Multi-purpose units trade the instant-heat story for staying power: bigger tanks, steam-rate specifications and accessory sets that cover kitchen, bathroom, floors and fabric in one box. This is the format for whole-home claims that survive use.
Quick answer
The EM-305 (250 ml boiler, 3 bar, 28–32 g/min) covers quick multi-surface work; the EM-208 and EM-209 hold a 1.2-litre tank and deliver 25–40 g/min for about 25–35 minutes per refill at 1200 W and 1.5 bar.
Runtime comparison
| Model | Tank / boiler | Pressure | Steam rate | Continuous steam | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EM-305 | 250 ml boiler | 3 bar | 28–32 g/min | 8–10 min | 1550 W |
| EM-208 | 1200 ml tank | 1.5 bar | 25–40 g/min | About 25–35 min per refill | 1200 W |
| EM-209 | 1200 ml tank | 1.5 bar | 25–40 g/min | About 25–35 min per refill | 1200 W |
The 1.2-litre platform ships with a nine-piece accessory set (straight and crevice nozzles, brushes, scraper, grout brush, measuring cup, metal extension rod, window and ironing brushes, cloth) — the breadth retailers use to justify a mid-tier price point. Accessory sets per carton are confirmed in the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
What does “25–35 minutes per refill” mean for end users?
With a 1.2-litre tank and 25–40 g/min output, one fill runs a full kitchen or bathroom session without refilling. Refills take minutes because the tank is separate from the boiler.
Is the EM-208 different from the EM-209?
Same rated platform (1200 W, 1.5 bar, 1.2 L, 25–40 g/min); the EM-209 body is 10 mm deeper per the catalog. Treat them as colour/format variants for range planning.
Can the multi-purpose units clean windows?
The accessory set includes a window brush and squeegee-type tools. Window-vacuum combination products are a separate category that we review separately for design clearance before offering.
