Bissell 1867 Steam MOP Stick Vacuum

Pros: Ease of use, no chemicals, quick.
Cons: You're gonna need more cleaning pads.... just add that when considering the purchase...

I hate mopping, hate buckets, hate cleaning the mop after using it.... I LOVE my steam mop, it's so convenient.
Very easy to use, easy cleanup afterward. I don't have to worry about chemicals or sticky floors when I'm done.

Pros: Light, easy to use and really WORKS!
Cons: None so far!

I just bought the Bissell Bare floor steam cleaner. I couldn't believe how much dirt it got up. I just cleaned my hardwood floors with cleaner yesterday and when I used the Bissell today, the mop head was filthy. Gross gross gross!!! It is very light, very easy to use, heats up very quickly and I think that the mop heads are easy to get on and off. I am very very pleased! I was able to get it out of the box and start using it in 10 minutes.

Pros: Steam REALLY lifts out the dirt; microfiber covers sop it up like crazy.
Cons: I have a closet full of mops, rags, buckets, etc., to get rid of.

Almost didn't buy this after reading some negative reviews...glad I gave it a try! I have a very unprofessionally installed tile floor, very uneven, rough- finished tile. Light colored, of course. Three dogs and myself traipsing through the mud/dog room and kitchen all day after coming in from a muddy yard. I really thought it was hopeless. Tried a sponge mop, rag mop, hands-and-knees scrubbing. What a pain. Took forever and result was marginal. This steam mop took a fraction of the time, cleaned really, really well. I couldn't believe those microfiber covers did such a great job. By the time I finished, the floor was already dry where I had started. And NO chemical smell...just clean.

Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, cleans beautifully, no chemicals and excellent price.
Cons: Nothing I can think of.

This steam mop is excellent. I purchased it at a clearance price of around $62 which I was very pleased. I assembled it and plugged it in. The only thing that hung me up was the fact that I needed to hold the trigger down several seconds initially to get the water through the filter. (The book stated "It will take several seconds but didnt know I had to hold trigger, stupid me.) I thought it would go through on its own so i waited quite a while. Once I got it going, the mop proved itself over and over. Super easy to use, very light, no chemicals and cleaned wonderfully. I have a very, very large kitchen floor with textured ceramic tiles and one small female pomeranian pup. I love the fact that it sanitizes as it cleans and boy does it get hot! It comes with 2 mop heads and a storage rack.
Im really quite pleased and have already told all my friends.

Pros: Inexpensive and sturdy. Worked great on my light traffic tile. No chemicals! No residue!
Cons: Not great on sticky spots. Recommends distilled water. Left water spots on wood. Short cord.

This Bissell put together quickly and is very sturdy. The mop pad went on relatively easily and the water tank fills and installs quickly. The cord was too short to get across my entire kitchen. You have to hold the trigger the entire time you're mopping and that can make your hand cramp if you're doing a lot of mopping. It would be nice if it had a lock. Also, Bissell recommends using distilled water for best performance.

Tile: I had a lot of sticky spots to contend with and even after several slow passes (with pressure) I had to bend down and scrape with my fingernail. It also wasn't able to get much out of the grout. I had to go back over that by hand. It doesn't glide as smoothly as my regular microfiber swivel mop does, either.

Sealed hardwood: It left noticeable water streaks and spots on the finish.

I think it would work exclusively for someone who doesn't have kiddos or pets, but not for our family. We're going to need some chemicals for those heavy cleanings. I found it for $39 at Lowe's so I will keep it for lighter mopping and touch ups.

Pros: Everything-My floor is finally squeaky clean!
Cons: none so far

I have tried many mops and this is the best-crusted on food that my old mop couldn't touch, with this you just go over it a few times and it comes right off. The cord is on the right side, but not a big deal, I just hold it to the left, and if I plug it in the middle of my kitchen it reaches everywhere, and my kitchen is 25' long by 15' wide. One tank of water to do the whole kitchen. Holding the trigger is not a big deal either, because that's where you hold the handle anyway. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!

Pros: Cleans up spots and spills nicely.
Cons: Hard to put on mop heads and falls over easily.

I've had my steam mop for a couple years now and am getting frustrated with it. The mop heads are hard to put on unless they're wet. I have to vacuum or pre-mop the bathroom tile before I use the wet mop or it just pushes dirt around and I have to wipe it up. I can't turn it on and off and it falls forward very easily. While it does wash up spots nicely, I wish I could find something that doesn't require an arm wrestle with the mop heads and I wish it had an on/off switch.

