Bissell 1867 Steam MOP Stick Vacuum

Pros: No cleaners, just water
Cons: Tank always leaks, AWFUL to get pads on even w/o drying, short cord

I just don't see how others just love this. The water always leaks out of the tank. I have replaced the tank & caps several times and they always leak. I am tired of wrestling with the mop pads. I rip a nail every time. Sure, it is better than a mop & pail, but it could have been so much better. I can't even get the cleaning lady to use it. She hates the leaking water too. I am going to try a Steamboy.

Pros: Actually cleans the floor, unlike regular mops
Cons: Takes a bit more effort than regular mops

For years my wife and I needed a mop (as we all do!) but could never find one that really did the job. Swab types just wetted the floor and sponge types did no better. Both required a bucket or sink full of water to keep cleaning the swab. My wife got so frustrated with them that she decided to clean the floor on her hands and knees. Me not wanted to be seen as a slave driver (though I later found other people that did also clean their floors on hands and knees) got on the net and found the Bissell mop and read more on epinions. We got it and like it alot. My wife made the same comment another reviewer said, that it does not glide across the floor very easily. Heck, if it did glide easily like a sponge, I figure it aint cleaning! However, I would not recommend it for an older person with arthritis or weak arms.

Pros: It was very easy to use.
Cons: It is a bit heavy.

I saved Canadian MasterCard Choice Rewards and decided to order the Bissell Steam Mop on the basis of the reviews I read at Epinions. Com. It was very simple to assemble upon delivery. I was able to affix the handy hanging device to the inside of my broom closet with no difficulty. I used it for the first time today. One fill of the water receptacle with filtered fridge water, using my Brita Filtration pitcher, was all that was required to clean an average size foyer, a ten foot by ten foot kitchen, three stairs, a back hallway, main bathroom,Master bathroom and a PetStep Dog Ramp. My home is 1347 square feet, so the rooms are a fair size.

Pros: Light, creates steam fast, floor dries quickly. mop head goes in the wash. Great product.
Cons: you may have to go over muddy floors more than once

We purchased the Steam Mop about 3 months ago, and its works very well on our ceramic tile floors. It generates steam in 30 secs or less, and with a pull of the trigger you're cleaning. It's light, hides away nicely, and has 2 mop heads that slip off and you throw them in the washing machine. The floor dries very quickly and it's a breeze to use.

Pros: Cleans with only water. Light weight. Easy to use.
Cons: Uses distilled water.

This mop is fantastic. I saw the product on HSN and purchased. I ddint beleive that it would work that well. It does.

Pros: gives your floor a great shine, heats up in thirty seconds.
Cons: Price varies a lot so shop around. Mine, Lowes, 39.99

This Bissell Steam Mop 1867 is the best piece of floor cleaning equipment I have ever used. Is cleans deep down grime, it cleans quickly, easy to use, lightweight. The shine on my floor is the best I have ever seen it since the floor was brand new! Some one might think that elastic bands on the mop pad would be better but the elastic can wear out and then the pad you be useless. The string with toggle is a good idea. Would recc. to everyone. --N

Pros: Lightweight; cleans very well; very clear instruction manual; good size mop head.
Cons: Have not experienced any negative aspects of this product.

Using this steam mop is far easier and more efficient than a mop and bucket!  Bissell is a well-known brand and this mop lives up to the expected quality.  The water reservoir is large enough to clean several large rooms and is easy to fill.  The cord length is also very adequate to reach a large area.  This is a lightweight vacuum and easily maneuverable.  Swivel head makes for easy cleaning in a variety of spaces.  I was very skeptical about steam mops in general, but am very happy I tried this one. 

Pros: Lightweight
Cons:

Water tank too small, cord too short, leaves floor very wet, streaks, didn't clean well.

I just bought it last night and hope they will take it back. For all my wood and tile floors it would take all day to clean. The tank is small and refilling is a pain. The cord is toooo short and I can't even finish one room without moving the plug to different outlets. It leaves the floor wet and streaky and really didn't clean the dirty spots. There are only two adults, no children.

It should have an on/off switch.

I thought it would replace my Swiffer and other mops but it doesn't. Would not recommend it.

Pros: No chemicals, fresher smelling room, shines old vinyl, machine washable mop heads,fully self-contained
Cons: I wish the cord was longer. No complaints about the quality of the steamMop.

