Tools and Hardware Reviews of Wagner Power Products 282018 1-Gallon Wallpaper Steamer
Customer Review: Should be sold in every hardware store!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend and I decided to strip her walls of wallpaper so she purchased the Wagner wallpaper steamer. It worked great, but since only one of us could use it at a time, I purchased the Wagner 905 on-demand steamer to get the job done faster. This review is a side-by-side comparison of the two units.
The main difference is when you plug in the wallpaper steamer, it heats the water and steam rises naturally through the hose whereas the on-demand unit has an on/off switch, heats the water in a sealed container, building up pressure. The fill port is sealed by a serious, threaded bolt. Steam is released as desired by depressing a button at the end of the hose where various attachments can be clicked in. (It can be locked in an open position if desired). Note that a certain amount of water comes out with the steam with either unit and you'll need some towels handy whenever you're using it.
I would have thought steam rising naturally in the wallpaper unit would be useless and the on-demand unit would simply be better in all situations, but that is not the case. There are some advantages to the wallpaper steamer unit and if all you want to do is remove wallpaper, it's the better choice.
Wallpaper steamer:
The wallpaper attachment is very lightweight and puts the steam more directly and closer to the wall than the wallpaper attachment of the on-demand unit which directs the steam through small openings underneath the attachment. The result is the wallpaper unit is a little faster at removing wallpaper than the on-demand unit. It's also less noisy and less fatiguing since its wallpaper attachment is lighter than the on-demand attachment and doesn't have the additional steam-release button section which adds weight (not much, but if you don't have a lot of upper body strength, and you have lots of rooms to strip, every ounce counts). You can pull the attachment off and use the hose alone to target the narrow wall areas the flat attachment won't fit into (use gloves!). The water reservoir is somewhat translucent so you can judge when to refill and the port opening is big so refilling is easy.
On-demand unit:
Steam is under pressure and a multitude of attachments are included enabling one to target the steam appropriately for the job at hand. The wallpaper unit only comes with a wallpaper attachment. The on-demand unit comes with a little plastic cup and funnel essential for filling the water reservoir. It holds 3 cups maximum (as per the instructions) but the steam lasts quite a long time - certainly enough for handling things like steaming floors or cleaning sinks, etc. It is difficult to tell how much water is remaining in the unit if you don't run the steam out, though. And if you do run the steam out, it'll take some time (10 minutes?) to heat new water sufficiently. My friend and I kept water heating on the stove to shorten the downtime whenever we needed to refill our units. I didn't pay attention closely to how long each unit lasted before refill, but they seemed similar even though the wallpaper unit holds 1 gallon and the on-demand holds only 3 little cups. I think it was because the on-demand unit only dispenses steam when desired. To get the wallpaper unit to stop, you must pull the plug and wait a little bit.
I found the wallpaper attachment in the on-demand unit worked very well - but as I said above, the other unit was slightly better. The narrow, directed steam attachment worked better than just using the hose on the other unit since steam was coming out under pressure. Note that this pressure is quite noisy.
The floor attachment was OK, but I felt like I was just pushing wet dirt around and the cloth got dirty almost instantly. I found just using the directed steam attachment with a bunch of towels and sponges worked better - but it's too much effort to use for routine cleaning. Cleaning stainless steel sinks was fun and the faucet handles on my friend's faucets looked like they had been installed that day despite being over 25 years old. However, the water stains on my shower door did not come off, nor the water stains on the chrome part of the drain in my sink. So steam doesn't perform miracles. I used it to clean the barbecue and it was great. I didn't have to preheat the grill plates and with a little elbow grease, everything came out quite well.
All in all, I recommend both units and I don't understand why they aren't carried in hardware stores, Home Depot, Costco, etc. No matter which unit you choose, you'll probably need to use some elbow grease to get things perfectly clean. The wallpaper unit is much simpler, lighter, easier to fill, you can judge the water level and it does a slightly better job removing wallpaper. I don't know how useful all the attachments of the on-demand unit will prove or whether having steam under pressure is absolutely essential. The one big advantage of the on-demand unit is, well, you get steam "on-demand". That may tip the balance in favor of that unit depending on your needs.
