Which Kitfort steam cleaner to buy
The review of Kitfort steam cleaners includes models of the highest quality. They are widely known in many cities of Russia and even beyond its borders. Choosing among a wide range is not difficult if you pay attention to a couple of important parameters - the power of the device and the capacity of the liquid tank. Thus, according to the first criterion, the leaders are steam cleaners KT-932 and KT-914, and according to the second - KT-917 and KT-933. The listed models are not sold at the lowest prices, but they have advanced functionality. It is for this reason that such devices attract the attention of buyers when standing on store shelves at first sight.
Features and principle of operation
The operation of the technology includes several simple steps:
- the user pours water into a special tank and turns on the device;
- the water is heated to a certain temperature (its indicator depends on the model);
- using the selected mode, hot steam penetrates the contaminated area, pushing out particles;
- the result is a clean surface.
The features of steam cleaners are their compact size, convenient use, and operation without special detergents.
The models are equipped with various attachments for cleaning things, windows and glass, ceilings, walls, tiles and so on.
Review of the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner
On the page of the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner on the website kitfort.ru you can find only laudatory reviews.

So, with Kitfort KT-933 you can not only tidy up the bathroom and kitchen, but also wash bicycles, clean motorcycles and cars, wash windows and glass surfaces, and also iron things in a delicate mode. Thus, the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner implements the functions of three steam jet devices: a disinfector, a steam mop and a steamer.
As part of testing, we will not be able to conduct experiments with each of the nozzles, but we will certainly try to clean hidden corners in the most contaminated rooms using a steam cleaner, as well as conduct a series of experiments that will allow us to draw conclusions about the ease of use and quality of implementation of each of the functions declared by the manufacturer .

Equipment
The Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner comes in a large box of a pleasant blue color. The box is heavy, but not excessively so. The packaging is designed in the Kitfort corporate style: logo, slogan, graphic image of the device, its name. On the sides the user will find related useful information: technical characteristics, features of the device and scope of application.
Inside the package, the steam cleaner is stationary thanks to two molded cardboard inserts. Accessories are placed in recesses of cardboard limiters and in free space. However, not a single part moves freely around the packaging or dangles. Having opened the box, inside we found:
- steam cleaner body
- many attachments: jet brush, angle brush, triangular brush, triangular brush attachment, scraper, glass scraper, two small and large nylon brushes, two brass brushes, scrub brush, floor brush, as well as a nozzle and two rags for her
- two extension tubes
- water glass
- mesh and bag for storing accessories
- instruction manual and warranty card
- flyers and collectible magnet
The user should keep in mind that putting the device and its accessories back into the box presents certain difficulties.
At first sight
Externally, the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner looks like a hybrid of a vacuum cleaner and a suitcase. The impressively sized body is equipped with wheels that make it easier to move the steam cleaner indoors.
On the right side there is a power button of an absolutely standard type. Yellow inserts with black protrusions on the sides of the case serve a purely decorative function.
The high handle also helps to move the device from place to place. The handle and body have stops around which you can wrap the power cord.
The cord length of 5.5 m is impressive. The user clearly does not have to look for an outlet in the rooms being cleaned, even large areas. The 2 m length of the steam hose will allow you to reach distant fragments or cleaning parts without moving the steam cleaner body. The device can also be used for cleaning rooms with high ceilings - the user will not need to place the body on a stepladder.
The steam nozzle holder is located on the front side of the housing. From above you can see the boiler lid, pressure gauge and the location where the steam hose is attached. All these details are highlighted in bright yellow.
Let's take a closer look at the steam nozzle. The holder is made of rubberized material, so that the steam nozzle rests securely and without slipping in the palm of your hand. There is a steam button right under your index finger. On the left side of it we see a steam supply blocking button. Its location is extremely successful - exactly under the thumb. At the top, in the wide part of the nozzle, there is a steam power regulator. You can rotate it to the right and left, respectively, to decrease or increase power. There is no need to remember the direction - there are hints on the body in the form of “+” and “−” signs. All controls are highlighted in bright yellow.
Nozzles, brushes and scrapers are attached to the nozzle. Listing the details and describing each of the accessories will take a lot of time, and is hardly necessary, so we will say only a few words. Some attachments are made entirely of plastic, while others contain other materials. Two types of brushes - brass and nylon - are presented in duplicate. Nylon brushes are available in both large and small diameters.
