The Bissell 2685A Power Steamer is a heavy-duty 3-in-1 tool designed for both indoor and outdoor cleaning tasks. It functions as an upright steam mop, an extended reach steamer, and a handheld unit. The chassis is constructed from high-impact polypropylene with an anodized aluminum extension wand, making it suitable for environments like garages, workshops, and patios.
The flash-heating technology is engineered to reach operational temperatures quickly, allowing for efficient cleaning of car interiors, boats, and outdoor furniture. The unit includes a wall mount for organized storage, which is particularly helpful in a workshop or utility room setting. The pressure-fit tool interface allows for quick swaps between the various brushes and nozzles provided in the kit.
While the unit is built for tougher environments, its internal components still benefit from distilled water to prevent mineral scale. The non-removable water tank should be drained before long-term storage to maintain the system's hygiene. The reinforced PVC hose is designed for flexibility, though storing it without tight kinks will help maintain a consistent steam flow over time.
For a lighter model more focused on delicate indoor flooring like hardwood and laminate, the BLACK+DECKER HSM13E1 is a great alternative.
