8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising a wand holder attached to the body for securing the wand in a storage position.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the side panels are removable from the body such that the side panels are interchangeable with other side panels.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first side panel is on a first side of the body and the second side panel is on a second side of the body opposite to the first side,

the first side panel is circular,

the second side panel is circular, and

the body is generally circular in cross section.

11. A device for generating and supplying steam, comprising:

a body;

a steam generation unit;

a first side panel attached to the body and having a first support leg extending from its perimeter;

17. The device of claim 11 , further comprising a steam supply wand attached to an end of the steam supply hose.

18. The device of claim 17 , further comprising a wand holder attached to the body for securing the wand in a storage position.

19. The device of claim 11 , wherein the side panels are removable from the body such that the side panels are interchangeable with other side panels.

20. The device of claim 11 , wherein the first side panel is on a first side of the body and the second side panel is on a second side of the body opposite to the first side,

the first side panel is circular,

the second side panel is circular, and

the body is generally circular in cross section.

21. A device for generating and supplying steam, comprising:

a body;

a steam generation unit;

a first side panel attached to the body;

a second side panel attached to the body;

a power cord attached to the steam generation unit;

a supply hose for supplying the steam from the steam generation unit to a point of use of the steam;
