20 Best Steam Mop For Floors (Jan 2023 Update)

I have many animals and hardwood and tile throughout my home. I have had a Shark and Orek steam mops before and thought they did a decent job. But I am a hardcore Bissell fan when it comes to vacuums because of the massive shedding from the pets not to mention my drooling Mastiffs. I went with this Bissell for the brand and am more than satisfied with my choice. This model, 1940W, does an exceptional job of cleaning both my hardwood and tile floors without streaking or having to go over the saliva enzymes 20x before it lifts. I can really clean my floors easily on the medium setting and did my kitchen, dining room, living room, and hallway which is about 1600sq. feet without having to refill the tank. The scrubbing pad made easy work of getting up any spills or sticky spots, all in one quick motion. This is steamer mop is far better than the other two I had. The cord is plenty long and the scent discs which I didn't think would be a big deal actually are. The whole house smelled wonderful and the scent even wafted upstairs. The large pad surface and swivel head are a huge plus. I highly recommend this product and Bissell in particular.ShoppingSherpa

I bought this when it was deeply discounted to replace my other current options, which were either a bucket/mop with a lil fabuloso or pinesol or getting on my hands and knees with a rag. I already have a Dyson handheld cordless vacuum, so I decided not to get the vacuum steam mop combo version, and just get this lighter steam mop only instead. Just as the Dyson made me not mind vacuuming, I thought that getting the lighter steam mop would do the same for me but for mopping, even though it's corded. I have to say, it does what it says it'll do. It's not as detailed as spending hours in the floor with a hand-rag, or as deep cleaning as soaking the tile floor with a mop-bucket but it's wayyyyy less mess, dries wayyyy faster, it's wayyyy more ergonomic, and more likely that I'll do this more often than the other two methods, which was basically out of desperation once a year. I also really like that the pads are reusable and washable, even if it's kind of a pain to remember to wash them, and don't even mind the cord. It's the perfect length to cover my entire kitchen without unplugging. Glad I held out for this. I'm actually looking forward to having and maintaining somewhat clean floors from now on. #sweepstakesErin

Steam mops are magical! My cleaning heart is so happy! We moved in three years ago and the floor in our bathroom has always looked like this. I probably scoured 30+ years of grime out of these tiles. So gross! Still not my favorite tile, but I can at least live with it for a little while longer and not get totally disgusted every time I look at it. The Bissell Powerfresh Slim 3-in-1 is my new best friend! Using the handheld pod, red brush, and a bit of elbow grease to scrub both tile and grout it performed really well. The grime was really built up and I had to clean out the bristles often, but I was expecting that for the initial deep clean. I also pretreated the tile flooring with a vinegar solution to loosen the dirt before scrubbing and that worked like a charm. For a big job like this I had to refill the tank several times, but if there was a larger water tank it would have added extra weight and made it difficult to maneuver the pod. Haven't tried the extension arm or the mop head yet, but I think it will be a great way to keep all that grime build up at bay.Anna

Assembly was simple although at first I didn’t realize the screw that holds it together was taped to the handle, and I worried it was lost. Also to those receiving this mop with what looks like a “used” water tank and are returning it because it appears to have been used and then returned: I believe Bissell water tests these machines to check for leaks and to make sure everything works properly before packaging up for the consumer, so you could order ten of these and all ten would appear “used.” If all the other components and packaging appear to have not been opened and used once before, it’s safe to say your product hasn’t been used and then returned. The power cord was neatly folded and the twist tie did not appear to have been undone before and retied, the mop pads were clean and smelled of the manufacturer not like someone’s detergent. The screw came in a sealed plastic bag taped to the handle. Pretty safe to say it hadn’t been used before. The scrub brush is amazing. I use it on the caulking by my baseboards to get up dirt and dust. I will say, the “light” steam setting seems a bit too light. Maybe just for a quick dusting of your floors. The high setting is the way to go if you really want to see some steam and a good amount of wetness left behind on the floor. I had mopped with my traditional mop a week before using the steam mop, and to be honest I wasn’t too surprised that the pad was dirty since I’ve always assumed the mop was leaving dirty water behind. Definitely purchase!Sarschmi

I was excited to buy this to clean/sanitize my floors in the entire house. I have large marble tile (very glossy) in first floor and semi gloss wood floor on the stairs & second floor. I started downstairs first, and worked my way upstairs. I followed the exact directions, and the first floor with marble came out terrible with super large streaks of water. I had it set to high steam, and was using the rough textured pad for the stains. I then began the stairs, and worked my way up to the second floor. Refilled the tank with water, and began the same process on the second floor and came out way better. This doesnt work great with high gloss tile. Wood is better to absorb the moisture it leaves behind. Pros: the cord is very long, and the tablet it comes with in the box left my house smelling really good. I will give it one more shot with the first floor’s marbel tile on low steam setting, and the white pad to see how it goes. If the outcome is the same, I’m going to return it.Chris

