Wagner Spraytech 0282036 715 Power, Chemical Free Remover, Two Steam Plates Included, Long Run Time, Lightweight Design, Wallpaper Steamer

This little tool did everything I needed it to and it worked well, I could not have been more pleased with its performance. I was in a hurry so I ordered this just to get the job done and since it was only 50 bucks, if it saved me just a little time it would still be worth the money even if it did not work well. But I was so pleasantly surprised. I needed a wallpaper steamer but to buy an item for one specific job is something I try to avoid if possible but is necessary. Especially wallpaper, how often does the normal person or even handyman have to deal with it unless you specialize. I started looking at cleaner steamers with a wall plate attachment, so that way once I used it for the job i could use for the bathrooms and kitchens, etc. The problem with those is they do not have both attachments and not all stores carry them. and they are much more expensive. Overall they are meant for a different purpose to which they are suited better. just as this machine is suited better the job it does. So rather than spend 3x the price on a cleaner system, I just bought this simple wallpaper steamer for the job at hand. But if you have every removed wallpaper the old way , you know you wet it, then wait, then wet it again, and when you think you have wet it enough or too much, you wet it some more. Not too mention the mess on the floor and how you have to deal with retaining. But it can still take a lot of elbow grease scraping. With a steamer vs by hand is you use so much less water and only mess you have is the paper from the wall. I have seen reviews from others that are simply not waiting long enough for a couple key steps to start scraping. This process even with a steamer takes time. FIrst stat the steamer as indicated in the instructions, it will take 15-20 min or so for it to start pumping out the steam. But once flowing i had it run for longer than the 70 min stated. Now once you set down the plate, just wait at least a minute, move the plate over to the new spot, and scrap. Is it easy? Is it still hard? If hard you need to leave it in place longer, or if real easy you can use a little less time. IMO more time is always better, if you notice you are not just pushing the scraper to get the paper off and you are having to scrape back and forth hard , stop, and apply more steam, there is no reason to work hard, work smart and let the steamer do the work. OK so lets say it takes 2 to 2 1/2 minutes total to clean an area the size of the plate 11'" X 8" . Now it is time to do math, figure out your total area. It may take you longer in some areas, and others clean easier , but you get the idea. This just doesn't happen instantly Also depending on the wallpaper it can take much longer. I had this paper that was plastic so even with a scraper tool and putting holes in it the steam can never saturate the plastic, i had to melt it a little so it would start to stretch and then I could pull it apart and separate it from the paper backing, then the steam worked as it should. But in most applications you will have regular wallpaper. Remember to wipe the wall as you go too, the glue residue is much easier to wipe away due to the steam so scrape what you can and then wipe off what you can as you go, otherwise there will be more than needs to be when you go back to finally clean and prep wall for what you are going to do it next. Before you complain about a machine make sure it is a mechanical problem and not technice problem.

LOVE IT! Very surprised that I loved this little affordable machine. Used it to remove old 90's style border from nearly every room. I was down to my last two rooms, and my hand held steamer broke. This had amazing reviews and was so different from my hand held powerful all purpose steamer (that broke- 3x's) and I was pleasantly SHOCKED at how well this affordable steamer worked. I wished I had had it for the other six rooms I had done prior as it is so easy and fast. Pieces come off in sheets rather than tiny little sch-nibbles. It rests easily on the floor instead of me having to "play octopus" using the older hand held steamer. They stated it takes 15 minutes for it to start however I found mine ready after just 5-6 minutes. If you are removing borders or any wall papering this is a must have. It's quick, easy, makes clean up and removal of waste so easy/fast/simpler I also feel safer not having to "be an octopus" on a ladder or step stool. So time saving and easy. I'm kicking myself for not having this earlier. I had so much apprehension about purchasing this that it wouldn't work, and I'm so happy and beyond pleased with this nifty lightweight affordable steamer. :) If I could give it 8 stars I would! Also, I'm not a prime member and it shipped FAST!