Scrub brushes are very interesting - the material of the working surface is a bit like the back of a dishwashing sponge. These brushes seem to be able to remove stubborn stains from delicate surfaces that might be scratched by rougher nylon brushes.
The glass scraper is double-sided. On one side there is a brush attached to which steam is supplied, on the other there is a rubber scraper for removing water from the glass. The length of the working surface is 22 cm, so with this nozzle you can quickly clean large areas of glass and mirrors.
Let's divide the nozzles into large and small. Large attachments - floor brush, plastic squeegee, glass squeegee, triangular brush and jet nozzle - attach directly to the steam nozzle. Small nozzles - brass brushes, small and large nylon brushes, scrub brushes and an angled nozzle are attached to the nozzle using an adapter - a jet nozzle.
Let’s take a separate look at the largest attachment in size – a floor brush. Its dimensions are 32x21.5 cm. The nozzle can be attached either directly to the steam nozzle or to extension tubes, which, in our opinion, is much more convenient when working. The length of each tube is 49 cm; when connected, they raise the nozzle above the floor by 84 cm. On the outside, the floor brush is equipped with a hinge that rotates approximately 60°. That is, the flat part of the mop can move gently during operation, which will make it easier to process the surface under or around pieces of furniture. Additionally, the manufacturer has provided the ability to fix the brush in a stationary state. Steam outlet holes are located along the center line of the working surface of the brush. Along them there are plastic Velcro strips for rags.
The two cloths included are identical. They are made of microfiber, and in size, which is quite reasonable, slightly protrude beyond the edges of the floor brush.
The floor brush can be equipped with a special attachment designed for cleaning heavily soiled floors. The nozzle is a large plastic grid with one row of hard bristles around the perimeter. It is fixed on the floor brush using two side latches.
The steam cleaner is equipped with a 500 ml measuring cup and accessories for storing attachments and brushes. On the walls of the plastic cup there are volume marks from 100 to 500 ml in increments of 100 ml. The bag is a simple fabric one, wide and low. All accessories, including extension tubes, fit perfectly into it.
A thorough inspection of the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner left us with the most favorable impression. The device is made of high quality, no flaws or traces of crooked assembly were found. It is easy to prepare for work; all connections and fixation of attachments are reliable and intuitive.
Instructions
The instruction manual is a 20-page A5 brochure. During its study, the user will learn about the purpose of the device in general and its attachments in particular, as well as how to interact with the device - from the preparation stage to care, storage and troubleshooting. The section with tips for cleaning individual surfaces seems interesting and useful.
The instructions, as is typical for Kitfort, are written logically. Information is presented consistently, in simple and understandable language. Some information is accompanied by images for clarity. In general, learning does not require much time and is not irritating.
Control
The steam cleaner is very easy to operate. After filling the boiler with water, the device must be connected to the network and the power button must be set to On.
When the pressure gauge needle moves into the green zone, the device is ready for use.
To spray steam, you need to press the steam button located under the handle of the steam nozzle. On the left side there is a steam lock button - this is a convenient feature when cleaning large surfaces. The steam supply regulator allows you to supply steam of different power - from minimum to maximum. To adjust the intensity, you must rotate the knob in the o or “−” direction. The regulator moves freely, smoothly, without steps.
Exploitation
No special preparation is required before use. You just need to understand the purpose of the nozzles and fill the boiler with water. The procedure couldn’t be simpler: unscrew the cap, then use a measuring cup and funnel to fill the tank with 1.8 liters of water. A glass is included in the kit; you need to find a funnel in your home storerooms. You can carefully pour water through the spout of an existing cup, but it’s easier to fill the boiler with a funnel.
In general, operating the device seems to be a simple and, in some places, even a pleasant task. The steam cleaner is easy to operate. However, you should remember that you are working with hot steam and, accordingly, follow simple rules and take some precautions.
If the water in the boiler runs out during operation, the steam should be released and the steam cleaner should be turned off. It is allowed to pour a new portion of water only into a completely cooled device. 1.8 liters of water is enough for quite a long working time. So, during testing on a once-filled boiler, it was possible to clean the entire kitchen, including the hood, stove, microwave, tiles, kitchen facades, and other small things.
Preparing for work takes seconds - select the desired attachment and put it on. Some attachments fit directly onto the steam nozzle, while others fit onto the jet nozzle. No special memorization or cheat sheet is required - the design and shape of the accessory will clearly tell you how the brush or scraper is fixed to the device.