It's great! It works really well for a variety of things – cleaning floors, counters, sanitizing things. It's not noisy like some steam mops are. The added storage that clicks onto the machine for some of the extra attachments and the docking station that holds everything is a nice added bonus. It's easy to manoeuvre and reach hi and low. My reason for not giving 5 stars is because I feel that at the price point it is in, it should be a cordless machine. The cord it has is long, which is nice, however I was originally looking for a cordless machine. Not sure how the logistic would work on making one, but I can't imagine it would take that much battery power to head up and move the water. Would definitely invest in a cordless if it was on the market. The only other issue I noticed is the mop pads stain really really easy. I only used it once and washed the mop pad right away, hung to dry but it's incredibly stained.Vanessa

I really enjoyed this machine. I had high hopes, and they didn't quite get met with this device, but not disappointed either. The steam could have a little more oomph to it, for the handheld you really have to hold It against the surface of something to get the dirt up. I will say that I do not like that the steam doesn't just start coming out right away. You have to hold the button down for a good 30 seconds, wait for your lights to dim (I assume it is using more power when trying to produce steam) then it comes out. Do not release the button or you will have to start the process over again. For the amount of time it takes to start producing steam, I would expect to get more "steam" time, but again not a commercial use machine. I was able to clean my toilet, sink, and counter on 1 1/2 water refills so not too shabby I would say. The attachment tools are pretty neat as well, able to scrub pretty well with the scrubber brush. They do soften up though when you have continued use which I assume would decrease the usefulness of the brush. I do really enjoy this machine. The cleaning pads are easily removed and installed and just throw them in the wash one done and you have a fresh, good smelling pad for next use!Dannysaywhat

I received my mop within 3 days and having owned a previous one, similar but not a Black & Decker, I was very impressed with the quality of the standard of material of the mop and Portable Steamer and accessories. I cleaned the white tiles in my kitchen and was happy with the result. I was disappointed that I did not receive a carpet glider and an accessory bag which I was supposed to receive with this model.Berna

This is my 2nd Bissell steam cleaner, and it leaves the competitors in their steam! I have cleaned my entire house with this, plus two others. I have used it from the floor to the ceiling in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. I've used it on my furniture, clothes, dog kennel, my car, and even my swimming pool. I have found some drawbacks with this unit as well. Keep in mind I bought it again after my first one went out. So these drawbacks are worth the inconvenience to me. The first one is that when using it off the floor mop stick, to be hands-free you have to set it down and it tips over all the time and there is no strap to sling it over your shoulder or attach it to something to stabilize it preventing it from falling over or falling down if your up on a step stool or ladder. after so many tip-overs and falls it takes a toll on the unit. I believe that this ultimately led to my 2nd issue. The base started to leak and got worse as I used it, and lost the pressure to blow out the steam. 3rd inconvenience is with the steam mop handle. It's weak where it bends and I highly recommend you get some sturdy tape to wrap around the handle to reinforce it. I used Gorilla Tape. Otherwise, it will break off. I caught mine in time with it only cracking at that bend. The last thing is while mopping the floor, the lift-away unit will disengage itself if bumped against something. Not all the time but enough. All in all, again these issues I had experienced with my first one I thought the steam cleaner is worth it. I can't tell you exactly how much cleaning I did with it, but it was a lot over a 5 year stretch.Anita

I bought this two months ago to replace my previous Shark steam mop (a different model), which my daughter "borrowed". I have also had other brands of steam mops in the past. I like that the water tank is removable and can be filled directly from the tap and there is not a little jug which needs to be stored somewhere. I like that it is light and relatively small and hence easy to store and carry. I also like that it stands up by itself. My previous mop had the flip over option and the cloth was like a pocket, with only one side open. Unfortunately it shrank on its first wash and never fitted properly again, often coming off mid-mopping (one of the reasons I did not press y daughter to return it), so I liked that this model's cloth attached differently. The bit I did not anticipate with this model was that whilst the cloths stays on fine when mopping hard floors, I cannot use it to steam clean carpets as the cloths sticks to the carpet in preference to the mop. I wish I had known this before buying this mop. This is the first steam mop I have had where you have to prime the pump to get the steam flowing. This requires you to pump the handle a few times. What the instructions do not say is that you have to continue the pumping action to keep the steam flowing. Now, this happens automatically as you are mopping the floor, but when you stop to move the mop around furniture (which most of us have on our floors) the steam stops and then you have to pump it several times to get it going again. Same issue if you want to hold the mop on a stain to give it a while to soften, steam flow stops. So, overall I would not rush to buy this model again, despite it having some good features.CN263

