Hi Neil;

    I've got one, made by Hoffman, and I've been running it pretty much
    continuously for 8 years now. The only problem I had was I had to
    replace the on-off switch. Cost was under $500 at the time I bought
    it from Kassoy. The pressure is adequate, not quite as strong as the
    big boiler containing units, and you do have to buy distilled water
    for it, but a gallon lasts me a couple weeks or more. You can steam
    off a piece of jewelry, by the time you pick up the next, it's ready
    for another blast. But lean on it for a minute and it starts to
    fade. It's a good choice if you can't afford a bigger unit.
