Jiffy Steamer J-4000I-1401 Pro-Line Multi-Purpose Steamer with 5.5 foot hose Review

Heavy duty, solid unit. I have both this and the Rowenta Steam Generator. It takes a little longer to heat up than the Rowenta, but once it gets going, lots of steam and power. I use it when not in a hurry and doing a lot of items at once. You have to get the hang of steaming; there is a trick to the technique of holding the item tight while applying the steam; it would be great to have three hands. There might be a hanger accessory out there to use in conjunction with steaming units, but rather than purchase another gadget to clutter up the house, improvisation, dexterity and patience gets the job done. Read the directions and warnings; the head of the steam unit gets HOT and there is a tendency to forget that it is as hot or hotter than a super-heated iron. Don't set it down on a laminated surface, tile, wood, etc. Always hang it on the hanger where it won't damage any surfaces or burn you.

Eureka 350A Enviro-Steamer Hotshot Hand-held Steamer Review

Eureka 350A Enviro-Steamer Hotshot Hand-held Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let's face facts, folks. I'm a 29 year old bachelor. I hate cleaning. I do it only when it becomes absolutely necessary, which usually happens when I'm waist deep in clutter and mess. Wherever the cleaning bug gene is that runs in most families, it made absolutely certain to skip me.
I had to clean my house before selling it recently, and I had to do the unthinkable. Yup, I had to actually exert myself in that one activity I hate more than anything else. And that'd be cleaning. Downcast and sullen, I labored through the task at hand with as much gusto as I could gather, but it wasn't until my folks, who were helping me in my endeavours, pulled out this wondrous device that the experience actually became good.
Pour water in it, plug it in and let it heat up. After some minutes pass, press the trigger and the hand steamer exerts a jet of high-powered steam that will remove any stain. Yes, any stain. I was so impressed with the demos my Mom was showing me that I had to try myself on the grunge on the kitchen floor. After a few sweeps I had to try on something else. So the front of my refrigerator became my next victim. After that I was looking around for something else...anything else. And as I began this on the dryer in the laundry room I realized that I was actually *enjoying* the experience.
This thing gets into cracks and crevices that noone could ever dream of getting to before, cleans them, and as a bonus sterilizes them completely. My bathroom is in cleaner, better shape now then it was when I first got the house!
There's several different attachments that you can put on the nozzle to make the steam come out at different angles, and others that can allow you to steam clean mirrors or flat surfaces. It is beyond easy to operate and is perversely enjoyable, even for a self proclaimed couch-potato such as myself. I recommend this for anyone wanting to get stains or dirt off of surfaces that nothing short of molecular acid and a brillo pad will remove. But don't be surprised if your husband/fiance'/boyfriend eventually steals it from you to do the task themselves. You might even see them smile as they work!

This is my 3rd steam cleaner and by far this is the best. The Steamboy is the easiest to use. Just fill up the removable container with water and go, no waiting as the last 2 mops did. The point on the mop helps it get into the corners. I use the steam because I have 4 animals and the steamboy cleaner leaves my floor sanitized without using chemicals.

This product only does a fair job of cleaning. I have tile that is less than one year old and the grout only looked a little cleaner after 3 uses.
It leaves a film of water on the surface that takes at least 15 minutes to dry and some spots have to be wiped up by hand.
Would I buy this again, no. Jean

SF-290 Floor Steam Mop and Multi-Purpose Steamer Review

SF-290 Floor Steam Mop and Multi-Purpose Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I stumbled upon this item, when searching to get the new Shark steam floor mop, which is being advertised on TV. Unable to find a way to get the "free" mop covers for the unit online, I bumped into this item and found that it seemed much more versatile, for less than what the Shark is selling for. The unit can be used to clean just about anything, while the Shark mop is strictly a floor mop. I had missed the Scunci Steamer I had, which conked out after just about a year of very light use. Very dissappointing. When it worked, it did a great job, but it was not a floor cleaner. This SF-290 is better than both the Shark and the Scunci, for my purposes, because it does everything. I have a one bedroom apartment, and it cleans everything in it just fine. My kitchen floor has never been cleaner, and there is no sticky residue or chemical smell; just clean and fresh. I can freshen the carpeting, and it even removed some stubborn stains that I could not get out, no matter how much scrubbing I'd done. I freshen the furniture as well, which is great to combat my allergies. I don't know if a unit this small would work in a large house, but for a smaller area, it works great! A tip is to turn the mop cover inside out and use it on the other side before washing it. You can also remove it, rinse it out and continue using it for a time. I ordered additional Bissell mop covers, since I figured one would not be enough.