The steam jet heats up for quite a long time - with the boiler maximally filled, about 10 minutes. The less water remains, the faster the device is ready for use. We assess the readiness of steam according to the instructions on the pressure gauge. As soon as the arrow enters the green zone, you can start washing, cleaning and disinfecting.
Describing the purpose of each of the attachments seems to us a thankless task and only increases the volume of the article. It is enough to work with the device a little to guess what is intended for what even without studying the instructions. Moreover, as you clean one item or surface, you can use several attachments - a triangular brush with an attachment for cleaning large surfaces, a scraper or round brushes - to remove old or dried-on dirt. The same notorious tiles can be cleaned with a scraper, a glass cleaning attachment, and brushes. The main thing is that all these accessories are included.
Using the device as a mop turned out to be comfortable and easy. The shape of the brush is convenient, the flat part is movable. There are only a couple of drawbacks - the corners are not washed, and not all floor coverings can be exposed to hot steam. Without exception, all brushes and attachments are very easy to use.
The cleaning procedure itself depends on the area of application of the device and the type of surface being cleaned, but in general it looks something like this: treat the surface with a jet of steam and bristles of the nozzle, then wipe it with a dry cloth or sponge to remove loose dirt. It is recommended to wipe the surface until it is dry. Metal objects may be hot, so care should be taken when cleaning them with steam.
When cleaning upholstered furniture or clothing, it is recommended to place a cloth over the triangular nozzle. We wrapped the nozzle with a piece of flannel, securing it to the handle with a regular rubber band.
When resuming work after a pause, water may be released from the nozzle of the nozzle - this is steam condensed on the walls of the hose. Therefore, before starting work, you can drain the water into a sink or onto a rag and wait for hot steam to appear.
When a jet of steam comes out, a rather loud sound is heard, so it is better to remove animals and children from the room during operation.
Overall, we really enjoyed working with the Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner. The reader will familiarize himself with the test results in more detail in the corresponding section.
Care
At the end of the work, it is recommended to drain the remaining water to avoid salt deposits. The body of the steam cleaner can be wiped with a damp cloth. Wash dirty brushes and attachments with soap or detergent. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The floor cloth can be washed in a washing machine at 60°C. In general, there are no special maintenance requirements in terms of cleaning the body and attachments.
It is recommended to flush the boiler after every five fillings. The procedure is simple: fill the boiler with water, screw on the lid and shake the steam cleaner vigorously. This will separate the scale deposits that have settled at the bottom of the boiler and can be drained along with the water.
If your water is hard, more serious descaling surgery may be required. In this case, chemicals are used. When carrying out such cleaning, it is enough to follow the instructions for use of the chemical used. To reduce scale formation, the instructions recommend using distilled water.
Our measurements
The power of the steam cleaner turned out to be slightly higher than stated and ranged from 1630 to 1690 W. For 50 minutes of operation at maximum steam power, the device consumed 1.365 kWh.
During heating, the device makes virtually no sound; sometimes you can hear the quiet hiss of evaporating water. During operation, the steam escaping from the nozzle of the nozzle makes quite a loud noise. The noise level depends on the nozzle used.
Practice tests
We warn potential users: it’s difficult to stop when working with the unit. Well, it’s true, having started with clearly planned tests, the author caught herself an hour and a half later, enthusiastically cleaning the tiles in the bathroom. Moreover, this event was not at all part of the plans for testing the steam cleaner.
Cleaning the kitchen, kitchen furniture and kitchen appliances
We started cleaning, as always, by cleaning the kitchen hood. Over the long winter, its outer surface was covered with an even layer of greasy dust. You may get the impression that we are not very clean, but no. We deliberately accumulated all this dirt on test surfaces in anticipation of a miracle device.
At first they used a scraper, then they realized that the power of the distributed jet was insufficient. Therefore, we replaced the attachment with a round nylon brush, and then with a scrub brush. Things went more efficiently: the dust flowed off along with the water, and the dirt was scrubbed off with a brush. Finally, wipe the hood with a dry cloth.
The hood did not look perfect - greasy dust that has been sitting on the metal for a long time is difficult to remove without the use of chemically aggressive substances. However, if you do such cleaning at least once a month, then, in our opinion, no household chemicals will be needed.
Next we moved on to the glass-ceramic surface of the stove. The day before the stove was specially dirty.
