jamlei Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was looking at this too. However my only concern is that it seems bulkier than the Shark. It looks like it would be harder to get into tight spaces. But for the price, it might me worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLM Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you have a big Lots near you, they usually have the reconditioned sharp for $50. I bought one, so did my sister, no problems with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissy72 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have one and love it. Before I bought mine I did some reading of reviews on both the Shark and the Bissell. I went with the Bissell because I read better reviews for it. One thing I do is, I put a couple drops of essential oil in my water tank because I missed the smell that comes from the cleaner I used to use to mop the floor. I use lavender oil.

lauriekunitake Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I own this mop - does a good job on the tile, 50% of my house is tile BUT does not clean the grout at all. I use a brush & softscrub 2-3X a year to keep my grout clean. Good price - I paid $69 on Amazon a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusha120 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 once you get a steam mop, you'll never go back. It's like boiling everything you own. This is a great deal and it's going under my tree as a gift for my sister (with her ifrst new place) and a new one for me. if you cut a plastic food storage box, you can 'make' the carpet steamer part. I couldn't live with out this thing. The shark works well, BUT the handles break. Hoping for better luck with this one. Everything appears clean, but most of all, you KNOW it is.

Promom Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 what about laminate floors, do these steam mops do okay on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlilax Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Think this one will be online? I wonder if I have to be in line at 5am? This year's BF is disappointing to me and its the ONLY thing I want. Not sure its worth 5am for a mop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvbargainz Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Make sure you read the reviews before you buy. Many owners say this mop can get expensive because there is a filter you need to replace, as often as every six months . Apparantly you can minimize the need for this by using distilled water in the tank, especially if you have hard water. I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to buy this, even at half price, for this reason. And I have read that it will not clean grout, and some reviewers have reported that it leaves laminate flooring a little too wet. Not an owner, just reporting reviews. Decide for yourself and keep that receipt for 90-day returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarr492 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Did ANYONE happen to pick up an extra one to sell????? I didn't get one!!!!!! One lady sat hers down and left it and I tried weaving thru the line to get it..but another lady snatched it right up. I almost had Sears to price match it for me too.....but then a manager came up and told them no because it stated limited item and no rain check. If it werent for that...I would have been able to get one of theirs that they had for 98.00. UGH.....I really really want one!!!! Anyone think target will get anymore on their truck coming in tonite since its a two day sale item????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLOCK56TH Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I got one and have engineered hardwoods. I havent opened the box yet because I am not sure if my floors are sealed or not. I plan on researching before using on the hardwoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
