What makes the Dupray Home Steam a Good Buy? 

Dupray Home Steam Cleaner comes with many outstanding features to ensure that you will enjoy your cleaning. Some of these features include; 

Adjustable steam control 

One of the significant benefits of using this machine is that it allows you to control the steam. Adjust the steam settings with one simple dial control to choose the amount of steam you want to use. Choose from low steam settings (best for delicate flooring such as laminate) to the high steam setting for tackling baked-on grease on the grill. You’ll find you rarely need to use the high steam setting, the low and medium is generally sufficient.

Performance  

When it comes to performance, this machine is among the best steam cleaners on the market. It reaches high temperatures of up to 293⁰F/125⁰C, enabling it to remove up to 99.9% of bacteria, bedbugs, dust mites, viruses, mold, germs, etc. As a result, you can use it to disinfect even the dirtiest areas in your home.  

Turn on the machine as you are tidying your home, and by the time you are ready to start cleaning, the water in the tank will be hot. Taking around 8 minutes to heat up, you can then clean for 40-50 minutes on one full water tank. Again, it uses just ordinary tap water without chemicals. 

Design 

The Dupray Home Steam Cleaner has a compact design that is easy to use. It is equipped with intuitive controls plus advanced technological features to enhance performance. It is lightweight, weighing less than 10lbs. or 4.2 kg without water. The unit is made and hand-assembled in Europe, with quality and durability at the forefront of Dupray’s standards.

Environmentally Friendly 

Another reason why you may need this machine is that it doesn’t use chemicals. Instead, it uses tap water. If you have young children who are constantly on the floor or pets in your home, you don’t need to worry about any chemical residue being left behind. 

This also means that it is very friendly to the environment.  

Boiler 

The boiler is among the most important parts of a steam cleaner because it heats water and creates pressurized steam in the tank. It should be durable and sturdy enough to withstand high temperatures. In this regard, the boiler that comes with this steam cleaner is made of stainless steel to enhance durability and offer excellent heat retention.  

Dupray offers a lifetime warranty on the boiler tank with the Home steam cleaner. 

This cleaning machine produces excellent steam with just 5% of water content. The steam is pressurized more than 4 times the atmospheric pressure to make cleaning work easier. 

Automatic Shut-off 

To enhance safety, the Dupray Home Steam Cleaner is equipped with an inbuilt thermal sensor that detects when the unit is running low on water. This function shuts the heating element off and turns on the low water indicator. This protects your machine from potential electrical failures from the heating element running dry. Besides that, it comes with 3 levels of safety which include the childproof safety lock, low water light, and the automatic shut off. 

Steam Hose and Power Cord  

The unit comes with a 5 feet and 7 inches steam hose featuring a steam release trigger for easier use. Besides that, it has a childproof safety lock to prevent kids from playing with the unit. The electric cord is 7 feet and 5 inches – not particularly long. You may need to move power outlets frequently or use an extension lead. 

Warranty 

When buying a steam cleaner, you can quickly determine its quality by checking the warranty. The Dupray Home steam cleaner comes with a 3-year warranty, unlike other steam cleaners. This canister steamer is built to last with a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel boiler. 

Ability to clean hard to reach areas 

One of the main challenges you are likely to experience with many steam mops is difficulty cleaning some areas. However, the Dupray Home cleaner comes with many attachments that allow you to remove grime or dirt in all areas, including the inaccessible parts.  

14 Accessories 

To enhance versatility, this steam cleaner comes with 14 heavy-duty accessories. These accessories are connected with the unit to remove stains, dust, germs, grease, viruses, grime, and any other form of dirt. The accessories are:

• The rectangular floor tool (12 inches/ 30 cm wide) is excellent for cleaning floors or large surfaces. You can use it with ordinary microfiber cloths or use the included steam bonnet. You can use this on floors, walls, and carpet.
• Triangular tool – To get into hard-to-reach places, corners, or clean smaller surface areas. This is an incredibly versatile tool that can be used with the included steam bonnet and without. 
• Refill funnel – This one helps you to refill water without spilling.  
• Microfiber bonnet: You can use this small microfiber cover with the triangular tool to concentrate the steam when cleaning. It is excellent for upholstery cleaning as well.
• 2 Extension tubes – These 20 inches/50 cm extension tubes allow you to extend your reach even without losing the steam pressure. 
• 2 small nylon brushes – Useful for deep cleaning around taps, drains, sinks, grout lines, and anything that needs a bit of a scrub. 
• A small brass brush is handy for more challenging grout, oven, and grill cleaning.  
• Window tool (9cm/23 cm wide) – The widow tool will be beneficial when cleaning windows or mirrors for a streak-free shine. 
• Connector – With this tool, you can easily connect the accessories to the hose and extension tubes.  
• Lance – You can use the lance for cleaning applications where precision and intensity are required. You can also use it with a small brush for scrubbing.  

How to Use the Dupray Home Steam Cleaner

This short video will step you through everything that comes in the box, and how to get started using the home steam cleaner.

The Dupray Home Steam Cleaner can be used for a wide variety of cleaning tasks such as:

Floors 

Cleaning floors is among the most tiresome activities, especially when cleaning many rooms or big houses. However, with the Dupray Home Cleaner DU050, you can remove even the most stubborn debris and dirt without any problem. You can use it together with ordinary soft cloths (such as old cloth nappies, hand towels, or cut-down bath towels) or the included microfiber bonnet. The machine is highly effective in deep cleaning grout lines. 

Upholstery 

When searching for a quality steam cleaner that you can use to clean delicate upholstery, chairs, or furniture, the Dupray Home steam cleaner is an excellent choice. You can also steam your mattress, eliminate bed bugs and other pests, and kill germs on pet bedding.

 Bathrooms and Toilets 

The Dupray Home Steam Cleaner is also effective in disinfecting toilets or cleaning showers. You can also use it to remove mineral deposits and soap scum without the need for harsh, smelly chemicals. The included window squeegee is excellent on shower screens.

Home Appliances 

Most home appliances like those used in the kitchen are very delicate. This means that cleaning them is not always easy. However, the Dupray Home Steam Cleaner DU050 allows you to sanitize or degrease sinks, countertops, ovens, BBQs, fridges, and many more. 

Dupray Home Steam Cleaner Vs Neat 

The Dupray Neat and the Dupray Home Steam Cleaners have similar features. Many people find it difficult to differentiate the two. However, the Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner heats up to 275⁰F while the Dupray Home heats up to 293⁰F. Both are very effective in killing microorganisms and germs. 

When it comes to the number of accessories, the Dupray Neat comes with 17 accessories. In comparison, the Dupray Home comes with 14 accessories. The Dupray Neat comes with a 2 years warranty, while the Dupray Home has a 3 years warranty. 

The Dupray Neat has an aluminum boiler tank, the Home has an upgraded stainless steel boiler. Both offer lifetime warranties on the boiler tank. 

I would buy the Dupray Home over the Dupray Neat because of the hotter, drier steam. With only 5% moisture content, the Dupray Home offers drier, vapor steam cleaning compared to the basic Neat model.
