    Thank you for taking the time to update your initial review.
    I bought my Beldray steam mop yesterday and haven't used it yet.
    Mine was bought in Poland and I don't know if I have the Central European version or simply a newer version, but there is a possibility that took your comments into account. The handle is in the centre now (over the whole unit). The other difference is that the cleaning part is not in the shape of a triangle, it's rectangular.
    I loved your video, your wit and your charm. Congratulations on your business, I'm sure it's blooming by now. Cheers!

    There now follows a short biography and comment.....
    First of all, welcome back. Second of all, congrats on starting the business. You have my full sympathy. Having done it myself in the past I know the horrendous amount of work, thought, fear and Champers it can take to get things moving. Still, once you are able to employ minions to do all the horrible stuff, it does get easier.
    Thanks for this review of the review. On the basis of it, I shall finally buy one. I always suspected the claims about oven cleaning and so on were tosh and the quality, or lack thereof, of the attachments were ringing alarm bells. However, my main worry was the rest of the plastic bits and how they would stand up to frequent use. The principle of steam cleaning I like very much.
    A short (or longish) aside about the name of my YT character. Stop reading here if you really don't give a stuff.
    Bob Justice was a very dear and good friend of mine for many years. Sadly killed in a motorcycle crash through no fault of his own (Hit a patch of diesel on the road during an overtake). He was funny, kind, talented and a great father and husband to Joy, his wife. He was also one of the very few people who got along with my scratchy personality and he became a bit of a mentor to me. A great loss.
    One of his endearing traits was his huge generosity and kindness. I saw him do many acts that displayed these traits, quite spontaneously. Once, we were walking through town and he saw a homeless man sitting against a wall wearing a pair of shoddy plimsolls on his feet on a very, cold day. He walked up and said, "What size feet are you?" The somewhat bemused man said, "Nine. Why?" Bob said, "Perfect!" He then pulled off his motorcycle boots, handed them to the man and said, "These will be warmer than those things and will last you a few more years." He then handed me twenty pounds and said, "Go and buy him something to eat. I will meet you back here later." He whispered, "Don't give him money. Only food and stuff" and padded off in his socks.
    When he came back half an hour later he was wearing new motorcycle boots and carrying a large brown overcoat he had bought from a charity shop and a bag of shaving gear. He handed them to the chap bid him farewell and we took our leave. Such a lovely chap and such a rare human being, sadly, these days.
    *How I got my name.*
    Bob thought Dom Deluise, known mainly for his work in Burt Reynolds films, was hysterical. Especially his character, 'Captain Chaos' who would suddenly and randomly appear and attempt to do good..... ineptly.

    Bob adopted the idea. In a supermarket queue once, a woman could not afford the final bill for her groceries and was asking the check out girl on the till to remove various items to bring the cost down.
    Spotting this, Bob, in a very loud and exaggerated voice cried, "A women! In England! In this time of plenty! Struggling? It shall not be!" Then he raised a fist in the air and shouted, "IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE!" He then paid for all of her groceries including what she was taking out.
    The woman, of course, was deeply embarrassed and tried to stop him but he said to her, "Is a little embarrassment not a cheap and fair price to pay to put good food on the table for your children?" She nodded and he said, in his booming voice, "You have been aided by Captain Justice. Tell no one of my identity. Tis a great secret!"
    The crowd of us watching this were giggling but we fell into fits when he handed the girl on the till the single tin of beans and when she scanned it and said, "35 pence" he cried. "How much! I can't afford that price" and left the store..... beanless.
    So yeah. The name is both a tribute to a great man and friend and it fits my joyous activities of exposing bullshitting politicians and half wits on You Tube as my play lists will testify.
    If you made it this far, thanks again. Great to see you back. I appreciate the wit and talent and I think you could get quite a following on the "Tube" given time.

      Amazing!
      He sounds like an incredible chap and as you say, a loss to the world when there are very few individuals like that around. I wonder how many other people have hidden stories relating to their online screen names and avatars?
      Many thanks for the vote of confidence regarding the business too. It's getting there, slowly - always more to be done though!
      Will have to see if I can work a Captain Chaos reference into a video at some point!
      Regards,
      C

      I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Thank you for sharing his story. I live a thousand miles away, a stranger, but I'll keep him on my mind and share his story with whomever wants to listen :)

    Aug 2018 ..So it has more or less doubled in price, I paid £60. I'm just lying down after cleaning the grout on the kitchen floor but I'm not as worn out as the grouting brush. It has splayed in all direction. I find it runs out of steam from time to time.

      That is rather a lot, ours was bought from a discount shop almost two years ago now. I rather thought it was one of their older models even then, hence the discounted price. Not sure why it's gone up - unless it's been re-released as a newer model?
