Ratings & Reviews for Wagner 705 Power Wallpaper Steamer

Worked well then did not

My 705 worked well for a couple of sheets of paper and then it ran out of water. I filled the unit about halfway and it never worked after that. I tried letting it cool down, I emptied and refilled again with tap water and did everything for the overheat switch would reset but to not avail. I think the overheat switch is not bad as I have verified a good working outlet and checked all connections. I wish there was a reset button and a power light.

Best way to remove wallpaper!

Bought this instead of the chemical remover. Super easy to use and removes all off the wallpaper residue cleanly off the drywall! So much easier and less expensive than the chemical method.

Nice product for the price

Purchased to steam wood for bending. Works well for that application.

WAGNER FRAUDS

The steamer worked fine for a total of 3 times. Then the heating component stopped working. Wagner will NOT PAY FOR YOU TO SHIP THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BACK TO THEM. I paid for the shipping to my house, and they want me to box their defective product and pay to ship it back to them. This is complete bull, and I will NEVER buy another Wagner product again because of their lack of quality product and customer service.

Pretty amazing product

I have been using 2 steamers for 2hrs/day for the last two years to steam my horses hay. I am just amazed that this product has been run for that many hours without any issues!

Wagner 705 Power Wallpaper Steamer

Purchased from Lowe's in Gallatin, TN. This thing did what it was suppose to do and it did it well especially if the walls have been sized prior to the paper being applied. If the walls were not sized, it might be harder. Keeping the steam on longer may help in this case.

Arrived in non-working order. Would not heat. Returned to store. Luckily I also ordered the 715 and that worked.

Excellent, saved me days!

I bought the Wagner 705 Power Wallpaper Steamer because I wanted to remove two painted over layers of wallpaper from a 450 sq. ft. ceiling, a task I had been putting off for years. In fact, I was guilty of at least two layers of the paint. In the past, I have rented similar items but since this was a big job I decided to see about buying one, which I did after reading the reviews and I'm glad I bought this one. It is lightweight, easy to use and the two layers of wallpaper along with unknown lay...

The only way to remove wallpaper...!!!

After spending an entire weekend using chemicals and liquid fabric softener and other DYI tricks I ended up getting this unit to finish the job. All I can say is that this is a GOD SEND! In just a little over 2 hours I finished the room where it took 2 full days to do 1 wall before. The system is simple enough to work, fill with water to the top of the sticker and plug it in. It take about 5-10 minutes to boil the water, then the fun begins. The plug wire is about 6 feet long and the hose is ...

worth every penny

fully recommend, it takes the past and paper in one shot, only reason I don't give 5 stars is I wish the steam plate was the width of the wall paper

Incredible !

I recently purchased a Power Steamer 705. I had always heard the horror stories about removing wall paper so I put it off until my wife laid down the law!! Anyway, I have a background in product development and manufacturing so I'm always looking at a product from a critical eye, from design, price, is it user friendly and of course does it work. So I brought my purchase home from our local Lowe's and went to work. Easy set up-good, written directions- good, watched a you-tube video- very helpfu...

It's Magic !!

I had never removed wall paper before mainly because of the horror stories I'd heard. My wife and I wanted to give our kitchen a face lift, so I read the reviews made my purchase and hoped for the best. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the wall paper and glue came off. This machine exceeded all my expectations.It's easy to set up,easy to use. The attachments are perfect and the price is unbelievable. Please watch some you tube videos first and your on your way. I did our entire kitchen in ...

Excellent!!!

After putting off removing the wallpaper from my daughter's room for 2 years I decided to give this machine a chance. I had tried using DIF and a wallpaper scoring tool... but it was so time consuming, and messy! This machine exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier that I bought it! I had the whole room done in no time, just had to go back through and wash the walls to get all the glue off... now we are ready for paint. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with any wallpaper or bor...

Best Product for Removing LINOLEUM Flooring!!!

I know this is a wallpaper steamer but I bought it and used it to remove Linoleum flooring. By far the best solution to removing linoleum. The steam melts the glue under the linoleum and they come up off the plywood like butter. I am not a professional, just an average joe. Absolutely awesome product for removing linoleum and vinyl flooring. I really cannot comment on how well it removes wallpaper because I didn't use it for that purpose.

Saves wor

My task was to remove the border and wallpaper from the lower half of a room. My initial approach was to use a spray product and scrape. I got out my scoring tool (which hadn't been used in 20 years) and scored a wall. I sprayed and waited the 15 minutes. I started to scrape. That was a challenge. Scored and sprayed more. Not much was coming off with the scraping. So I recalled an article on the Lowes site which basically recommended steaming for challenging wallpaper. So I looked up the t...

lowes fail

online said they had 5, only one on shelf and when I get home the power cord is missing fromy the box....

A must have if you are working with wallpaper

We purchased an old home that had some hideous wallpaper. The kitchen was the worst. It was dated, and dingy. I hated my kitchen walls. Thought about having a professional come in but we are on a tight budget. Saw this at Lowes and gave it a try. This thing is amazing. Super easy to assemble, just fill it with water, plug it in and go. Nothing complicated. You hold it on the spot for 10 seconds and the wallpaper peels right off. It was so easy to use, that we are ready to re-do all the rooms in ...

Best tool

We bought this steamer the wallpaper we wanted to remove was very tough couldnt get a start in getting it off. But with this steamer we done a 18x40 room in 2 days best investment we could have made. No wall damage at all.

wagner 705 wallpaper steamer

I had one wall covered in wallpaper, and my wife tried to tear it all off, making a big mess before she gave up-most of the paper left one layer on the wall. I wasn't sure how to get it off, but a search on this website led me to this product. I read the reviews, and decided to give it a try-it worked amazingly well! I would hold the steamer box against the wall for may 5-10 seconds, and the paper would just peel off in long strips, with no damage to the wall. I was done in a very short time. Fo...
