SharkSteam Pocket Mop with 2 Washable Double-sided Pads, Chemical-Free Cleaning, Swivel Steering, Lightweight, Steam Cleaner for sealed Hard Floors, Hardwood, Marble, Tile, Purple, S3501

Let me make one thing clear. After spending 10.5 years in the navy, I hate doing floors, and I especially hate mopping, or "swabbing the deck".That is why I've always looked for ways to minimize how much floor maintenance I have to do. I have spent way too much money on robot vacuums and mops to minimize my participation in floor maintenance. But let's be clear. Even the most expensive robot can't replace a good ole stick mop.Having tried sponge mops, string mops and even Swiffers, I found that all of them had big drawbacks. So it was with more than a little hesitation that I tried this steam mop from Shark. And to be fair, I picked it primarily due to it's price. It was one of the least expensive out there and had great reviews. And the idea of never having to buy disposable mop heads or specialized cleaner was pretty compelling.Not only that, a steam mop leaves no sticky residue, so it is truly requires no rinsing.What I didn't expect is how well this thing mops, and how easy it is to do so. The mopping action helps distribute the steam to the pad. The water container is easy to fill and attach, and the mop heads are secured via Velcro. It really is very easy to use. And effective. A couple of swipes with steam over the most stubborn stains and the stain is gone. This easily gets to the corners that my robot misses, and the reusable heads are easy to put in the washer and dryer.The extra long cord means you can cover quite a large area without having to unplug and plug in. And the lack of any type of rechargeable battery means you don't have to worry about replacing said battery after awhile.Sometimes simplicity wins the day, and as long as the heating element is good, there's not a lot of things on this mop that can fail. And even if it does, the replacement cost isn't that great.Are there other steam mops that are better, or have more attachments? Certainly. But for this price point you get an outstanding mop that is easy to fill, easy to operate and easy to maintain. And while my robo vacuum and mop gets most of the floor during a scheduled weekly mopping, my steam mop is easy to step in where the robot misses, or just easier to take out and deploy for an occasional quick cleanup.

I bought this because I love my shark vacuums...yes, I own several. This mop is amazing. It cleans my kitchen and hardwood floors on setting one. It cleans the tiled bathrooms on setting three. I love that idea don't need smelly cleaners. It's quick and easy to use. It heats up in under a minute. You can flip the head and use both side without touching it. It pops off without touching it. I feel like it disinfects the floors which I love in the bathrooms. Floors dry almost immediately. The cord is long so I don't have to replug it often even though my house is large. Two things to note. It doesn't stand up well even when you lean it against something. Don't leave it stand on a hardwood or laminate floor after it is hot. It might damage the surface. It's fine on tile. I put mine in the closet immediately and never let it sit on the floor. I learned my lesson when it damaged the finish on my hardwood floor. I applied the finish I use and it immediately remedied the problem but I won't take that risk again. Worth the money. I am shocked at how dirty my floors are. The first time I used it, my husband had mopped the kitchen floor that morning. We couldn't believe how dirty the mop was when I was done which took my less than 10 minutes. The only thing I would change is that I wish I could bleach the mops to get them clean again.

The only reason I’m not giving this mop five stars is because there’s no way to turn it off without unplugging it, so if you’ve cleaned yourself into a corner, you have to walk across your wet floors to unplug it, which obviously is annoying but also mostly avoidable if you think ahead.Other than that, this is a great steam mop! It does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it well. It doesn’t have any extra special features, but it doesn’t need them because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do, it cleans your floors. I have a golden retriever who always leaves my floors in a mess, I also live in an area that gets snow every winter, so between the snow and the salt in the winter and the mud and dirt in the summer this little mop gets it all! What I think I love most about it is that I actually know my floors are sanitized and not just wiped down. I used to use a swiffer wet jet and that thing always left a sticky film on my floors that would make them get dirty or faster. The steam from this mop, dries down quick, sanitize my floor and leaves my floors spotless.And if you’re on a budget, this is the best steam mop you could buy for the price.