We secured the scraper and walked several times in all directions along the surface of the glass. We completed cleaning by wiping the stove with a dry cloth. Voila! The stove is clean! Let us repeat that for cleaning without the use of cleaning products, this is an ideal result that can satisfy those who, for example, are allergic to chemicals, or those who do not use cleaning products for ideological reasons.
Next it was the turn of the tiles. The tiles can be cleaned with either a large glass scraper or other attachments. Since the tile also had dried dirt, during its cleaning we used two attachments: a small scraper, which covers a relatively large area, and a round nylon brush to remove dried splashes and other traces of active cooking.
Fast, easy and effective. Well, what else is needed to help the housewife cope with the routine and thankless job of cleaning the kitchen?
But that's not all. The instructions indicate that you can clean stoves, ovens and microwaves. A microwave oven seemed like a suitable object for experimentation.
Cleaned with large and small round nylon brushes. Everything is fine, but the process is not obvious - the inner chamber is instantly filled with steam, and the user is forced to scrape the surface by touch. The result can be assessed as average.
Firstly, it’s still better to see what exactly you are cleaning. Secondly, old or dried stains need to be rubbed well. But, we repeat: for people who do not accept the use of household chemicals, a steam cleaner is an excellent alternative to long-term washing with laundry soap or baking soda.
They looked around their surroundings thoughtfully. The gaze lingered on the kitchen facades. The facades are made of MDF. In theory, they cannot be cleaned with steam. When we can’t, but really want to, we follow our desires. Especially when there is such a compelling reason as testing. We tried steaming a piece of the lower corner façade. It seems like nothing bad happened. Steamed a larger surface. They wiped it and looked - no, the paint had not peeled off, the canvas had not been distorted. We went all over the door. Once again we made sure that the facade was not damaged.
Oh, let's go! In about half an hour, using a triangular brush and a large nylon brush, all facades, both made of MDF and glass, were treated with steam. Now we use a stamp, but this is exactly what it looked like: the kitchen sparkled. The main thing is that it is fast and easy. Another illustration is the bottom surface of wall-hung kitchen cabinets. Was:
Became:
Of course, the work in the kitchen didn't end there. The kitchen baseboards, the gaps between the kitchen table and the sink, and all the far corners and crevices were also cleaned. This is extremely easy to do with a jet nozzle.
Result: excellent.
Cleaning the bathroom
After cleaning the kitchen, it became clear that working with Kitfort KT-933 is easy and pleasant. We started by cleaning the tiles.
We mainly used a brush to clean glass - we moistened the surface of the tile well, while at the same time lightly passing the bristles over it. All dust and dirt safely flowed down along with the condensing steam. Heavily contaminated areas were rubbed with a nylon brush. We finished cleaning by wiping the wet tiles with a dry towel.
The jet nozzle perfectly cleans tile joints, as well as narrow spaces or crevices between pieces of furniture and the floor.
For example, in literally two passes the space between the floor and the sink platform was cleaned with steam.
Result: excellent.
Cleaning radiators
After the end of the heating season, the radiators looked, frankly, dusty.
Unfortunately, the shape of the radiators is such that there is no way to get inside, so the flow of steam only washed the dust down a little - it was not possible to remove the dirt so that it could be reached with a dry cloth. External surfaces were steamed using a triangular brush with an attachment, then wiped with a dry cloth.
An even clearer example is with the side. Was:
Became:
The procedure turned out to be quite labor-intensive and did not solve the main problem - cleaning the radiator grille from the inside. However, the result is determined not so much by the features of the steam cleaner, but by the shape of the radiators.
Result: good.
Window cleaning
Anyone who has ever washed windows knows that the main effort is spent not so much on washing the glass, but on cleaning the frame. In this aspect, we looked at the steam cleaner with hope. It has so many attachments and such power that a jet of steam should effortlessly knock out dirt and dust from all the grooves and recesses of the frame. The only concern is related to temperature - whether cleaning with hot steam will damage the rubber seal and whether it will deform the plastic of the windows.
Therefore, processing began from one corner. Place a round nylon brush on the jet nozzle and turn the power up to maximum. After steaming over a small section of the plastic door, we carefully examined the result. Neither the seal nor the surface of the plastic changed their appearance in any way. Then we continued our work with enthusiasm. However, steam did not always cope with removing contaminants from crevices or from the surface of the plastic. Despite this, cleaning the frame with a steam cleaner is much easier than washing it by hand.
