Dupray Tosca Steam Cleaner: A commercial-grade steamer made in Italy, perfect for both professional and home cleaning needs, offering powerful performance and reliability.

I was a little disappointed at first. I expected the steam vapor to all but take the paint off of my baked-on, caked-on grill. And I thought...this thing is not up for it. Then I had a reality check with a bottle of 409 and a scrubber. NOTHING was up for that train wreck of a neglected grill. So that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship...forgiveness. I'm sorry little steamer...not your fault at all.Let's start with what it CAN do, which is everything.I bought this steamer to sanitize my boat cushions since I found rodent leavings. The cushions are synthetic-ish cloth and they looked brand new when I was done. They also had no smell at all. This thing blows steam vapor, so they were not wet. They were moist at first and then dry in under 5 minutes. Amazing.So I took it down to the boat. I have a 33 foot express cabin. Any boat owner knows, that at some point, the cabin and bilge have mildew growth and get moldy. I have battled mildew and mold since I bought her using killers, stain removers, scrubbing, white vinegar...blah blah blah. Steam. Steam is the answer. It MELTED the stubborn mildew stains out of the cabin linings, padding, etc. And...steam kills it so it won't grow back. My boat looks brand new and it is 12 years old.My next step is to steam the bilge and try it on limescale in the bathroom. I will update afterward.Other things you need to know.It comes with great, useful accessories. Its fun to figure out what to do with them. The squeegee tool is really cool.It is relatively safe. It is pretty hard to burn yourself with it. I did, but I was actually trying to see what it would take. I dunno, I'm weird like that. I mean...I wanted to give the best review possible.It is light and easy to work with. I can carry it around with a full boiler with no problem. I am a 5'6" tall, female and horribly out of shape. Must be the constant sitting and snacking.It heats up very quickly.If you're think about buying a Shark or some other model marketed by Bed Bath and Beyond, let me help you understand the differences. I bought a Shark for my parents. It is a good product. If you want to sanitize rather than really clean, it's for you. It also has a price-point of less than $150. I used it to sanitize my parent's house after my dad was diagnosed with cancer. Like I said, it is a good product and does it's job, but I had to work pretty hard along with it to get half of the results that I wanted. The difference is it's capabilities.It takes very long intervals of holding the steam on a surface to work. This can leave the surface wet.The steam also isn't very hot, so additional wiping and scrubbing is necessary.You have to refill it constantly.You have to wait quite a long time for it to heat up.Its a pain in the ass to use. Clunky and burdensome. The Dupray follows you around like a puppy dog.I realize that Dupray's products are expensive. But for $100 more than you would pay for a Shark, you could get the household version of a Dupray.Closing comment... I don't know how I ever lived without it.

I’ve only had my dupray for a week and so far, I love it!! Easy to assemble and works great!

I wanted a steam cleaner that I could use regularly in my tiled bathrooms, and for other cleaning chores - like a deep clean of my mountain bike and the leather seats in my car. I have been using the Tosca for several months and am incredibly pleased. I use the Dupray about once a month on my tiled bathrooms - both shower and floor and find that I just don't have to fight with all the build-up anymore. The steam cleaner blows right through soap buildup and powers out the grime that builds into the corners. I think the real difference with this machine vs. other cheaper options is the quantity of steam produced. The steam jet is powerful and and can be used continuously at full power until the tank runs dry (I can clean two bathrooms, my kitchen floor, and do a quick once over on leather couches all with one tank).The other strong selling point for me is just the absolute quality build on the Dupray Tosca. I read about problems with burnt hands from cracked hose lines on other steamers. The hose and all accessories are just so well made. Utterly tough, with solid connections between all components. For me, it was well worth the dollars to buy a tool that I can use regularly for a lifetime. Thanks Dupray for quality manufacturing.

Heats quickly to over 300 degrees. Cleans good. I have to say it’s overpriced but actually works unlike cheaper models I tried. Biggest complaint is the trigger won’t lock on, but there’s always duct tape…. LOL.

I previously had a $300 steamer and sold it as I was never happy with its ability to clean any better than a warm mop or a little elbow grease. I purchased this unit with the hope that it would perform on a different level, but I was mistaken. It cleaned the tile floors well but honesty no better than a microfiber mop and warm cleaning solution. I actually like the microfiber mop better as I don't have to lug around a heavy unit with water in it. I also tried it in the showers of my home and was not impressed as it cleans no better than some cleaning solution and elbow grease.I purchased it mainly to clean the grout in my kitchen and it virtually did nothing at all. Don't waste your time cleaning grout with it as it wont do anything.While the unit is extremely well made from the canister to the attachments I just did not think it was worth the $1,000.If you really want a steamer I would go with a cheap unit as it does the same thing with less sturdy attachments.

The steamer works very well,, all the attachments are very easy to put together and self-explanatory. It comes with extensions for carpets, tile, flooring , small corners, etc. I have used it for car rims for flooring for wall tiles in the shower steam cleaned my mattress and my carpets. You can pretty much use it on anything I’ve even used it on my wood floor with the cloth you will be amazed the dirt that comes off of your flooring with this machine.Customer service was phenomenal every email they answered the same day. It’s steams up within six minutes runs for about one hour of cleaning depending on what you’re using it for but it does last for quite a while if you fill it up again all you have to wait is 6 minutes. I never leave reviews for this I am leaving a review because I am completely satisfied and you know the old saying you get what you pay for yes it’s a little expensive but you get what you pay for. The steam this thing gives out exceeds any 100$ shark or standard mop. You can use this for commercial work also I am completely satisfied with this piece of equipment because of the ease of use, the steam it puts out,,, no waiting for it to heat up... end it cleans very very well if you take care of your equipment it will last a very long time, just like anything else.
