$400-$500This dual-mode steamer produces dry, pressurized steam that cleans grout, grills, and floors without messy splashing. Its internal boiler and quick-drying surfaces make it the most powerful and versatile option tested.
what experts say
- >“In our tests, cleaned very well thanks to its built-in boiler that produces hot, dry and pressurized steam. And because the steam is drier than with non-boiler models, surfaces dry quickly and messy splashing and splattering is minimized too.”— Good Housekeeping Institute
- >“The pressurized steam blast on the Dupray is noticeably more forceful so it did clean more quickly and with a bit less effort. Keep in mind that when steam hits a cold surface, it condenses so expect to sop up the water it leaves behind. I had to do this with both steamers, though somewhat less with Dupray's drier steam.”— Good Housekeeping (Carolyn Forte, 40+ years experience)
