften stains to be worked later. Left debris floor brushing pad left on both floor and carpeting so I could easily see what I was vacuuming up after surfaces dried! Great combo result of steaming away bacteria plus squeaky clean results everywhere!
Hey great video! I own this model and I love mine. After owning it for a month I have found so much to clean...shoes, couches, mattresses, floors, etc. I love it!
I discovered a product called Ultra Guard; it is the designer's secret for protecting fabrics against stains. This is not your typical spray on that eventually wears off; this formula bonds with the fabric; once applied, it lasts for life, and even repels red wine. I had it sprayed on my white $1200 bathroom rug 10 years ago, and it still looks new. I even use it on my Chanel sneakers. Thank You for this video; I might have a new addiction, now. : )
Just ordered today on Amazon on sale for 149, plus there was a 20,00 off coupon from Amazon. Total 129. Can't beat that with a stick. Thank you for the review. It helped me decide .
Score, that's an incredible price!! I almost want to buy another one to gift someone. Like for a wedding. Or maybe to give away on our channel when we hit 50,000 subscribers. I wish we could give away 50 of them. We're so close and I want to say thank you to you and everyone for watching and for your comments.
Thank you!! This was so helpful. I appreciate your authenticity. I trust your review. I will purchase one and use your link to purchase to ensure you get credit. Thanks again!!!
I just ordered one sunshine. 🥰 Huge $ for budget but I just had to have this. I face some physical issues so this, I believe, will be an investment indeed. Thank you. 🌞
Ok I bought the neat. Am gonna trust you on this ! I have become a bit of a germaphobic person since pandemic 🤷♀️ and I have an autoimmune disease so I’ll let you know how this works for me. Tanks
My $135 Steamfast sg-275, has the lock button, real cloths you can attach to clean. lock button, and all of those attachments. I searched for the most affordable, but durable machine. I love your channel!!! Please keep making videos!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for the feedback! I've been steaming my house and clean it so that you can't really tell. I need to find a dirtier place to film. Grout works but it takes forever and it's hands and knees. I'm convinced you need to pretreat the grout first or there's an easier way than a steam cleaner for grout.
Charles Attoh the only thing that works well on grout is mixing hydrogen peroxide with baking soda . Keep the baking soda wet with HP and let it seat about 30”, then wipe it
@@ticalvin7543 I've done this, and it's my go to recipe for grout, it always comes out bright WHITE and cleans easier with less scrubbing in my opinion. Start with 1 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 - 1/2 cup of baking soda, and 1 Tbspn of dawn dish soap. That dawn dish soap makes it easier to loosen up.
Have a question as I’m a little confused by two different videos you’ve done. Why is it that you have to let bleach dilution spray and cannot wipe for 5 mins, where as the homemade disinfecting wipes are used to wipe immediately?
Cant decide if I should go for the Tosca. It looks much more durable but that is not my main concern because even if I had to replace the Neat the total cost would be less than A Tosca. The key question is does the Tosca do a better job. I am primarily looking to clean tiles and grout.
I'm deciding between the neat and the home model. Neat is $200 and the home is $300. Duprey said the main difference is that the neat has an aluminum boiler and the home is stainless steal. I've been researching steamers for months now and I know I want a duprey, I just don't know what model will be best. The neat has better attachments.
Good luck!! Let us know how it goes! There's a learning curve because you let the steam do most of the cleaning (no need to scrub a lot). Also, knowing when/how to use the attachments. You may want to use the triangle tool with a microfiber cloth attached with a rubber band around the end.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe LOL !!! I’m on a Roll 😂🤣 I’m going to have to work harder on the shower . We have Hard water and the biggest mistake we ever did was put natural slate in shower 🤦♀️ I did use the small wire tip and that works really well . I’m ADD and I’m bored with the shower LOL moving onto kitchen grout 👍 But I’m very pleased with this steamer . 2 friends told me about it . Great video! Very helpful thank you 😊
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I have a question when the light turns green that means it’s ready to go , is the green light supposed to be on while you use to ??? Mine turns to yellow orange right away .
You're welcome and I can see that you're addicted now to. I'm ADD and go from thing to thing too. Also, natural slate is tough, I cleaned someone's shower last month and that was enough to never want it in my house. Too much work!