If you are looking for a small, steam mop that delivers big results, look no further! I decided going in, that this steam mop was going to just be mediocre. But, much to my surprise, cleaned like no one’s business! The little water basin could be a little larger, but it’s not a deal breaker imo. Once plugged in, expect to be ready to mop away in about 20-30 seconds. Yes, for once a product literally gives an accurate description. I use a spray bottle with 1-3 ratio of vinegar water and spray as I mop to give a little extra disinfectant. By the end of my clean, my washable reusable mop pad is filthy with yuck. Let me also state, I use my shark mop FIRST (vacuumChrista

The mop was super quick and easy to set up and the longer cable meant getting around large floors wasn’t such a task after all, I was reluctant to buy in favour of a cordless but couldn’t find one, I guess for electrical safety reasons these cannot be cordless. Plenty of steam, remember to do the pump action if you experience low steam with it. It takes me moments to go around and do all of our floors here, and the mop came with two pads so I’m not without if the other one hasn’t gone in with the mucky wash yet. The pad head itself twists around in movement so I can easily manoeuvre it down the sides of the toilet and any other skinny gap floor areas that fit. The price was competitive in the sale, and for something as good as this I would go as far as saying overall my purchase is outstanding. Highly recommend!Rachel

Purchased this direct from Shark.com 2 weeks ago. The shipment arrived in 2 days, much faster than anticipated. The Steam Mop itself is great. Easy to put together and very light. We have all tile floors, so this is the best tool. After taking a few passes you can really see what a difference the steam mop makes. The detail and wand tool are great for showers. Have not tried the clothing tool but can tell from the fine steam that comes out, this is better than my clothing steamer. Highly recommend purchasing extra mop pads, as it is convenient to have another clean and dry one if you are covering a larger space.bobbie724

We purchased this pro model to replace our previous model which we had for over six years. I love these mops! This one spot cleans better than the normal model, and seems to throw more steam. I feel like I have to fill the reservoir more often, but the floors look cleaner, so I'm ok with that. Ive yet to try the attachments, but if they're anything like the previous model, they will be wonderful. I only regret that they didn't include the plastic ring to glide over rugs with the large mop. It was nice to steam clean smaller area rugs. It gave them a fresh look and cleaned them up in between deep cleaning.projectbronco

I love this steam mop. I use it 3-4 times a week on my tile, though sometimes more often. It is easy to use and a tank of water will clean my kitchen. Refilling is easy as is changing out pads. Buying multiple pads is a must. If you have a lot of tile I suggest having at least 6, and if you have a houseful of tile much more than that as you will want to change them often so you aren’t just spreading the dirt around. The pads do end up fairly stained, which is unfortunate but not a problem. I air dry them after washing in the machine. I wish this could go on vinyl plank, but after talking to a flooring expert it’s definitely for tile only. I don’t use the other attachments regularly, but they do work decently.Happywithcleanfloors

My first steam mop I absolutely love it! I had grown tired of use the old method of cleaning my kitchen floor. I happen to be searching online and ran across this product. After reading the reviews it was like yes I’m getting this mop. Plus the price included free home delivery. I couldn’t be happier with my choose. No problem reaching corners underneath the cabinets. My floor smells great too when I use one of the Demineralized Water Plus Scents.eva.h

I was very entertained by the gal who reviewed this and pointed out she doesn't eat off the floor. It was a great review, and decided me: I bought the mop. Is it perfect? Nope. Did I expect it to be? Nope. Does it do the job? Absolutely. Here's what I love about it: * it was cheap * it's lightweight, and hangs up where my brooms and dustmops and so on go. It may not work for you, so don't count on that, but the "thing" I hang my stuff from works for this. * it's fast to heat up, and does the job quickly * it works with tap water * it's not only lightweight to hang up, but clearly lightweight to push around * it gets the mud and dirt off the floor with very little effort on my part Here's what I don't love about it: * holding down the "trigger" that releases the steam starts to hurt…the edges of the plastic could certainly be smoother * the literature is not clear, and it may be much better to use bottled water, which would make it not free to use (I was trying to avoid having to purchase disposable pads and special cleaners, and wanted to use tap water–free water). I'm choosing to ignore the possibility, and if it shells out early because I'm using our hard water, then I'll just buy another, because it wasn't that expensive. * it doesn't scrub spots as well as I'd hoped, and it didn't work any magic on areas of my new-ish grouted vinyl tile floor that still appear to be dirty from the installation. So, does that mean there's still dirt there that this isn't getting? Could be. Could also be that it's my imagination–the color of the floor is such that I could indeed be seeing a couple spots as dirt when those spots are in fact simply the color of tile. Does anyone else look at my floor right after I mop it, and tell me I missed a couple spots? Never. Bottom line, I've pulled this thing out every other day since I bought it a couple weeks ago, and in five minutes or less have the day's mud cleaned up (we have a dog, and get little muddy feet marks regularly). I'd buy this again, and recommend it to anyone who just wants an inexpensive way to get the floor cleaned up with little physical effort so they can go to the gym and get their exercise there! 🙂stitchincarol

