Subj: Steamy in Texas! 
From: reggae@

As a former "Lady Bug" owner and steam clean advocate. Let me tell you how pleased I am with the Pro6. Right out of the box I could tell 
that the attachments are heavier duty. Being familiar with steam cleaning it took me just seconds to get started. I filled the machine 
plugged it in and turned it on. I was really surprised when the ready light came on so quickly. I really thought I had misread the ready 
light. I would still be waiting for the Lady Bug to heat up. Not believing it was ready, I flipped the switch on the handle and 
volumes of steam came out! The Pro6 definitely produces more steam than the Lady Bug. While cleaning I noticed the hand grip was more 
comfortable and the steam switch was a true on/off switch not requiring constant pressure like on the Lady Bug. The caster were 
smoother on the Pro6 gliding from tile to carpet with less effort The longer hose and electrical cord made it even better. I was able to 
clean my kitchen and adjoining hallway without moving to another outlet. I was so busy cleaning that I didn't realize I had gone past 
my normal cleaning area set by the cord length of the Lady Bug.

You may be wondering why I bought another steam cleaner? Currently my Lady Bug is not working. And the problem is a simply one that has not been corrected by the manufacture. The electronic circuit board keeps if not properly tighten can condense on the circuitry. It's not a hazard or anything like that but it does cost 142.00 plus shipping 
(one-way) and down time to have it fixed. I know I have had 3 of them replaced. You figure 3 boards and shipping it is not that far off 
from the price of the Pro6. I hated to scrap the Lady Bug but I knew until the manufacture coated the circuit board with a waterproofing 
It would be a constant problem and expense. When I called your company the first thing I asked was if the circuit board was 
protected from steam. If it were not, I would had gone to another manufacture. The nice lady on the phone said it was coated so I 
placed my order. I figured that if they, the engineers of the Pro6 knew enough to waterproof the circuit-board than they had probably 
thought-out many other features of the machine. Many of the most important things are on the inside that the consumer will never see. 
Thats what makes a great machine. It's very obvious to me that the  Pro6 is far superior to the Lady Bug. One more example... The hose 
connector on the Lady Bug is capable of leaking steam that could damage or short the electrical connections where the hose plugs into 
the machine. In the Pro6 the steam and electrical connections are compartmentalized eliminating this possible failure point.

I could go on and on... But in a nut shell the Pro6 is twice the 
machine of a Lady Bug and half the cost. Now I know I have been 
slamming the Lady Bug pretty hard but on the positive side it was a 
steam cleaner, and that is the best way to clean. My first steam 
cleaner was a $200 a clean-n-wait-n-fill-n-wait etc... So from my 
humble beginnings till today I feel like I have reached to top! One 
more... There is a place on the Pro6 to roll the lengthy electrical 
cord! Thank you! Thank You!

Hello. I'm more than satisfied with my Pro6 Vapor Steam Cleaner. 
I've happily shed all the liquid and powder cleaners I used in the 
past. My place is cleaner than it's ever been and I actually enjoy 
keeping it that way: The process of cleaning with steam is especially gratifying. No need to get on your knees and scrub, no fumes, just the hum and moderate din of the machine heating up and exhaling a pleasant cloud of dry steam. I was pleasantly surprised to have a clean 
kitchen floor that was instantly dry - No waiting - No scurrying across 
the room in wet socks! My steam-cleaned home is reminiscent of 
my grandmother's house where she used piping hot water to scrub the 
floors, not caring to pollute the environment with unnecessary amounts of detergent, etc. The machine has more than met my expectations, allowing me to wash walls to a shine, saving me the time and cost of painting for now. There are several cleaning jobs which I'd avoided because I knew they called for using heavy duty cleaners like 'Easy Off' which make me gag. These tasks are utterly doable with the TR Pro5. My allergies have abated. My house feels like a home. Customer service took good care of me, answering my questions with informed answers based on actual experience with the product, a rarity in these days of automated operators and cubicles of untrained and underpaid telemarketers. I'm supremely satisfied with my 'TR 5' and would give 
you seven stars if I could! The one thing I should note is that people who get blisters from mop handles might want to use rubber gloves when 
working with the TR Pro5 - It's very solidly built and therefore slightly 
heavy.
Thanks for your interest.
Best, Eve H

 I waited a while to respond, until I had time to fully use the product. I have tried it on many, many items in /out and around my house. It has been great! No one should think that this is a "snap-your-finger", instant miracle. But DARN close. I have used it to clean windows, stoves, fridges. Walls, floors, chairs and computers. I like how it is not chemicals that clean, but super-heated steam, with power! I was not expecting all of this from so reasonable a cost unit. You are correct! I researched cleaning, and all sort of steam cleaners, for 5 months until I was ready to buy. I would make the same decision today! Thank you for importing a great product, and please keep all of us informed on tips and
tricks of this great cleaner!
Thank you again!

Vapor Clean Pro6 Date:6/19/2006 10:08:01 PM

This is in response for feedback from Pro6 owners.  I am very happy with my Pro6 because of its ease of operation, superior cleaning ability, and quality workmanship.  It can really clean tile grout back to a like-new condition.

Thanks again.Wayne Lewis

to the folks at vapor clean;
                                   over all i rate the Pro6 quite
highly.  i use it in lite commercial duty cleaning restrooms and certain
types of floors. using distilled water and steam pressure can't be beat for
getting rid of odors and stubborn stains.  even the tuffest stains go away
with a little degreaser, soak a bit, steam them off.

sincerely;
Dennis

I have one of your Vapor Clean Pro6 - most dynamite machines ever.