Our house has what appears to be 20 year old vinyl in the kitchen. I would never have believed it could shine. After mopping with the steamMop it shines. I was surprised that the air smells fresher after mopping with the steamMop. I have a little dog that spends much of his time with his nose to the floor in the kitchen looking for goodies that someone has dropped accidentally. It's nice not to have to worry about dangerous chemicals around him. I have a long, eat-in kitchen. A longer cord would be nice. The mop heads are 100% cotton so they do shrink after washing. Minimize shrinkage by hanging to dry. Before purchasing the steamMop I read in a review to wet the mop head before putting back on mop and it goes on easily. That works very well. My overall experience with the steamMop has been excellent!

Pros: Easy to use, cleans tile, hardwood, gleaming, makes mopping easy fast and less time.
Cons: Absolutely no cons

I have a Brissell 1867. Have had it for over a year, would not want to give it up. Honestly I can tell you, I think it is the best cleaning mop I have ever used. I have bragged so much about it to all my friends and family.

The trouble is I have looked everywhere in Nova Scotia Canada, as well as the Internet and can't find any company to ship to Nova Scotia Canada. Please email me at winnersfinish@hotmail.com. I have at least three in the coming year I would like to buy for weddings, and house warmings.
Please help

Pros: Cleaning power, attractiveness, heats up quickly, easy to assemble!
Cons: Getting the cleaning mop on can be a little frustrating at times!

With a large kitchen and 2 bathroom floors that need daily cleaning, our Swiffer WetJet was only doing so much. While shopping in Lowe's, we came across the Bissell Steam Mop and decided that it was worth a try - the Bissell reputation made it that much more attractive. I have only one word to say ... WOW! After using chemicals to clean my floors and having to tell my 2 boys "don't step on the kitchen/bathroom floors for 10 minutes", it sure is nice to have freedom! NO chemicals, NO waiting - nothing but clean floors! And it is an absolute joy to use! Looks nice, comes with a wonderful little hanging tool (or looks perfectly OK sitting in the corner of the kitchen). This thing is wonderful - heats up almost instantly and my floors are clean in no time - when done, just pop the cleaning cloth in the wash! NO cleaning pads to buy - Yipee!

Pros: Ease of use, heats quickly. Swivel head.
Cons:

If there are any I haven't found them

Several years ago I had the Bissell 1867 white steam cleaner. When we moved to Florida my kitchen floor wasn't as large as the previous house so I gave it to my daughter. Big mistake. Recently I bought the Bissell 1867-7 Green Tea Steam Cleaner. The cleaning head is smaller than the original white 1867 but it swivels which is great for under tables, around the toilet, etc. It's also much lighter in weight. The original 1867 was a little draggy to push around but not this one. After putting it together I filled the tank with distilled water, plugged it in and had steam. Now I feel like my kitchen floor is clean, I mean really clean. No residue from store cleaners. When we move from here, this steam mop stays with me even if I have to tape it to my body. Absolutely love it.

Pros: None that I can think.
Cons: Stripped the finish right off my floors.

I recently purchased the item and I thought from reading reviews, that this was exactly what I needed to make my life easier....wrong! It stripped the finish completely off my kitchen floor. After the first try, the floor looked dull, and very very streaky. My husband gave it a whirl and suggested I go really slow....he didn't do any better. The following day I tried it a third time, as well as my livingroom hardwood floors....no change. I ended up using a Wet Swiffer hoping that would make my floors look 'gleaming'...no luck. I got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed with Murphy's Oil Soap....no change.

I am returning the 'fantastic' product for a complete refund. Now I have to buy another floor product to try to get some shine back into my kitchen floors. Any suggestions?

Pros: Floors are sanitized, easy to use, no left-over chemical smells in the house!
Cons: Had to "towel dry", small tank meant I had to fill before each room.

I just tried my new Steam Mop and it is the best cleaning tool I own. My floors are squeaky clean and it was incredibly easy to use. We have vinyl floors in the kitchen and bath, and wood everywhere else. I did the whole house in about an hour, which included dry time. It left more water on the floor than I would like, but the outcome was worth drying it manually. I love the way the floors look and feel under my bare feet. Additionally, I am not worried about any chemical residues left behind that my pets might ingest. Great product!

Pros: Light weight, easy to use.
Cons: After 2 weeks. Haven't found any.

This mop is lightweight and easy to use. I was looking for something to replace my standard mop. And get hair spray build up off hard wood floors. Had to use a towel to remove the excess water. The Bissell Stick Steam Cleaner does what it advertises and much more.

Before replacing some old carpet in my dinning room. I test the Bissell Stick Steam Cleaner on an unknown stain. It looked like motor oil on the carpet. It looked as if the heat from the steam was melting butter. It came out so easily.


Now I am looking for a hand held model to clean tile walls in the bathroom.
