20 Best Steam Mop For Marble 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

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 was hesitant to buy this steam cleaner at first since I had never had one before and didn’t really know what I was getting into/if I actually really needed it, but boy am I sure glad that I did!! I got this as a birthday present for myself, so with that being said, the standard set for this was pretty high. We just moved into a new construction 3 months ago (with both a dog and a cat), and this steam mop has taken our BRAND NEW floors to a whole new level. I’m not kidding. These floors are now cleaner than the day we moved into the house, and if you ask me, that’s pretty impressive. We had also previously tried using the Bona floor mop/cleaning system with their solution for hard floors, but it doesn’t even touch how clean I was able to get the floors with the Shark Genius Steam Mop… with just water!! I’m excited to see what it can do with a cleaning solution if it can accomplish what it did for me with just water. The only negative thing that I have to say about this product is that the steam blaster really doesn’t perform as well as I imagined it would. It works well for some things, but others, it’s almost useless. I’m hoping that using a solution will make this feature more effective. Also, I do wish that the cord was a bit longer. Other than that, it’s a fantastic product!Alyssandra

I have been cleaning homes since 1998 and I have tried different methods to cleaning floors though many do the job nothing cleans as deeply and sanitizes floors better than this Genius steamer mop. I have used other steamer mops that my clients owned an even the same company this steamer mop holds up to its name as being plain Genius because its a no hassle with trying to get the pads on and I must make an important note here I have bought both Bed, Bath and Beyond pads and the ones you can by from Amazon (though I love Amazon) yes you can get an extra one in the package and they are cheaper priced they are also cheaper made as far as material and the pockets you slip the pad on aren't made as well. The steamer cleans so well that the pads get really dirty so if they get dirty I would recommend washing them as normal in the washing machine to get the most of the yuck off of them then soak them over night. If your floors are really bad then mop them first or as I do I use the Bissell floor machine first (which btw I give that machine 5 stars as well) and go over and over the floors especially if you haven't deep cleaned your floors before once you do then use the steamer mop. I have clients who have had me do it this way and even though they don't have dirty floors the steamer mop allows a more beautiful shine and floors stay cleaner so much longer!! Bissell is especially needed if you have pets to pull off the hair that can stick to the floor even after vacuuming. I don't always have time to do this 2-3 step process but its not always necessary if your floors have been cleaned well just steamer mop can keep it maintained if you do it once or twice a week pending on the traffic type in your home. Oh, another important reason This streamer is Genius compared to the older models is that you don't have to lay the machine on the floor or countertop to put the water in it. I pour it straight from the jug to the machine standing up. Make sure you use distilled water because you will get more life out of your steamer since distilled water is super purified that will not corrode your machine parts like tap water. Many of my clients loved how beautiful this steamer did for their floors so they bought their own and how easy it was to clean with and not having to buy anymore floor cleaner saves them so much money and not running the risk of having product buildup on their floors that can leave floors sticky, dull and streaky. Makes for a great Gift to!!!BBB Customer

I'm very sad that this product only lasted two years (which of course is one year beyond the warranty). I was thrilled with it when I got it. So much so that I bought one for my vacation home. Around it's second birthday, it started clicking like it was out of water (when it definitely was not) and making minimal steam. I've only used distilled water in it. After reading the Troubleshooting Guide, I called Customer Service. The first person took my phone number, disconnected me and didn't call me back. The second person offered to sell me a new mop head at roughly one-third of the original purchase price of the entire mop system. I know the mop head is NOT what's causing the problem because when I take the mop head off, I still don't get steam. I will likely go back to my old-school Swiffer.Patricia

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

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 have had this steam cleaner for about a year, I absolutely love it! However there are some issue that have to be solved. The biggest disappointment is the fabric steamer attachement, it is faulty. It does not snap into place as well as the other pieces. I have had 2 others went to me and they all do the same thing. As you are using this attachment, it will come off on its own. Very dangerous in my opinion. I constantly have to hold the steamer at an angle so it does not detach. Also, this machine needs an on off switch instead of a trigger. It becomes annoying after a while. And lastly, the stick has become loose, it moves side to side when using.Sandra

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

This steam mop is perfect for our home. The triangular cleaning surface makes maneuvering around furniture and corners a breeze. The water reservoir is more than ample. It heats up quickly and the cleaning pads are washable.Shannon

This is a perfect, “reliable” steaming mop! Works great with all sorts of sanitizers too, so you do not have to worry! The included microfibre pads are fantastic and work well on oak floors. The cable is very long and folds up neatly. A real 10/10!T. R.

