LOVE IT!!!

I just bought my steam mop today after seeing the many infomercials about it. I was hesitant to pay the $80 bucks for it I must say. But am I glad that I did!! I have WHITE tile in my foyer and kitchen and with four kids, a dog and a husband, it wasn't very white anymore. I would sweep and mop everyday to try to stay on top of keeping the floor looking good but I was not successful. The steam mop worked wonders, it got all the hidden, deep down dirt and grime out of the tile and it is gleaming all over again. I definitely would recommend this mop, it does work and it is worth the money. I had no trouble pushing the mop or with taking the pad off and the handle was very sturdy. My life just got a little easier today!
Love it

I HATE dragging out the bucket and mop, and with the steam mop, all I have to do is vaccuum first to get any big particles up off the floor. I read some reviews about the mop being hard to push, I found that wetting the pad a little bit first, helps. I truly love this product, the only improvement is I wish it had a longer, retractable cord.
Shark Steam Mop ~ A Winner!

I bought the mop today, and was excited to get home to use it. I first used it on my master bathroom and it cleaned wonderfully. I then used it in my foyer hard wood flooring, and again it worked good but streaked a little. When I used it in my kitchen, I added about 1/8 cup of vinegar and it worked wonderfully - no streaks (but not recommended). I love the mop and will probably use it 2-3 times per month on all my tile and wood floors! My only complaints are that the cord tends to get in the way, it can sometimes take a bit of arm muscle to get it going (better than sore knees tho) and it did streak a little on my wood (but I think I fixed that problem). I am keeping it, and I would recommend it!
A KEEPER

This mop is awesome! I have a very large ceramic tile kitchen which took 45 min to wet mop. The SHARK cuts my time in 1/2 and leaves my floor spotless. You have to vacuum or sweep 1st! I've found the pads don't come completely clean and feel $10/pad for replacements is a bit pricey. But, for me, it's worth it. Plus I have a puppy who still has occassional accidents ~ I love the the fact that the mop kills the germs - I clean up his area in a jiffy and know the germs are gone!! Would recommend a larger tank and longer cord - I have to move the cord and refill 2x to do my kitchen. Otherwise, it's a gem.
LOVe it

I love this product. My floors are immaculate and clean in less than five minutes. I'm telling everyone I know to purchase one of these. It beats a mop and cleaning solution anyday. Fun to use and easily mops up any mess!
Steam Mop YES & NO
2/8/2008 - SHARON of West Virginia, USA writes:
I purchased the Shark Steam Mop from the TV. Big mistake on my part. I did like the results from the mop. I had hairspray on my bathroom floor that I could not remove. I even got on my hand and knees with a scrub brush and it would not come up. The steam mop removed it the first try. That was wonderful, however, when I took the pad off the handle broke in half. I boxed it back up and sent it right back. Yes, I paid shipping both ways. I made a payment of $51.90 but only received $25.90 back. I did not know the shipping cost was $25.00. That’s just a bit on the pricey side. To send the mop back only cost $10.00 and that was because I insured it.

I just bought this shark steam mop and I liked it because I don't have to get on my knees which are bad. I didn't like the cord getting in the way. Would like to know where do you get the distilled water? Name stores please? Please let me know if you had a hard time getting the dirt off the pad when placed in the washer. My floors weren't very dirty but the pad still has some dirt on it after being washed.
I think it's great

I think this is a great product. I recommended it to all my friends. I've used it on tile floors and also my hardwood. Of course my house is usually clean so for those that are "dirty" you might not think it works well. The only thing i am a little hesitant about is that it does put off a lot of steam and it concerns me around my wood cabinets.
Buyer Beware!

Watched the infomercial and decided to give it a try. I have tile, no wax floors and sealed hardwood. What is the use of using on tile if it does not clean grout? And you can not use on no wax floors which is what most floors are now! I watched the infomercial very closely again. In the demo I noticed the woman mentioned how well it cleaned grout and the man who was demonstarting said nothing. Plus if you look the "mess" is only on the tiles, not in the grout. Plus they never mention not being able to use on no wax floors. In fact they state you can use it on any floor except unsealed wood! Very deceptive! I returned mine to the store I purchased it at. I purchased it localy so I would not be stuck with paying for S&H both ways if it did not stand up to its claims. Very glad I did! Gives infomercials a bad name.
junk
2/4/2008 - Brenda of Washington, USA writes:
This product was a piece of junk. It spit dirty steam all over my tile and hard wood floors, I had to go back over them with a regular mop. my swifter worked 100 times better and was much cheeper. its just another cheep piece of plastic from china with about a $30.00 shipping and handling charge. shame on me for getting sucked into the excited fat man's hype on the infomercial.
Works Well

