- How long does it take to heat up?
- About 40 seconds from cold, which is quicker than most canister steamers. Refills with the Easy Fix system are also fast.
- Can I use it on hardwood floors?
- Only on sealed, finished hardwood and with a light touch. Avoid unsealed wood, as steam can warp it.
- How long does one tank last?
- The 1-liter boiler covers roughly 800 square feet of light cleaning. Heavy grout work uses steam faster, so expect more refills.
- What comes in the box?
- The unit, a floor nozzle with microfiber pads, a detail nozzle and a round brush. Extra pads and brushes are sold separately.
- Is it better than the SC 2 or SC 4?
- The SC 3 sits between them: more pressure and a longer cord than the SC 2, but a smaller boiler than the SC 4. Choose it for apartments and mixed surfaces.
- Does it need distilled water?
- Kärcher recommends distilled water in hard-water areas to limit scale. Tap water works but shortens the descaling interval.
