Wagner Spraytech 725 Wallpaper Steamer for Easy Removal, 2 Steam Plates

I love, love, love this Wagner steamer!! We bought a house that was filled with wallpaper and after some research this was the one that seemed most effective - and boy is it! It made such easy work of the stripping process, helping the paper to come off in large, long sheets without little bits left behind! It comes with 2 steam heads and I used the large one most. The small one came in very handy when working between the windows or window and wall, and other smaller areas. It takes plain tap water (unless you have hard water) and the steam lasts about 1 - 1.5 hours. The handle on the large head is a bit uncomfortable in the way it's made, but that's not a deal breaker. Also there is no on/off switch, so while you're actually removing the paper the steamer is still steaming. This wasn't an issue when I had a helper (one to steam, one to peel) but working alone it felt like a waste of steam though, again, not a deal breaker for me! The good definitely outweighs the bad! Overall, I LOVE this steamer and am so thankful I bought it! Small price to pay for such convenience and time saving!

The quality of the steamer for removing wallpaper that has been over 20 years old is amazing. I appreciate the larger panel that is provided to cover more of the wall space when steaming. Based on other reviews, I do agree that this gets extremely hot and you have to be careful when you put it down. I did get a small burn. Additionally, I saw some complaints about the amount of time it took to heat up or how long the steamer would last, but that was not a problem for me. Anyone that has a tedious job of removing wallpaper should invest in this very affordable steamer.

After taking 5 layers of wall paper off of a bathroom by using Diff and scrapers, I decided to bite the bullet and by this steamer. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying one sooner. Easy to set up. It takes a while to get to steam but once it does it glides over the wall easily, loosening your scored paper. I stripped a whole bedroom in a fraction of the time it would have taken me using Diff. I recommend having an old towel or two near by for your hands and occasional drip, but this is the cleanest most non toxic way to remove wallpaper. It just peels off easily once it is steamed. About the unit itself: Wagner is a reliable brand. It's a little pricey for what you get as it's plastic for the most part and seems kinda cheaply made. BUT it gets the job done. I love that it has two different steam plate sizes as the smaller one is easier for tight spaces and the larger good for large wall spaces. Over all I think it will be durable and given the time savings well worth the investment.

My large kitchen had floor to ceiling wallpaper and I was in a time crunch to remove it. I started with a smaller clothes steamer and had a minute amount of success but looked around at the daunting reality of all the remained after hours of work and refilling the resevoir every 15 minutes. I found the Wagner 725 and ordered it for next day delivery. I removed as much wallpaper in 30 minutes as it had taken me in hours the day before. The two different sized steamer plates were GREAT. The length of the hose definitely worked well (it's long), and the good size water tank gave me close to two hours before it needed a refill. The only slightly irritating thing was waiting the 10-12 minutes for the water to heat sufficiently to create the steam. I'm incredibly grateful to have found this product and to have had Amazon carry it and to get it so quickly! Now I think I'll go into the wallpaper removal business :)

This is such a lifesaver for removing wallpaper!

Our whole house is wallpapered. Prior to this, we were using a clothing steamer to remove the wallpaper. This is, to put it lightly, a chore. One of our bedroom walls took 4 evenings after work to get it all taken down. When we bought this steamer, we were able to de-wallpaper the opposite wall in 4 hours! We were completely blown away! It’s already a great value for what it does. If you account for how much time this thing cuts out, it’s even better! Seems to be built well. We’ve had it for months, and we have no complaints. The long hose is awesome. It gives more flexibility, and makes the process easier - it almost weighs nothing at all since the reservoir sits on the ground. Compared to the clothing steamer, it’s lighter, more efficient, needs to be refilled WAY less, and is just easier to use. Why didn’t we buy this years ago? In our experience, the steamer seems to run for 2 hours when filled up. This is more than a reasonable amount of time. The only drawback is that you have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down to refill. Good to know, but not a dealbreaker. If I have any more serious complaints, it’s that once it’s on, it’s on. You can’t pause other than shutting it off. This makes it difficult to use with kids or dogs around. This is more than a bit annoying, but not as annoying as de-wallpapering for days on end. Although, in my experience, you don’t really want pets or kids in the room anyway. Just giving the bad with the good. But for us - it’s perfect. We LOVE this item. We would happily buy it again. And we plan to lend it to any of our friends who need to get the job done fast, and efficiently! If you are using a clothing steamer to de-wallpaper - even for a single project - do yourself a favor and buy this item. You won’t regret it.

While I was spray washing the pool deck, it accidentally fell in the pool. It stills works like a charm. This was an excellent purchase. I am now using it to spray wash the garage door to prepare it for sanding, wash, primer, and paint.

I hesitated to buy this item due to the mixed reviews, but am so very glad I did! It exceeded my expectations. Yes, it takes about 10-12 minutes to produce steam - the water has to heat and start producing steam. That is not a flaw - that is simply science in action. A full tank can last 2 hours. I was removing a thick wallpaper and did not want to use a scoring tool, however the steamer quickly softened the adhesive below the paper and made it simple to tear off. The paper backing remained on the wall, but the steamer softened that almost immediately and I simply used a scraper to remove that… Steamer in one hand and scraper in the other - it could not gone any easier! Great product for the cost: my painter was going to charge $450 to remove the paper in this room and the steamer helped me remove it under 3 hours!

Works really well, watched a few YouTube videos before using. Removing wall paper is always a pain, but this machine makes it a lot easier.

Used for taking up nasty old linoleum, I put 5 days of steady use on it with no issues.

Fonctionne a merveille! J'avais du vieux papier peint et avec cette machine j'ai pu le retirer rapidement. Je vous le recommande.

This steamer is amazing, we were absolutely floored with how well and fast it worked! Great purchase. It's very easy to use but like any steamer, take caution when using hot steam.

This thing is great. Makes wallpaper removal not a dream at all but definitely better than if you don't have it.