With glass, the device performed excellently. They turned on the supply of a powerful jet of steam, walked along the glass with the side of the scraper with a brush, then turned off the steam supply, pressed the rubber side of the scraper against the glass and moved it down. Dirt along with water flowed onto the floor. Fast and with excellent results.
Result: good for frames and excellent for glass.
Cleaning the stroller
The instructions say that the steam jet can be used to clean bicycle frames and wheels. The bicycles did not need washing, but the baby stroller at the end of spring turned out to be indecently dirty. And besides, the dog forgot himself one day and decided to use the cradle as a lounger. "ABOUT!" - we thought. — “Another great test for a steam cleaner. We’ll wash and disinfect.”
To clean the cradle, we used a triangular nozzle by placing a piece of cloth on it. The fabric was secured to the handle of the nozzle using a regular elastic band for money. Treat the stained area once. Then the second - no result except moistened tissue. Unfortunately, the stain from dirty paws has not gone away. In general, we initially had doubts about the success of the experiment, so our fears about the ineffectiveness of steam cleaning of fabric surfaces were only confirmed.
But the device did a good job with the stroller frame. Cleaned with a round brush.
Dirt from cracks and narrow places was removed using a jet nozzle. The process turned out to be long. However, there was no need to wash the floor after cleaning the frame: most of the steam evaporated without condensing.
Result: good - for cleaning the frame.
Floor cleaning
We conducted this test to answer two questions: is the floor nozzle easy to use and will the temperature of the escaping steam damage the surface of the linoleum.
The experiment was carried out with the supply of the maximum steam jet blocked, so as not to continuously press the button. The rag quickly became damp. The head of the nozzle turned out to be very convenient - its flat part rotates smoothly in a circle limited by the hinge. Due to its shape, the mop does not wash corners very well, but large open spaces are a pleasure to clean with its help.
A microfiber cloth glides easily over the surface, removing dust and absorbing all contaminants. However, please note that the temperature of the escaping steam is quite high - the rag was hot. In our case, the linoleum was not deformed or damaged. But we wouldn’t risk cleaning parquet floors. However, before treating any floor coverings with a steam jet, you need to make sure that the material can withstand high humidity and temperature.
Result: good.
conclusions
The Kitfort KT-933 steam cleaner performed well during all the tests that fell to it and left us with the most favorable impression. We have no comments regarding the quality of workmanship and assembly. It is easy to manage and even easier to operate. There are no problems either with assembly and disassembly, or with determining the purpose of the nozzles. The scope of application of a steam cleaner is very wide - steam cleaning and disinfection of kitchens and bathrooms, cleaning fabric items - curtains and drapes, washing tiles and tile joints, washing windows, glass and mirrors, cleaning hard-to-reach places, washing individual parts of cars, motorcycles and bicycles, etc. etc. etc. A large number of attachments and high power of the steam jet make the job of maintaining order in the house efficient and less labor-intensive. The volume of the boiler allows you to operate the device for quite a long time without pauses for refilling with water.
The disadvantages (though very conditionally) include the dimensions of the device. The user needs to provide a place to store the steam cleaner. In terms of the space it takes up, it can be compared to a vacuum cleaner. Also, using a steam cleaner, we were unable to remove dirt from the fabric surface. We think that removing dirt from heat-resistant oilcloths and blinds will not be difficult, but it is better to clean fabric surfaces using more conventional methods.
pros
- multifunctionality
- a large number of attachments
- effectively handles almost any home steam cleaning task
- powerful jet of steam
- large boiler volume
Minuses
- big size
- does not remove dirt from fabric

The final selection criteria are reviews from steam cleaner owners. You should read them carefully and draw the right conclusions for yourself.
What to look for when choosing a steam cleaner?
If this is your first time encountering this product, then a reasonable question arises: how to choose a steam cleaner? Let's look at the basic rules:
- The higher the power and volume of the tank, the more efficient and convenient the cleaning will be. Units with an indicator of 1500 W are considered low-power. For good cleaning you need a pressure of 3.5 bar.
- Before purchasing, check the availability of attachments included in the kit. The more and more varied there are, the better and better the cleaning will be. You won't need to buy additional accessories and spend money.
- Check the operating time of the steam cleaner on one refill. The indicator varies from 5 to 20 minutes. This largely depends on the tank volume and power.
- Remember that the longer the hose, the lower the steam pressure at the outlet. Therefore, consider models with short hoses.