It does work. Definitely made taking off wallpaper easier. Doesn’t take too long to heat up. Has an automatic safety shutoff when water gets low. There is a lot of water that drips as a result of the stream. I wish there was a way to access the main container better so that you can dry it out. The only option you have is to dump it out, leave the cap off, and let the remaining drops dry by evaporation. Regardless, I’d recommend it

Someone let me borrow a very expensive steamer to remove the awful wallpaper that is in my hallway that has probably been there since Nixon was in office. It did ok and it came off in small chunks so I took a break from my Covid project. 4 months later I still hadn’t picked up where I left off and I was annoyed with the steamer so I searched and came across this. I was still unsure of it after I bought it, I mean how good could it be it’s not expensive and looked kind of cheap. Holy crap!! What a difference. I did 7 full strips of paper in 1 hour and and still had water left in the tank. I am super impressed. If you have stubborn wallpaper get this! Pro - easy to use, gets all the paper off, fast, lightweight Con - there is no way to turn the steam off to set it down so once you start you need to keep going. Tips- use a towel under the area your working because water will run down the wall - set up a trash can you throw your paper in - GET A WALLPAPER SCOREING TOOL! - Score while they steamer is heating up - Dont change the head while the steamer is running. I know that is kind of common sense but you never know who has to hear it.

I purchased this machine a few weeks ago to help my parents remove wallpaper that's been glued on the wall for nearly 20 years. I found that if you took the smaller of the two wands that come with the machine and steamed over a section of walling, taking your time (maybe 1-2 minutes) then used a puddy knife or drywall mudding blade, the wall paper would come right off. As a disclaimer, it was mostly one layer, however, there was a second layer from some boarder paper and the machine did great with too. No matter how many layers you have the process is the same; simply steam the area, pealed off the top coat paper, then re-steam in order to take off the underlining paper with glue. Worked great and there was no need to wash the walls before painting. It's a cheap solution, that didn't damage the walls. One particular negative was that the steam wand produced a lot of steam and could condense thus essentially leak water down the wall or onto the floor. This caused the process often to be wet and a bit messy. However, it's was worth the effort and the little bit of a mess. The reservoir on the machine was sufficient doing a sizable section of walling. It did take about 10-15 minutes to warm the water in the machine in order to produce steam so be patient, that's normal. However, once the machine was up and running it then ran for 30+ minutes on one tank. If you are looking for a chemical free solution to removing wallpaper, I would highly recommend this machine!

Works as advertised, saved hours, if not days, of scraping off old wallpaper glue. So first I peeled the old wallpaper off, then used this steamer to remove the glue backing from the wall. I had two types in my older home. One was fairly recently applied, and seemed more like a glue sheet that just needed to be heated up. For this you could hold the steamer against the wall for 5 seconds or so and then just peel it off with your fingers. If you use the smaller steam plate, which seems to concentrate heat more, you could slide it down the wall, peeling a strip as you went. The larger steam plate you had to hold in place more, but could then peel a larger area, it worked fast enough you could peel once section as you were steaming the next. The other wallpaper was older, and the glue layer more more paper like. For this I had to let the steam soak into the paper (say 15 seconds a section) and when you saw the paper getting wet around the edges it was ready to go. For this type of glue layer I had to use a plastic scraper, but it scraped it right off - leaving a nice coat of paint underneath! My only quibble is the connection between the steam hose and the larger white steam plate is close to the edge and one time I pressed it too hard into a corner and it seemed like it might crack, but I heard a noise and stopped just in time. This item was cheaper than my local home improvement store for the same item, and also cheaper than renting a similar tool for 4 hours.

