Is it good for grout and bathroom tile?

Yes. The brass and nylon brushes with the higher steam level work well on grout lines, tile and fixtures. Keep the brass brush off glossy or delicate surfaces.

How long does the tank last?

The 34 oz tank runs a good while on low steam and less on high. Expect to refill during larger jobs, and let the unit cool before opening the tank.

Does it work on upholstery and car seats?

Yes, with the wave brush and low steam. Test a hidden area first, since too much steam can over-wet fabric.

How does it compare with a larger canister steamer?

It heats faster and weighs far less, but larger steamers give longer run time, a longer hose and stronger output. It suits spot cleaning, not whole-room work.

What comes in the box?

The steam cleaner, a brass brush, a nylon round brush and a wave brush. Check the listing for any extension nozzles.

Do I need distilled water?

Distilled water is recommended to reduce mineral buildup in the heating element. Tap water works but may shorten the unit's life in hard-water areas.

Our take on the Costway 1500W Portable Steam Cleaner

The Costway 1500W Portable Steam Cleaner is a small corded canister unit that turns water into steam in about 15 seconds. It holds 34 oz and offers two steam levels, with a brass brush, a nylon round brush and a wave brush included for tile, grout, upholstery and hard-to-reach spots. At 5 lbs with an 8.1 ft cord, it is easy to carry between rooms but ties you to an outlet. Against larger cylinder steamers it trades run time and hose length for a low weight and quick heat-up; owners rate it highly for small jobs rather than whole-house cleaning.
