We had a slight issue at first with it not generating steam, but a call to the customer support number got us straightened out within minutes. Note to buyers: it takes a few minutes (not a few seconds) for water to saturate the filter on the initial use. Customer support recommended taking a squeeze bottle filled with water (we used a dollar store ketchup bottle) and forcing water into the filter. This got us steam within seconds and it's been gangbusters ever since. It cleans just as well as a mop with cleaning solutions in less time (if you figure in the time it takes to fill up bucket, mix chemicals, etc.), with less mess (leaves surfaces slightly damp vs. wet), and less cleanup afterward (no chemicals to dump/rinse - just throw the cloth pad in the laundry). That's another thing - the clamp that holds the cloth pad on allows you to use any kind of cloth, so you're not stuck buying replacement pads; you can use old towels or rags. With 3 cats running around like maniacs, it's great to not have to use cleaning solutions on the floors. Our only lasting complaint is that the rack that holds the accessories doesn't fit snugly onto the body of the machine and falls off if you bump it. Until we can figure out how to wedge it a little more tightly we're just leaving the rack off while in use. I would definitely recommend! 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cleans Well but Poorly Engineered - Hard To Use By Ovieda Estrada After spending time over several weeks reading reviews on Steam Mops, it's clear that the manufacturers need to do some work. There were so many poor reviews in every product line, it was hard to find any product that didn't have scathing reviews. I found this one on other sites with good reviews so thought I would give it try. If my son had not accidentally thrown the box away, I would have returned it.Pros - It does clean well. The steam is hot. It leaves the floor wet but dries quickly. But what you have to fight to get there is not worth it. Cons: Almost everything - You have to hold the handle down for the steam to come out - I rigged it with a strong rubber band as it tired my hands out. - The cord is just not long enough and there is not a cord clasp to keep it out of your way as you are cleaning. The bottom cord holder is so far down on the handle that when you try to wrap the cord around it, you hit the body of the machine. - The plug is weighted heavily so the slightest movement and out it comes - I tried pushing the prongs apart but that didn't help so now I plug it into a power strip - isn't that fun? - The Accessory kit won't stay on if the machine is at a stand still much less in movement. Really? They couldn't figure out to fasten a plastic carrier on? - Hard to push. I keep looking down to see if the wheels are really moving since pushing this thing is like pushing rubber across carpet. I'm going to try a microfiber cloth and see if that helps. - It runs out of water just cleaning my small kitchen. - When I pull the water tank stopper out, the whole rubber plug comes out. So I have to ever sooooo gently pull it and hold the other part down to keep that from happening. - There are a lot of tools but seriously, I'm not going to use them so it's a waste. I did pull it out to use as a hand held model but I could not see any difference in the cleanliness of the sink so who wants to drag the thing around.I'm using it because I paid for it and I don't want it go to waste -- but I feel foolish getting stuck with this machine.
