Mikitanova researched for weeks online and in stores for a steam mop, as most of my house is wood or tile. I could not be happier with my purchase. Here are the reasons why i finally chose the Euroflex Monster: 1) It was actually designed to be used on hardwood floors - this was important to me b/c I didn't want to ruin the floors in our house 2) It has 2 different steam levels, which makes it safer and more effective at cleaning tile and hardwood. i could not find any other steam mop w/ 2 different steam levels. 3) it has a good sized water chamber. i can mop the whole house on one filling if i don't press the trigger too much to get extra steam to come out the front. 4) steam jets on the bottom AND front. i don't remember seeing this in any other brand. 5) it heats up hotter than most steam mops - to 240 degrees F. Other steam mops don't get as hot so to actually sanitize you are supposed to hold the mop in one spot for 15 seconds, which would make mopping a house an all day event. 6) it also has an attachment for steam cleaning carpets - i have not tried this yet, but liked the feature. 7) the bonus pads where a great bonus. It has been great at cleaning well and quickly. It really does wipe away grime... even grime that's been there for a while. The pads are machine washable and come out clean every time. Be sure to use distilled water so that you don't get any build up in the chamber (that goes for all steam mops). My only complaint is that if you do have to refill the water chamber mid-cleaning session, you have to wait to 5 mins unscrew the cap (b/c of steam escaping when you unscrew the cap)and then another 5 mins for the mop to heat up after you put more water in the chamber 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Great Product! By Jeffrey G. Ritchey This was a great purchase for me. I have a carpet steamer and wanted a hardwood/tile floor steamer. This steamer does the job! My only complaint is that it cannot clean my grout. The people who lived in my house before me had put in white grout. It is such a pain to constantly bleach it. Unfortunately, I am going to have to rip out all the white grout and put in a darker color because with three children and 3 pets, the grout does not stay clean and I do not like getting down on my hands and knees everyday to bleach the mess out. FYI, when the cleaning pad gets dirty it starts to spread the dirt around. I was cleaning my hardwood floors and went to start the kitchen and to my surprise it left brown washable streak across my floor and grout. Definitely a good product though! 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Awesome product By Tiffany I also did tons of research on this steam mop and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The only thing I will point out is that it is a bit on the heavy side, so if you are a frail person this may not be the right mop for you. It does do an awesome job on the floors and the 4 steam levels make it great for my laminate and the tile. The more steam that you use though the more wet the floors get so start on the lowest level of steam for a floor that dries in seconds. Very easy to use and I feel like it is a well made and sturdy product that is going to last me a long time. See all 38 customer reviews...

Katsarelis I just purchased a previously owned townhome and needed to really clean the entire kitchen. I used an industrial grease remover and was unable to remove all the grime (YUK!!!). I had seen this product advertised and was skeptical; however, I was pleasantly surprised. The SteamFast SF-226 Handheld Steam Cleaner did an exceptional job. Following the use of the steamer, I was able to wipe down all surfaces in the kitchen. It worked great on the grout, stove-top, kitchen tile, floor tile, refrigerator, and woodwork. I highly recommend this little work horse! 53 of 55 people found the following review helpful. Not bad... does what it could. By Chas Devlin Not much to say... it's a low end, handheld steam cleaner -- meaning it can't compete in any way with professional models at twice the price. For the most past, it gets the job done. Set up took all of 5 minutes -- fill with water, attach a nozzle, wait for the light to signal it's ready, and steam away! Most people will probably use the main nozzle (as pictured) and attack the usual areas -- bathroom, kitchen, and every other nook + cranny you can think of. It did a good job on all those areas. It's light enough to carry around for a while, and the long power cord allowed for good flexibility. It removed most of the burnt-on grease inside the oven (though it took a few cycles). As to be expected with a basic model, it doesn't take long to lose its' steam power, and it needs refilling rather quickly (so don't pump for steam if you don't need to). Also, depending on the angle being applied, it leaked more water than steam action to some surfaces. Additionally, I wish the main nozzle was longer, as I found myself unable to reach certain areas. To sum up, it's fine for most basic household uses - but don't expect maximum power from a model like this. I found myself wanting to upgrade. 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful. A Great Product, A Great Price By J. Krider This is a great product at a great price. This is my second one, because they don't last forever. But four years for one of these isn't a bad life-time, considering the price. There are some things it DOESN'T do - like soap scum on the shower door. But I use it for cleaning the grill, the oven and the stove-top. The steam really does melt the grease like in the infomercial. While it doesn't really work on soap scum, it does a great job on mirrors. Next time I'll spend the extra money and get the one with the extension hose, because without it you can't get to the bottom of the mirror (the squeege attaches right to the tank, which gets in the way). About the time I run out of steam, my arm is tired and the break to let the unit cool so I can refill it works out nicely for me. With common sense (don't force parts together, empty the tank before storing, etc.), the unit should last. The one thing I would change would be to add the ability to purchase nozzles and brushes seperatly. Those are the things that get lost/wear out, etc. See all 54 customer reviews...