I haven't ever had an issue. The steam is hot right at the tip but hits the air and cools down. I guess it's possible if you tried to clean windows that were icy cold, it could crack the glass. The advice I have is to not hold the steam on any one place for a long time.
Will the Tosca attachments work with the Neat model? If yes, then if my Neat floor cleaning head breaks like yours did, I might buy just the Tosca floor cleaning attachment.
Just the brushes are the same. I wish I could get the mop and triangle attachments from the Tosca that are more study and that have clamps so you can attach microfiber clothes. But that's probably part of why there's a huge price difference.
Doesn't get over 100 degrees so it's not even as hot as hot water from the faucet. So much for killing germs. I checked it with an infrared thermometer
We have bathroom renovations about to finish that has created a lot of dust. I want to use this to clean the floors and walls. Should I dust the walls first and then steam, or can I just directly steam? Beyond the dust, the walls are perfectly clean as they were just painted before we moved here in April. Thanks!
Happy Holidays 🎅🏿🎄🤶🏾 from Harrisburg Pennsylvania I have a Question 🙋🏾♂️ I bought a McCulloch MC1385 Deluxe Canister Steam Cleaner a few years ago & I Love 💗 cleaning with the machine I wanted to know if this Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner was Better than my McCulloch MC1385 Deluxe Canister Steam Cleaner ? What is your honest opinion ? ?
@@CleanFreakGermaphobeSo knowing what you know, would you buy the tosca over the Neat? I have a lot of floor grout to clean and just wondered if you would buy the Tosca or the Neat weighing quality and price. Love your videos!
I think I read somewhere that the accessories are interchangeable between the Neat & Toscanini? Can the larger brushes be purchased separately & used with the Neat?
In your video I believe you said that the Tosca and the neat accessories are inner changeable. I have the neat but I need some new accessories like the tube and floor tool and the grout tool. Does the Tosca accessories fit the neat? Ty for your video
To get the full disinfecting effect, within an inch or so. But it depends on the surface. If you put that much heat and pressure on some (like upholstery) it could burn or damage it.
My neat will only stay on green light about 5 minutes then turn yellow whice is not long enough to get done what I need to clean. Am I doing something wrong or is that normal . Thank you Rhonda
It goes yellow as you use it because it’s not at a steady temperature. When you use it the temp drops. Unless you see less steam and pressure it’s normal. If you let it sit it would go green again pretty quick. It’s like if you have a pan with the lid on it’s going to be hotter than if you crack the lid and the temperature will drop.
I really want this for my couches, to remove occasional pet accidents. Do you think it will remove the smells and does the steamer leave the couch super wet since there is no feature to extract the water? Thank you great video
It works ok on couches but it can burn/melt the material if you get too close. It depends on the fabric. Overall I'd say a carpet cleaner is better for that. Stream cleaners are best for solid surfaces like sinks, bathroom, kitchen (oven/stove/appliances), baseboards, heat registers, floors, etc. Thanks so much for watching and for this comment!
It can, just don't get it too close (use the bonnet) because it can burn or melt fibers in the carpet. I think a regular carpet cleaner is better though. It's best on non-porous surfaces. I've used it on couches and other things but always test an area first because it depends on the fabric.
The problem I’m having is it’s shooting out a lot of water no matter how long I discharge it. The tank is full, the light is green, and I’ve tried shaking the hose while depressing the button to try and eject the extra condensation but it still shoots out a lot of water continuously.
I only used the steamer. You could use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixture or a commercial grout spray. That said, I think toilet bowl cleaner works amazing. It’s just really harsh and has toxic fumes.
I am trying to shop for the Dupray steamer but it appears they no longer sell the one you have. I am now deciding between the Dupray One Plus and the Tosca. I know you own the Tosca and speak highly of it. Is there a huge difference to justify the huge price jump? Thanks in advance for your insight... I really appreciate your informative videos! Edit; if you think the Dupray Hill injection is worth the extra hike in price I would love to hear your thoughts!
