| Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. No harsh (or expensive) cleaners means no fumes or residues to irritate lungs or muddy delicate finishes, while the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water leaves floors dry in just seconds. Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there's no lag once you refill it. The Steam Mop's low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. Other thoughtful design touches include a quick-release cord wrap and easy-carry handle, as well as a built-in water filter to protect from the minerals and impurities in hard water. (An indicator lets users know when the filter need to be replaced.) Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Measuring 6 by 11 by 45-1/2 inches, the Bissell Steam Mop weighs less than 7 pounds and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.--Mary Park |

 The best solution I've tried |

| I've owned the older white model for over a year now - the old terry pads didn't bother me as far as shrinking went, but I sure wore holes in them. The new microfiber pads are a nice improvement, easier to get on and off, and appear to be more durable.
I'm a big fan of this product and was very disappointed when Bissell appeared to discontinue it - I've wanted to purchase one for my mother and mother in law. So, for the review: Nothing cleans your floor better than good old fashioned Cinderella-style scrubbing. But given that I have around 1800 square feet of hard flooring, three kids, and four dogs - my knees just can't take that kind of torture cleaning something that is just going to be spilled on, puked on, or smeared with banana in a matter of minutes. I have tried all the other leading brands of hard floor cleaners, and this one is by far the simplest to use and does a decent enough job that it's a regular in my household cleaning routine. Pros: - Uses nothing but water. No chemicals, no expensive solutions. I do purchase distilled since we have hard well water and the filter on my old model hasn't needed replacing. - Cleans my ceramic tile and bamboo floor quickly and effectively. The water dries very quickly. My tile never looks streaky, but the bamboo flooring does a bit. - Piece of cake clean up. Toss the mop head pad into the laundry, wrap the cord up and you're done. Small and compact, easy to store. - It's very quiet. I can clean after my kids are in bed and the soft steaming noise wouldn't bother even the lightest sleeper. Cons: - The cord really is too darn short, but I've remedied that with an extension cord. - It's a little short for me. This gripe isn't very fair because EVERY mop, broom, and vacuum are too short for me (except for the Dyson) - I'm tall. But I will mention here that short women aren't the only people who clean! My 5'10" self and my 6'3" husband both have to hunch over to mop the floor with this. It'd be lovely if the handle could extend. - Doesn't do a great job on grout - but nothing does. I've decided I just hate tile and grout period. - It does take some effort to push, but cleans overall more quickly than the Powered Floormate. - Like any machine it can't get right up close to the walls and though it's mophead fits under the cabinets, it simply cannot clean right in the crack where the floor meets. So every so often I have to get down and hand scrub those areas. ---- Highly, highly recommend for regular use. Does a great job at steaming the dried on grime and gunk my kids regularly paste the house with. |

| The cleaning power of this mop can't be beat. The swivel head makes it easy to get around table legs and toilets, and it gives you the peace of mind that the floor is not just clean, it's sanitized with no chemicals.
It's ready almost immediately once plugged in, and you have steam control at the touch of a finger. At first, I was surprised that there was no on/off switch, but the unit is essentially "off" until you call for steam. Pressing the steam button turns it "on." The easy to fill reservoir slides effortlessly into place, and the thick, absorbent mop heads are easy to attach. Just throw them in the wash, and they clean up like new. Also, you don't have to move in slow motion like with some steam mops, as the entire mop head stays firmly planted on the floor, even with some speed. This is the best steam mop I have found. I have had no problem with my sealed hardwood oak floors, and it did great on my tile. Highly recommended! [Update 4/20/08: The cord on this mop has turned out to be rather short. However, this is a minor annoyance as we are still more than satisfied with its cleaning power. Tip for keeping the mop heads coming out of the wash like new: order several extra mop heads, and don't let them get overly soiled before changing to a fresh one. Several would be needed to do an entire house.] |

| I purchased this item a couple months ago when I moved into a new residence. The floors throughout are Pergo wood grain. I was surprised at the dirt that came off of a floor that was supposed to have been cleaned when I moved in. I am able to get right to the base boards and the mop head rotates all the way around to get into tight spaces. I still have to wipe the corners by hand...but that's minor compared to the hands and knees scrubbing I'd be doing otherwise. I haven't had a problem with the floors getting too wet and they dry in minutes. A major plus - the steam mop uses no chemicals to clean so I don't have to worry about my pets ingesting anything harmful.
The mop came with two pads that wash up easily enough, but I would recommend getting an extra set or two. I'd like to see the pads a bit thicker as the texture of the floor has worn holes in a couple of them, but I'm guessing they will last a lot longer on a smooth surface. P.S. - I've found that adding a little vinegar to the water once in a while also freshens the air as it cleans and helps eliminate streaking. *Update: After two years of almost weekly use the mop died. It stopped emitting steam. I performed all of the trouble shooting suggestions, but nothing worked. I contacted Bissell Customer Service, which was useless as the people I spoke with didn't understand and spoke very poor English. Overall I still think this is a great product and ordered a replacement unit. I was spending as much money on cleaning products over two years as this item costs on Amazon, so it evens out. The weekend hours alone that I've saved using this product make a second purchase worth it. |

| Ok, I admit I'm a neat freak already...but honestly I was tired of spending so much money on refills dry and wet for Swiffers...and regular mops were so much work and just mopped the dirt back and forth, I couldn't win either way. Finally I tried this....no chemicals - great for you and the economy (and if you have kids!), it's done quick (after one mop thru), it drys quick (no waiting), and it's ULTRA-CLEAN afterwards! Squeaky clean. Seriously you could eat off your floor.
Keep in mind however, this will not work as good if you hardly ever clean your floor and have dust and debris sitting all over it. You have to be somewhat clean and pick up normal stuff (don't expect it to suck up anything as that's not what it's meant to do). But this works great....you try it once, it almost becomes addicting to clean your floors. I definitely recommend to everyone! |

| I have linoleum flooring that never looked really clean - even after I would get down on my hands and knees and scrub. This mop totally got rid of the residue/buildup and the flooring looks new. I highly recommend it! |