Bissell Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner - the most environmentally safe and thorough way to clean your bare floors

Amazon Sales Rank: #14343 in Home Brand: Bissell Model: 1867 Number of items: 1 Dimensions: 7.30" h x 7.50" w x 26.70" l, Steam-mop for chemical-free cleaning of bare floors Ready to clean in 30 seconds Low-profile pivoting head, ergonomic handle, and steam trigger Safe on marble, ceramic, stone, vinyl, laminate, linoleum, and sealed hardwood 7-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 45-1/2 inches; weighs 6.9 pounds

Amazon.com Review The Bissell steam mop for bare floors is ready to blast away grime in just 30 seconds and gets the job done without the use of chemicals or detergents. Powered by a tank of tap water, the mop shoots steam out of its 10-1/2-inch floor nozzle when you pull the handle trigger. The machine-washable terry-cloth mop pad wipes up the results. Slim and lightweight, the mop features an easily maneuvered swivel head with a conveniently shallow profile for under cabinets and shelves. It is safe for use on marble, ceramic, stone, vinyl, laminate, linoleum, and sealed hardwoods—all of which should dry after cleaning in a matter of seconds. An externally mounted filter features color-changing beads to indicate when it needs replacing. The machine can be used with distilled water to prolong the filter’s life. The mop runs approximately 15 minutes on one tank, and speedy set-up and heating time means you can be cleaning again within a few minutes. Nice details include a comfortable handle, a ready indicator light, an extra mop cover, a built-in carrying handle, a wall-mount storage bracket, and quick-release cord hooks. Bissell also includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Day I admit it I finally bought something because I saw it on an infomercial and all I can say is that I am very impressed!! I have 2 dogs, a husband that works in the oilfield, me the messy cook, and I live in sandy red dirt west Texas. This thing can really handle it all. I also like how the mop pad also goes over my 1/4 round on the baseboards and gets them too.In addition I love that I don't have to immediatly leave the area after I have mopped because the fumes from the chemicals are so strong... as my experience was when I tried the swiffer wetjet. I had debated as to whether to get this with the Bissell CatchAll or to get the Hoover Floormate and so far I am very happy with th choice I have made. One hint I found out when using this product that is not mentioned in the instructions is that it works best when you pull it backwards instead of forwards.( like I do when using my hoover steamvac widepath) I noticed when I was pushing forwards all the steam seamed to be coming out the back of the mop head and when I pulled it backwards all the steam went apparantly on the floor because I barely saw it coming out but I could certainly see the difference. After using this product I really can say that my floor is clean. not only does it look clean , but I know that the steam is killing bacteria and I can believe it or not , breathe better. I dont know if this is because it is like being around a vaporizer or because it is killing bacteria and dustmites but it does.WHen all of these new and improved moppping gadgets hit the market I had been hopfull because hey, I admit I hate mopping. After mopping while the floor was still wet it never failed that either my dogs or my husband when just walk on it and get it dirty again.So I tried the swiffer wetjet and was not impressed because of the strong smell of the cleaner, having to buy cleaner and pads all the time, did not get ground in stuff very well, and Knowing that I was only degreasing and not disinfecting the floor. This steam mop is cost effeciant because I don't have to keep buying cleaner or pads. It is reccomened to use distilled water to maximize the use of the water filter but 1$ /gallon compared to $3/liter isn't bad and I may end up getting one of those pur things to not have to do even that. I honestly recommend this product and hope that this may help someone considering buying it! 197 of 198 people found the following review helpful. for people who hate mopping By busytwinmom I love a clean floor, but I hate mopping so much that I put it off and put it off. Kitchen floors in a busy household should be mopped AT LEAST once a week, but wringing a heavy wet mop and dealing with all that dirty water - yuck. So when I saw this, I thought that if it lived up to its billing, it would be the answer to my prayers. (By the way - the swiffer doesn't get the floor clean at all to my satisfaction, costs too much and leaves unwanted chemicals smeared around)After trying this I can say that yes, it really does get the floor clean - not as clean as if I had scrubbed on my hands and knees but much cleaner than a quickie mop job. And no wringing, no rinsing, no dirty bucket of water. Just one pass and I'm done. It works on both linoleum and ceramic tile/grout and fits around the back of the toilet.I am also pleased with the slim profile which makes it easy to store.A few tips: to get the floor clean you have to go SLOW. REALLY SLOW. But one pass done this way over each area is enough. Also, it won't take black shoe scuffs up. And as you go the mop cover gets saturated, leaving the last area mopped pretty wet. And to extend the life of the filter, the instructions say you should use distilled water - an additional expense.But the upshot is that I cheerfully mop my kitchen and bathrooms twice a week now. I have been for months. Its amazing. This machine has solved one of