Through the years i have tried almost every floor steamer. This lift off 2 in 1 steamer is the best I've used. I rescue senior dogs. Some seniors are incontinent. I use my steamer everyday. During the covid 19 self quarantine mine broke because my daughter put bleach in the water tank. I couldn't find this streamer anywhere, everyone was out of stock. I bought another one, different brand, it was ok but didn't steam and clean the way this one does. Everyday I got more and more anxious waiting for this streamer to be available. I finally got another one yesterday and I was using it within 10 minutes. Since this steamer is a really good price I ordered a second one that should be delivered today. Now I'll have 3 steamers, 2 of this bissell steamer and the one off brand I bought when I was desperate. I showed my daughter that I have a spray bottle of bleach and water that i spray the grout lines with then steam to not put bleach in the water tank. Thank you Bissell for making products, especially this steamer for heavy user people like me that have lots of rescue dogs that go through my house.Margie Mom

This is by far the best mop I used. Bye-bye swiffer sweeper!!! It leaves the floor sparkling clean and shiny! I am a Korean descent, I am barefoot in the house so clean floor is a must! My mom's generations still believe in getting down on their knees to hand mop the floor, LOL, they have no faith that these modern day mops can do the work, but boy, I can't wait to show her the cleaning power of this steam mop. This steam mop makes my mopping so much easier and makes me happy to walk around barefoot without any dust or residue left on the floor. The triangle head is compact and it's easier to get the corners than the traditional rectangular mop. Only thing I didn't like was the button on the handle which I have to press continuously to let out the steam, guess this is part of the "on demand steam" feature. What I didn't realize before purchasing was that if you don't push the button, you can't release the water so it's either steam or dry mop. Nonetheless, it's fantastic and I can't wait to use to clean my bathroom tile wall.Sylvia

I just bought this product a half hour ago, brand new and unopened. Got it home. Put it together. Read the instructions. Filled the tank with water and plugged it in. The light blinked and then stayed on so I started mopping. It pumped almost half the tank of water out before it heated enough to produce steam. Once it started producing steam, it worked relatively well but still wasn't creating a lot of steam compared to the instruction video on this site. It was barely warm to the touch. First use jitters perhaps. Once the tank ran dry, I unplugged it, removed the tank, refilled it and put it back in place, plugged it back in and waited for the process to resume. Once the light remained on, I fired it up. All it does now is spit water out on the floor. No heat at all. I took the head and handle off to see if it would work in the hand-held configuration but, no. All it is now apparently is a very weak, low volume water pump. Unless some responds to this review promptly and can figure out how to get it working, back to the store it goes I guess.Paul

My wife and I love the Shark Steam Pocket Mop. It was easy to assemble and did not require any tools. The directions are easy to follow and it comes with a measuring cup to make it easy to fill with distilled water. We filled it with water, plugged it in, waited 30-45 seconds, and began mopping. If you want more steam, just pump the handle a few times and it increases the amount of steam released. It works great around the stove to remove oil that splatters out of the pan. It is also great for use in the bathroom to disinfect the area around the toilet. It comes with two mop covers that are machine washable. We use it on our porcelain tile and hardwood floors and it works great. I wish it held more water so I did not have to refill it as often. It is small and lightweight but does a great job steaming the dirt and grime off our floors. I highly recommend the Shark Steam Pocket Mop!Joseph12

Right out of the box, this mop was easy to assemble and begin using. It is recommended that you only use distilled water in the mop. I used the mop on my tile floors and it was very easy to move around since it was so lightweight. It dries very quickly and cleans and sanitizes. I love that the cloth attachment comes off so easily and can be thrown in the washing machine. It would be nice if it were cordless/battery powered, but the cord is long enough that I was able to get around most of the house. I also wish it held a little more water so that it didn’t have to be refilled so frequently. Overall this is a great mop, is easy to use, and dries quickly without leaving a chemical smell or residue.sage33

We had two different inexpensive steam mops when we lived in the UK. They were easy to use and made cleaning up the kitchen or bathroom a breeze. They last longer if you use distilled water because it was eventually the hard water that built up in the first one that it quit steaming after 3-4 years of steady use. When we returned to the US, I bought this one based on the good reviews. It came with two washable pads which is convenient and you can use either side for cleaning. However, I was disappointed to find after buying it that the pumping action is necessary to produce the steam. This means when you are trying to push it or pull it across the floor, a lot of the energy you put in results in the handle going inward instead of the mop moving. This makes it much more laborsome to mop and makes for a sore arm. This was annoying at first but after a few month it stopped producing much (or any steam) and instead drips water on the floor behind it. So now we basically have a $60 piece of junk as it doesn't steam.Ticket to Ride fans