They started only selling the Neat on Amazon. It actually dropped in price, too. Please use this link (helps support our channel) amzn.to/3pEdAsR I like the Tosca but it's overkill for regular cleaning. I don't use it that often. The mop, triangle and squeegee tool are a lot higher quality. It gets hotter. Same brushes. But would I buy it again, no. I'd get the Tosca.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe last sentence you mean neat? Thanks so much for your reply!! I will definitely support your channel with my purchase! Thanks again
Yes I mean I'd buy the Neat and not the Tosca. We don't really need both. I've never tested the Hill but I'm so curious about the injection feature. If you're doing heavy duty cleaning it would cut down on time to refill. But it's got to be heavier and larger, making it harder to carry. I keep mine in the basement, so I'm bringing it up stairs a lot. So it all depends on how long you plan to clean at once. For most jobs you don't need steam to last for hours. The first time, yes. I spent 6 hours cleaning. Had to refill several times. But now it's rarely more than an hour. Hope that helps, thanks for watching 😄
Yes, it can and it works great. Don't focus steam on an area too long. Just use the lance tool or the triangle tool with the bonnet or a microfiber cloth over the bristles (you can use a rubber band to secure it around the neck of the tool). I used another steam cleaner on cabinets in this video if you want to see th-cam.com/video/SDZXejD_Tis/w-d-xo.html After I did, the homeowner immediately bought a steam cleaner. She was so impressed with how great her kitchen and bathroom cabinets looked!
After my Dupray home died, Dupray offered a discount on the Neat instead of trying to fix the Home. Google suggested the Vapor Clean Desiderio. What do you think about this machine? It has a built in vacuum.
Was it past your warranty? I'd love to hear more about this. We don't have experience with the Vapor. Clean yet. It gets great reviews. If you get one we'd love to hear what you think.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe The Dupray Home is 4 years old, the warranty is 3 years, and the sad thing is, I used it maybe 15 times. I diagnosed the problem to be the solenoid that releases the steam. Anytime you pulled the trigger, it would trip the breaker. The part is $30! But Dupray won't, nor the company that makes the solenoid, sell just the part. So sad. The Desiderio is a fascinating machine. Streaming and vacuuming at the same time, seems like a great feature.
Dupray has some with suction but they're over $1k. www.cleanfreakandgermaphobe.com/Dupray to check them out. They're the professional line. Like the CARMEN SUPER INOX Steam Extractor.
It's far hotter than you need to kill viruses and clean without damaging surfaces. It's going to be hottest at the tip and gets less hot as you get further away.
You can order them on Dupray's website. Aee you saying you ordered the Neat and want Tosca attachments? Just the brush attachments are interchangable. So none of the tools like the triangle tool, mop, etc. So you already have the parts that are the same on both.
I've only had the Dupray brand so I can't compare but on my Tosca and steam mop, I've had good luck with 3rd party replacement pads. They're usually less expensive but just as good. amzn.to/3owh3Jk are some for the Neat (ad).
Why do these steam machine never come with a gauge to let you know when water is done another thing why are they small in size and not loads bigger if bigger than you can hold loads more water in tank better bigger than just 1 size me thinks
A water indicator would be great. I asked them why they're wasn't one but I can't remember the answer. If they made them bigger they'd be too heavy to carry. There's a steel boiler inside and when you add water it gets pretty heavy.
My steamer stopped boiling after 4 months of use. When I press the power button, it turns on green right away and not orange anymore. Has anyone else experienced this?
I plan to mostly use it to clean my hard floors. Is the attachment for that long enough so that you aren't bending over the whole time? I'm only 5'3 but have seen that as a complain on other steam cleaners with multiple functions. I was initially looking a floor-specific steam mop like the shark or bissel but they have so many reviews of them breaking within a year. I would rather pay a bit more and have a more useful product!
I'm almost 5 foot 8 inches and no I don't have to bend. I love my Neat! Lifetime warranty on the boiler. No one beats that. $40 until tomorrow night on Amazon if you have Prime. amzn.to/374eVmU
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Yes, it's currently in my cart! And I have some amazon points from a credit card so it would only be about 86 bucks in the end. It seems like a great investment...just doing all of my research first! Thank you for the video.
Nope. Yes a microfiber can clean but it doesn't have pressure. A steam cleaner will get things much cleaner. And there are things like great registers that I've tried so many things on and a steam cleaner works when nothing else would. Also grout doesn't just wipe off.
“The cord is five feet long, so you’re not going to have to plug in and plug it all over the house”. Huh??? With a five foot long cord...you WILL be inconvenienced to find outlets all day long. Extension cord is mandatory. The designers dropped the ball on this one, and should have included a long cord...20 feet will do most homes floors from an outlet in a central location.
