Just the perfect size for your home. Digital display and rapidly drying steam at high temperature that makes your floor feel so clean. The tools are commercial grade and heavy. The locking clips work well but take strength to interchange pieces. Wheels swivel and ride easily on floor. Handle on top of boiler makes it easy to carry. Two shutoff points on machine, one on top and one on the side making it safer to unplug from outlet. Continuous steam and water filling ability.Price is steep but it is for commercial and residential use. Comes with nice thick storage bag that collapses on top if you just want to use the rectangular tools section only. Hoping Dupray will make the same stainless steel machine for just home use with a lock in place handle so you don’t have to push button constantly for steam like this one. And lighter weight tools.

This is a whole new way to clean. You don’t need buckets, chemical and all kinds of cleaning tools. You don’t have to think about how you’re going to clean something. There is minimal setup because you leave the water in the unit from the last time. You just pull it out of storage and plug it in. You use the lowest pressure setting when you want continuous steam (plenty for the floor) and the higher pressure settings when you are blasting away dirt in hard to get places. Inside corners and tight grooves are the hardest to get to so you use more pressure to get in there. Sometimes I have to wear a rubber glove because my hand is too close to the hot steam. All the attachments are thick plastic that insulates you from the heat. But they hold up well with the heat. When I steam the floor (terrazzo), I need only two small towels to mop the whole house. The bristles on the medium floor attachment grab the terry-cloth towel like it was velcro and I wrap the excess towel on the extension pole and hold it in place with a velcro-strap (16 inches) I got from Home Depot. The two-tank heating system is the only way to go because you just keep filling it and go. On a one-tank system, you have to wait for a cool down to fill it and wait again to heat it up. Sorry, when I’m working I don’t want to be forced to take a break, I want to keep the momentum going. So what you are doing is: melting the dirt and grease and transferring it to a towel that you throw in the laundry washer. You’re always using a rag or towel to wipe right after you steam something. It is surprising how well it cleans and don’t forget, you’re sterilizing it with heat. Killing ALL the germs with simple water. You do get some ‘hot-water’ condensation out of the hose at first, but plan for and put it on your rag instead of where you are steaming. I am really glad they put a sliding latch on the handle as a ‘lock out’ so you don’t accidentally push the trigger and shoot steam in your face. You only have to do it once to learn your lesson. The trigger is actually a large electronic button under the handle that is activated when you gently touch it while you grab the handle. It has a pretty light touch so it is easy to turn on the steam. Again, use the ‘lock out’, avoid the ACCIDENT! It’s almost fun when you find new things to clean with it, and it really shines when it is a tight crevice you’re trying to get into. You really are BLASTING the dirt away with super-hot steam (water boils at 212f/100c, this is 320f/160c).
UPDATE: Ouch !!!! Use a rubber glove over the hand you’re not triggering with. I had a leak on the side of the brush I had covered with a towel that I didn’t see and got burned. I had to put a bag of frozen peas on it to take the sting away. I still love my machine though. I was cleaning my leather couch and the steam makes it look like new again.
UPDATE: My kitchen sink has a four foot horizontal drain-line in the wall that clogs every two-to-three years. In past years I have bought so many pieces of heavy equipment to take care of this and all the lines in my house. This year I thought, “hum, I wonder if that drain-line fitting in the Dupray works?” Short answer, “YES”. I felt like crying in happiness because it was sooo easy (remembering the pain in previous years). Remember,”320 degrees at 120 pounds of pressure.” It pushed all that food and grease and sterilized the pipe, I did it twice. NICE !