I bought this item after being a continuous swiffer wet jet user. Every time a new version would come out, I'd buy the newest one. And this was a great item, for the amount of time it lasted.. I used it for about 7 months & the trigger pulley for the steam boost broke off down inside the stick. And the way it is designed makes it impossible to fix or replace just the broken part, as there are no parts available for this issue. The trigger actually engages & connects all the way down the entire stick, which is completely enclosed, so even if it just slipped off the hook inside, you still have a useless steam boost that still works, heats up & comes on, but because you have to pull the trigger, to engage the steam whenever you need it, you basically have a steam mop that's warmed & ready, but with no way to use it. I do have to say though, I am a mother of 6 children, and this thing would clean up even the stickiest of messes!! It would make the entire house smell wonderful (I always bought the gain scent) & I always know that the germs are being killed wherever I mop! And, even though it's so much more convenient & sanitary than reusable mopping pads, these steam boost pads can get quite expensive if your entire house is all hard flooring. But it was well worth it to me not having to worry about washing my mop pads every single day & having to wash it by hand if it gets dirty before I'm done mopping. But at the same time, even though they can get expensive, 1 mop pad does quite a large area. And it's better for me to know that my mop pad I just used in the bathroom, isn't being used in the kitchen, etc. I just toss the germs in the trash can, along with my worries of cross-contamination! So yes, even though the trigger mechanism broke rather quickly on my unit, I still got tons of use out of it & I'm actually shopping for a new steam boost right now to replace my broken one. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, just go easy on the steam boost trigger, and try not to just 'let it go' when you are disengaging the trigger as I believe this made it wear out & eventually break the inner mechanism much faster. Also, the kids will fight over 'who gets to mop'!! It heats up in about 30 seconds & it was well-worth the price. I just hope they fix the design-flaw of the trigger, so it's not totally enclosed inside the stick. Or, they start offering a part to fix this flaw. I am buying it for my 2nd time & would again because I certainly got my money's worth of cleaning out of it! It's lightweight, easy to get out & put up, heats up quickly, has a convenient hanging hook, and it cleans awesome!!Jessers320

My Wife and daughter love this steam mop however, we are on our third one (4th if you include my daughter). We bought our first a few years ago. After using it for a few months, we bought a second one for the upstairs so my wife would not have to carry it up and down the stairs. At the same time we bought one for my daughter. It was not long before the trigger on the first one broke. Perhaps a year and a half or so… So my wife reverted to carrying the newer one up and down the stairs again. Within the year the trigger on the second one broke and when my wife told my daughter about it my daughter said something to the effect of "Oh yeah, mine broke too. I forgot to tell you. We waited a while and then I bought another one for my wife. The trigger on this one just broke. So 4 have broken in as many years. The reality is that its more coast effective for me to just buy another one than to spend my time complaining to the company. Enough however, is enough. you need to be made aware,YET AGAIN, that you have a defective design. GREAT PRODUCT but with a defect. Every time it's the same thing, the steam trigger breaks. I have taken it apart and have determined that the 2 plastic nubs on the side of the trigger which hold the trigger into the fulcrum of the pivot inside of he handle have broken off. There is also another plastic catch which has two sides to it and one of those sides had broken off. I have read enough of these reviews to have been made aware that this is a known issue with this model and that MANY other people have experienced the EXACT SAME issue. Might I suggest that if Bissell intends to continue to market this model, that you simply re-design your trigger and make it in Metal and while you are at it, put a trigger lock on it. At the very least, make the trigger out of metal.Eric

This is my second time with this particular steam mop. The first time about 4 to 6 months after purchase the steam mop would not stay straight it kept twisting and turning and was difficult to maneuver. I liked this mop because it steamed and smelled very nice and floors looked clean and shiny. However, I decided to get a new one. I've had this one for about 4 yrs and only use it ocassionally. Well sadly the trigger handle snapped as the two tiny plastic pieces that hold it in place broke off of the trigger handle so now when I squeeze the connection cannot be made for the steam to be released. When I opened it I saw the cheap plastic and two little tiny bits that broke off so I figured I would go on line and find the part replacement at Bissell. Unfortunately, this part and NO other parts for this steam mop are manufactured for replacement. I think when you sell a product with cheap parts that are easily broken you should at least manufacture replacement parts because it is very likely they are going to break easily and you are going to have some very unhappy consumers. As much as I used to like this product when I bought first one, after the second time around I am convienced that I will NOT be purchasing this product nor recommending it to anyone :(. Very dissatisfied when I called and was told they are sorry they have no replacement (s) for this product. My Advice: DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON ITEMS THAT ARE MADE WITH CHeAP PLASTIC PARTS (especially when there are no replacements 🙁Miss Valentina

