Gemoro Steam cleaners any thoughts?

[tajee]

I have been looking for a good steam cleaner. What kind of PSI should I look for to get a good cleaning? Has anyone hear anything on the below items? They look pretty good but I''ve called/emailed 5 places and they all are out of stock.

I rather like them but, I must say, for most consumer type purposes I prefer the JewelJet for less than 1/2 the price and a much smaller footprint. The only real problem I have with the JJ is that the tank is rather small and so the pressure drops after you clean a ring or three. In a jewelry store environment, which is what the GemOro is aimed at, this would be unacceptable but for a consumer it’s just fine.

What PSI does the JJ produce? I see some steamers avail from 35 -150 psi does this make a huge difference?

Also why cant I find anyone that has the Gemoro items in stock? They all say they are stuck in customs.

Thanks Again

I don't know the PSI on the JJ but I can say that I use one almost every day and it works just fine. Here's the manufacturer, it seems likely that they can tell you. Let us know what you learn.

I also don't know why the dealers can't deliver the GemOro. It might be a vast conspiracy but maybe they ARE stuck in customs.

I agree with Neil above. I have a Jeweljet and that is sufficient for the 2-3 pieces that I clean at a time......And it is small enough that my husband thought I got a new espresso machine

Hi Neil/Grace,

Would JJ be ok to clean micropave settings? Thanks.

P/S: Sorry to hijack your thread. Thanks!
