We’re huge Bissell fans, but their compact model—the Steam Shot—is being recalled due to a risk of potential burns caused by leaking hot water or steam. Users can get a refund or a Bissell store credit. See if your model is on the Bissell recall list.

We have no doubt Bissell will be back soon with something safe and powerful, but until then, we’re not giving up on steam cleaning. We recently tested the best steam cleaners, and our favorite handheld model, the PurSteam Handheld Portable Steam Cleaner, is available from Amazon for just $44.99 (a $5 savings with coupon)!

PurSteam Handheld Portable Steam Cleaner

One of the things we liked best about PurSteam was how comfortable it was to use—its ergonomic handle reduced hand fatigue, and we love the safety lock on the handle. This is an excellent pick for homes with pets or kids. The PurSteam cleaner heats up fast and then produces a steady stream of steam that’s great for softening built-up grime or loosening old wallpaper for removal. It comes with several accessories, and you can get it for $44.99 from Amazon just by using the $5-off coupon.