I was looking for a lightweight steam mop. After researching dozens of items and reading a multitude of reviews, I decided to give the Bissell Power Fresh 2-in-1 a try. I must say, it was the BEST decision I've made in a long time. It's easy to assemble and use and it does a great job of cleaning without harsh chemicals (pet and children safe). My Main Reasons for purchasing the Bissell 2-in-1: 1) It has a visible water tank so you always know how much water you have left. Although the tank seems small, I was able to do my kitchen and dining room before having to refill it (and I was using the "steam" constantly). 2) It heats up quickly (within a minute or two) and has a light which shows you when it's ready. 3) It's lightweight (approximately 5-6 lbs) and maneuverable. 4) I have 2 dogs who are constantly going in and out and a lot of foot traffic. The microfiber pad, which was already installed, cleaned the floor swiftly and completely. It was easy to remove and when I put it in the washing machine with detergent ONLY (no bleach or fabric softener) it came out clean and fresh. 5) I wanted a "corded" steamer so that I could do all my rooms without interruption and there were only few models with cords. If you have a large space there is nothing worse than having to stop every 20 minutes to "recharge" the cordless models. 5) Assembling the steamer was a breeze. Snap the handles and water tank in and you're ready to go. 6) Also, Bissell supposedly donates a portion of their proceeds to helping animals. I can't verify whether or not this is true but, if so, this is the "icing on the cake" for me.Jo

I have had a steamer on my wish list for long time, so when I received this one from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I couldn't wait to try it out! I was impressed to find out that this steamer is actually made to be used on other hard surfaces in addition to the floors, so we put that feature to use immediately. I first tried it in the bathroom, where there are lots of surfaces to be sanitized (having 5 boys in the family means lots of cleaning up in our bathroom). We first used it on the tile floor, then removed the long handle, and used the steamer in hand held mode to make it easier to clean the countertops and faucet, hard to reach/clean areas around the toilet, and the tile and grout around the bathtub. Being able to use this as a mop and then as a hand held steamer is really my favorite thing about it. We also took it outside and used it on the metal security door with great results. Other places we used it include the kitchen sink, faucet, and handles; the washing machine, the dishwasher, all the door handles, and a weird sticky stain on a door! We also use it weekly on our engineered hardwood floors and have had great results. You have to be careful to not leave in it one spot for a long time, or it could damage the wood. However, we've had no issues whatsoever using it for four months. Since we have small children, I really appreciate the ability to sanitize things without using chemicals that can be dangerous and unhealthy. I admit that it took me a while (and some research) to believe that the steam was actually sanitizing. I think I simply was used to the idea that you have to have gloves and a strong smell and toxic chemicals to really sanitize something! This is just so much easier and safer! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to sanitize (or just clean) in a safe way.amberhowardhere

Love this mop. Cleans carpets, windows, furniture, just think of what you could possibly clean. Believe it or not this mop with detachable handheld steamer will remove wrinkles before your eyes. BEST PART, it takes regular tap water. Awesome absolutely amazing tool. Comes with attachments. Clean grout, windows, baseboards, even removes paint mishaps from your wood floors, not floor finish. Talk about bare feet on a clean wood floor, Whoa baby! I never could get a shark to last over 1/2 a year if that. Sturdy and flexible and what a blessing!Grimm

u hust received this item today. I was excited to use it si ive only used this one time so far, on my hardwood floors. It heated up quickly and lasted longer than expected. It was able to get up some spots that regular swiffering or mopping couldnt get. I do not like how short the cord is. I dont have a large house and my stuck vacuum can be plugged in the center of the house and go everywhere. This steam mop have to be plug in two separate outlets, and would've been more if I did the whole house. Also i don't like that the plug can't be clipped on the cord to store. That seems like its just obvious for it to gave that little extra piece. Those are my reviews so far. I'll update if it warrants.Tracy

we moved homes and omg, when I say this, I mean it, but this is my absolute most favorite utility ever. the previous home owners weren't exactly the cleanest and this steam vacuum wasn't gonna take any of that. paint on the floor that even those industrial grade stain removers couldnt peel? no problem. sticky icky gooey set in mess on the counter? no problem. nasty stains in the bathtub? no problem. disgusting window stuff? consider it gone. cabinets dirty and messy? not anymore. this little tool has been phenomenal when it came to cleaning everything around the house, the house legitimately felt like it was brand new after we were done with rhis. btw for anyone wondering, I did all this by using the pressure attachment only on the steam vacuum, nothing else. while steaming the messy spots, I would rub it back and forth with the steam vacuums nozzle itselfShamim

