Earlex Wallpaper Steam Stripper

Product Information

Also the cable from machine to socket could possibly do with being a bit longer - wasn't an issue for me as plenty of sockets, but might be otherwise. Optional steam cleaning accessories are avaliable to increase the versatility of the product even further.

I thought that the safety aspects of the design were good and in particular the quality of the mains supply lead.

The Steam Master is a must have for any DIY enthusiast or professional painter and decorator looking for a fast and easy way to remove wallpaper. The steam plate, cable and hose are designed to pack away neatly making it compact and easy to move from job to job. Unfortunately this had to be bought separately, however I think this was our misunderstanding rather than a problem with the product.

The hose feels as though it could be damaged relatively easy when it's cold but once it's had steam through it and warms up it becomes quite flexible. Once the heating element has boiled the water the steam passes through a cool to touch hose and comes out the steam plate. I can’t compare to more expensive ones but this has been a great help getting through layers of painted wallpaper, wallpaper, paint, wallpaper and several layers of wallpaper. litre water tank with exterior water level indicator allows for up to 90 minutes continuous steam time for larger stripping jobs. The Earlex wallpaper stripper helps you strip wallpaper without the use of chemicals making it the Eco-friendly choice for re-decorating.

All Earlex DIY steam wallpaper strippers have a cool-to-touch hose, overpressure safety valve, anti-discharge valve and anti-suckback valve, designed for user safety. I bought this Stripper mainly to remove the build up of ("It does what it says on the tin") varnish from my Cedar gate and fence, it did this OK by blistering the varnish and enabling it to be peeled off, I have used these gadgets in the past for removing vinyl wall paper and Artex and they work very well, what I didn't know and was a bonus is that they also could be used for sterilising soil so very useful in the greenhouse. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It does have a smaller reservoir than other items, however that is due to its small size and it makes it very easy and lightweight to use in tighter areas so I do not see this as being a problem. I had an original Earlex purchased 26 years ago unfortunately the connection to the steam pipe cracked, fortunately I kept the original attachments which fit on the new Earlex well pleased.When the steam plate is held against the wall, steam penetrates the paper, which saturates the backing and partially dissolves the old wallpaper paste releasing the old paper from the wall or ceiling quickly and easily.

One of Earlex'smost popular kits which is perfect for fast and simple removal of wall coverings, from wallpaper to Artex.
