" ... When we moved from our carpeted house to one with wooden flooring the most exciting thing I looked forward to buying was the steam mop. ... "
" ... easy to use, cleans wonderfully, stores easily. ... "
" ... I was expecting this steam mop to have more power effects, and hoping it would steam/deep clean the grout in my kitchen while it cleaned. ... It works really well for regular mopping and gets the stuck on bits that a regular mop can't/that you have to really scrub with a regular mop, but the grout stayed the same. ... All in all I like it, especially since the mop pads can go in the wash so I know it's clean. ... "
" ... We have wood-look tile throughout our house, and this does a killer job of keeping everything clean! ... "
" ... Best mop ever ... "
" ... Makes your floors smell good with the replacement pad. ... "
" ... Cleans so deep you'll need to wash mop head after every use. ... Use one or two drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant smell. ... "

" ... They both broke. ... "
" ... I returned it in the original package down to the plastic bags it was packaged in. ... "
" ... but i suspect that the cap is at a very hot point of contact, and it's plastic, so maybe it expands and melts and somehow gets stuck easily and breaks often ... "
" ... Would discourage this product and find another that is more durable. ... "
" ... The cover, cheap and to expensive. ... "
" ... It broke almost immediately after use. ... "
" ... It is not very sturdy. ... "

" ... It gummed up the works and in between that and not using distilled water, I ruined my last one after a year of use and it was 100% MY FAULT. ... This time around I am only using pure distilled bottled water and it is going much better!! ... "
" ... Used Product 2 Times and Went to use it 3rd time and it wouldn’t steam Water wasn’t going down into the rag ... "
" ... As others have mentioned, the cap to the water tank will break. ... "
" ... I purchased it in March, and it has already stopped steaming, and water is pouring out the back. ... "
" ... But I have to give it one star because the cap to the water tank breaks easily and cost over $7 plus shipping to replace. ... "
" ... The only drawback, for me, is it hard to grab hold of the water tank and pull it out. ... "
" ... First one made a mess with lots of water. ... "
" ... I noticed the water tank ALREADY had some water in it and it was sour when I opened it! ... "