My wife and i were totally happy and satisfied with your product ( the McMculloch canister steam system) We cleaned the kitchen sinks, the Granite counter tops, and ceramic floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. We also cleaned the sinks and showers and toilets. We were amazed with the results. Would I purchase this product again? Yes in a heart beat. Robert J. SmithRobert

I purchased this unit to detail a car. However we have used it to clean shower trim and tile grout and it has done a super job. The amount of accessories is fantastic. My only regret not buying one earlier.Richard

I love this steam cleaner it makes cleaning so much easier and knowing I'm not using harsh chemicals makes me even happier. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I wish the steam would last longer before having to refill. Otherwise it's a great cleaner. Every home needs onerobin.s

I had the older model which required you to pump the handle to create steam….the newer model doesn't need this! All yo do is turn it on, set the steam level and mop. It creates 3 times the steam as the older model and seems to use water at a slower rate. I have 3 small dogs which stay in the kitchen when we aren't at home and the Shark does a great job when it comes to time to clean up their little messes. The unit also has a "sanitizer" function which can come in great if you have little ones who lie to crawl across the floor. Overall, well worth the purchase!lvwtrga

The Shark Professional Dust, Mop, and Scrub Steam Electric Corded Pocket Mop is a great product to use for fast cleaning your floors. I used the mop on tile in my hallway and linoleum in my kitchen and bathrooms. It is a user friendly product that gives your floors a good clean with just water and steam. You certainly have to be very careful not to touch the area where the steam shoots up. Keep away from children and pets at all times. I highly recommend reading the pamphlets that come with this Shark mop. It clearly states what you need to be aware of such as what types of flooring are best suited for use with high heat mops. The mop is very easy to assemble. I just had to get a screwdriver from my tool box to screw in a large screw. I like how easy it is to fill with water and you just have to wait a minute for it to heat up. There are two different mop heads that come with washable microfiber cleaning pads which are easy to install. You can dust, mop or scrub the floors with the different settings on the display area. I am pleased with how easy the mop maneuvers. It gets the edges and corners fairly well. I make sure to keep moving and not letting the mop rest in one area so I don't chance damaging my linoleum with the high heat. With tile I know it takes the heat better so I don't worry much about the steam. I like that it cleans with just water and steam so no chemicals are on my floors which is better for me, my family and pets. I enjoy using this Shark mop and I actually have fun using it.sspencervip

I bought this for our office, and since we're a manufacturer we have all kinds of feet on our floors. That means dirt, oil, mud…I can't mop every day. I was really impressed with the three levels of steam power-the heaviest one will leave your floors wetter so it should really only be used for the stuck on stuff. The mop heads are the same size as the basic models-just as easy to change and rotate the pads. This one features a heavy-duty dust mop included, as well as an interchangeable triangle head for tight corners. This is SO much easier than dragging around a traditional mop and pail…no heavy lifting, dumping and filling, no harsh chemicals (please note you *can* purchase a floor cleaner for this mop if you want). Also easy to fill, empty and store. Five stars for making a hard job a lot easier!performancemfgcorp

I had the orange and white steam mop. But I really loved this product. It was an excellent steam cleaner, got really hot, had a larger size water reservoir than other brands and had a nice pocket on the cloth mop pads where you put special scent disks that added a nice light clean scent that regular traditional mopping provides that is missing when using steam cleaners. I think i actually liked this better than the different shark mops I’ve owned. It definitely out lasted my shark pocket mops and I used plain tap water and not distilled as recommended and it never clogged up like other ones have. The only reason I’m no longer using this mop is my old house has janky electric sockets so the plug was getting too hot and was tripping my breakers. But I gave it to my best friend and she said the plug doesn’t even get warm so it was not the mops plug or wiring that was bad it’s my outlets. So this is an all around great, long lasting steam mop!trina.c

I bought this when it was deeply discounted to replace my other current options, which were either a bucket/mop with a lil fabuloso or pinesol or getting on my hands and knees with a rag. I already have a Dyson handheld cordless vacuum, so I decided not to get the vacuum steam mop combo version, and just get this lighter steam mop only instead. Just as the Dyson made me not mind vacuuming, I thought that getting the lighter steam mop would do the same for me but for mopping, even though it's corded. I have to say, it does what it says it'll do. It's not as detailed as spending hours in the floor with a hand-rag, or as deep cleaning as soaking the tile floor with a mop-bucket but it's wayyyyy less mess, dries wayyyy faster, it's wayyyy more ergonomic, and more likely that I'll do this more often than the other two methods, which was basically out of desperation once a year. I also really like that the pads are reusable and washable, even if it's kind of a pain to remember to wash them, and don't even mind the cord. It's the perfect length to cover my entire kitchen without unplugging. Glad I held out for this. I'm actually looking forward to having and maintaining somewhat clean floors from now on. #sweepstakesErin

