I'm in love with this mop. My husband cooks in the kitchen a lot for friends. I cannot keep up with the cleaning. It's really hard on my back and energy, so much so that I have to do the kitchen floor across two days. It always was dirty. Stuff was stuck on that I just could not get up without getting down on my hands and knees - but I cannot due to age and health issues. I was using one of those squirt mops. It was so difficult to get anything off, and you'd have to use it immediately after a spill to keep things clean, if you want the easiest cleanup. Then I got this mop. This mop is like using a vacuum across the carpet. It's that easy. It's easy on the back, and I can do my floor quickly, even when it was at its dirtiest when I first got the mop. Once it's assembled, it nearly instant to heat up - very quick. It does make a little noise - don't be alarmed. Then you're off to steaming your floor clean, with no chemicals. There's a medium and high steam setting. I set mine to high because of the stickiness, grease, and messes, but the medium setting works pretty good too. It makes the floor warm and puts out some steam to clean. It's not hot to walk on. Shoes are suggested, probably because your floor is wet and you can slip. If you wear shoes, make sure they're anti-skid, and not something like flip-flops. I'm so happy to have a clean and neat kitchen floor now. After my husband was done cooking this week (after he splattered a tray of sticky sauce and half-cleaned it) I went in with this mop and the floor was clean again in no time. My first mop didn't work properly and I had to send it back. The second one, the water door latch doesn't close after the first time it was opened. I wanted to return it too, but Amazon offered me a percentage off to keep it. So I decided to do that. The mop works just fine and I love it so much, I don't want to return for a pristine mop. This mop has been on a great sale, and what a bargain. Read more
Great design. Easy to use, lightweight, swivel head is so convenient, and does a super job cleaning. Read more
Kenmore 2 in 1 steam mop. I have owned a few steam mops which I would consider quality products. This mop is right up there. I mainly use it as a mop. It’s lightweight, versatile and gets the job done. It comes with whatever attachments you would need; jet, fan, scrub brush carpet slide and two pads. It can be used as a standup mop or handheld unit. It also has a decent warranty. Where this unit falls short, pun intended, is it’s cord length. I think its only around 13’. Not the end of the world and most similar products have the same issue. The other issue I have with this unit is that I question its disinfecting prowess when used as a mop. From what I understand, for a steam mop to be effective at disinfecting, it has to reach a temperature of 108° or better for a minimum of 8 seconds. I believe this unit gives off a steady cloud of steam at that temp but, when used as a mop the pads might hinder that. This is mainly due to the design. If you look at the bottom, there is only one jet where steam is omitted. Most units at this price point and below are designed like this, its just not limited to this unit. A better design would have multiple steam jets for more spread. For instance, a previous mop I owned had eleven jets. All in all this is a decent, well made steam mop by a well known company at an affordable price. I would recommend it unless you would like to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Read more
I love this mop! and I wish I had bought a steam mop sooner. It’s super easy to use and the steam really lifts up gunk and stains without scrubbing. I also love that this gets my floors cleaned quickly and sanitizes them without the need for chemicals that can get on my pets’ paws. Lightweight, easy to maneuver, and simple to toss the cleaning pads in the laundry to reuse. Wish I had got one years ago! Read more
Bought this Consumer Reports highly rated steam mop to clean tile floors. It cleans well! Our kitchen floor had some gunk tracked it that needed to be scrubbed. The scrub brush and the high steam setting got it all up with some persistence. My only complaint is that I wish the brush was easy to remove for cleaning. I had to clean the gunk out several times before the floor was clean. You get plenty of steam on either the Hi or Low steam settings. The cord is plenty long enough and wraps in the cord holders easily. Use distilled water. The time from ON to hearing steam is less than 30 seconds. The mop is comfortably light weight. Recommend being careful with engineered wood or when cleaning grout. CR does not recommend using steam for real or faux wood despite all of the videos you can find doing it. Could cause buckling is their claim. I used the brush to dig the grout out of our bathroom tile and had to replace it. (Thought it was dirt. It wasn't.). The wider grout in our kitchen was cleaned by the brush with no problem. Again, cleaning grout with aggressive brushing and high steam is not recommended. Otherwise, wish we had bought a Kenmore steam mop a long time ago. Read more
Very impressive performance in cleaning grout lines in floor tile. Much easier than using a handheld steamer as you can use this standing up. It's not real fast, but it gets the job done. We used some old towels to collect the dirty water as we moved around the tiled room. that seemed to work better than using a regular mop. Read more
I bought this to replace my PurSteam mop. I've only been able to use it once, so far. What I noticed - it uses a lot water in a short period. It leaves excessive water residue/streaks. The pads are a bit flimsy and do not soak up the excessive water from the handy. The pads need improving. I had to go over the floors with a dry swiffer to get rid of the excessive water streaks. It has 2 steam settings and detachable steam scrubber, no other attachments for other uses. Right now, I am not in love with it but it did steam clean the floors really well. The two steam heat settings are handy. Read more
