Bissell PowerFresh Lift-Off Pet Steam Mop, Steamer, Tile, Bathroom, Hard Wood Floor Cleaner, 1544A, Orange

This is a fairly lightweight steamer that is easy to use. It has multiple attachments to use with the detached steamer, has great steam pressure and the cord is long enough that you are not constantly having to unplug a move. Very versatile with multiple uses. Makes steam cleaning the floors very fast!

I must start out by saying, I did a ton of research before settling on this manufacturer and model of steam mop. A TON! And at the end of my search, I settled on this one, which seemed like a pretty good deal because it also included an extra mop cover and attachments.The first place I tried this mop was in the kitchen, with our horrible old linoleum floor. It’s ancient and has lots of issues, but I just wanted to finally get it as clean as possible while we’re waiting on the start of our remodel. Just using the standard mop cover that came with the steam mop, I gently pushed it across the floor and HOLY STEAM! It left a clean, slightly damp streak across the floor. My husband just happened to walk in when I did it and he was shocked it how much cleaner that section of floor was. The other side benefit to using a steam mop, is that it dries TONS FASTER than a traditional mop. I also DIDN’T USE any CLEANING PRODUCT, so there were no residual chemical scents in the kitchen when I finished, which is also a nice bonus.Once the floor was finished, I moved to the tile counter, which was even worse than the floor. The old grout was stained, chipped, and filthy. I had scrubbed and scrubbed at it in the past, but even after breaking a sweat, it hardly showed. With the angled brush head, I was able to remove a lot of the crud. The steam just blasted most of it off the grout! And again, I did this with steam alone, which means that once it is dry, I can refill some of those missing grout lines, to prevent some of this mess in the future. Although there are gaps in the grout, it looks SO MUCH BETTER! (The before picture is not the full counter, but this was the only one I took before I cleaned it. It was so embarrassing!)Very happy with this unit and can’t wait to start using it on the remodeled kitchen. It certainly makes these kinds of chores much easier, if not a little fun!

This steamer, when it works, is simply astonishing. We have granite floors almost all over the house, and we desperately needed something just like this. On smooth stone, it is a dream, glides beautifully and cleans better than anything I've ever seen before. I really had trouble deciding how many stars. When it works, amazing! But I know how flimsy it is, because I had to return the first one.This is the 2nd unit from Amazon. 20 minutes after receiving the first unit, when I assembled it, then removed the detachable part for the first time, to test the attachments, would not stick back on the unit. Nothing we did would make it latch again to the body part of the stick. We did not apply undue pressure, nor was the part broken, it simply didn't seem to clip in the correct spot. I returned it to Amazon and bought a replacement, which works incredibly well on the floor.The fact that we had that problem tells me that the item is simply not durable or well made. The 4 stars is because frankly, IF it makes it through steam cleaning my entire house just ONCE, it's cheaper than hiring a floor finisher for a single day, and I think/hope it will. Also, being able to deep clean the floor myself tells me it's really clean, and I can do it at my own pace. Any use beyond a single whole house floor deep cleaning is a bonus.One of the reasons I wanted this model in particular was for the window steaming squeegee. Unfortunately, I have to say that that part doesn't work well. It does steam, and it does squeegee, but it's very awkward, and very very wet. For an outdoor window, it would probably work to clean off dust and grime, but then you have a reach problem, unless your window tops are within reach (none of mine are, they are all taller than me outside).If it didn't steam as well as it actually does, I'd have given it 2 stars... but you know, when it works, it's a marvel. Incredibly easy to use, very balanced so you don't get tired, and I'd even say FUN to steam mop.I figure the water boiling element inside must resemble one of those instant teapots you plug in. They burn out if you let them dry out, so I am doing only small sections of the floor at a time. The thing about granite floors is that sweeping is generally enough, and stains are not visible, so we haven't deep cleaned it in, well, years. A whole house cleaning will take some time.Of course, I hope it lasts longer, but I won't complain if it doesn't. I will come back and drop the stars if it can't even make it through 1 cleaning 1 time. I know, I don't sound confident in the product, but hey, I had to return the first one, and I never even got to use it. I'll edit if I need to.
