Kalorik SFC 24713 Steam Mop with Removable Water Tank Review

Kalorik SFC 24713 Steam Mop with Removable Water Tank
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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

Oreck Steam-It Steam Mop Review

Oreck Steam-It Steam Mop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start by saying that I am a huge Oreck fan. I think that they make quality products that do what they say they do. However, I can't say that this product measures up. They are on the right track but have several details to work out yet. I already own a Shark steam mop but find the handle to be a little short (I am tall) and it doesn't hold enough water to do my whole kitchen area with one fill. I was quite excited to hear that Oreck had a steam mop. I went to the Oreck store and got a demo. I commented then that the 'pad' was loose and coming off while he mopped, and that the head of the mop was being uncooperative during the carpet refresh demo. He made excuses for all so I bought the steam mop. The mop holds about a gallon of water, and has a very tall handle and a long cord. All good things. The quality and construction are excellent. However, the first thing you notice is that it weighs more than your vaccuum. The pad is actually a piece of cotton duck fabric about a foot square with a strip of terry cloth like fabric down the center. Picture a baby diaper from 20 years ago. You lay that on the floor and use those yellow tabs in the picture to pinch the loose ends of the cloth under the yellow tab. I began to mop and noticed right away that the steam production is fast and strong, good, but the mop is very very hard to push. It is heavy and awkward to move and now I know why the salesman spent so much time showing me the shoulder movement I should use to push the mop back and fowards. The forward motion caused everything I picked up with the mop to be pushed into a line of bits and fuzz on the floor so I tried to turn the mop and capture the fuzzy stuff. Immediately the pad came unclipped. I repositioned the pad and tried again. Again the pad came off. I tried to mop around the bathroom toilet, pulling it longways along the side of the toilet, the pad came off. Each time I pulled the mop towards myself, the head of the mop leaves the floor, tilting on its back edge and drags back to me. When I push forward, it flattens out again. The mop handle stores all the water and electronics and weighs close to 10 lbs, the mop head on the other hand is a lightweight hollow piece of plastic. The design of the head is bad because it can't compete with the weight of that handle and because it is like a box, not a flat pad holder. I could not mop under the water shut off valves behind the toilet because the head is too tall and boxxy, nor under the kitchen cupboard kickspace nor under the door backstops along the molding, all because of the height of the head. Each of these places had to be done separately without the steam mop. Lots of rework that day and lots of frustration. It has a snap on piece for the head that lets it glide on carpet so I tried that as well. Like what I saw in the store demo, each stroke out was great, each stroke back found the head flipping up on its back and bouncing back or dragging back towards me. I really can't imagine that the tester of this product actually tried mopping or steaming with it before it was release to market. And yes, I tried bending down lower, changing my angle, going faster, slower, none of it helped. It has 2 rocker switches on the handle covered by a rubbery plastic box. One controls power, the other steam. After leaving the mop for several hours, I came back to find that the power\preheat switch light was out, but that the mop was hot. The switch wasnt fully off, just looked like it. Because of the rubbery box around the switches, it is hard to tell if a switch is completely clicked in one direction or the other and obviously the led on the switch isn't so sure either. Thats a fire hazard in my book. I have boxed this Oreck back up, first thing I have ever returned to Oreck, but it is going back and when they come out with a new improved model, I will give that a try. For now, I really don't think this design is ready for public consumption, too many engineering issues to work out.
The good:
Great construction, holds nearly a gallon of water, produces really good steam really fast, long cord.
The bad:
The water weighs far to much, handle pushes down so hard it makes the head flip up on every backstroke
The power switches are difficult
It is too heavy and awkward to be used as a window washer or steam cleaner as shown in the commercials. Imagine hoisting your heavy full size vacuum up to your windows or stove to clean with it.
The pad is useless because nothing sticks to it, it just collects anything it finds and leaves it at the end of your stroke, it needs to be more like the shark pad, thick, soft and absorbant.
The design of the yellow pad pinchers is rediculous, they don't keep the pad in place if you turn the mop head even a little - the pad comes off immediately. They are similar to a chip clip and are trying to hold a wet cotton cloth under pressure while moving. Not happening.
The head to too tall, can't mop under anything normal, and it is too light to stay positioned on the floor when fighting with the weight of the handle.