Hi Kathy,

This is just another testimonial to the Pro6. I love it. Again, I had to clean a filthy bathroom, kitchen floor, neglected stove. It just makes the work so much easier. All I have to do is use a large sponge to mop up. Awesome! Someday I will send you pictures:) This machine amazes me! I still own the Saeco Supervapore 4500, not a bad machine, but pale in comparison to how fast dirt, rust, stains, mold, are blown away by the Pro6. God! This machine was meant for an older "hermit" like me, that doesn't clean like I should! The fact the the brushes are available for a cheap price really make it a worthy investment. (I couldn't even get a reply from Saeco on refurnishing the brushes, as we know they are the forefront of these great steam machines.)

I like to use steam distilled water as it heats up faster and there is less scaling to clean.

Subj: Thrilled to bits with my new Pro6! 
Date: 2/18/2005 12:57:08 PM Eastern Standard Time

Dear Kathy,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write, but I wanted to give my new Pro6 a good 'workout' so I could let you know how I like it. As you know, I had been using vapor cleaners for many years to clean my home back in England, and the Pro6 is the second vapor cleaner I have bought since my move to the USA. The first vapor cleaner was a commercial quality cleaner, which worked OK, but was very heavy and bulky and did not have a continuous fill feature- this is the reason that I decided to buy myself a newer model, and chose
the Pro6 with your help.
I am thrilled with it! It is so much easier to move around than my old
model, and it actually cleans better! We have 2 messy kids and 2 Great Danes (with muddy paws). Combine that with very pale grey carpets and you can imagine the problem I have keeping my carpets clean. I used to shampoo the family room carpet at least once a week - but that meant keeping the dogs out all day, and the family off the carpet, until it had dried. The carpet looked clean for the first couple of days, but then brown stains would re-appear wherever it had gotten the most wet during shampooing. I am
now using the Pro6 to clean the carpets, and it is doing a great job - plus there are no more brown stains and the dogs/family can tread on the carpet straight after I've cleaned. My old vapor cleaner was useless for carpets, it kept losing pressure and just didn't 'clean' them - but the Pro6 does the job great! I 'pre-blast' any really grubby bits/stains with the nozzle first, and only occasionally have to use a spray cleaner. The Pro6 is even getting out the paint/glue/goodness-knows-what that my 9-year old has
managed to spread over her bedroom carpet! There is also the added comfort that my carpets have been sanitized too. I am also using it for the bathrooms, kitchen, oven, walls, hardwood floors, windows, mirrors, light fittings.....anything and everything!
I am so glad I went for a continous fill machine - the cap just lifts off
(no wrist-breaking trying to get the safety cap unscrewed, like on my old machine), and the opening is nice and wide, so it's much easier to pour water in without spilling it. I can add water whenever I want without having to wait until the steam runs out - a big bonus, because I can clean downstairs, then refill before I go upstairs to clean. The Pro6 holds pressure MUCH better than my old machine, and heats up a lot quicker too (ready to go in about 5 minutes, from cold, compared to 15 minutes with my old one - and once it's initially heated up, it's ready to use instantly whenever you refill). The clips to attach towels are easier to use than on my old machine too - I was previously having to mess around with baggie clips and clothes pegs to try and get the towels to stay on my old vapor
cleaner.
So - as an 'experienced' vapor cleaner user - I can heartily recommend the
Pro6!
Best wishes,
Lynda Coles (Colorado USA).
P.S. Please feel free to use this letter on your website :)

Hey Vapor Cleaners:

Here's my feedback on the Pro6 steam cleaner  that I purchased a few months ago, Christmas 2003 I believe.

* Good sturdy unit
* Intuitive to setup and get running
* Puts out good steam
* Attachments work well together and connect together smartly
* Brushes have a clever design which allows user to attach any type of rag for cleaning

* Warranty the best in the business for this type of model 
* I like how the product is designed but it is made in Italy.  However, I am very glad it did not come from China (I have issues with how their workers are paid and treated). 

* Started using distilled water only because I think it will make the unit last longer and require less cleaning.

* Unit is used weekly for about 4 hours to clean kitchen, bathroom, basement stairs and anything that has a safe surface. It will remove the finish from a no wax floor but mine was shot to begin within. 
* One of the unique uses I am using it for cleaning is I have an oriental area run that had got wood stain spilled all over it. Though its a lengthy process, the steamer is heating the petroleum based stain and allowing it to be removed without ruining an otherwise good rug. It hasn't taken all of the stain but it is removing the chemical smell.
* I've noticed that cleaning times are becoming less and less probably because there is no sticky residue left by cleaning products. Most of my cleaners have been located to the basement as I no longer use the ammonias, bleaches, etc. 

* I would recommend the unit. The pre sales support was good and I felt upfront and honest. I am sick and tired of unscrupulous people. Kathy I think was her name gave me the low down and her opinions and I bought a unit. I haven't been displeased in any way. Hey Walmart and Home Depot are you listening? So, in a nutshell the machine has: 
* Met expectations and delivered as I expected
* Customer service (pre-sales) on the level
* Satisfaction, excellent

Hi Kathy,
I have a Saeco Supervapore 4500 unit that has a large boiler capacity and reservoire and takes approximately 20 minutes to heat up. Once heated it operates similar to the Pro6 with steam pressure dropping as you use it, then when it is idle (like when sponging or mopping up the debris) it builds pressure again for reuse.
 I am kind of new to steam cleaning despite the use of the Saeco unit, btw, I don't think they are in the steam cleaner business anymore. Can't find a web link to order detail brushes. Which is why I bought your unit.
I don't regularly clean as I should so when I do, it is very demanding. I would share pics, but would be quite ashamed as how I let things get. Anyway, the Pro6 out performed the supervapore 4500 (even though it's not a bad machine) the results and time differences were quite astounding. Like I said, I am embarrassed, if you could see the before and after pics it would blow your mind.
 I love the machine and ease of how the parts just slip in and lock.
