Earlex Wallpaper Stripper

The plan was a simple one and the work required would probably take up two days of my weekend to fully decorate my son?s bedroom. This involved removing a paper border from the middle of three of the walls and painting over the existing paper, which was in good condition. The reality was rather different and has involved the removal from four walls, three layers of borders and two layers of paper each having had at least two colours of paint on them. This prompted the need for a steam wallpaper stripper and the Ealex has fitted the bill perfectly. In my local Homebase this was the mid priced product weighing in at £28. I chose it primarily because of the ...  Read the complete review

Spend just £30 on an Earlex wallpaper stripper & you will wonder why you ever used a bucket of water & a sponge. The Earlex stripper is an electric tool that makes stripping old wallpaper a piece of cake. just fill the base with water, switch on & wait approx 10 minutes for the steam to generate & away you go. It comes with a rectangular steam plate that you just hold to the wall, wait about 30 seconds for the paper to soften, then move to the next patch. I have found if you start at the top of the wall the soft paper you scrape will fall down making the bit below quicker to soften up! I can strip a 13' x 13' room in about 3/4 of an hour. ...  Read the complete review

The only problem I have now is that my wife knows how fast I can actually work. And I have been volunteered to decorate my mother in laws kitchen. The steam stripper is electric, on wheels and comes with a very ...  Read the complete review

Great, I have just finished stripping my hallway which was covered in the dreaded woodchip wallpaper, this machine has made life so much easier. (After spending 5 days stripping by hand a bathroom) At just £30.00 it is easy to use just fill the base with water wait 10/15 mins and away you go. If you are patient enough the paper will come right off in strips, only if you start at the top I hasten to add. It is a machine that is so easy to use their is no need to refer to the operators manual. I would recommend this to everyone, for £30 you get the job done in a fraction of the time and it is pleasurable to see the paper come away so easily. ...  Read the complete review
