Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just purchased this steam mop this morning from a local store. I went to buy a Eureka Enviro-steam, but there was only this model and a Shark. After reading reviews on Shark, I went with the B&D since I have other products and tools of theirs.
Since it was my first time using it, I thought that I would give my first impression of it. Out of the box, very easy assembly, and clear precise instructions. This mop happens to come with 2 microfiber floor cloths, a water cup (which can attach to the handle of the unit so it doesn' get lost), and a pad for the unit to stand on while moving furniture or other items around. When the unit is stood upright the steam stops flowing and the pad is to protect your surface from the wet microfiber pad. As soon as you tilt the handle again, the steam resumes and you go back to where you left off. There is a dial on the front of the unit where you dial in the type of floor that you are cleaning: stone/tile/wood. This allows the approprite amount of steam for each type of floor.
I steam mopped 2 tile bathrooms, a laminate wood living room/dining room combo, a laminate wood kitchen, a tile foyer, and an epoxy painted cement floor....all on one tank, with water left over. I steam mopped by going with the grain on the laminate, so I did not experience any streaking. The tile floors came up shining, as did the epoxy painted cement, also without streaks. The cord is quite long, so I didn't have to keep moving the plug every 5 minutes. I used both pads since this was the first steaming and a lot of dirt came off of the "clean" floors that were just cleaned yesterday with a vinegar/water solution. I machine washed them in hot (warm water is recommended by B&D) water without fabric softener and they came out looking like new; no noticeable shrinkage in the dryer.
The minor annoyances that I found were: the handle was a little short (I am 5'10"), the handle tube is narrow (not flimsy, but I would like it to have a bit more bulk); but these are definitely easy to live with.
Overall, I am quite happy with this steam mop. And, yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
