Amazon.com Product Description
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 DIY'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. --C. Dwight Barnett

 Just buy it! December 29, 2008

If you are planning to take down wallpaper, and perhaps might do so again in the future, just buy this unit. I've used rental machines, and this one basically worked as well as any of them ever did. It's basically just a tea kettle with a hose and a steaming plate, but it beats using spray-on remover *any day*!! And at the low price of this unit, it's worth the investment.
It's not a cheap copy of a working version, it's an inexpensive unit that works great!
Just buy it.

I had started taking down a room of wallpaper only to find out it was not going to come down. It took me over an hour to get small strips off using my hands and a blade. I found the steamer on line and it came within two days. It took me two days and all the wallpaper was off and the room was ready for paint. It pealed off like butter at times. I plan to use it in another room next and know it will do a great job. Well worth the price, plus it stores away very nicely.

While this steamer does get the wallpaper off, I just wish that the steam plate was larger. It works best if you leave the steam plate on the wall for at least 20 seconds. Then it takes 2 seconds to scrape off the wallpaper. If the plate covered more surface area, the job would get done quicker. I am currently looking for a larger steam plate since I have a very large room to do. I still would recommend this product without hesitation. It is nice not to have to use any chemicals.

I had spent days trying to take off old wallpaper which had been put up without any wall sizing or preparation. Tried everything including vinegar and hot water, the commercial spray preparation, an old steam iron, etc. Finally, decided to order the Wagner Wallpaper Remover and had the room finished in one day! It is worth every penny spent on it and the water lasts about an hour and a half. Great product!

I ordered this and used it to remove wallpaper that has been in my grandmothers house for over thirty years and it did the job. The only bad thing about the steamer is that you do have to watch how much you steam the drywall. The problem with it is if you stem too little it doesn't budge and too much you damage the wall so i would just be careful with the steam. You will probubly end up having to patch the drywall in a few places if you have an older home so plan on that expense.
