The leading positions are occupied by vertical steam generators and steam cleaners, as well as steamers.

In this article, we will talk specifically about these household appliances, their advantages and disadvantages, we will determine the highest quality models from different manufacturers.

Considering the fact that many housewives choose devices with the function of "steam ironing" for their home, you need to deal with each of them separately. This will allow you to understand the difference between a vertical steam generator, a steamer and a steam cleaner, the principle of their operation, areas of application, and the features of each of them.

As for the rules of application and any one general instruction, this does not happen. Each household appliance is unique. Its work technology, technical parameters are different from each other. If you want your "home assistant" to last as long as possible, be sure to read the instructions before use or consult a sales assistant when buying.

A good manufacturer provides information on how to use the appliance correctly. Even if you already had, for example, a steam generator, and you know how to use it, but bought a new model, do not rush - read the instructions. And remember: if the device fails because it has been improperly operated, there can be no guarantee of any kind.
