Not really a "tiling" tool i know. But I've been after a steamer for a while now to remove paint prior to tiling.
Landed a side line job decorating a one bedroom flat in sheltered accommodation (which is where i am right now).
So i invested in the above mentioned steamer. Was more expensive than the others on offer which were around £25-£30.
I paid £70 explain the Bosch. A can i just say what a brilliant piece of kit. A lot more robust than the cheaper models and has made very light work of the wallpaper I've had to remove tonight.
Highly recommend. But there is one small negative. The gauge for water level is on the same side as the filler cap. So filling up from a tap you can't really see where you're at.
Other than that its ace!

My other half had one of the cheaper ones in the past to get some paper off at home. If i recall it just used to leak water everywhere and the square plate all warped and mishaped.
Not seen the one you mentioned but did local in Johnsons and saw some pretty big and expensive ones. Little excessive for what i wanted though.
Didn't want to spend as much as i did but glad i did now. As steamers go its brilliant. Lol