I just bought the Steam Mop after seeing the commercial many times. I used it on my laminate floors and it worked pretty well. I did have to go over the floor twice to get it clean without streaking, but I'm chalking that up to the fact that the Wet Jet we were using had left a residue that was tough to get up. The second time I mopped the floor though, it came very clean. The pads do need to be changed after only one floor worth of cleaning, so I think the company should offer additional pads at a much lower cost. $30 for three extra pads is a ridiculuosly high price considering the mop itself costs $80. I would definately buy it from a local store to save on shipping. $80 is enough money for this product and if I had to pay shipping in addition to the cost, I probably would not have purchased it. While it does work well, it does seem a bit on the flimsy side and I hope it holds up to repeated uses.
Easy enough for a 9 year-old!
2/2/2008 - Nikki of Florida, USA writes:
I purchased this product becuase I am tired of the old mop, bucket, and cleaning solutions. I found this product easy enough to use that my 9 year-old could use it without making a mess! I am happy with my purchase, but I wish that the water tank was larger and the steam was evenly distributed across the pad. I recommend this product.
not what I thought

I waited so long to buy this steam mop, it look so easy on tv no real pushing, I thought. It works good on tile floors but not so easy on hard wood.You have to really push. Very disappointing.My hard wood floors look nothing like the commercial there dull from the steamer.
DO NOT BUY
1/28/2008 - Miss Marie of Illinois, USA writes:
The pads never stayed on the mop and the mop didn't clean well at all. When trying to return item I was given the run around and had to call back three times before receving a customer service rep willing to give me the return authorization # to ship the mop back without trying to talk me into keeping it. Talk about adding insult to injury. Ramon was the worst rep of all he out and out lied to try to get me to keep the mop.
shark steam mop a flop
1/25/2008 - sally of Nevada, USA writes:
I was disappointed in the shark steam mop. The handle (plastic connection) broke in half within the first few minutes of use. The second one remained intact, however the cleaning results were average to poor. It was convenient, and it appeared to make steam, but all of steam is directed to only the middle of the pad. My tile and wood floors were still dirty after I used the steam mop. I re-mopped them and my mop pad picked up twice as much dirt as the micro fiber pad. I am going to return it to the store.
I love It

I purchased the steam mop becauseI was tired of wasting money on swifer wet jet refills as well as all those chemicals. I love it. I also have lower back pain and would always strugggle when moping. I found the steam mop easier on my lower back. I purchased additional cleaning cloths so I can use a couple of them when I clean my whole house.
love it

My Mom purchased two mops and gave one to me.I love it!It saves me so much time and I actually mop more often now than I did before with the old mop and bucket.It seems to get the floors very clean.The only complaint I have is that after you wash the pads they seem alot harder to push across the floor.It is back breaking.And they also seem to not fit as good after being washed.I washed them as the directions said and I let them hang dry.I Also think that the price of the 3 replaceable pads is too much money for just 3.I do think this product could use a little improvement but for now I am content with it.
Sure Beats A Mop and Bucket

I purchased this product hoping that it would make cleaning our laminate Floor in the family room easier. That floor gets really tracked up with dirt and muddy doggy paw prints. I used a sponge mop first and then the Steam Mop. It did pick up a lot of dirt but the floor was still not totally clean. My biggest complaint is that it stuck to the floor and was hard to push after the pad got wet and my back was killing me by the time I finished (I am tall and this may not be a problem for shorter people). The second time around I sat in our rolling office chair and pushed it that way which gave me much better leverage and picked up more dirt. Overall, I like this product much better than a mop and bucket. We will see how long the handle lasts - it seems to be rather flimsy for the amount of pressure you have to use to push it. It was easier to push and did a good job on our ceramic tile kitchen floor and front hallway marble tile floor. I will keep this mop and hope that it holds up well to the use it gets in our home.
Not all that it's cracked up to be
1/17/2008 - Liza of New Jersey, USA writes:
I tried this mop on my kitchen floor. It worked no better than my wet jet mop. Plus, it just moved the dirt around instead of picking it up. Then I tried it on my carpet. It was never mentioned that the carpet "attachment" doesn't actually attach to the mop. It just sits on the carpet, and then you place the mop on top of it. The instructions calls it a glider, so you can glide the mop over the carpet. The attachment/glider doesn't move when you try to mop on carpet, so I couldn't get anything cleaned! What a waste! Buyer Beware!!
Shark Steam Mop Really Works
1/14/2008 - Marie of Connecticut, USA writes:
I just bought the Shark Steam Mop as I am tired of using a mop that leaves streaks and water marks on my ceramic and laminate floors. I put it together and did as the directions stated to wash the pads before using. I steam mopped my laminate and ceramic floor and was very impressed with this steam mop. There were no streaks and no water marks. The floors were clean and it was very fast. I am very happy with this product. The only thing I would change is for it to hold more water.
