Got one, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Very quick to use, cleans the muddy floor, the little accidents and its great to "de-flea" hard floors!

Best purchase I made in the last year!

I wouldn't be without mine either, I love it! Some are not so good though, I've had a couple of those too.

i`ve got one, but to be honest dont use it, worried about the heat on my wooden floors

Plus, cant get away from the old mop and bucket routine, plenty of disinfectant and bleach

I don't use mine any more much prefer a mop and bucket to be honest. Unless you change the head frequently all you're doing with a dirty floor is spreading it about because the dirt has nowhere to go.

I'm with Trouble on this one. I loved mine when I first got it, but did notice it left smears on the laminate floor.......I chose to ignore that! Then when the handle broke and I was waiting for a replacement, I reverted to mop and bucket.....one of those flat pads. I rinse the pad at least 3 times during mopping each room, and by the end the water was black. I still use the steam mop occasionally though.

I've got a Shark but to get any amount of steam you have to keep pumping the handle. I was considering the green one on the shopping channels but wonder if they really are as powerful as you see on screen with great swathes of steam coming out. My friend has a Polti steam cleaner and swears by that. Whatever I end up with I will never go back to mop and bucket.

They are great but I`ve never had one that lasted more than a year so have gone back to old fashioned mop and bucket.

Mine has a warning on the filler cap that you have to use distilled water to stop this, which I always do, never from the tap.

Mine is that lime green one and I have to say, it really does a good job, but I wash the pad after each use. I've had the Polti steam cleaner, that blew up after 6 months, along with a few others, but this mop has stayed the course for 2 years now.