The open area mop head accessory set has 25-percent more surface cleaning area than the app purpose steam pocket mop head. It is the perfect application for cleaning large rooms and larger floor areas. The absorbent micro-fiber pocket loosens lifts and locks in the dirt. When you are finished just toss the reusable mop head in the washer. The included finger loops make it easy to put on and remove the mop head.

By mom2boyz I purchased the Euro-Pro Shark XL3501 Floor Kit from NewEgg to use with the Steam Pocket Mop. I thought with the EXTRA LARGE mop head that I would be able to clean MORE space FASTER, but after using it a few times I'm not convinced. To me, the XL mop HEAD seemed just a little too big for the mop. (It is about 1.5x bigger than the standard/regular size rectangle mop that comes with the mop.) The mop was more difficult to push and manuever with the XL head (which is why I probably didn't clean any faster). In addition, the actual cleaning surface of the mop bottom seemed to be primarily in the very center of the XL mop head (as evidenced by the dirt pattern on the bottom of the pad). This is a "nice to have" accessory, but not a necessary one. I personally prefer the standard/regular size rectangle mop head since it moves easier across the floor (which is why I subtracted 1 star from the XL mop head's rating). A better investment would probably be additional pads for the regular rectangle mop head. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. xl floor kit By matilda I bought the shark pocket steam mop in January 2010. I also bought the xl kit which I use most of the time. After 6 months of regular use 1 time a week , the connection from the unit to the mop head frayed and the mop head had to be replaced. This should not happen in such a short period of time. The mop itself is a great product and really does the job of cleaning the floors. Hopefully, this new mop head will last longer. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good quality product By naeary I have used the Shark steam pocket mop since December 2009. I like that it does not leave streaks or push the dirt around. It is easy and fast to use. The xl head is a better size then the small one that it comes with to allow more cleaning. I have found that rinsing the pocket off in the sink prior to washing helps remove the dirt and build up. See all 11 customer reviews...