Great quality deep steam mop. The very long cord (21-foot long) allows for much easier maneuvers between furniture haha! Also, the included pads are great for wooden flooring. Thanks so much!Sharon J.

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

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

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

I have owned a few steam mops so I know my steam mops. The Sharper Image SI-160 stood out to me as it’s much sturdier than I’m used to. The parts are made of stronger material which makes me feel it’ll stand the test of time. The mop is triangular in shape which I imagine is to assist in to getting in to tight areas and corners. The mop was easy to assemble and the water reservoir was easy to fill. I did find that it took a few tries to actually get the steam to start coming. I pressed the button on and off a few times until it got going, but once it did, it stayed on. This steam mop didn’t leave my floors wet as others do, rather lightly damp. The steam level can be adjusted, though I used it at max steam. I was happy to see that it was successful in getting out a couple of stubborn built up spots on my floors. The cord is long which is a well thought out detail, letting me continuously mop the floors throughout my apartment. The mop doesn’t have an area to loop the cord around, which I thought was lacking. I also found the mop to be on the heavy side (along the lines of a vacuum cleaner). I guess that is due to it not being made of flimsy material, though I still do wish it was a bit lighter. My biggest issue with this mop is that it doesn’t stand on its own. You need to lean the handle against something as the handle doesn’t prop up to stand. I also found that the buttons didn’t fully snap into place as they should, though perhaps I need to be more forceful in snapping it into place. I haven’t used it in the handheld form yet but I’m excited to. This feature is so innovative and I love that it’s all integrated into one product. The harder brush for the mop may be interesting to try out as well for the really tough stains. All in all, I find this mop to be innovative and generally well made.Estilee

It’s okay. It’s not out of this world like the reviews led me to believe. I based my purchase on the reviews. When I got my steam mop, there was a piece missing. I’ll say that the sharper image company did get that rectified quickly. Target said they couldn’t get a hold of the vendor, not sure how I was able to do it so successfully. Target wanted me to return it. It takes at least a minute to warm up and seems to steam mop well. I’ll be getting something else to use in between steam mopping.Mapia

First time ever using this brand steam mop and found it to work really well. Assembling it is a breeze. The spout cup is easy to fill (just slide the rubber piece over to fill it and put back into place) and snap it into the handle. When I plugged it in (there’s no on/off button), it said it would be ready to use within 25-30 seconds but I just heard a ticking noise but I think that was just the water seeping into the mop and actually takes about a minute or two in order for it to be completely ready. The trigger, when pressed, releases the steam. I personally don’t care for the trigger because it seems to get in the way of handling the mop when mopping. I like the triangle head as it’s easy to reach into corners easier. The mop pad (two are included) stays on well with velcro and doesn’t slip or slide off. The mop glides very easily over floors and gets HOT! I was curious to see how hot it gets and was pleased at how well it steams! My floors look and feel clean so it does a great job at getting into the grooves on my floor. What I’m disappointed most about is that there isn’t a cord keeper on this mop and no place to keep the attachments. I can wrap it around the handle but it doesn’t really stay and constantly slips off. This could very easily be a five star mop if these two features could be improved. I would definitely purchase it again because the steam capability is wonderful.Shopaholic

The day I received the product it did not work. When I turned it on it clicked without any steam. I read it might click for a couple of minutes until the water was able to fill the reservoir, it never stopped clicking and never produced any steam. Don’t waste your money. Also having a difficult time getting instructions on a refund and how to return.61vicki

Love this mop when it works! 1st bought Aug2021 died Dec2021. Manufacturer unresponsive. Sams replaced free, got Jan2022 & has died Jul2022. Will not buy another. 🙁LawMomFL

