Add a Little Vinegar to Keep Steam Coming
** Update** Because I used only distilled water in it, I didn’t think mineral buildup would be a problem, but I got so frustrated that it would stop producing steam after 15 minutes, I tried putting about 2 tablespoons white vinegar into the water tank with the water. That’s what it needed! Now producing reliable steam.I use the accessory nozzles and scrubbers more than the floor steamer. Directing the steam does well on the soot on a fireplace door, baked on oven grease, and even some odd resin that leaked down from the attic of a summer cabin. (It might have been solidified pack rat pee.) There was a big string of it stuck to the wall and this steam dissolved it without damaging the wall surface.

Utilitarian
I’ve seen all the mixed reviews on this steam mop. I decided to take a risk because it was on sale.Short: it is a tad bit on the short side and I am 5’4”. Maybe if the handle had an extra 2 or 3 inches to it, but for me it’s not a major deal breaker after getting used to it but it was very noticeable at first.Tools and gadgets: it has a lot of tools and gadgets and you can store some of them in the unit itself or you can store it in the drawstring bag it comes with. Love the drawstring bag. I haven’t used any of the gadgets yet.Stands up: This thing stands up on its own so it’s easier to store away and it is petite and doesn’t take up much space. Which I love.Water: it didn’t use a lot of water. It uses about 17 oz of water between its two water compartments. Depending on how dirty your job is, it can clean a lightly dirty 600-800 square foot space. For anything dirtier than that you will have to refill one or two times for that same square footage.Grout: This item does clean grout. There is a small attachment to do so when you attach it to a wand like tool. There IS a larger triangular grout brush on the bottom of the mop head itself so you don’t have to get on your knees or bend over. This is the one I use often for the tiled floors downstairs. I have dogs that will pee off the pee pad and get urine in the grout lines. This thing totally cleans up the yellow urine easily and the grout lines are perfectly white afterwards. It takes a little practice learning how to perfectly angle the triangular brush where the grout lines are… but the effort in the end is worth it.Before this I had a canister steam mop from a brand that starts with Steamfast. This thing is super heavy, can hold more water, but hard to maneuver around corners, etc. I find more joy using this Hoover steam mop. Also one other reason why I bought this mop is because you have temperature or maybe it’s steam control and if I ever needed to use a lower setting for things like laminate flooring I can do so without worrying about destroying my flooring.This mop doesn’t leave a lot of water behind so cleaning time is quick. I’m not sure if it’s because on the hottest/max setting it reaches a temperature that avoids moisture or because of the microfiber cloth pads.I would avoid using tap water on this because I’m almost certain it will stop this machine from working after a few tries. I use bottle water.I gave it 4 stars because I’ve only had it for a month and used it a total of 5 times. If this thing lasts a long time I will change the rating to 5 stars.

Will buy again
A must have. Simple and works

Solid Surface = Ya. Rug = Na.
This steamer is lightweight and easy to use. But for rugs, I would give it a 2, maybe 3 stars. It is not a vacuum so it doesn’t remove the dirty water… it just sort of spreads it. Not enough to worsen the effected area but leaves area wet and really not that better off then it was to begin with either. Also it has no rollers…. Sooooo you’re basically pushing this thing over the rug and the rug glide thing that it comes with doesn’t make it any easier….Main thing to keep in mind is that this is NOT A vacuum it sprays steam, then you push the pad over steam area…. So as you can imagine… good for hard surfaces but not so much for rugged areas. I’m returning mine.

I was skeptical at first but this is the best investment I’ve made for my home cleaning so far. It is so easy to use and absolutely powerful! Cleaned by filthy oven and my fridge in no time! Use it on my cupboards and floors daily!

Me encanta cada parte del producto. Es muy fácil de usar, ligero, el compartimiento para los accesorios me quita de estar buscando donde los puse, no gotea, super versátil, a pesar de que los depósitos de agua son pequeños rinden bastante, quita las manchas muy fácil, la cantidad de vapor es perfecta. Vi en otros reviews contras que le ven pero de todos esos contras yo no los viví: los accesorios no se caen del compartimiento, no gotea, el vapor sale caliente, la almohadilla no se safa de la placa de abajo cuando lo estás usando, no deja manchado el piso y sale bastante vapor. Creo que lo único que no me super encanta es que como solo usas agua deja un olor no desagradable pero tampoco neutro y de hecho en las manchas dejadas por mis mascotas llega a oler mal y tengo que darle varias pasadas. Me encantaría poderle agregar algún producto de limpieza pero en las instrucciones claramente dice que no se puede usar nada excepto agua. Eso es lo único que le veo. De ahí en fuera pffff es una maravilla.