I haven't because based on other steam cleaners we've tested, Also I'm afraid of them not fitting. One thing, you could try eBay. it's worth that much for Dupray brushes from what I can tell so far. I wish I could buy a 2 pack though.
Seems like these reviews always choose places and things unusably filthy so any steamer would produce results better then how it looked originally but what about normal households that don't have a bunch of filthy...how does the steamer work on everyday dirt not filth from abandoned or empty apartments.. That's the true test.
Is it safe to boil hot water in plastic? I heard that sometimes parts of plastic can come off and dissolve into the water when exposed to hot temperatures.
Microfiber is a bad choice to use and will shorten the life cycle of the number of uses. The material that is used to make microfiber is not heat resistant and would recommend cloth as the material of choice to use. Same reason we don't dry microfiber on high heat or wash them is hot water as they are instructed.
Imagine your friend is a germaphobe who is a medical professional and you’re a clean freak. And after a year of working together you discover that they’re very different. And the terms are relative. What bothers one person may not bother another…

That dawn dish soap makes it easier to loosen up.

Do you still have to use white vinegar every 20 hours after it is operated, even if you always use distilled water?
I just empty the water after every use. I think you could stretch it out because distilled water has less minerals in it.

What’s the handheld steamer you guys bought?

Why can’t you buy the less expensive steamer and then buy the better made attachments? The hose diameter is probably the same
The brush attachments are the same but the rest are not compatible. They're smaller, more basic and not as good of quality.
The problem I’m having is it’s shooting out a lot of water no matter how long I discharge it. The tank is full, the light is green, and I’ve tried shaking the hose while depressing the button to try and eject the extra condensation but it still shoots out a lot of water continuously.
Contact Dupray because it sounds like it's defective.

I used another steam cleaner on cabinets in this video if you want to see th-cam.com/video/SDZXejD_Tis/w-d-xo.html After I did, the homeowner immediately bought a steam cleaner. She was so impressed with how great her kitchen and bathroom cabinets looked!
I want to clean my a/c air duct with it, will it work
Yes
After my Dupray home died, Dupray offered a discount on the Neat instead of trying to fix the Home.
Google suggested the Vapor Clean Desiderio. What do you think about this machine? It has a built in vacuum.
Was it past your warranty? I'd love to hear more about this. We don't have experience with the Vapor. Clean yet. It gets great reviews. If you get one we'd love to hear what you think.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe The Dupray Home is 4 years old, the warranty is 3 years, and the sad thing is, I used it maybe 15 times. I diagnosed the problem to be the solenoid that releases the steam. Anytime you pulled the trigger, it would trip the breaker. The part is $30! But Dupray won't, nor the company that makes the solenoid, sell just the part. So sad.
The Desiderio is a fascinating machine. Streaming and vacuuming at the same time, seems like a great feature.
Is there a steamer with a suction part?
Dupray has some with suction but they're over $1k. www.cleanfreakandgermaphobe.com/Dupray to check them out. They're the professional line. Like the CARMEN SUPER INOX Steam Extractor.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe thank you.
I anti bac all my shopping with anti bac spray to clean any covid 19 off it. Would steam with this be more effective ?
Covid 19 is caused by a virus. Anti bac does not help with a virus. Steam will definitely help in disinfecting. But mainly, wash hands and use mask.
Have to put cloth over?
No you don't have to. It just prevents scratches and absorbs some of the water.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe thanks
can you regolate the steam output?
Can you use on carpets?
We haven't tested it on carpet - but overall it's best for other surfaces. You can burn the fibers - so don't get the wand too close.
Just buy dupray steam machine getting tomorrow hope it lives up to its claims tho
Hope you love it as much as we do!
If you can test the real steam temperature.. It will be help too
It's far hotter than you need to kill viruses and clean without damaging surfaces. It's going to be hottest at the tip and gets less hot as you get further away.
Where can I find the attachments for the Tosca? I just ordered the dupray and want tougher attachments lol
You can order them on Dupray's website.
Aee you saying you ordered the Neat and want Tosca attachments? Just the brush attachments are interchangable. So none of the tools like the triangle tool, mop, etc.
So you already have the parts that are the same on both.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe thank you
do you recommend and specific pads for the Neat?