My entire house is hardwood floors so I was looking for something good to keep them all clean. The biggest problem I have with this product is there was no information on the outside of the box. Not until you buy it and open the box does it tell you for the polish, "keep off floors for miminum of 2 hours, best left overnight." What?! I LIVE here! I'm supposed to move out for the night to get "gleaming" floors!? No thank you. I at least tried the cleaner, that one dries quickly and does clean, but only after you srub the floors with it. After using this I was able to skip my arm work out at the gym. Back in the box and back to the store it went! I recommened spending the extra few dollars for the Floor Mate, or stick with the Swiffer! Cheaper and easier!

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!

Lindhaus Activa 30 Domestic 12" Red Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Lindhaus Activa 30 Domestic 12 Red Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this vacuum for a couple of years now. Although it's expensive and not "fancy", we purchased it because our previous machines were never satisfactory. They either blew dirt back out the exhaust, were super noisy and/or heavy, and the cake was taken when a relatively new but just-out-of warranty machine needed repair and could not be fixed. The Lindhaus is very lightweight and easy to manuver, very quiet so others are not disturbed and children and pets are not afraid of the noise. It does not have a "headlight", but does have an indicator light that goes on when the bag is full and needs to be changed. It's easy to change the bag. The machine is repairable and though I have never needed this service, there are several vacuum stores in my area that can handle this brand. The only downside, I would say, is the bags seem a little more expensive, but I should add that I have not priced the bags of other brands lately. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a reliable machine and isn't overly impressed with bells, whistles and doo-dads.

Works well on tile floors, but forget cleaning on wood. I used distilled water but steam left white marks all over the floor. I had to re clean my wood floors to get the water marks out. Have not had any problems as far as it not working like many other people have, but was not impressed with the cleaning on my wood floors. If you have tile floors it works well.

THANE H20 MOP STEAM CLEANER Review

THANE H20 MOP STEAM CLEANER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While nothing will ever really replace the Cinderella-style of hands and knees scrubbing, this mop certainly is better than pulling out the regular mop and bucket of luke warm brown water.
It is sturdy enough and easy to assemble. its easy to use and does a great job of cleaning without chemicals. Sticky juice spills in the kitchen come up quickly and easily and the sanitizing feature is great for the area just in front of the bathroom toilet where men can never seem to avoid. lol.
The cord was plenty long enough for the rooms in my house, since I dont live in a mansion with huge rooms. And I was able to clean my kithen ceramic tile in less time than it took my husband to go outside and smoke a leisurly cigarette. The floor dried much faster than with regular mopping but I could see spots of dampness here and there when I was done so I am not sure how safe i would feel using it on hardwood floors.
The cons: it only comes with 2 reusable pads. So after the kitchen and bathroom I had to stop and wait for the wash before I could do the hall bath and the downstairs bath. Plus I felt I could redo the kitchen a 2nd time since the pad was so filthy the first time around. So you really do need to buy more pads.
Also, it does NOT do grout. If you have a spill in the grout lines the best you can do is 'sanitize' the spot (holding the mop there for 8 seconds) to loosen the dirt and then manually wiping clean with a rag or paper towel.
Finally, while the swivel head is easy to manever, it really does not get into corners all that well. And much like regular mopping, you have to sweep well or vacuum first or else you will just be pushing around crumbs or hair which will collect along baseboards and corners.
Since this is a great novelty mop, and since I love that I dont have to buy cleaners, I would definetely recommend this mop for people who like to keep their floors clean, and are sick of the mop and bucket style of cleaning. My floors are cleaner and I look forward to using it again when those stupid pads go through the wash again. lol.

