hand holded, but it is BRILLIANT for instantaneously cleaning the cages, we move the birdies away, let them play on thier Gym, & then set too with the steamer, it jointly cleans, & because of the considerably heat, should kill most "germs" as well, & because it uses a cupfull of water, only newly leaves you wiping the resiudue away with a clean cloth.
Ours cost ?79.. About $120, Im sure a bit of careful shopping could find 1 cheaper..
A oddly couple of up-sides, are that we use it all over the house, and even clean bits of the cars with it.. And this week, I had a bad cold, and did a steam clean.... Talk about inhaler, the wife had to finish off, it was a BIG Excpectorant (Horrible, but all the Plegm came up, Gotta say why is is spelt Plegm, when it`s pronounced Flem?.. Sorry for that, but it exclusively happened LOL)
