Cheap wallpaper steamer worked better than my $200 one

My bathroom wallpaper was peeling and I tried renting a professional steamer from Home Depot for $50 a day. Finally grabbed a $25 handheld steamer off Amazon on a whim and it stripped that old 90s floral pattern in under 2 hours, no damage to the drywall. Has anyone else found a low budget tool that beat the expensive version?

My mom always said you don't need fancy tools for paint stripper either, just some elbow grease and a heat gun.

Honestly, how many layers of paint did her heat gun get through before it was just a sticky mess? Like did she ever have that one spot that just would not bubble up no matter what?