Euro-Pro Shark Professional Electronic Hard Surface Steam Cleaner with Soap Injector Review

Euro-Pro Shark Professional Electronic Hard Surface Steam Cleaner with Soap Injector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thing was the biggest waste of $200+ that I have ever spent. First off, I bought it to mainly clean hard floors (vinyl flooring mostly) but the steam sprays forward from one nozzel as opposed to down onto the floor. It sprays forward into a terry pocket that fits on the end of a wand, so the terry gets soaking wet and the floor gets the same cleaning as if you mopped with hot water! I used to own a Eureka Enviro-steamer that sprayed the steam down through several vents directly thru a terry bonnet onto the floor... straight down!! The Eureka worked fabulously except that I had to refill it 3 or 4 times to do all my floors so I gave it away and wasted my hard earned $$$ on this piece of garbage. Now, fast forward to 8 months after I buy it and the on/off switch that controls the steam flow is broken and I cannot turn it OFF!! So I can't use this thing at all because it doesn't build up pressure because the water is spraying out of the tip before it can generate any steam because it won't shut off!! I called the company after an hour of searching the web to find out who to call and guess what????? I have to pay to ship this thing to them with ALL the attachments and then pay to have it shipped back to me!!! DO I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER 40 OR 50 DOLLARS ON SHIPPING????????? Needless to say, I'm aggravated as all get-out over this thing and my husband is mad that I gave away the Eureka on top of it all!!
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! BETTER YET, EVEN IF YOU ARE OFFERED IT FOR FREE DON'T BOTHER!!!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I thought I would try this to save some money and to see if this line of household cleaning appliances would work for me. I was ready for cosmetic flaws...I mean who really cares if there is a scrape on their floor cleaner? What I was not ready for, was a unit that just looked like it was thrown in the box and had not been refurbished AT ALL. My main complaint is that the brush heads that were supplied looked like they had been cleaning someones driveway. I've used better looking brush heads on my car wheels. The bottom retension bracket for the power cord was also broken off and was loose in the box...nice work Hoover.
"Remanufactered: to refurbish (a used product) by renovating and reassembling its components", that is the definition and I feel that Hoover should have never let one of their reman products ship out without NEW brush heads. The brush head is a critical wear item it and it is ludicrous to sell this floor cleaner with the same brush it was returned with.
All that said, I give it two stars because it does work and I would buy one again...BUT ONLY NEW. Now I have to waste time trying to glue broken pieces and find a replacement brush head.

With its 15-inch-wide cleaning path, this revolutionary all-in-one cleaner can be used to not only vacuum dry debris, but also to wet-clean and squeegee-dry most hard-floor surfaces including ceramic tile, sealed hardwood, marble, vinyl, and laminate. Quickly switch between cleaning options--vacuum, wash, or dry--with a simple turn of the dial. Exclusive SpinScrub brushes gently and safely wet-scrub and buff hard floors, plus they pop out for rinsing clean.In addition, the cleaner's fingertip trigger control allows for choosing where, when, and how much cleaning solution to apply. Separate solution and recovery tanks ensure dirty water never gets put back onto the floor, and both 1/4-gallon-capacity tanks remove for convenient filling or emptying. Other highlights include a powerful 6 amp motor, a 27-foot power cord, and a fold-down handle for storing. The hard-floor cleaner measures approximately 20 by 15-1/2 by 45 inches and carries a six-month limited warranty.
Editor's note: This is a remanufactured appliance. Remanufactured generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

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!

