Haan SI-35 Floor Steamer vs. Haan SI-35R - what's the difference? Is the only difference between the Haan SI-35 Floor Steamer and Haan SI-35R that the latter is red?

Just ordered the SI-35R myself! It came today with the pads (2), the resting tray, and the carpet tray. It is so awesome! The feel of a swiffer without the residue on my floors. Also, it has a hook at the top to hang in a closet when cool. I actually purchased four extra pad because I heard they got saturated quickly. I used one pad on two bathrooms (even cleaning toilet tops and tubs) it was fine. You will not be dissapointed. (Yes, the only difference is the color. The "R" afterwards indicates color.)

A steam mop will get out sticky/ stuck-on dirt much better (note: I have a Haan steam mop, not a Shark). You've got the heat of the steam helping you. However, I found a steam mop to be labor-intensive for just a basic cleaning. You have to fill the water tank, wait for it to heat up, and then the drag across the floor made for a lot harder work. The e-cloth mop does not let you press hard to get out stuck-on stuff. What I do is pour a little vinegar on stuck-on dirt and sometimes this will allow it to come up with the e-cloth mop, otherwise I scrub those spots by hand.

I wound up returning the HAAN SI-75 and purchasing a Sienna Vibe. The HAAN was very flimsy and wasn't worth the price - didn't clean well. My experience with steam mops and grout is that you can't count on the action of steam mopping to clean the grout lines. However, if you have a grout attachment for your mop, and a good cleaning solution to spray onto the grout before cleaning, steam does help release the dirt.

I have the VRT 330 and it takes up very little counter space. The 350, I believe, is configured differently and takes up more horizontal counter space. I prefer the 330 for ease of cleaning, also. I believe they have the same power and the end results in the juice is basically the same, so I think is boils down to appearance. Anyone else have a different experience? Sorry, I am way off base on this answer. The 350 is simply a heavier duty model of the 330, but the same configuration -- standing upright. I have the 330 and it works just fine for me. The 350 has a heavier duty auger, but appears to be the same otherwise, for size and HP. Sorry for the confusion in my previous answer. I guess I should have done my homework first!

Our unit is the RHD800 and have been very happy with its operation. In reading the info on HDR565 appears the only difference, other than color, is the lack of bun warmer. If funds are an object I would go with the 565. The bun warmer on the 800 is ok but no great thing. Also, I have seen prices from $21 to $75 for both these units. Amazon has best price. We have been happy with how dogs are cooked. Keep in mind when the info says 8 dogs at a time, they mean 8 regular not longs. Hope this was helpful.

I don't know what the difference is but I like Joyce Chen's tier steamer because I can steam 2 different vegetables at a time.

I just used my new F7411-900 on my couch and rugs and have to tell you guys that the SteamVac did a really nice job. We could see the difference by comparing it to the yet to be cleaned loveseat. I wouldn't call it a SteamVac but more like a HotWaterVac since you add the hot water but the vacuum doesn't heat it to steam temperature and the water cools while you use it. Don't get the hard floor attachment. I have to return mine because it isn't long enough for the front of the WidePath.

I do not know what the difference is. The one I bought was a waste of money! I bought it to be used in our second home should we have more guests than beds, but it did not work, your body sinks down to the carpeted floor. I was very disappointed for I something similar at this home and it works wonderfully!

I love my Haan I use it for professional cleaning works wonderful when I did the research I saw it is one of the only steam mops that actually disinfects the floor which is a huge selling point for me. I don't know about black and decker but I strongly recommend a Haan

As far as I know, there is no floor wand available with the portable steamer. However, if you get this and then buy a floor steamer too, you can pretty much take care of everything in your home. Well worth the small investment for both. I have both and it has made cleaning much easier and more sanitary.

No, the SS-20 does not come with a wand attachment. The HAAN SI-70, SI-75 and BS-20 are a two-in-one steam cleaners that can be used as a floor steamer as well as a handheld steamer to clean above the floor.

Having to own both a new and rebuilt unit everything is included in the kit. One hose has a connection for the rug attachment the other is for just vacuum. I still own the new one that I bought several years and it is still going strong. The rebuilt one was purchased for a friend and before giving it to her the package was checked and all was there to operate the unit. You should be satisfied with this rainbow. Make sure that the water you add to the lower canister is just below the center pole or your unit will get water in the unit.

We had a 2007 Helsio when we lived in Japan and loved it. I do not know which model number. When we moved to the US, we bought this version to replace our Japanese one. It's cooking menu is obviously more western food centric. I prefer it to our built in thermador oven. I hope this helps. And if you really what the specifics, I would call Sharp. Hopefully they will know the differences between the models.

Annie, Sistema products come in different colors for a reason. The red containers are for both cooking in the mw and reheating in the mw. The white containers (with blue trim) are for storage and "reheating-with-caution." Notice that the red containers have a vent which needs to be open when cooking/reheating. The white/blue containers do not have a vent. Personally, I use only the red for cooking from scratch. I learned a lot from visiting the sistema website (www.sistemaplastics.com). I also learned from reading the Amazon customer Q&A about Sistema products BTW, sometimes I use just the red outside container without the "steaming" part. Usually I do not season the water when steaming except for salt/pepper. Why waste herbs & spices? Yesterday I steamed broccoli, removed the water & steamer & returned the broccoli to the red steamer. Then I sauted the cooked broccoli in my mw with fresh garlic and brown butter. I have not cooked eggs or meat or corn-on-the-cob in my mw. I've been using Sistema products for close to a year, and am a walking advertisement for Sistema products. There is a longer learning curve when mw cooking, so be prepared for some trial and error - especially with timing.

I used about 1 T of vinegar with the water. You need to read my review before making a purchase. I have had one defective SI-70 and two defective BS-20's and have been waiting weeks for my fourth replacement. Think long and hard before making this purchase. I've purchased a new brand which I feel isn't built as nice as the Haan but it heats much hotter and it works!!! Hope this helps.

I emailed DeLonghi customer service about this very issue, and the response was as follows: ------------ Dear Valued Customer Thank you for contacting Delonghi Customer Service. The differences between the two models are as follows: EC155 * Adjustable steam emmision * color-Black and Stainless BAR32 * color- Black and Silver Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance Sincerely Delonghi Customer Service ------------ It appears there's a cup space difference and possibly some other minor differences, but the DeLonghi rep suggested the only notable difference was adjustable steam emission. Personally, I like the look of the BAR32 more, but I might go with the EC155 anyway for the adjustable steam.
