I have one and use it frequently. I steam my counters, appliances, etc.
About four years ago, I renovated my kitchen. During the renovation, an old cabinet was brought in to determine its feasibility as an artistic touch. I felt uneasy about it, thinking "roach" the whole time. The cabinet didn't fly in the design and was discarded, but I swear when it came into the house, I saw a roach. I had a foreboding feeling. I asked that it be removed immediately, but it was too late.
About a week later, the renovation team pried off the top of my counter and found some roaches. I flipped out, just totally went berserk. I grabbed my steamer and steamed all the roaches I saw on top of the cabinet posts. I also steamed the baseboards and any other crack or crevice I could find.
After steaming them, I felt foolish. I said to myself that the steamer would never have killed all those roaches. I should have gone with a poison, I thought, but being an organic type, there were none in the household.
Weeks went by: never saw another roach, and there had to be at least 30 on top of the cabinet posts alone.
I heartily recommend steamers!