First of all, Use distilled water only & it will work longer… just like an iron. Important to use distilled water!!! I have had mine for over 10 years . It still works great, has no handle (broke cause I dropped too many’s times) It still cleans like a champ! Dogs, cats , kids & I absolutely still my favorite part of cleaning! Is a must! My shark has 3 settings turn on & go still scalding hot! Love it!Artzyfartzy in Cali

Ok, where has this hark – Shark® Professional Steam Pocket® Mop been all my life? Previously, I had always used a regular broom and mop to clean my floors and thought that was enough. Well, after this pandemic hit, I really wanted to be sure to keep my home clean and sanitized. Well, look no further. This mop steamer is amazing! It has 3 functions, light dust, steam and scrub. Well, I started with the steam function first, and was amazed at how gently it steamed my floors. I had a few spots that needed a little extra tmatrwntion, so I switched to scrub mode which was pretty amazing roo. I then completed the floors on steam. When I was done, my floors looked better than they ever had, and were so clean I felt like I could eat off the floors!! The pad is easy to remove and hand or machine washable. Comes with 2 pads which is great. I would indeed recommendChellester

I had this steam mop PRE pandemic and unfortunately in a move, lost it. So I bought the new improved one. What a loss. My old one was a pump steam feature which allowed more controlled steam from the human cleaning. This new one “automatic” and is so sporadic it’s annoying. It does a full blast of steam for around 20seconds. Then stops all steam to build up steam momentum, in which you lose about 30-40 seconds waiting. It’s a lot of wait time for a good clean. In which it does clean well. But it’s so annoying. I want the old technology. I could pump the handle on the old one, to release as much steam as I wanted and use an entire container of water in one steam moment, if I wanted to! This one is too time consuming. Until the end, in which you save a dirty spot, and you turn off the machine and GIANT puffs of steam emit, in which you can scrub to your hearts delight. Unfortunately I prefer steamed water to clean so I will keep this dumb upgrade. I miss my old one.ThisGirl

I bought this two months ago to replace my previous Shark steam mop (a different model), which my daughter "borrowed". I have also had other brands of steam mops in the past. I like that the water tank is removable and can be filled directly from the tap and there is not a little jug which needs to be stored somewhere. I like that it is light and relatively small and hence easy to store and carry. I also like that it stands up by itself. My previous mop had the flip over option and the cloth was like a pocket, with only one side open. Unfortunately it shrank on its first wash and never fitted properly again, often coming off mid-mopping (one of the reasons I did not press y daughter to return it), so I liked that this model's cloth attached differently. The bit I did not anticipate with this model was that whilst the cloths stays on fine when mopping hard floors, I cannot use it to steam clean carpets as the cloths sticks to the carpet in preference to the mop. I wish I had known this before buying this mop. This is the first steam mop I have had where you have to prime the pump to get the steam flowing. This requires you to pump the handle a few times. What the instructions do not say is that you have to continue the pumping action to keep the steam flowing. Now, this happens automatically as you are mopping the floor, but when you stop to move the mop around furniture (which most of us have on our floors) the steam stops and then you have to pump it several times to get it going again. Same issue if you want to hold the mop on a stain to give it a while to soften, steam flow stops. So, overall I would not rush to buy this model again, despite it having some good features.CN263

If you are looking for a small, steam mop that delivers big results, look no further! I decided going in, that this steam mop was going to just be mediocre. But, much to my surprise, cleaned like no one’s business! The little water basin could be a little larger, but it’s not a deal breaker imo. Once plugged in, expect to be ready to mop away in about 20-30 seconds. Yes, for once a product literally gives an accurate description. I use a spray bottle with 1-3 ratio of vinegar water and spray as I mop to give a little extra disinfectant. By the end of my clean, my washable reusable mop pad is filthy with yuck. Let me also state, I use my shark mop FIRST (vacuumChrista

The mop was super quick and easy to set up and the longer cable meant getting around large floors wasn’t such a task after all, I was reluctant to buy in favour of a cordless but couldn’t find one, I guess for electrical safety reasons these cannot be cordless. Plenty of steam, remember to do the pump action if you experience low steam with it. It takes me moments to go around and do all of our floors here, and the mop came with two pads so I’m not without if the other one hasn’t gone in with the mucky wash yet. The pad head itself twists around in movement so I can easily manoeuvre it down the sides of the toilet and any other skinny gap floor areas that fit. The price was competitive in the sale, and for something as good as this I would go as far as saying overall my purchase is outstanding. Highly recommend!Rachel