UPDATE: I have sinus problems because of breathing mold-spores from the air conditioning. I am an engineer and have been fighting this problem for years. I was cleaning my a/c condenser coils and was about to put the grill back on to finish. I thought, “I can’t imagine there would be any mold on the cover face of the unit. The condenser is what gets wet for the mold to grow, not the cover.” Well I was surprised to find small black spots (mold) on the inside of the fins of the cover. I thought, “you want war, you got it!” With the long narrow attachment I started methodically blasting away the spots. Steaming is like using bleach, it drills down to the original color. When the steam pressure was getting lower, I just pushed the button for maximum steam to up the pressure. Eventually, I take a break to let the pressure recover, about three minutes. As I’m blasting the spots, I started thinking, “this is getting LOUD” !! It’s like standing next to a jet engine without ear protection.” I went into the garage and put on my lawn-mowing ear muffs. Lastly, if you’re cleaning the interior of your car, go to a restaurant supply store and get some heavy-duty rubber gloves, the ones that go up to your elbows. You can shoot your hand a long time and not feel the heat. When you wipe your steering wheel, shoot the rag with the steam, then wipe. If you shoot the wrong plastic, you could melt it. You can also use the gun WITHOUT an attachment for a less concentrated, more gentle, stream of steam.
UPDATE: I just finished cleaning the freezer on my extra-large stainless steel refrigerator. I have the French doors on the top and the freezer on the bottom. I threw away old meat and pulled out the shop-vac to pick up all the loose vegetables. I then wiped down everything with a wet rag and the only thing left was some sticky fruit and some waxy stuff in the tracks where the shelf wheels ride. I thought, “hum, wonder what the Dupray would do?” No problem, wax is up and the sticky stuff no more. Another nice thing is being able to blast in the tiny corners, makes for a more professional job. Wow, that went well, and easy too! Ok, what about the finger prints on the stainless-steel doors? I used NO ATTACHMENT, I hold the gun 4 inches from the door and shoot semi-condensed steam on to the finger-prints. I wipe with a clean rag and finger-prints no more. There is no doubt the nicest thing about this Dupray is NO RINSING with clean water. NO CHEMICALS NEEDED ! I went back to the refrigerator to see if there was anything else I wanted to tell you. I looked at the refrigerator and thought, ‘gorgeous’.
UPDATE: So now I have more and more things I need to clean with the steamer on a regular basis. I mop the floor every two weeks and clean the air conditioner. This steamer moves along pretty fast so the list is growing, you’re getting big nasty jobs done really well and FAST! This time, before putting the steamer away, I thought “well the kitchen cabinets need a cleaning”. I’m a good cook and somehow a drop of spaghetti sauce flies out of the pot on to the white cabinet door. There are also hand prints and coffee drips down some door. I use a foam pad for my knees when I get down on the floor to be eye level with the bottom doors. I used the triangle attachment with a towel over it to rub the doors clean. I had 13 doors and 10 drawers done in about 15 minutes. I also did my in-wall oven and I discovered that if you use the triangle attachment like you use the single long nose attachment, you get a much wider steam spray that does larger areas pretty fast. It’s not blasting out dirt from corners as much as moving along faster. Also, holding the towel on the triangle attachment got pretty hot after a while, so I pulled out the heavy rubber gloves for more insulation on my hands. Now I am using ionized water instead of sink tap water. The steamer uses so little water that I can afford the best water for my machine. The ‘ionized’ water doesn’t have any minerals in it so I don’t have to clean it every 20 hours of use. I get the ionized water from my grocery store for about 86 cents a gallon. I might use a gallon per month for the steamer. It’s a no brainer. When I clean the A/C, I use the single nozzle attachment with the horse-hair brush. It’s gentle on the fine aluminum fins, I don’t brush them, I just use it to protect against bumping into the fins. They bend VERY EASILY, and you DON’T want that. When I turn off the steamer, I push the power button on the front panel and wait for the dashed lines to stop and the word OFF displays, THEN, I look at the back where the power cord is and press the main power switch to completely shut down the machine. Doing it this way avoids hurting the computer inside and messing up the programming.
UPDATE: Here is a special circumstance, so listen up. When you are steaming and the unit runs out of water, the alarm will start beeping and the Low Water light will blink. You press the power button on the front panel to stop the annoying beeping. You fill the water tank with water and press the power button to start the pumping. This time, the sound of the pump sounds different. It doesn’t sound like it is pumping water. The reason is twofold. For one, the pump ran out of water so it will need to prime itself. Second, the pump is pushing against steam pressure. To get the water into the pump, you will have to let all the pressure out. Then the pump will have a chance to draw water and push it into the steam chamber. It seems the pump can’t prime AGAINST steam pressure. Just let the steam out and the pump will sound different, the water starts flowing. Or…, don’t let it run dry, my bad. No biggie !

