Shark Steam Mop, Lightweight Steam Mop for Hard Floors with 2 Machine Washable Cleaning Pads & Fill Flask, 375ml Capacity, 5.5m Power Cord, 30 Second Heat-Up, White & Green S1000UK

First off, you need to know that I am not a manic house cleaner by any vague stretch of the imagination. I clean because I have to, and other than the kitchen and bathroom, I tend to leave the rest of the house until someone is coming round, or I can't stand looking at it any more! Having moved to an old farmhouse with half tiled and half wood floors, I was facing the prospect of lots of one of my least favourite chores: mopping floors. A friend mentioned they had a steam mop, which I'd never heard of, so I did some research and settled on this one. It appealed on 2 levels: 1. It looked quick and easy, and 2. It doesn't need chemicals. From a health perspective I've been a big fan of using natural products as much as possible for a while, and now that we have a septic tank, it's imperative not to use harsh chemicals. I picked this based on the reviews, and I have not been disappointed. It is really easy to use, cleans floors like a dream (goodbye muddy footprints!), is much easier on my back than mopping, and cleans and dries really quickly. Can't really ask for much more. My only complaint is that it's turned me into a bit of an evangelical fan of its floor cleaning prowess, which is a little on the sad side!We use it mostly on the tile floors in the living areas, as they get grubbiest, but it also works a dream on the wooden floors in the bedrooms, though we use it on the lowest setting and move fairly quickly for them. The cable's a good length, so I can clean a whole room without having to move the plug. The reservoir is big enough for me to clean our decent sized kitchen/diner and sitting room before it runs out.Happily we are in a much softer water area than our previous house, so we use water that's leftover in the kettle - just top up the little filling jug once it's cooled down. Seems to be working fine so far, and saves faffing around with distilled water.My final little rave is the good design for storage. The cable actually wraps around exactly where it is supposed to be (unlike most vacuum cleaners), and it hangs from a hook for easy, out of the way storage. There's even a little place to clip the filler jug on, but that tends to live near the kettle in our house for easy filling as above. The filler jug is also the correct size to fill the water reservoir to the full mark from empty. Lots of little well thought out design points.So, to summarise, I am happy as larry with this steam mop - seems like excellent value for something that makes a job I hated so much easier. Highly recommended.

Love this steam mop! It's made life easier to clean up after puppies. It's used multiple times daily and the pads are easy washed out with shower. Easy to fill, ready quickly, no leaks, velcro pads are so quick to put on and they get right up to edges, floors dry quickly and as it's so quick to pull out and use floors have never been cleaner 😀

I have only used this steam mop once so this is my initial summary. On the whole this is a good steam mop. The instructions are good and it is simple to put together. Not too heavy, seems quite well made, and is manoeuvrable. The one thing that really lets it down for me is that there is no on/off switch. If, say, you are using it with an extension lead and have to break off mopping for some reason, you have to get to the socket to turn it off. I know that's not a big deal but would have been so much better with an on/off switch. Also, it doesn't stand up. It has to be leant against something when not in use. But it cleans really well and, even on high steam, it doesn't leave the floor too wet.

I like the lightness of the steamer. Very easy to put together. Mop pads velcro onto the base, machine washable. Very easy to move it around on the floors (hard wood, tile and glued vinyl tiles).When I used it on the glue vinyl kitchen floor I moved it fast over the floor as you're not meant to put hot steam on glued flooring in case it lifts the vinyl from the heat and I didn't rest the mop on the floor either otherwise the mop pad gets hot as there is no ON/OFF switch on the handle so i had to switch it off at the wall plug. Easy to fold away and store. Easy to fill the tank too. Good value for money.

Quick start up, Powerful. Ample cord length, did the job without over wetting the floor.Pads adhere Well, Really pleased with the Purchase.

Hard work, you have to pump it. Very much regret the purchase.