I feel like I wasted money on my swiffer jet mop because that thing is cheaper, but it needs specific liquid and pads that end up costing a lot over time. And the pads are one time uses. I feel like I was basically spreading pleasant smelling liquid over my tile and hardwood floors instead of actually cleaning them. And I noticed if I didn't change the pad after I used it in a couple rooms then it would spread the bad odors to every following room. I saw these steam mops and decided to try it since I use steamers for my clothes and it works great. I am glad I switched to this steamer mop because it has saved me time and money. It actually cleans my tile floors without having to scrub dirt spots and even though I have dark hardwood, I can tell it cleaned it because all the pet odor is gone afterwards. I actually lightly misted my floor with some febreeze(probably not the best idea lol) and then did a quick once over with the steam and it served it's purpose of adding a nice smell. This mop is nice because I set it to max for my tiles and then reduced the steam setting when I did my hardwood since I'm not sure if you should add that much moisture to hardwood??? I also love the fact you don't need to buy anything else, just use water and you can just wash the mop pads after you're done so you can keep using same ones. I also like the really long power cord just for the convenience. I honestly don't know if all steam mops are this good or if they are all the same, but I do know if you don't have a steam mop yet, you need to buy one!Matt

We have a few thousand square feet of glazed ceramic tile in our home, therefore we hoped that the Shark Steam & Scrub, Scrubbing and Sanitizing Steam Mop Model S7001 would be a new, better method of keeping those floors clean and sanitary. We have other Shark products which perform well, thus we had high expectations for the Steam & Scrub mop. My initial impressions are somewhat mixed, and somewhat less than we had hoped for. The Shark Steam & Scrub Steam Mop requires very minimal assembly. Snap in the upper handle and it is ready for the attachment of the scrubbing pads, filling with distilled water and almost immediate use. The Model S7001 has a few upgraded features as compared to the more basic Model S7000. The Shark Steam & Scrub uses two microfiber scrubbing pads, and comes with a total of four pads. The pads are composed of Polyester and Nylon which washes clean very easily, and should also be reasonably durable. Replacement pads are also available. The Steam & Scrub also comes with a plastic cup which Shark refers to as a filling “flask”, which is uniquely shaped to accommodate the narrow lid of the water tank. The cup holds approximately 8 ounces of water, and the water tank on the Shark Steam & Scrub has a capacity of approximately 16 ounces. I found that when operated primarily in the “Normal” cleaning mode, 16 ounces of distilled water provided approximately 30 minutes of steam operation. Shark recommends using only distilled water, which is clearly intended to prevent the formation of mineral scale deposits which would occlude the steam producing components. Shark does not approve of using any other fluids or chemicals in the water tank, including vinegar. Since vinegar cannot be used, the Shark cannot be readily descaled if mineral deposits resultant from using tap water were to clog the internal components. The supplied microfiber scrubbing pads are easily attached to the bottom of the unit. They are a large 7-¼” diameter which gives the Shark Steam & Scrub a wide cleaning path. The scrubbing pads have an integral donut shaped plastic ring with teeth that align with slots in the drive spindles. The attachment of the scrubbing pads to the spindles is completed with four Velcro pads. Even with the integral alignment aid, the scrubbing pads do not center absolutely perfectly, which results in minor oscillation of the mop head while in operation. The Shark Steam & Scrub is equipped with a very long power cord of over 22 feet, which is very convenient in reducing the necessity to unplug and reconnect at other electrical receptacles. There is cord storage on the handle, but there are no provisions for storage of the scrubbing pads. The unit is very lightweight, and subject to tipping over if left upright and unattended with the power cord dangling. The Steam & Scrub is rated at 1120 watts, which means that it is drawing 9.3 amperes of current. Resultantly, the electrical resistance potential of the long power cord can result in the cord and plug feeling slightly warm; but not dangerously hot. Preparing the Steam & Scrub for use simply required filling the water tank with about 16 ounces of distilled water utilizing the provided filling flask, attaching two microfiber scrubbing pads to the spindles, plugging the unit in and cycling the single control button on the front of the unit to the desired cleaning mode. Tilting the handle back towards the operator activates the motor which drives the rotating scrubbing pads. The Model S7001 has three Cleaning Modes, as compared to the two modes of the Model S7000. The Cleaning Modes are “Light”, “Normal” and “Deep”. The Model S7001 is differentiated by the addition of the Deep cleaning mode that the S7000 lacks. Both the amount of steam generated and the rotational speed of the scrubbing pads are controlled by each of the Cleaning Modes, with “Deep” cleaning mode producing the most steam (and consuming water fastest) and using the highest scrubbing speed. The Steam & Scrub carton label claims that the scrubbing pads rotate at 150 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), presumably at top speed in Deep cleaning mode. The S7001 is also differentiated by its mop head having two, four LED “headlights” which are very effective. Shark also makes the product claim that the Steam & Scrub “Steam Sanitizes 99.9% Bacteria Removal”. It is important to understand the steam sanitization capabilities and procedures in order to evaluate whether or not the Steam & Scrub will meet user needs and expectations. The following is excerpted directly from the Shark Steam & Scrub User Manual, and explains how sanitization may be accomplished in actual use: TO SANITIZE*: 1 Attach clean Dirt Grip® Soft Scrub Pads to the scrubbing mop head. 2 Plug in the unit, tilt the mop handle down, and press the mode button to select the DEEP setting. The pads will then start spinning. 3 Wait 30 seconds for the unit to begin producing steam. 4 Start mopCurmudgeon1

