This OSIM iEcologi was retired due to a excessively noisy motor. As it turns out the bearing at the impeller end is severely rusted.
Despite the water filtration and mechanical filter quite a bit of dirt do managed to get suck into the motor where some of it will probably get expelled into the air again,
The AC power plug developed a loose connection on the Live terminal, giving intermittent power connection.
The water tank, the boiler ( top ), the motor sits below the water tank together with the water pump which pump water into the boiler
The water boiler with the heater attached at the bottom
The carbon brushes for the motor, still in fair wear condition. Water pump to meter water into the boiler
The electronic control board to monitor steam pressure and boiler
The motor disassembled
Safety warning label Hot steam danger for pets and people
The 4 castor wheels will be useful for upcycling into wheeled platform for shifting things around
