High pressure cleaners/Steamers

So I am looking into purchasing a high pressure steamer that will handle my engine bay and other cars that I own, I am curious if any of you know of a good steamer on the market and what degreasers you might suggest to use with it.
Thanks

For an '06 MINI, you really don't want to be using high pressure or a steamer to clean your engine. In fact, if you just use a product like Meguiar's APC or DeGreaser with a soft brush, you can detail out your engine bay in about 20 minutes.

I usually use very low flow water, like from a bug sprayer to just wet and rinse the areas. Use an Absorber to soak up any water that pools.
