Hello,
I have the Europro, its more of a professional steam cleaner. It rolls around like a Cannister vacuum cleaner. It costed about $300.00 to $400.00 but is supposed to be for heavy duty use, it does not run out of steam. It has a Large Sytainless Steel Tank, under pressure, holds over 2 liters of water, and has adjustable Steam pressure, and adjustable force of steam pressure. I was thinking of using this for records, but never have. Its basically the same as the handhelds, but does not run out of steam, due to large water tank inside. It is big and heavy, well built. But the temperatures should be the same, just that this model will produce that temperature on a consistant basis, due to large tank, and its intent is for continuous professional use. The temperature of these are supposed to be hot enough to kill any bacteria, I forget exactly what that is, since I have read th booklet, but I think its somewhere in the are of 200 degrees farenheight. Do these work as well as VPI record cleaning machines? What method do you use to clean? Do you towell dry, or air dry? Or must you also have a VPI machine in conjunction with it? Thanks, I appreciate any input. Ray
