katiesmommy01 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I NEVER buy anything from TV, but this one really sounded like something good for my home...Anyone have any experience with it?http://www.thane.com/products/housewares/h2omop/h2omop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I always wait until the item is available in stores that sell the 'as seen on tv' merchandise to buy if I really want it. Usually cheaper that way AND you have the store's return policy if you don't like it or it doesn't work as advertised. JMHO... I don't have any experience with this steamer/mop, but my mom bought this one: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/shopbyroom/laundryutilityroom/hardfloor/PRD~287098/Shark+Steam+Mop.jsp over a year ago from Kohls when it was on sale and she LOVES it! Seems like the same features:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masylimed Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I bought this one off of QVC a few months ago and think it does an absolutely fabulous job on my hard wood floors. A neighbor recommended it and I thought I'd try it since QVC has a good return policy. http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.V26315.cm_scid.PROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesdcen Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I bought the shark steam mop a few weeks ago at Kmart and LOVE IT!!! So much easier with laminate floors. I have not tried the one you are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljl3185 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I have the Shark one. My grandma bought it at Costco for me and it came with 5 pads, the mop, and the filling tools and I LOVE IT!!!! She paid less for it at Costco than anyone else has it for. I think she paid somewhere around $65 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsk3 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I have the Shark Steam Mop and would reccomend it. It is a great product, if you watch you can catch in on sale and Kohls and if you have a % off coupon it is a really good deal. KW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wispy204 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I borrowed the H2O from a friend and I personally wasn't impressed at all. I used it on both my laminate and white tile and it left quite a bit of water on both. It was also very streaky on both. I don't know if I was using it incorrectly but I would not buy it.

katiesmommy01 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 OK, I got the shark mop, but cannot find a store that carries the carpet attachment! I've found it only on the company website...but with shipping it comes to over $20! Anyone know of where i can pick this up for less? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threelittlecupcakes Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have had the thane one for a long time now and I love it but the replacement mop pads are expensive! I can't find them anywhere except through the company and when doing ceramic tile floors they wear out fast (even though I have smooth tile) but I wouldn't give it up. I love being able to clean with steam instead of all the chemicals especially with a dog. Some say the chemicals in other products make the pets sick - cause they lick it off their feet. Sorry this post was late but I just found it. Hope the Shark one works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffnatu Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I would love one! I'm hoping I can talk DH into it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazolover Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Is this the Shark Steam Mop? I got mine at Kohls with the 30% off. They also carried the replacement pads. I have tried it once (just got it) and I have to say that I wasn't thrilled. For the money I spent, it seems a little flimsy. And after I finished my kitchen floor, I still noticed spots. I'll give it another go tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1kla Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have the Shark Steamer Mop and really like it. I agree with tazolover that it is a bit flimsy-I believe it's b/c it was engineered to be light weight-I also have a tendency to push hard. All-in-all I'm happy with the end result and the fact that there is no clean-up after the clean-up! The triangle head has me interested in the H2O mop...

wispy204 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I really didn't like it either. I borrowed the H2O from a friend. I used it to wash my laminate and my tile and both were left with water and streak marks. I was really disappointed. I'm glad I didn't waste the money. If you can borrow it, I would do so before making this purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanadeal Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 How much does the Shark mop usually go for? It's on sale at Kohl's right now for $80. Should I wait for it to go lower? With a 30% off it would be about $57 but if I can get it even lower than that, all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four_riderz Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 So has anyone found one of these that cleans hard (tile, wood, etc) flooring, carpet AND does smaller jobs, like the tile & grout in the bathroom? We recently moved into a home with over 1800 sq ft of tile, 3 laminate-floor rooms and many large area rugs. The tile in the bathrooms is in good shape, but it's a little dated and needs some tlc. I would LOVE to have one machine that does it all. Any suggestions? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA!hey, i've had the shark steam mop for a little bit now and am pretty happy with it...my entire house is tile, linolium and hard wood (just carpet in the halls)...i even took it into the shower to try to clean the pan...worked great!!! so white. I just want to get the carpet attachment and try that out...but cannot find it For tile and grout though you may need a separate device that's smaller for the tight spaces...good luck!

littlesdcen Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Our house is Hardwood except for the Kitchen tiles. LOVE IT> Have the shark also. Does anyone ad anything to the water for a scent? Do they make something for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowjeepster Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I just bought the Haan steam cleaner. I saw the infomercial and did some research. Then ran across one at Linens N Things for 20% clearance sale. It had the carpet attachment and 2 pads so I got it since I was wanting the carpet attachment. Original $100. and got it for $80. Have only tried it once but was impressed by the steam. After using it I used cleaner and wiped a spot on my kitchen floor and it was completely clean. Regular mopping would have never gotten it this clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kren Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 People with hardwood floors (not laminate) -- do any of these steam cleaners get *really* dirty floors clean? I have four kidz, two dogs, a cat, and a truly messy DH and after 10 years, I'm thinking the only hope for our hardwood is refinishing ... and I'm not gonna bother with that until the kidz are much much older. I have the Hoover Floormate, which gets the surface clean but doesn't remove the ground-in stuff, if you know what I mean. I can get more off with elbow grease but if I had that kind of time, I wouldn't be needing machines ... LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Hoover Floormate almost 2 yrs. ago and was so disappointed that I returned it. It didn't do any better than using a regular mop for me on my new tile floor. The steam cleaner definately gets things more clean and you don't have to buy any cleaning fluid. I would say it's worth a try compared to the expense of refinishing. Buy one at a store and if it doesn't work like you want it to you can return it and no shipping costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.I used my shark to get off the crayon on the hard wood (living room)/laminate (kitchen/dining) (compliments of my DD)...i'd been scrubbing at it for the past year on my hands and knees, nothing. 5 seconds with the shark and it's GONE.

kren Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 WOAH. katiesmommy01, you are singing my SONG! That's the kind of testimonial I like!!! BTW, did you know that WD-40 will get crayon out of pretty much anything? I called Crayola in a panic five years ago when my 18-month-old went Da Vinci on me all OVER my house ... they talked me down and since then I've never been without WD-40 in the house.