H20flo Steam Mop Floor Cleaner( 3 High End Pads Included) - Environment Friendly Review

H20flo Steam Mop Floor Cleaner( 3 High End Pads Included) - Environment Friendly
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I LOVE clean floors. It is my biggest pet peeve to have dirty floors since we don't wear shoes in the house. When the floor gets dirty or sticky you can feel it on your bare feet! With two small children, even without shoes, my floors get plenty dirty! The H20 mop is amazing! I love that it heats up HOT making me feel like it is really disinfecting. The water resevoir is large and doesn't need to be refilled very often. The triangle shaped mop that gets into corners wonderfully! I love that you don't have to pump it, and the steam is continuous.
I've had 3 steam mops. The first was the Original Thane H20 mop, but after 2 years and 2 houses and many many uses, it finally died on me. So I went to Costco and the Shark Steam Mop was there with an instant $10 rebate. I ended up getting it because it had decent reviews and I was in need of something right away. I was so disappointed with the Shark! I had to go over my floor TWICE with 2 pads and SEVERAL refills of water to get it clean. And I still didn't feel like it was as clean as when I used the H20 mop, which in the past, I only had to go over the floor once, using 1 pad without having to refill. I hated that you had to pump the Shark mop to get steam out of it, and that the floor didn't feel hot to the touch after going over it. Most of the steam seemed to be just going into the air. Also, the pad only seemed to get dirty in the middle, the sides where still clean, and the pad kept falling off the velcro attachment. The next day the Shark Steam Mop went back to Costco and I went on [...] purchase another H20 mop. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is now a new version of the H20 mop called the H20 mop ULTRA.
It arrived today and I am in steam clean heaven! I am posting a review of the Ultra here, since the product is not on amazon yet. The Ultra has the same functions as the original H20 mop PLUS it detaches and acts as a household steam cleaner for grout, sinks, toilets, etc. Although it is twice the price as the original it is absolutely worth the money if you can afford it, and you also want a steam cleaner to clean not just the floor, but the whole house! I ended up buying the 3 year extended warranty for an additional $20. A major improvement to the Original, the Ultra has a longer cord and an even larger reservoir for water. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed in it's capabilities to clean the floor since I've owned the original. Even though I had steam cleaned the floor only 3 days ago with the inferior Shark, the h20 mop picked up a lot of dirt that the Shark left behind! After cleaning the floors, I was eager to detach the mop head and test the steamer out on my bathroom grout! The house we live in now is an older home, built in the 50's. The bathrooms are tiled with wide grout lines at the sinks. I put the steamer to work on our most used bathroom (the kids bathroom as well as the main bathroom in the house) and I am so amazed. The grout in the kids bathroom (sink) was practically brown from years of use and now it is white again. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures because I'm so amazed! SO AMAZED. I had tried in the past to clean the grout with bleach, soft scrub, just about EVERYTHING. I thought it was just stained from years of use from previous owners of the home. Just a few minutes using the Ultra and it looks brand new again and I used only PURE WATER! I can't wait to tackle the rest of the house! I LOVE LOVE this product.

The As seen on TV H2Oflo Steam Mop is designed for use on wood, granite, laminate, marble, tile and other hard sealed surfaces. Our acclaimed steamer quickly and effectively sanitizes floors to gleaming perfection. Since the H20flo uses no chemicals just the power of water and steam, parents with small children, dog owners and the environment friendly consumer have no harsh (or expensive) cleaners giving off fumes and residues that can irritate lungs, skin and eyes. With the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water, floors dry in just seconds allowing that old dreaded task of mopping your floor now becomes enjoyable. Our H20Flo is extremely quiet ,working something like an iron except it is on your floor Our product has been a huge success with seniors, housekeepers, housewifes, and yes even husbands and bachelors as the chore of bending down or using force is now just a simple push of ones arm. Our mops hot steam can easily remove hardened and sticky gunk, build up dirt in just a for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine has the largest tank in its class thus no lag time once you refill it. No more lugging cumbersome wet/dry vacs or mops and buckets around to get the job done The H2Oflo comes with a 3 high-grade chenille pads to wipe away dirt and grime.

Used these for bottom of wood folding chairs so they wouldn't scratch hard wood floor.... not meant for commercial use because while they are really sticky eventually they slide off the surface.

