0ur opinion: :Removing wallpaper often ends up in removing part of the sheet rock or plaster. No matter how careful you are with the putty knife you’re going to do more damage than intended. For years contractors have relied on the power of steam to separate the paper from the surface and now that same power is available for the DlY’er in the Wagner 705 Electric Wallpaper Steamer. Simply place the 8-inch or 11-inch steam plate cover against the paper surface and viola, the paper practically peels itself. You can operate the Steamer for up to 1-1/4 hours on a single fill of the 1-gallon tank plus the 11-foot hose allows the user to move freely about the rooms without disturbing the tank.

* Wallpaper Steamer ...
The steamer works great. Wish I had purchased the small wand. I would recommend it. Good value for the price.

Excellent product
I have used the Wagner Power Steamer for 2 different types of wallpaper removal jobs, and I was amazed at how fast it worked each time. I would say it cuts your time in less than half, plus you don't have to smell the nasty fumes from the chemical spray, or spend money on rental of those big heavy machines.

* Powerful, Inexpensive Little Steamer ...
Last yera I purchased a house that was covered in outdated 80's wallpaper. All three of the large upstairs bedroom, the family room, the foyer, and one of the bathrooms were completely covered. I decided to try this little wonder and it worked GREAT. One of the rooms even had wallpaper (and lots of thick paste) on the ceiling and I was able to clean it right up. Before I bought this I tried various sprays and scrapers, but this ultimately ended up working the best for me. I used a regular metal scraper after I'd steamed an area and the paper flew right off in most spots. If you have many lawyers of wallpaper and paint (like we did in one bathroom), then don't bother with trying to steam it off... it won't work. You'll have to either put up new drywall or fresh wallpaper. But if you have only one or two layers of paper/backing over smooth drywall, this baby is awesome. Highly recommended.

Just great!
When I had to strip 4 rooms of vinyl-clad wallpaper, I followed the advice of friends and the man in the paint store: perforate the wallpaper with a Zinzer Paper Tiger, then use DIF gel and DIF spray. What a waste of time and money! The Paper Tiger worked fine, but the chemicals hardly had an affect on the glue. It took me hours to do a small section. Visions of re-sheetrocking the whole room raced through my mind.
Enter the Wagner Steamer, recommended by none other than Amazon reviews like this one. I was saved! This machine works wonders, and is very easy to set up and use. My local rental agency gets 20 bucks a day to rent a steamer, and I can own this one (and lend it to friends, of course) for 50 bucks---do the math! I'm delighted!
So here's what I learned: turn on the radio, remove all switch and outlet covers, tape a dropcloth to cover your baseboard heat or base moulding, perforate the paper (assuming it's vinyl clad) with the Paper Tiger, don some gloves, and go to town. If you can, try peeling the outer layer of vinyl first without bothering to perforate it, then use the steamer to remove the yuck (scientific term for glue and paper mixture) by steaming and scraping.
Local painters wanted 600 bucks a room to strip wallpaper, so my 50 dollar investment is paying off!

* Great Steamer ! ...
I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this steamer but I have to say that it was money well spent.
I rented a steamer once and it was messy and cumbersome. This Wagner wasn't. It's small and easy to move around. I did a 12x12 room without having to refill it with water, and it worked like a champ.
I suggest buying this if you have more than one room to remove wallpaper. The previous owner of my house plastered the house with wallpaper for some unknown reason and now I can easily remove it with this Wagner steamer.