Thane USA H20 Steam-Cleaning Mop Review

Thane USA H20 Steam-Cleaning Mop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have done a lot of research on different steam mops. I looked at prices and read hundreds of reviews and finally settled on the H2O Steam Mop.
When it came I tested it on every floor surface in my home including ceramic tile, wood floors, and vinyl flooring. What I found was that it works very well on most floors. Wood...eh...it was okay, but on my old-fashioned, textured vinyl it was AMAZING! I live in an old home and I haven't replaced the hallway vinyl flooring yet, which I hate because I have to get down on my hands and knees to scrub in the nooks and crannies (which really collect grime). This mop, when used properly and slowly, cleaned the floor so well it looks almost new! Ceramic tile, also great. It even cleaned the grout. My floors look better than they have in a looong time.
I have 2 big dogs, a daughter with lots of friends, and a small pool in the backyard. I own one of those "spray-and-mop" products and it is fine for quick cleaning (several times a day!) but it leaves a film on the vinyl floor, especially used over and over. This steam cleaner uses only water so there are no chemicals, no bucket to fill, and it thoroughly cleans without leaving any residue. With a busy life and no great love for constant cleaning, this steam cleaner makes my life soooo much easier.
I have read reviews that say this type of mop is junk and it doesn't work well, but as far as ease of use and level of cleaning ability I think it is well worth the money. It does leave some water on the floor, but no more than a regular mop. I would highly recommend this steam mop for anyone with kids, pets, and/or high traffic areas. I don't know how I survived this long without it!

It can kill dust mites and some bacteria in the bathroom, kitchen, and near your pet's sleeping area. Very lightweight and easily maneuverable. Wash the microfiber pads in hot water and reuse them. Includes measuring cup, 2 microfiber cloth pads, carpet glider, 17-foot power cord, manual, and 1-year limited warranty.

These disposable pads are wonderful. The H2O Steam Mop comes with 2 reuseable pads, but once used they have to be washed and it does not take to long for them to become worn and somewhat ragged. It is nice to have an alternative and also to be able to dispose of the pad after use especially when used on a very soiled area. I recommend these.

Shark S3250 Quick and Easy Steam Mop Review

Shark S3250 Quick and Easy Steam Mop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After reading the two negative reviews, I almost returned this mop unopened. But then I figured I'd at least try it first. I really can't figure out if the two negative reviews had bad mops or just completely unrealistic expectations. When I mop using a traditional mop, it's a hard & dirty job. I end up chipping at caked-on things with my finger nail. I get sweaty. My arms get a great work-out. It takes forever for my floors to clean & I have to keep the kids & pets away for an hour. That is hard cleaning.
This mop does not require any of the above. It is super easy and super light. It is so light-weight that it does not require any real arm pumping. I can't get over the person complaining about moving it seven times. I wonder if she was activating the steam mechanism? You could move this thing 20 times over the same spot and your arm still wouldn't be tired. No matter what type of cleaning you are doing, you go over the same strip more than once: vacuuming, cleaning toilets, counters, mopping, even something cosmetic like removing nail polish from your nails... The first swipe loosens the dirt and the second cleans it up. This is the same. It takes less than 10 seconds to go over a section twice.
I have two kids, a dog, and three cats. We track a lot of dirt into the house and have frequent spills. My floors feel like a full-time job some days. I have 1000 sq. ft of laminate and porcelain tile on my first floor. I did my entire downstairs in less time than it takes me to traditionally mop the kitchen alone. My floors are VERY clean & they dried almost instantly. All sticky stuff was loosened and lifted. I was surprised that ground-in dirt in the textured spots in my tile noticeably cleaned-up. I have been on my hands & knees with a toothbrush and abrasive cleaners trying to loosen that stuff up. I won't say it came up 100%, but it is noticeably lighter. And this is 10 years worth of life being ground into the textured tile.
My floors look and are clean. I am neither sweaty nor tired. My only complaints are: 1) the water reservoir could be larger. I had to refill a few times, which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 stars. 2) my floors had more of a dull finish rather than shiny. I added a couple tablespoons of white vinegar to the water reservoir and this seemed to combat the dullness. I would imagine if you had a squirt-on cleanser (like Pledge Floors or Murphy's Oil soap), you could use that in addition to the plain water. I know part of the hype is "no cleaners needed," and while this is true, you might want to try something in addition if you like a shiny finish. Even squirting on a cleanser this is still much easier than traditional mopping. It also navigated corners and baseboards extremely well with the swivel-head.
I will never traditional-mop again. This is beyond easy, faster, and so much less labor-intensive. Not to mention easier than dragging buckets, cleaner, and a mop up and down the stairs to do multiple spots.