I bought it to steam sanitize my carpeting, and was pleased with the outcome. I first cleaned my carpet, let it dry and used the steamer afterwards. I also used it on my sofa. The sanitizer must be kept level or a small amount of water will leak from the sides, but it dried rather quickly so I did not see it as a problem. For the price, it did what I expected it to do. Since I used it on carpet I do not know how it works on wood flooring. I have three dogs and several cats, and was pleased at how clean my sofa and carpet looked afterwards. I did not clean the sofa first, just ran the steamer over it, and it pilled cat hairs for easy removal that I thought I had manually removed, which was great, because it left my sofa looking clean and bright. If you want to kill germs and sanitize your carpet or floor, then this product may work for you as well. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I wouldn't say its perfect, but still pretty great By Larissa L. Smith This has done a great job on my floors. I finally feel like they are really clean. There is no overpowering perfume permeating my house after mopping the floors, I don't slip and fall like I have after using some other products, there are no chemicals on my floor to worry about when my two year old is rolling around on the floor. My promlems with the FS-30 are pretty minor. If it were 1/4 of an inche shorter, it would fit perfectly under the overhang of my cabinets, but its something I can live with. The other problem is with the ready indicator. Its just a heat sensitive patch that changes color to indicate the water is hot, but if you have to refill in the middle of cleaning, that patch is no use, instead you have to watch for the steam coming out to know that your water is ready. Again not a big deal, as its pretty obvious that the water is ready. A couple things I am very impressed with, the combination of the steam with the scrubby microfiber pads has managed to get up marks off my floor that I have previously had to use a "Magic Eraser" to get up, which is awesome, because the eraser would also take off the floor wax, and the Haan only removes the marks left by my furniture. Also the Haan was able to get up the remnants of a sticker placed on my floor in a matter of seconds, rather than having to scrape it off with a blade, and ruinning the floors. I'm pretty happy with the results I've had so far, but if they made a few changes to the product it would be even better. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Amazing product! By S.

We bought this model at a local retail store last weekend. I had used a different model of the same brand previously (borrowed from in-laws). I have used it once, on my entire living room--a cream colored cheap wall-to-wall carpet laid down about 3 years ago by the previous owners. Probably artificial fibers. Just saying. The carpet was getting spotty. We have a cat who has hairballs regularly and two four-year-olds. The cream colored carpet was showing spots around the kids computer, both couches, and the high-traffic areas at each doorway. We had some washable-marker marks here and there, and one sticky place. We live in the south so we had red clay marks, too. I assembled the machine--had to get a long, thin screwdriver from the garage because the kind with the changeable tips is too fat for the holes in the upper handle. Assembly was easy, but I was left with an extra wand that had no home. Ours came with a small, medium, and large unpowered wand plus a powered wand and a crevice tool. At this point I was thinking that all the unpowered wands were kind of redundant. I filled the machine with hot water and the 'fiber cleansing' solution my husband picked up because he didn't realize there were two bottles of solution inside the box. Not a big deal, we'll use it all, I'm sure. The soap tank was a bit leaky for just a second, so I let it drip til it stopped, then rinsed off the outside. I grabbed the blue squirt bottle of 'tough stain precleaner' that came in the box and squirted each little gray, brown, or sticky spot. Didn't do anything else, just squirted. Gave the gray area near the doors a sort of 'misting' to get the job started. I turned the dial on the Bissell to 'normal cleaning' and started near one door. Wet stroke forward, wet stroke backward, dry stroke forward, dry stroke backward. Had a little trouble with the suction at first, but I later determined this was probably because the machine had tipped while it was on. It makes a pop noise when it loses suction, and you pretty much have to shut the machine off and turn it back on to 'reset'. A few places in the carpet needed an extra going over with the wet/dry strokes to get the spots up. After just a couple of strokes, the machine started spitting out little 'hairballs' that were gray--presumably cat hair and carpet fiber wads. I had read about these in the manual and so was not alarmed. I decided to let them go and after the carpet dried I'd get them with the dry vac. About half-way through the room (13x18, roughly) it was time to dump the dirty water and refill. The water was like diluted hot chocolate in color, and had hairballs in it. Removing and replacing the tank is quite easy. Originally I was thinking I had to lay down the handle to get at the connections, but this is not true--the machine can be standing up and you can still get the water tank out. Not sure about the soap tank, though. Note that while cleaning, you're dripping on the back stroke. So you start at one end of the room and work *backwards* to the other end, not forwards. Probably a no-brainer, but there you go. I tried using one of the unpowered wands for a spot under the kids desk, and it did OK but didn't really wow me. It was nice to have the trigger right there on the wand to be able to squirt soap at the spot, and the wand did fine at pulling the water back out. Didn't try the powered wand for it--I just went over it again with the big machine and the spot was completely gone. I'll try the powered wand another time. Back in action, I finished up the room with no other highlights. I chose not to use the 'rinse' cycle on the machine at all, I guess I'm testing the anti-resoiling agent in the soap. :) I didn't really want to spend the time going over every inch of carpet twice. When finished, I put down a couple of clean towels to walk on

