Default Steamer 19.99 @ Tuesday Morning!!!

Hey guys I wanted to let you know about my lates find. It is a hand held steamer for 19.99 @ Tuesday Morning.
It is the first cheap steamer that I have been impressed with. It puts out a continious amount of steam. Not just a brust when you press a button. The pic on the front of the box is accurate. I have used it on my rims and it did a great job. I can't wait to use it on an engine detail and bugs!!! Now here is the problem... I have no more in my area.... so you guys are going to need to help each other out. Here is the Tuesday Morning phone number 1-800-901-0881 then key in the item # 7597118 and your zip code. It will give you the phone # and address of the closest store. I checked a few of your zip codes and several of you should be set. Now... you know our Canadian friends are going to want some. Especially someone that buys in bulk So if you have a store that has several please post on this thread and help some other members out. I don't know the durability of this item, but I have my fingers crossed. If you are someone that wants one post here so someone can help you
Good Luck everyone! Please.... if you have a store near you help someone else out!!

Do NOT buy this thing! I bought it and everything was working great until the snap-in end tip melted the housing and now won't stay in place. If you did buy it, make sure you only use it about 10-15 minutes at a time. The piece that melted is part of the housing itself and not a 'replaceable' part. Ok that's the negative. Positives are all the attachments work really well and I guess for $20 it's not proced bad. I bought mine at Walmart when they were like $40 a couple of years ago.

I used mine for a while and had no issue. After I did my rims I took it inside and used it all over the house. I guess I did unplug it for a minute or two to move to different outlets throughout the house Maybe that gave it just enough time to cool down But thanks so much for the heads up.

yeah, I'm not trying to bash it, just be warned that it will happen after 5-10 30min uses. The thing worked great and i had no other issues,but it was a big single issue, ya know. I would say to let it cool after emptying each tank of water and don't apply pressure with the attachments, just float it over the surfaces because I think applying even light pressure will increase the chance of the plastic fatigue I experienced. You know how the end slides in and locks? Mine is still usable but has .5 inch of play in each direction. I hope mine was an isolated incident, but for $20 I may get another and just baby it, LOL

I'm going to a local store today in STL and will try picking one up for myself. Let me know if anyone else is interested as I'll buy more if they have more.