This machine is a beast! It’s solid, and should last a long time. Cleans just as the video ad shows. My son just moved into an old home. The Hill injection was perfect for cleaning up all surfaces and shining up old faucets etc…I used it on my son’s old sofa. It removed fingernail polish , glitter glue, old milk stains etc. Couch looks like new. Great for carpet stains and sanitizing toilets. I love how the steam will blast out anything beneath a toilet seat hinge. Got dried paint drips off a wooden floor…in a nutshell, the Hill Injection makes cleaning a breeze and it’s thorough in it’s job.

This is a great machine to use around the house to detail car, clean shower glass, fume hoods, hardwood and grout. Good steam temperature and the ability to refill on the fly. Solid build that should last you a lifetime.
The accessories that ship with the machine should cover most needs, with the additional brushes available for purchase covering any specialty cleaning needs.
One recommendation is to have Dupray ship a sample size of Biovap with the unit. This will allow owners to evaluate the product and determine if they need to purchase the full bottle.

Was going to use this for cleaning generator windings ,but my wife saw this and decided to do her carpets also. And then her floors too. What a machine. Had to think twice about buying this but well worth it. You don’t have to stop to refill and it gets water hotter. Floor and carpets never was so clean. Knew I liked steamer in 5 minutes of using. You get everything twice as clean in half the time

I ordered this unit thinking I would be able to tackle all of my home cleaning desires with it and occasionally use it at some of my properties for maintenance. The unit looks fantastic, but soon after buying it one of the tanks split in half at a seam, an obvious manufacturing error. I reached out to Dupray as soon as I noticed and they sent back a really friendly reply that there was nothing they could do for me even though the unit is almost new…. I kept emailing them about the warranty I was promised and they attempted to not honor any of the warranty. They would offer me free coupons for 50 dollars off to buy a new one or some accessories.
I took extremely good care of this unit and went out of my way to get the one that was supposedly really nice only to be treated like garbage and told to deal with it and buy a new one. After two months and 50 emails they finally said that they would replace it, of course for a nice 500 dollar fee.
I wouldn’t trust them to honor anything and if you buy this machine just realize that I was exceptionally gentle with it and never bumped it into anything and mine died before 15 hours of use. If I could sell it and reclaim any bit of the money I’d do it in a heartbeat just to be done with this company forever. I will not purchase any of their overpriced accessories or ever consider another unit from them.
Their emails came across as “friendly” but they were exceedingly dismissive and attempted to gaslight me into believing that I was in the wrong, hands down the least satisfying experience of my life.
If you are reading this review and yours had also broken and you are unsure of what to do, email them nonstop, do not let them have any peace and do not let them try and screw you over.
To be honest even if I didn’t experience the worst customer service there could have been I still wouldn’t buy it again, it doesn’t clean well at all, dumps water all over the place and barely stays hot for 30 seconds of use on medium.
Their website looks really good and they make these incredible claims but their products just don’t back them up, and they don’t back up their products.
If you want a steam cleaner look at the Sargent steamer, the poeple who run that company seem genuinely nice and helpful.
I hope this review at least helps stop a few people from making a huge mistake, I know I sure would have appreciated someone telling me not to do it!

You have to constantly hold down the steam trigger button to release the steam and this can be tiresome. Customer service was very poor and their return process is nothing to admire.
