Anyone use one of those new fangled portable steamers to de-ice frozen evaporator coils?
I have always used either a turbo torch or a pump sprayer with hot water.
I always thought that steam would be the best, if it was even halfway portable.
Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

Bought Shark Steamer to defrost coils, after one rocet scientist burned a hole in an evaporator with turbo torch. Works well

Don't use them to defrost a coil cause I think it would just add heat and humidity to an already suffering box but I do use a small steam generator to clean condensor coils on refrigeration units. What a clean coil it makes and what a greasy mess!