The machine works as stated and I really liked it but it leaves terrible swirl and streak marks on the floor. If you have a small floor with no windows to shine across them you won’t notice. But if you have a long expansive hallway like mine you will. I used distilled water and cleaned the floor several times with fresh pads (8) just to be sure it wasn’t residual cleaning product from previous cleaners. Returning is becoming a nightmare! They want me to ship this one back to them and send me a new one. Like that will do anything but cost me time and aggravation. But here’s the kicker, you can’t get the handle back off to ship it back! The CS agent told me to get something bent just perfectly to fit behind the hook where the cord goes and stick it in there. Lol!!!! Even if I had this magic tool the pin is not visible to push it with. I currently await a call back because it ain’t happening. This is a huge pain!! I’m including pictures but it’s difficult to see in photos. They are much more prominent in person.Momof3

This Shark Steam and Scrub Steam Mop offers outstanding cleaning power and a lightweight, easy to handle design. The steering and maneuverability are remarkable, and make cleaning my hard floors as easy as can be. The smooth handling, low-profile design allows me to reach tight spaces around the house with ease. It is perfect for scrubbing big or small areas around the house. Even though it is compact and lightweight, I was quite impressed with how effective it is at cleaning and sanitizing hard floors. The cleaning method it uses is a combination of steam and rotating heavy-duty cleaning pads. I really like that after it is used, all that remains is a very slight dampness that quickly dries, unlike a traditional mop. It features 3 cleaning levels: Light, Normal, and Deep. Included is a water filling flask, and I was surprised by how little water it takes to fill the reservoir, and how long it lasted with the water tank filled. I used it on the Normal setting, and was able to clean my Master Bath, Home Office, and Living Room one one and half tanks of water. The water reservoir is very easy to fill because it takes so little water and thankfully there is no dirty water reservoir to drain. It feels very well built and is exactly what I would expect at this price point. The cleaning pads are suitably heavy duty, and I expect them to last quite awhile. Shark has included 2 extra cleaning pads, for a total of four in the package. The cleaning pads are washable, but what I have been doing is hand washing them with dish detergent. It features bright LED lights that are useful for illuminating hard to see areas. Another great feature is the 22 foot long power cord that minimizes the amount of times that I have to change outlets.Kotor

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 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

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 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

I love this steamer. I tried it on my carpet in the living area of my apartment. To my surprise, it did a great job! You could actually see the difference. I had used a carpet cleaner once and this did a better job!! Sure glad I made the purchase!!!GG

I have two long haired cats. In my kitchen near the stove I had a lot grease buildup from cooking. Lately I stated to notice my cats hair was shredding and the loose hair was now getting in the grease. I ordererorderer the H20 Mop because I really needed some help. This product took just minutes to put together. The water heats up even quicker and it really did the job. The steam loosens up the grease and the hair, and with one wipe it came off. I can't wait to tackle my bathroom. But this saved me a lot embarassment since my family is coming over for the holidays. No one would have wanted to cook in my kitchen before. It was really nasty.kes

It takes less than a minute to warm up. The heat is hot enough to melt away candle wax and nail polish on hardwood floors. It is a little hard, however, to clean vehicle seats with but that's what a detailer is used for! I recommend it. I use it for my tub, my floors and my rugs. Best cleaning product I've owned so far.StopComplaining
