Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. No harsh (or expensive) cleaners means no fumes or residues to irritate lungs or muddy delicate finishes, while the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water leaves floors dry in just seconds. Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there's no lag once you refill it. The Steam Mop's low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. Other thoughtful design touches include a quick-release cord wrap and easy-carry handle, as well as a built-in water filter to protect from the minerals and impurities in hard water. (An indicator lets users know when the filter need to be replaced.) Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Measuring 6 by 11 by 45-1/2 inches, the Bissell Steam Mop weighs less than 7 pounds and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.--Mary Park

 Bissell compared to the Shark Steam Mop July 19, 2008

This product is just OK. For some with lots of tile that not too dirty, it may be fine. It is a light cleaning tool. If I had lots of heavy regular filth due to heavy animal and kid traffic, I wouldn't buy either steam cleaner. I am returning the Bissell because I have a lot of wood laminate and it leaves the floors WAY too wet and streaked. But you ought to be aware of the pros and cons since some things may not matter to you. I also borrowed my sister's Shark Steam Mop so I will compare the two for you as the cost is identical.
*The Bissell has a swivel head which is great around the toilet and the Shark does not swivel at all.
*The Bissell is well made for a such a low profile appliance and feels sturdy with a nice thick cord. The Shark feels cheaply made with a flimsy cord. The lengths of the cord are similar. You'll need to use an extension cord with both.
*The Bissell has a removeable water bottle (convenient!) and the shark does not.
*The Bissell weighs more than the Shark (about 8 pounds), but is very easy to push. The Shark is harder to push, but weighs only 3 pounds. You'd get an aerobic workout if you cleaned a whole house of flooring with the Shark and was a lightweight like me!
*The Bissell leaves you with a VERY wet floor even if you go easy on the steam trigger. I also had lots of streaks on my laminate wood flooring. I would not use it on laminate or wood w/o drying them off ASAP. The Shark does not leave streaks and did not leave a sopping trail behind. The floors dried on their own in under a minute. This is a HUGE plus!
*The Bissell pads have a drawstring and are pretty thin and not absorbant which is a contributing factor to the soppiness the mop leaves behind. The Shark pads are velcro attached (easier!)and are thicker and more absorbant. They are also much more expensive to replace, however.
So, my conclusion is that if I had tile floors, I might consider keeping it as the excess wetness wasn't as huge streaky issue (I went and cleaned my in-laws white tile with it) and it's a sturdier product that seems like it will last for years. I would just find some elastic pads that were ALOT better (I was considering the Tersano pads sold here Tersano lotus Wet Mop Cloths, 2-Pack #LMC28 as a possibliity since they will fit). But since the drier steam and the better pads are VERY important to me, I may actaully go with the Shark even though the machine is rather flimsy feeling and appears more cheaply made. I'd just use distilled water in it and hope it goes few years before falling apart. You'd think that by now some manufacturer would be able to provide the best of both products. What happened Bissell? You could have had a GREAT product if the pads were thick and absorbant and you provided us with the dry steam that the infomercials imply!

I usually wipe the floor with a regular mop or on my knees as I thought that was the only way I could get the floor really clean! This mop has steam, so I know the steam will kill all the ickies away and my knees are thankful too!I can now mop my 1500 s.q. home in about 20 minutes and one tank of water. Amazon's prompt shipping is the icing on my cake :)
This mop is great! July 17, 2008

I was debating between the Shark and this steam mop and read quite a few reviews for each. I finally decided to give this one a try and have not been disappointed. My house is almost completely ceramic tile and I wanted to get away from using chemicals on my floors.
Overall I really love this mop. It's done a great job on my floors and it is extremely quiet. I do agree that the power cord is a bit short but that's easily remedied with an extension cord.
Do:
-Wash the pads before the first use. In my excitement to use the mop as soon as it arrived I immediately went to work mopping my kitchen floor. The pads had an odd odor when I opened them, it was worse once they got wet. Worse than that wet dog smell =(
-Sweep or vacuum your floor prior to mopping.
-Use distilled water to extend the life of the filter
-Buy extra pads
-Change the pad frequently for large areas
Don't:
-Use on hardwood floors (based on what many other reviewers have said)
-Expect your floor to dry in seconds. As the pad gets wetter the more wet your floor will be. Drying time is about the same as regular mopping.
-Expect this to work miracles on grout
It's a great mop for the money, I strongly recommend it!

Did a good job and very quick expecially on the bathroom tile floor. Kitchen will still require a good scrubbing once on a while.