Bissell 1867 Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner Review

Bissell 1867 Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner

(More customer reviews)
I admit it I finally bought something because I saw it on an infomercial and all I can say is that I am very impressed!! I have 2 dogs, a husband that works in the oilfield, me the messy cook, and I live in sandy red dirt west Texas. This thing can really handle it all. I also like how the mop pad also goes over my 1/4 round on the baseboards and gets them too.In addition I love that I don't have to immediatly leave the area after I have mopped because the fumes from the chemicals are so strong... as my experience was when I tried the swiffer wetjet. I had debated as to whether to get this with the Bissell CatchAll or to get the Hoover Floormate and so far I am very happy with th choice I have made.
One hint I found out when using this product that is not mentioned in the instructions is that it works best when you pull it backwards instead of forwards.( like I do when using my hoover steamvac widepath) I noticed when I was pushing forwards all the steam seamed to be coming out the back of the mop head and when I pulled it backwards all the steam went apparantly on the floor because I barely saw it coming out but I could certainly see the difference. After using this product I really can say that my floor is clean. not only does it look clean , but I know that the steam is killing bacteria and I can believe it or not , breathe better. I dont know if this is because it is like being around a vaporizer or because it is killing bacteria and dustmites but it does.
WHen all of these new and improved moppping gadgets hit the market I had been hopfull because hey, I admit I hate mopping. After mopping while the floor was still wet it never failed that either my dogs or my husband when just walk on it and get it dirty again.So I tried the swiffer wetjet and was not impressed because of the strong smell of the cleaner, having to buy cleaner and pads all the time, did not get ground in stuff very well, and Knowing that I was only degreasing and not disinfecting the floor. This steam mop is cost effeciant because I don't have to keep buying cleaner or pads. It is reccomened to use distilled water to maximize the use of the water filter but 1$ /gallon compared to $3/liter isn't bad and I may end up getting one of those pur things to not have to do even that. I honestly recommend this product and hope that this may help someone considering buying it!

They work well, but some don't stay on for very long. The instructions say to wash the surface that you stick these to, but it still didn't stay on very long. The ones that do stick work really well, everything slides along the floor with no damage. Great idea, but it didn't work extremely well for me the first time. Good thing it came with so many.

H20 3-in-1 Ultra Steam Mop Review

H20 3-in-1 Ultra Steam Mop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had the Thane H20 Mop Ultra for several months and have used it at least once a week, sometimes more, since we purchased it. I have not had the problems that some of the other reviewers have had. It did puddle a little the first time I used it, but the instructions say to expect that. It has not done that again. It cleans the floor very well and if there is something really stuck on, I go over it a few times and it comes up. Here are the pros, cons, and suggestions for use:
Pros:
No chemicals
With comfort taken into consideration, better than hands and knees cleaning (which was previously my preferred method because it cleans better than any mop)
Doesn't take very long to clean my kitchen floor
Cons:
The microfiber cloths come off if they get too wet
You have to move rather quickly to prevent the heads from getting too wet
You have to have the mop head at an angle or else it comes off the floor when you're pulling it back toward yourself
Suggestions to make it work well:
Wash your mop heads in free and clear detergent (no color, perfume, etc.), no fabric softener, and line dry.
DON'T ADD ANYTHING TO THE WATER TANK BUT WATER (like the instructions say!).
If possible, wash the heads in a hot wash as soon as you're done so the dirt doesn't dry on there.
Wash your floors rather frequently--if the floors get really dirty, it's harder on the mop (though it will still do a great job, in my opinion).
If you treat your mop well and follow the directions, it should work fine. It's not fair to treat it however you want and then write a bad review when it doesn't perform perfectly! :)

Hoover FH40030 FloorMate with SpinScrub and Tools Review

I purchased my first FloorMate when it first came out, from the Hoover web site. It lasted me 10 years and then the hose that sucks up the water cracked. I was going to order the part and fix it, but when I saw this model I just had to have it.
Like my first one it works great and is easier to clean then the first model. The idea of washing the floor with clean water and not having to keep passing a dirty mop over my floors is a wonderful concept for me. It does get the floor clean and dry with a little push and pull and with the new attachments there's nowhere it can't go.
To sum it up works great, cleans great and I wouldn't be without it.