I wish i could tell you whether this works or not, but unfortunately the item description and scunci.com neglect to tell you you can only use it with scunci 1000 or 25000. I have a scunci 900. you can't put it together, the carry strap doesn't even fit. and the wonderful ASSEENONTV guys DO NOT TAKE RETURNS. I repeat they DO NOT TAKE RETURNS. so, don't bother with this if you have a scunci900 (the one that walmart sells).

Bissell 203-2158 Microfiber Steam Mop Pads Review

Bissell 203-2158 Microfiber Steam Mop Pads
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a Bissell steam mop, which I like very much, and these are extra pads for it. The mop comes with 2 mop pads, but to get the most of the convenience of a steam mop, you need more pads. Depending upon the size of your home and the amount of traffic it gets - 6-8 pads is a good idea. Then, when the pad gets dirty, you just swap them out and keep mopping. When you're all done, throw all the pads in the wash and you're ready for next time.
These are nice in that they have an elastic drawstring-type fitting, instead of the velcro type on other steam mop pads. They are well made and of high-quality microfiber. The fabric has ridges that helps scrub the floor and also catches pet hair, a very nice feature in my opinion.

SharperTek Steam Cleaning Floor Mop w/ Pads Review

SharperTek Steam Cleaning Floor Mop w/ Pads
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had researched several different steam mops and maybe they are all like this one and I am just thinking they would do something different than what they do.
But, I personally am disappointed with the idea of a 'steam mop'.
The steam mop left the floors VERY wet. I had thought that it would produce very hot steam that would almost be dry when mopping. This would then allow for the sanitizing and sparkling clean that I thought I would have.
Instead, the mop left the floors SO wet my feet were wet walking on it. It took a long time to dry and I didn't feel the floors were any cleaner. I used it on my sealed wood floor and it was soaking wet and left streaks.
I guess if you are mopping with a regular mop already and having to squeeze it out and use a bucket, this would be great. But if you are wanting something that won't leave your floors as wet as a regular mop, then this is not it.
The cord is short so plan to unplug and move to another outlet. Also, you have to REALLY pay attention as you are mopping and not leave it on and keep it in one spot for even 15 seconds. If the phone rings or a child needs you, turn it off as otherwise it will leave a stain on your floor.
The water does get really hot and it is nice to have the cloths that are washable although the little cord that tightens the cloth kept falling below the mop.
I did like that it is distributed in the US by a local company. When it arrives, you do need to screw in the handle as well as the bottom part but it comes with clear directions and the screws.
I am going back to my dry mop with washable cloth pads and a spray I use on the floor.

Haan FS-20+ Plus Cloths Review

Haan FS-20+ Plus Cloths
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Haan 20 Steam Mop about two weeks ago. I have used it countless times already!! The first time I used it I thought it wasn't doing anything...until I did the paper towel test. I scrubbed the area I just went over with the steam mop and the paper towel was WHITE!! I then scrubbed an adjacent area that I did not steam and the paper towel turned gray. We have a very busy household with a dog and a two year old. I cleaned all of our sealed hardwood floors and ceramic tile and now when my 2 year old runs around in her white socks they STAY WHITE!! It is truly amazing. I feel like an infomercial but I really could not be happier with this purchase. My husband got black shoe polish all over our light hardwood floors. Soap and water would not budge it. I pulled out the steam mop just to try it out...shoe polish came right up with one run over it with the steam mop. WOW!! Another plus is that as long as you change the pads regularly the floors are completely dry once you pass over an area. So you don't have to worry about family and pets tracking their dirty shoes and paws through your freshly mopped floors.
Now the cons (though not that bad to me):
1. You are tethered to an outlet. Not too much a problem as we have many outlets all over the house. If you are like me you were changing the water in the mop bucket frequently when using a regular mop...so moving a cord around is much preferred in my book.
2. You have to fill the mop with 8oz of water every 20 minutes or so. A little red light comes on to tell you to fill it up. I have to add water about 4 times to do all the high traffic areas in my home.
3. The microfiber pads need to be changed regularly. Once the pad is saturated it starts to leave wetness that lingers on the floor. If I use two microfibers pads per 8oz. fill-up it seems to be the perfect balance. I have 6 microfiber pads and that is perfect for my 1800 sq ft house.
4. Using the steam mop is a little slower than regular mopping. You don't just rush the mop over the floor. You have to move a little slower so that it has time to steam up the mess and then grab it in the microfiber pad. This adds a little extra time but totally worth it since there are no chemicals and the floor is completely sanitized. I sure wish I had this product when my daughter was crawling. It would have saved time and my back from scrubbing the floors by hand.
Oh, I have the carpet attachment. This is great for sanitizing the carpet, bedding and upholstery. We are an allergic household so it seems to work well for this. You do not use the microfiber pads when using this attachment so I am not sure that it would remove stains. I have not tried it for that yet...but I will when I have the chance.

