Insect control with a steam generator/steam cleaner

I thought about buying a steam cleaner-a steam generator for controlling insects that are found in upholstered furniture. The reason is the non-toxicity of this method (although I am aware that in principle, a full-fledged treatment of the apartment with chemicals may be necessary).

Q: When choosing a steam cleaner, what should I pay attention to? What is the optimal power of the heating element, etc. Is it true that if the nozzle - " gun " cord is long, then the steam jet out of there is no longer as hot as it should be? Etc.

Steam generator to attempt self-destruction of bedbugs, take as much power as possible, so that the maximum steam temperature is as high as possible. It will be useful in any case - to steam underwear, shirts. I have an inexpensive Chinese steamer from the supermarket, I steam a mattress once a month to prevent all sorts of fungi and dust mites. Here is an article about extermination of bedbugs with a steamer and the temperature at which bedbugs die.
