Remember it's hot and wet at the end of the hose. It will drip. As long as you know this and take precautions, such as covering things that may be affected by water, steaming over appliances shouldn't be a problem. I have used it sparingly on painted drywall walls and haven't inadvertently removed any paint yet. Steam will loosen wallpaper and maybe whatever the finish is on your cabinets. Household cleaners are still my cleaning method of choice on delicate surfaces. Works great on real linoleum flooring.

You weren't specific on what kind of walls or type of cabinets. I originally bought this to clean grout on my ceramic floor...it worked just ok...but then i used it to remove wallpaper...worked excellent! so if you want to clean walls with wallpaper I suggest not unless you want the wallpaper to be removed. I also would not recommend on any kind of home walls like sheetrock, plaster or even panelling (if people still have that)...I just used it on my cinderblock walls in my basement and it worked great...also on cement basement floor and ceramic tile (didn't clean grout very well though)...I use it every other month on my tiled shower walls for a good clean. I would not recommend using it on good wooden cabinets...I just redid my kitchen a couple years ago and was told just to use a soft rag with warm water and for those tougher greasy spots like over the stove, a little bit of mild soap and warm water than then just go over it with a clean warm rag. I definitely would not recommend this steam cleaner on wooden cabinets. Hope this helps!

i've have not tried the steamer on walls, but will do cabinets with caution and will do a pretty god job on cook top.

I used these on oak cabinets that were probably installed in the 80s. We were in a vacation rental that we were leasing for ski season and I just got to grossed out by how greasy the cabinets were. I used it, definitely cleaned it, but I think this was more due to lack of maintenance, the stain on the cabinets came off with the grease. It definitely felt drier and abrasive to the touch but at the same time, it looked a lot cleaner. The landlady never complained to us about it.

Well not sure what kind of walls you're talking about...i can tell u I just used on my cinder block basement walls and worked great..i would not use on regular home walls especially wallpaper unless u want the wallpaper to come off..I've actually used it for that and it worked fantastic. If u have good wood cabinets I would use just warm water with a soft cloth not this..u don't want hot steam on the cabinets. Hope this helps

It removed all of the build up on my refrigerator from oils transferred through the air, and just kitchen grime. I also was able to clean my stove front so it looked brand new with no drips, marks or spots. I did not use it on the top of the stove for residue there, that isn't stainless on my stove and requires a different type of cleaner. Hope that helps!

it only weighs a few pounds so it shouldn't be a problem but it may be a little awkward, not really designed to clean walls. The head pivots (front to back) so I guess it could be done> Good luck.

Yes. I sometimes do that when I over stuff. It's the best and last kitchen can I will ever own.

This unit would work fine for a parts cleaner. You will have to do some research on the appropriate media to use on the parts you want to clean.

Yes it can. That's exactly what I bought it for. However, it did absolutely nothing for any part of my oven, and the tip of the nozzle came off while changing attachments the first day, and I take care of my stuff. It did work great for cleaning inside and outside of kitchen cabinets. Would have ordered a replacement if I felt the nozzle design wasn't bit inferior.

Yes, I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Same as below as to clean-up.

The "spot scrubber" itself will not get close to a corner or wall. It cleans in a circular pattern that can only get to within about 1" of the wall and then just a swipe past it in an arc. The hose attachment will get within about 1/2" of the wall though but you have to do the cleaning manually like any other small carpet cleaner machine.

Maybe. It's not extremely powerful, but it does clean dust and crumbs well in the kitchen. It gets the crevice around my glass top range clean

I clean the floors, windows, bathroom walls, etc. it is absolutely the BEST mop. It gets under the refrigerator. It turns and gets everywhere - best purchase I ever made

Yes, as long as it isn't a non-stick surface you are cleaning.I would not for fear of ruining the bevel at the edge of the scraper.Buy an inexpensive broad putty knife for your griddle.

yes ... just bring the cord that attaches the cleaning system to the wall ... hold the shaver underneath running water to clean

I have tried/used this on my stainless steel countertops (but not a cooktop). It does work. A little goes a long way, though, and you have to be sure to keep rubbing (w a paper towel or soft, lintless rag) to make sure you remove all the restorer before you use the countertop again.

They make a spray for that purpose. I wet the cooktop with hot water with vinegar and and scrub if necessary with a little baking soda. Cleans it beautifully. You may have to let the hot water and vinegar sit if badly stained.

Yes. The brushed versions can be used on both gas, electric and induction cooktops.

Yes you can. It will clean and polish but don't use it to try to remove scratches.

I only use mine on my counter top. I think it might pick up too much heat from being next to working burners.
