Hey guys earlier I started to create a thread, I had started it off as a little ode to my desire to spend a little wasteful money on myself every once in a while but seemed to turn into a dissertation so I deleted what I wrote and went on with my day.
Now, I figure I will cut out the cute stuff and just ask the question. Which do you think would be most useful? A Master Blaster or a steamer?
Here is a little about me...
I do not do this professionally
I have one vehicle (the interior is almost all vinyl), I do not clean any friends, family or neighbors vehicles
I do own a house
... neither of these items are the least bit important or necessary in my life, I understand that. However, I think I want to spend a little money on myself and was thinking one or the other.
I am pretty pedantic and meticulous when it comes to my engine compartment which is why I am really considering that steamer, plus I figure it might be able to help me keep my floors inside my house clean as well.
On the other hand, I still might be able to do a decent job washing the engine bay with what I normally use and can really get it dry and avoid water spots and such that I get now with the master blaster. Also I can use it to blast water out of crevices and just overall dry my truck which takes a little time considering the size of my vehicle, it will also cut down on costs associated with microfiber clothes that I buy.
A compiled list that not only covered plus's and delta's but usability would probably lean toward the steamer as it can be used for multiple applications (not just a vehicle) but that leads me to another problem. I see cheap steamers for around $100, I see the one AG carries for around $300 then I see the expensive one that everyone talks about for a breath-taking $2500. If someone lets you finance a steamer for $90 a month, maybe you are going a little overboard? Especially for my minute necessities. How is that $300 unit going to compare to the $100 and the $2500? Is it going to be worth it to get the $300 unit for what I want to use it for? Or is it junk compared to the $2500 one? I know the more expensive one gets hotter MUCH hotter (if I remember correctly close to 100 degree difference, could be wrong), I am sure the pressure is much higher as well (I have not compared specs perfectly). Is this one of those scenarios where you do it right and do it once? Or is this more like well you can buy the makita or the flex, the flex is more expensive but the makita will still do the same thing but its just not as nice?
I would love to hear some opinions from people that have the master blaster, what all do you use yours for? I am curious to here some creativity with it.
I would also like to hear input from people with steamers, what all do you do with yours? Which model and if you do not mind telling me, what did you spend?
If you own both, please any input you can give me and which one is more versatile to you and which one could you "not live without"?
Thanks everyone, can you believe this is my abridged version of what I was writing earlier? lol
