I give 5 stars because it helped me get rid of wallpaper that I would not have been able to remove. I had two types of wallpaper in my home.Type 1: I was able to grip the wallpaper and tear the top layer off, then saturated with a hot water spray bottle and scraped the bottom layer off with a scraper (putty knife). We did not need the steamer for this type of paper. However, the steamer would be useful in removing more of the residual glue and likely remove the lower paper quicker.Type 2: This wallpaper was stuck on the wall and would not peal off at all. With the help of the steamer, the first layer tore off similar to type 1 above mostly leaving the second paper layer. The second layer pealed right off with ease after using some steam. I then used the steamer to remove some of the glue left over from type 1.Some things learned. The unit can leak a little. I put the steamer on folded towel and then on a short box (produce box). The steamer 'box' gets pretty hot and I worried it may damage the floor (hardwood).The only negative I had with the steamer; I could not tell where the water line was in the steamer when looking at the outside box.The steamer will damage any wood molding that is varnished if you steam too long. I put foil over the molding. Also using the small attachment instead of the large white one gave me more control of the steam, especially near the edges of the molding. In general, using the smaller, black attachment, I would steam an area for about 3-5 seconds and move on, or slowly moving the steamer and pulling the top portion of the paper right behind. Then I would re-steam 1-2 seconds and scrape with a putty knife. The lower paper came off with ease.With one gallon of water in the steamer, I could remove 2 to 3 sections of wall paper ~ 20 inches wide by 3 feet before the water level was getting too low. One section as defined above was also removed in about 15 minutes.   Read Less

I had to buy this 10 years ago as the home we bought had either wall paper or painted wall paper, even the pantry, closets, and garage. This steamer is a work horse. I also use it to steam clean the toilet. A must have.   Read Less