I've only had the Dupray brand so I can't compare but on my Tosca and steam mop, I've had good luck with 3rd party replacement pads. They're usually less expensive but just as good. amzn.to/3owh3Jk are some for the Neat (ad).
How do you clean it out?
You just dump the water out the top. You can follow Dupray's instructions to descale it.
Why do these steam machine never come with a gauge to let you know when water is done another thing why are they small in size and not loads bigger if bigger than you can hold loads more water in tank better bigger than just 1 size me thinks
A water indicator would be great. I asked them why they're wasn't one but I can't remember the answer.
If they made them bigger they'd be too heavy to carry. There's a steel boiler inside and when you add water it gets pretty heavy.
Even the pressure gage will help....when it is Getting low... Or steam is Getting low... Which the water is Getting out
My steamer stopped boiling after 4 months of use. When I press the power button, it turns on green right away and not orange anymore. Has anyone else experienced this?
Wait was it a Dupray? If so it's under warranty. Contact the company. This isn't normal.
I plan to mostly use it to clean my hard floors. Is the attachment for that long enough so that you aren't bending over the whole time? I'm only 5'3 but have seen that as a complain on other steam cleaners with multiple functions. I was initially looking a floor-specific steam mop like the shark or bissel but they have so many reviews of them breaking within a year. I would rather pay a bit more and have a more useful product!
I'm almost 5 foot 8 inches and no I don't have to bend. I love my Neat! Lifetime warranty on the boiler. No one beats that.
$40 until tomorrow night on Amazon if you have Prime. amzn.to/374eVmU
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Yes, it's currently in my cart! And I have some amazon points from a credit card so it would only be about 86 bucks in the end. It seems like a great investment...just doing all of my research first! Thank you for the video.
I'll bet a damp microfiber towel and just wiping would do the same thing.
Nope. Yes a microfiber can clean but it doesn't have pressure. A steam cleaner will get things much cleaner. And there are things like great registers that I've tried so many things on and a steam cleaner works when nothing else would. Also grout doesn't just wipe off.
Will this get feces off my mattress ? Thanks
I wouldn't recommend it but haven't tried a steam cleaner for poop stains. Here's a video of how
th-cam.com/video/mL7bEZkFN1E/w-d-xo.html
I just ordered one... But you can't compare the Neat to the Tosca, There's a $1000.00 price difference.. .
It's true. But people want to know if it's worth it to pay more for the Tosca. We were asked several times which is why we made this video.
“The cord is five feet long, so you’re not going to have to plug in and plug it all over the house”. Huh??? With a five foot long cord...you WILL be inconvenienced to find outlets all day long. Extension cord is mandatory. The designers dropped the ball on this one, and should have included a long cord...20 feet will do most homes floors from an outlet in a central location.
Extra-long power cord: 16’/ 5 m with integrated cord wrap....not sure why she said 5 ft
That was a mistake, thanks for the catch!
Have you found a cheaper place to buy replacement brushes? 10 for $30 is a bit steep
I haven't because based on other steam cleaners we've tested, Also I'm afraid of them not fitting. One thing, you could try eBay.
it's worth that much for Dupray brushes from what I can tell so far. I wish I could buy a 2 pack though.
Seems like these reviews always choose places and things unusably filthy so any steamer would produce results better then how it looked originally but what about normal households that don't have a bunch of filthy...how does the steamer work on everyday dirt not filth from abandoned or empty apartments.. That's the true test.
Is it safe to boil hot water in plastic? I heard that sometimes parts of plastic can come off and dissolve into the water when exposed to hot temperatures.
The boiler inside is made of steel
For a split second I read germanophobe...
Ha! My grandpa came from Germany so not a germanophobe!
Made me laugh!
so do this
Microfiber is a bad choice to use and will shorten the life cycle of the number of uses. The material that is used to make microfiber is not heat resistant and would recommend cloth as the material of choice to use. Same reason we don't dry microfiber on high heat or wash them is hot water as they are instructed.
Imagine calling yourself a germaphobe, and your steaming your sink with your toothbrushes still on the sink.🤢🤮
Imagine your friend is a germaphobe who is a medical professional and you’re a clean freak. And after a year of working together you discover that they’re very different. And the terms are relative. What bothers one person may not bother another…
Plz let ppl know NOT do inject any type of disinfection product to their body even if Precident trump suggested it then sed it was sarcasm.