The Hoover Dual V MaxExtract has the patented SpinScrub brushes that clean all sides of the carpet fiber. The brushes are easy to remove for easy clean up. And, there are 3 speeds for a variety of tasks. The Dual V Technology provides equal suction across the entire path and removes more water than any other brand.

I bought it about 6 years ago and after attempting to clean the rugs last month I realized it was no longer picking up the water. Opened it up and saw that the internal suction hose had split in half. That was it .. time to find another cleaner. I have had good luck with Hoovers but did a TON of research before settling on this machine. I have a dog and a toddler and both do a number on my rugs. Juice, food, crayons, spit up, urine and everything else under the sun has ended up on my carpet in the past 2 years. I did not take care of my previous Hoover so it wasn't the best in its later life. I just brought the new one home and oh my god, the water was black. I did not think anything could bring my carpets back but this did. They are so soft and clean. I love this machine because it has a rinse button if you want to make sure you have gotten all the soap out. I use really warm water and the machine directs hot air onto the carpet as you make your passes. The carpet dried super fast and just looks fantastic. I had to fill and empty the containers 4 times for my combination living / dining room but hey, I'm not complaining now that I see the results. I also like this machine because you do not mix the detergent in with the water. This is great because if you have detergent left over you just pour it back into the bottle. Based on my previous experience, here is what I learned and can pass on to future Hoover SteamVac owners: 1. Clean your machine after each use. That means taking apart the brushes and washing out the front nozzle. This is an investment and if you want it to continue working like it did the first day, you need to take care of it. 2. Do not leave left over or dirty water in the tank when you put it away. This will wear away at the joints and increases the chances the leaks. 3. Do not leave left over detergent in the tank .. see #2. 4. Read the directions when you put it together and make sure you read how to use this rather than just take it out and turn it on. I never read the first manual and didn't realize I should have been cleaning and using the spray button a totally different way. This is a great machine and I hope it will last just as if not longer now that I know how to take care of and use it properly. 126 of 126 people found the following review helpful. Best carpet cleaner I've ever used By cat person I just got this carpet cleaner from Amazon.com and I am so happy with it. It outcleans everything I've ever used before, including professional cleaning companies. I owned a Kirby years ago and it can't hold a candle to this Hoover cleaner. I found it was much easier to use than the rug doctor, which I've rented many times, and since I own it, I don't have to haul it back to the store and I have all the time I want to clean my carpets. It was very easy to use, and I particularly like the clean water rinse feature. It gets all the detergent residue out, and my carpet was soft and lofty after cleaning. Just think, you wouldn't wear your clothes washed and not rinsed. The power is awesome, my carpet was practically dry when I finished. I got back very close to the amount of water that was dispensed. My carpet was dry enough to walk on in an hour and vacuum in 2 hours. This machine is so well made that I look forward to having soft clean carpet for years to come. It has the quality that I expected from a Hoover. I researched all brands of cleaners dilligently on the net and even looked at some brands, including Bissell, in a store before I decided on this particular Hoover machine. I've never been so happy while cleaning my carpets before. I had it out of the box and ready to go in minutes. It's as easy to use as a vacuum cleaner, plus, Amazon's sale price was cheaper than any price for the same machine that I found. I am a happy camper with