Our builder advised us against using the mop on wood floors. That was after I tried it and it had already melted the polyurethane coating on the floor. They also advised against using it on the tile and grout; but I do it anyway.

Pros: Easy to use.
Easy to manuever.
Cleans reallly well!
Comes with 2 mop heads.
Cons: None so far!

The steam mop is easy to use and manuevers nicely. It worked equally as well on the hardwood floors, stone tile and linoleum. You don't need to pull the steam trigger very often. The more you pull it the wetter the floors get. The steam really loosend the dirt. We are retiring every other mop-like item in our house and we have several!

Pros: easily glides, and thats about it.
Cons: Leaves floors soaking and i mean soaking sopping wet and streaky and does not clean

I bought this steam mop after reading reviews and I have to tell you I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I don't know know what other people are talking about as it left my laminate floor streaky and SOPPING WET. It took my floors at least 20-30 minutes to dry, and after that I had to go and dry them with paper towels and the paper towels were dirty after drying them. I am returning this product after only one use and am going to TRY the shark steam mop. This new and improved bissell mop is JUNK!!!!!

Pros: It cleans right into the crevices.
Cons: It does not soak up left behind dirt water.

It is the first mop to clean in the crevices.
I pass it over slow so water is left on the floor and use my swiffer pads to soak up the dirty water.

Pros: Cleans easily and efficiently.
Cons: It is a good idea to purchase extra microfiber pads- they get dirty quickly.

I was looking for a way to clean my hardwood floor and bathroom floors without using any chemicals. This tool is great - I read a lot of really great reviews and decided to give it a try. This website worked because the reviews are accurate. My floors feel amazingly clean and not sticky like after cleaning with chemicals. My house feels much healthier now. I was a little worried about using water on the hardwood floors but I have read and heard from relatives that this is OK. I have already recommended this product to friends.

Pros: No chemicals Squeaky clean floor you feel like you can eat off of! Dries quickly
Cons: You need to vacuum or sweep up first so you don't push junk around

After reading many reviews in various places, I decided to purchase this mop a couple years ago (and purchased extra mop pads and filter that I haven't had to replace yet.)
I loved the idea that there were no chemicals to use and it cleans our ceramic tile kitchen floor (and tile bathroom floors) better than anything else.
I will say that I have a large kitchen area and I switch mop pads halfway through. I do need to use a small grout brush for any spots that may have sunk in a bit. I steam then scrub and steam again.
I love it!

Pros: Inexpensive, not too hard to operate, easy to clean up
Cons: Terry cloth pads come off too easily, esp on slate floor.

I just bought this item after reading the reviews. I needed something to clean my slate floor. It had gotten somewhat ruined by home improvement projects. Drywall dust gets everywhere! This mop really helped get rid of that white powdery film. It didn't get the grout as clean as I would have liked but it looks much better than before. I also like the mop for cleaning my bathroom floors. I wasn't really happy with the way it did my pergo floors. I'll have to try it again to see if it will do a better job (no streaks)

Pros: Lightweight, does a great job cleaning, quick drying time.
Cons: The cleaning pads are difficult to change easily.

This is a great product I use almost daily. It really cleans my tile kitchen floor in no time at all and I have quite a bit of tile to clean! It also dries very quickly allowing my family to get back in the room sooner than later!

Pros: Easy to use, Cleans well, Safe around Pets, Ready immediately
Cons: Hard to push, Needs more cloth heads

I purchased this item based on the previous reviews here and I love it. It did take me a few minutes to get used to using it as it is very hard to push at first (I figured out pulling it works best). I have pets and wood floors throughout my home and my primary goal was to get something that did a great job cleaning but which I didn't have to worry about the pets walking in wet chemicals. The water doesn't leave a dull residue on floors like my swiffer mop did and the floors are literally squeeky clean. My pets followed me around as I was using it and I didn't have to worry about them stepping where I'd just mopped. I like the trigger handle because I can take a break and leave it plugged in without having the steam flowing out. It was ready to go almost immediately after being plugged in, which was surprising. It took only a few minutes to assemble too. I realized though that I need to purchase more cloth heads as the 2 provided are not going to be enough.