This is the best 50 dollars I have ever spent!!! I am in the process of removing wall paper in a bunch of rooms in a house my fiance and I just bought The first room I used the spray bottle method with fabroc softner and hot water, it worked alright but took a lot of scraping. I ordered this steamer to give it a shot and see how it went, It works AMAZING!!! Best way to remove wall paper. I had 1 whole wall done in around 30 minutes give or take.. This is one heck of a steamer and I am so so happy I purchased it. The wall paper in our house was put on in 89 and it has had no problems removing it! I did not score the wall or do any prep work to it besides taping over my outlets and switches. It takes it right off, I perfer to rip the wall paper off by hand ( as much as I can) and leave the thin tape type backing on the wall and it makes it even easier and takes less time steaming each section, It was taking me 30-45 seconds when I left the top layer on but when i took the top layer off it went down to about 5-10 seconds!! Also I like to go around the room and remove all the wall paper that is higher up that requires a step stool, then go back around and do everything you can reach by hand, to me it makes it go faster with less up and down just some helpful tips I learned while using this AWESOME AWESOME STEAMER! If you are removing wall paper this is a MUST!!!!!! If I could give it 10 stars I would!!

I was hoping for a miracle product based on other reviews. Maybe my wallpaper border was applied using some gorilla glue. It was a long, hard process and I had to make at least 4 passes on my project and put in a lot of muscle (and eventually some chemical spray to get the final bits). Water dripped and leaked -- starting when I filled the steamer... I should have ignored the instruction to fill before attaching the hose because water poured out of the open connection when I filled it too fast. I had some damage to the paint and drywall because my wallpaper border needed so much hot steam. There is definitely a learning curve to the removal. You must use both hands (steaming and immediate scraping). You cannot hold a towel in the second hand to soak up all the boiling water that drips down the wall and from the connection. Just let it drip into a towel on the floor and scrape the wallpaper while it's super hot. My top layer was nearly unaffected by steaming and scoring didn't help much. So, I made a first pass steaming with one hand and peeling the top layer as much as possible with the other. The 2-4th passes were steaming and scraping the bottom layer then the residual glue. FYI, you cannot turn the steamer sideways to fit the paper better... the steam must come from the bottom and flow upwards. While this product did make the project possible, I wouldn't buy this again knowing how stubborn my wallpaper border was. It would be worth it to hire a painter. I have removed half of a wallpaper border from my kitchen after spending all afternoon. I have the other half to go and then an awful, glue-y mess of tiny bits of paper everywhere. I can't imagine if the whole walls had been papered. It was hard work nine feet up (but the long hose was great). I hope other users have paper that's not so stubbornly adhesive.

Lo uso para poder sacar cera de moldes (cera perdida) y es una magnífica herramienta! Tarda un poco en calentar toda el agua si se llena hasta el límite, pero ya sacando vapor avienta la cantidad suficiente para terminar pronto con el trabajo.

This works great....the instructions say to score the wallpaper lightly so that the steam gets into paper. If you score too deeply you score the wall underneath and if your wall paper is real thick, you can't help but press too hard trying to score it and thereby scoring the wall as well...I found it better to try to only score enough to rip the surface of the wallpaper off and leave the paper backing still stuck to the wall so that the steam could moisten that paper that and then it will peel off real easy. When you heat the machine up, it takes about 15 minutes, but once it is in full steam mode it immediately starts shooting out steam continuously, there is no pause mode so if you need to put down the steamer it will keep steaming away...so make sure you don't have too many pauses while you are peeling the top coat of wallpaper off.

I bought this over a year ago, and second as a back up that’s still in the box. I used this to build a hay steamer for horses. It sits outside in a metal shed year round. I keep a small heated dog bed under it to prevent freezing and the entire system is under an insulated tarp. This steamer ran 7 days a weeks last winter for over 4 months, two hours per day, regardless of the weather. I have it plugged into a timer as there is no automatic off. Each evening I refill the water tank (about 3 L is what it uses, but can hold 4L) and the following afternoon it turns on and runs for two hours again. This winter I’ve just recently set it up again and it’s still runs great. I’m sure this is not what Wagner intended, so I think I’ve truly tested it’s durability for them.

Worked pretty well but didn’t penetrate right through to the glue on the first pass. Had to remove all of the outer paper first then do another pass on the glue to remove that. Tried using the scoring tool as well but it made no difference and actually made the process take longer since I couldn’t pull big strips off because of the scoring.

Works well . It’s pretty simple . It’s a steamer , it makes steam and my wall paper came off the wall. Very happy I bought it
