When my Euro-Pro died after 20 years, I replaced it with a LauraStar which has both a suction table and a air table http://www.laurastarus.com/
Unlike the Euro-Pro, LauraStar can be refilled without waiting for the system to cool down. Large water tank and tons of steam is generated. After so many years with the Euro-Pro, I didn't believe the salesperson and used distilled water instead of tap water. Not a hint of steam. To get steam generated, the LauraStar must have tap water and filter resin demineralizer granules. The granules are very expensive if bought from LauraStar. However, WaWak.com sells "Iron Resin" in 14oz bags for $16 and you only use 3 or 4 tablespoons at a time. The granules turn amber color when needing replacement which is about 4 to 6 weeks. I use the LauraStar 2-3 times per week for several hours at a time.

LauraStar is a bit pricey but like all good tools, worth every penny.
