Steam mop?

vintagefix · November 2010

I'm sure this was talked about at some point when we were all making our registries. I apologize if it's a repeat. I also tried to check the cleaning board on TN but they seem to get this post a lot and not respond to it.

I'm looking to purchase a steam mop. Did anyone get one from your registry? What brand or model was it and do you like it or dislike it?

Thanks!!

We have the Shark Steam Mop. I don't think it was worth the money. I still have to do just as much work with it as if we only had a mop and Bucket. It works and it's nice that the microfiber pads it comes with are washable and reuseable. It is more for light cleaning, I think. I will say also that it works better than my older model Hoover Floormate and was less pricey. I just wouldn't spend the money on it again. I saw on TV that they have a vac and steam. I am wondering how well that one works!

I am such a cleaning gadget sucker!!!

I bought this one (<- clicky) with a gift card. I do like it. I've used it on our hardwood floors and the linoleum in the bathroom. I like that it uses steam to clean, and not chemicals, but other than that, it's a pretty basic mop. The pads are washable and reusable, which is nice. It's easy to use, and I like not having to wring the mop out every few swipes.

I got the Shark Steam mop off my registry from my sister but have yet to use it. I have a friend that lives on a farm and has a dog and she absolutely love love loves it. So I am super excited to try it out, planning a cleaning day for monday, I will report back

Get a HAAN!! I love mine! We've used it on our hardwood floors and the linoleum. It's so easy - and the reusable, throw in the washing machine- pads are fantastic. I felt like I had the whole downstairs sanitized in 10 minutes flat.

We actually registered for another brand first, I don't remember which, but then I started looking at reviews online and the Haan usually won out.

I let my sister use it in her bedroom, on carpet, because she said there was a weird smell. It's obviously not made for carpet, but it must have killed what ever was causing the smell then dried quick because she said it worked like a charm.

We have the Bissell and it works well on the concrete tile. I would have preferred the Shark but my Mom had an almost-new Bissell that she gave us. I'm not sure I'd use it on the wood floors but it helps in the kitchen and bathrooms.

I bought us a bissel with a gift certificate and absolutely love it. it uses distilled water and i add a few drops of essential oil which smells really nice.

the only weird thing is that it comes with a "hanging attachment" and neither of us can figure out where it attaches on the mop.....it's the new mystery......

The one I bought (Kohls) has a special carpet pad.
