After 2 weeks of comparing units I am down to this Haan or Black &amp;Decker 1850sm any feedback
842122
I can only respond that the Haan is fantastic. I previously owned a Haan for years and it stopped working so I replaced it with the Haan SI-70 and I LOVE it. It steams quick and gets my tile floor clean, my hardwoods shiny and I have used it on my chair and couch and carpets and it gets them clean and odorless, with 2 kids and dog and a cat I would consider that impressive! I haven't used the attachment for the grout yet, but I am excited to. Hope that helps.

150 rpms, unless you apply pressure than about 100. It's pretty terrible in all respects, stay away. I'd check out black n decker instead

generally it is a good buy but as with all black and decker products it is a little hit and miss if you are doing things around the house and need an occasional accessory to do something this is fine but if you are in an industrial environment where you are using it a lot go with something that's more heavy duty and built specifically for what you are doing hope that answers your questions thanks

I would stay away from this brand. I bought one and used it for a job less then one year and the motor broke. I took the motor off and sent it to the manufacture. They would not replace it and said it was my fault it broke???? I read the manual and did everything per there specs. We had troubles with the compressor keeping up with two finish nail guns at a time. The 18 gauge guns! We would have to wait to shoot nails. I bought a makita from home depot and the thing is great and cheaper. The makita that i bought is also just as quite and it has storage for the air blower and spair parts. Do not buy this one.

I had a Shark unit before the Haan and I gave it away pre-maturely because I no longer had wood floors. Now I have them again so I wanted to buy a better unit. The consumer buying guide rated this one at the top. So, I got it. It works well but it seems like the cheaper Shark produced more steam. I still like this one better because it heats up very fast and for the money you get a handheld that you can use in smaller places (ie. counter tops etc.). I'm happy. It's definitely better constructed than the Shark. Good luck.

To be honest, I would never us B&D; for heady duty jobs. They're pretty much the bottom of the line as far as quality and reliability. Look for Dewalt, Ryobi(that's what I use) or Skil. Home Depot usually has one of them on sale. hope this helps. Charlie

I hate to say this, but just throw it away. I have been using the cheap Black & Decker and it makes great coffee - they only last a year but for $20 they are worth every penny. I truly hate Cuisinart products and will never buy them. Such a great Company at one time. Now garbage products.

Opted for B&D; Alligator because I wanted batter operated. I have been pleased with performance. It is not meant to replace a chain saw. I have used on small trees and branches.

I know I'm late.DEWALT brushless motor delivers up to 57% more run time over brushed.XR Li-Ion batteries with fuel gauge provide 33% more capacity over standard packs

I can't answer that as it is not one of the models listed here. If you check with Black and Decker directly, they should be able to better answer. I'm sorry!

I bougt this drill for my daughter. I went to Home Depot and spent two hours going over the various brands and packages available. For the torque vs price vs handle designed for a woman, the Black and Decker was the clear choice. Most of he professional quality tools have larger diameter handgrips. The Black and Decker is well balanced and has a small enough handle for a woman's hand. Some of the drills are llighter but because of the balance, they feel heavier. I have caution regarding the longeviity of the Black and Decker brand but I imagine that my daughter will only use the tool occaisionally. I'm hoping it will last her a lifetime.

Go with the Craftsman if you can afford it. Craftsman is always a better option.

I have found the B&S; 7K Watt very reliable, easy start and has trickle battery charger to ensure battery is fully charged. As to the whole house, I take the 220V and distribute it through the circuit breaker panel to 110V to run two refrigerators, one freezer, kitchen lights to include gas stove, other house lights, 12K BTU window a/c and a T.V. As to this load, the B&S; generator has no problem whatever. I have not had the need as of yet to run 220V electric water heater. As to the other comments, agree that the generator would not be able to handle the whole house to include central air, etc. For the price, it is excellent!

Not sure, but I have switched to Black & Decker Digital Advantage. In my opinion as a frequent ironer, it is better value for the money, hands down!!! Beth

Youd be better off goin with a walmart ($70.00 marine bat), has quick charge capabilities, also even faster discharge capability. Coffee makers and grills, require high discharge draw. Also, if your only using the inverter once or twice a day, the one marine bat may be sufficient, for small one time uses per day.The 35ah bat is small (round size of lawnmower bat), I do not recommend for your application, however, they would be good for, "more of a long term, gradual recharge", type of power source such as, gate openers(used 1-3 times daily), low voltage outdoor lighting, or simple nitelights around the house.

I do apartment maintenance and the one i have had for a year is been through the mill and is just fine. I bought mine after seeing a co-worker whom had his for a couple years and is in fine shape even tho he does his best to destroy all his equipment. I looked at the husky but it was not confiqure as well as the BBX for what iwanted to put in it. The Husky price looks attractive. I would just decide what use and how often it will be used and go from there.
