Eave 10-in-1: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Large 450 ml tank: about 10 min of steam, more than the usual 250 ml handhelds
- Versatile (10-in-1): ten attachments for bathroom, kitchen, windows, upholstery & car
- Chemical-free at 3 bar: loosens dirt & grease with just water
- 5 metre cable: good reach without constantly changing sockets
Points of criticism
- Handheld only: unsuitable for large floors, use a steam mop or canister unit for those
- Limited with hard encrusted dirt: steam power reaches its limits with dried-on dirt
- Heating up after refilling: work is interrupted for refilling

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Eave 10-in-1 in everyday use: large 450 ml tank (about 10 min of steam, more than the usual 250 ml handhelds) and versatile (10-in-1) (ten attachments for bathroom, kitchen, windows, upholstery & car). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: handheld only. It is unsuitable for large floors, so use a steam mop or canister unit for those.
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
