Ladybug Vapor Steam Cleaner

Review of the Ladybug Vapor Steam Cleaner

Review of the Ladybug Vapor Steam Cleaner. In the 2200 series of Ladybug vapor steam cleaners, you can choose between two models. The upgraded 2200 includes the optional TANCS system. The model 2200 works best in homes with about 1,200 square feet.

Like other Ladybug versions, these steamers use only the power of steam—no chemical cleaning agents required.

The Ladybug 2200S starts at $1,249 and includes a one-year parts and labor warranty. The stainless-steel boiler comes with a three-year warranty.

The upgraded 2200S with the TANCS system starts at $1,499. It also carries a one-year parts and labor warranty, but its boiler warranty extends to eight years.

Easy to Use

The included DVD shows exactly how to use the Ladybug, so you won’t have to decipher pictographs.

Fill the unit with water, wait about 10 minutes for the boiler to heat, and you’re ready to go.

A control at your fingertips adjusts the steam level.

Thanks to its continuous fill feature, you’ll never run out of steam.

Multi-purpose

Use the Ladybug Vapor Steam Cleaner on a wide variety of surfaces to remove dirt, mold, grease, and more.

It sanitizes kitchens and bathrooms, removes mold and mildew from grout, and cleans mattresses to kill bedbugs.

You can safely clean floors and countertops, and even blast weeds out of sidewalk cracks.

Because the Ladybug uses very little water, surfaces dry almost instantly.

Continuous Fill

Like other Ladybug models, the 2200 includes a continuous fill feature.

You don’t need to cool down the boiler before refilling, since it has a separate non-pressurized water reservoir that holds 1.4 liters.

A low-water light and audible signal alert you when you’re almost out of water.

A pressure gauge lets you monitor steam levels at a glance.

Accessories

The Ladybug 2200 rolls smoothly on four swivel wheels for easy maneuvering. The 6.7-foot steam hose helps you reach above-floor or hard-to-access areas.

To make cleaning easier, the 2200 includes a variety of attachments:

Funnel
6 cotton towels
Crevice scraper tool
Boiler drain tool
Nylon brushes for tile and grout
2 extension wands
Large rectangular brush
Window cleaning tool
Large triangular brush
Steam nozzle
Instructional DVD

TANCS Option

The optional TANCS system adds a few hundred dollars to the price but offers valuable benefits.

TANCS (Thermal Activated Nano Crystal Sanitation system) provides EPA-certified disinfection without any chemicals.

With TANCS, the boiler warranty extends to eight years. It also prevents scale buildup, extending the boiler’s life, reduces water usage, and shortens drying time.

Ladybug Vapor Steam Cleaner Recommendations

This model comes highly recommended. If your budget allows, choose the version with TANCS.
You’ll gain the added warranty period and reduced maintenance thanks to less scale buildup.