Haan HD-50 Duo Steam Sweeper & Floor Sanitizer Review

Haan HD-50 Duo Steam Sweeper and Floor Sanitizer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'll admit I'm a person who dislikes housework with a passion--but I'm a stickler for a clean and sanitary environment. Since the kitchen and the bathrooms are the most heavily traveled and visited, I was especially drawn to the Haan Duo Steam Sweeper and Sanitizer, beacause it was able to tackle a few tasks at the same time. Originally when I had to mop the floor, I'd sweep the area, fill two buckets: one with hot water and Mr. Clean--and the other bucket with clear, cold rinse water. And then the process of trying to clean the floor would begin...
After the floor finally dried, there was always a slight disinfectant residue that felt tacky whenever I'd walk across what I thought was a clean floor.
When I opened my Haan-Duo, the first place I thought I'd try the machine was the prep area in my kitchen. Between the grease and food stains, footprints, scuff marks, and crumbs, I thought if something as simple as water/steam could clean and sanitize that
mess--then it was worth every penny.
The first pass in the prep area was absolutely amazing! Not only did the Haan-Duo pick up the things I had been able to see, but it went deeper into the floor to clean things I couldn't see. My flooring is rather old, but after one cleaning, the luster I thought was gone came right back to life. Grey tiles I thought were part of the color pattern on the floor were dazzlingly white. For the first time, in a long time, the floor looked fantastic!
I then completed the bathrooms. The grout in between the tiles was perfectly clean. I tried it on my hard wood floors--and the same consistent results made the floor look like new in minutes!
The Haan-Duo is light, compact, and it delivers every time I've used the product. My only critique of the system is that it is difficult to really get in and around the back end of the toilet area because of its width. If there were an attachment, perhaps shaped like a triangle, it would get to the hard to reach spaces without any trouble. If indeed, Haan makes a hand-held model with the varying heads, I'd purchase it in a heartbeat.
The velcro pads pick up every bit of floor residue, and then when I'm finished cleaning, I wash the pads out with gentle soap, and put them in the sun to dry.
The Haan-Duo us very eco-friendly. No more do I have to worry about allergic reactions from cleaning products. The surfaces are sanitized in a natural way--without chemicals.
It's really made my workload so much easier!

I bought the product knowing little about steamers. What a pleasant introduction! I'm using it to cut through years of accumulated dirt and mold in my apartment. I can get into those places one forgets about, with great results. With its size and ease of use--the manual explains the parts and the process clearly--the McCulloch steamer is ideal for the urban apartment, and very easy to store. The most priceless thing about it is its non-toxicity. Good-bye to harmful cleaners. Hello to a green machine.

Shark Deluxe Steam Mop, S3202 Review

Shark Deluxe Steam Mop, S3202
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have allergies, so most of our floors are hard covered. I have tried the scooba, which works well but only does one room at a time, and requires a bit of set up. This product is a third of the price of scooba, and works amazingly well. I suggest vacuuming first, since you do not rinse the mop head and dont want to risk scratching your floor with sandy residue. Then simply fill the mop with water, wait 30 seconds and you're ready to go. I was impressed by the way the mop cleaned, evident by the dirt on the pad! We have one old original wood floor in our bedroom and was a bit leery of trying it on the wood, but seriously, when my husband got home, he asked me what I did to make the floor look so nice! It steamed away stains we were not able to get out with any other method. I love not having to use chemicals on the floors in order to clean them. This mop comes with 5 machine washable pads, so you will not need to buy replacements for a long time, although when you do, you will note that they are expensive! It also comes with a glider for carpets, so you can steam and refresh them. It is a bit awkward to use it, but does the job.

Equipped with a powerful 1550-watt heating system, this environmentally friendly upright steam cleaner heats up in about 30 seconds and offers a chemical-free way to clean and sanitize carpets and sealed hard-floor surfaces throughout the home. The unit works with regular tap water, and its 8-ounce water tank can be refilled at any time for nonstop cleaning--no need for sloshing buckets of water or effortful rinsing and wringing like with conventional mops. The forward pushing motion of the mop releases steam automatically, leaving floors clean and virtually dry with no chemical residues. Even more, it comes with an absorbent triple-action microfiber pad that not only removes tough dirt and grime, scuff marks, sticky messes, muddy footprints, and more from tile, linoleum, vinyl, and other floor surfaces, but it also can be machine-washed as needed for repeated use. Other highlights include a 12-inch cleaning path, a nonslip ergonomic grip to reduce hand and wrist stress, a long 25-foot power cord, and a lightweight design at just 3 pounds. Five microfiber cleaning pads come included, as well as a carpet glider for freshening up rugs and carpets. The steam mop measures 5-1/2 by 10 by 49 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
