Shark S1000 Steam Mop with 2 Dirt Grip Pads, Lightweight, Safe for all Sealed Hard Floors like Tile, Hardwood, Stone, Laminate, Vinyl & More, Machine Washable, Removable Water Tank, White/Seafoam

I've had my Shark now for over two years and it's still going strong! I was honestly nervous after receiving my steam mop because it did feel a little flimsy. However, that being said...it would be tiring to use a heavy solid mop that holds added weight in water! We decided to go with the steam for several reasons but first, because my daughter suffers from severe allergies! This mop uses no cleaners and does a much better job than a traditional mop and bucket. I also liked the "green" factor of no cleaner and washable pads. I have washed and reused the cleaning pads too many times to count and not a single one of them is showing any signs of wear!! (not counting some staining of course) Also, one of my daughters accidentally dropped my Shark down the basement stairs and cracked the plastic housing...didn't effect the mop in the least. It feels no flimsier and hasn't worsened as I've continued using it...and it doesn't leak. It's plastic...I don't blame the mop for breaking when the same daughter dropped my cast iron pan down the same stairs and that also broke ;) We have finished hardwood floors, laminate floors, tiled floors, Allure floors and oiled pine floors...this mop works wonderfully on every one of them! I've used it to remove general dirt and grime, sticky nasties, wax, crayon, marker, paint, wood stove ash residue, unidentifiable kid & pet surprises and numerous food spills all with great success! I have recommended this mop several times and will do so several more times I'm sure! The only drawback, by the way, to steam mopping is during peak humid summer weather, although the added humidity during the dry winter months is great! ;)***UPDATE***Sadly my Shark pocket mop finally died :( It stopped making steam after 4 years! My super handy husband popped it open and removed one tiny little part and it worked again...but only for a couple more moppings. So...after four years of using the daylights out of it I am back to buy a new mop...just an FYI in those four years we have had 8 children, 2 adults, several animals and countless house guests traipsing in and out! I did the research...I read the reviews...I compared prices. For the money...I am buying another Shark Pocket Mop!Things I've learned...I originally bought the mop with several heads. I only used the rectangular one. I have an open floor plan so if you have tight spaces the triangular head may work better for you. I didn't use the carpet attachment either...with my daughter's allergies we got rid of all our carpeting...which means our entire house is bare, steam-moppable floors...this mop gets USED! Our house is not large...28x26, two and a half levels with moppable floors with a mostly open floor plan. The cord reached every area from one central outlet.**UPDATE** The cord on the new mop is shorter than the old one. I was disappointed, but it still mops the same...only now I have to move the plug to more than one outlet...not a deal-breaker for me** I also never had to buy replacement pads in the four years I've owned them! They are no longer white...but they still work beautifully! I occasionally tried the big purple fluffy pad that came with mine but I wasn't totally thrilled with it...maybe because it took longer to wet enough to clean with...admittedly I just want to get mopped and be done ASAP. If I came across an especially hard spot to get clean I simply (with shoes on!) stepped on the head and applied pressure and steam for several seconds and rarely had anything not come up...even cooled candle wax :) Most other mops don't look like you could step on the head without damaging it.By far my favorite feature is the reversible mopping surface! I mop half of one level (it actually could do more) then simply flip the mop over to mop the rest with the clean side! LOVE that! No changing scalding hot pads part way through a mop job or waiting for it to cool down enough to change it! I also got one level done on one tank of water with some left over :) AND...even though it said to use distilled water I never did....I used straight well water from the tap...and we have high iron in our water. I am most definitely a fan...especially for a price that's nearly half of many of the other steam mops out there!I am sorry that some other reviewers did not have the same experience I have had. I understand that this is an electronic appliance. My new one may have a manufacturing flaw that my old one didn't. You will get that with ANY electronic device...some will be flawless...others DOA. A definite pain, but for this mop, in my opinion...well worth the risk :) FOUR years...and 3 months to be exact! I totally got my money's worth!

Takes alittle while to steam but cleaned my floors so well when it did start! Works well. Not hard to use. Not many attachments. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to clean mop heads. Good power. It is NOT recommended but I do use this mop on my unsealed laminate flooring and so far there is no floor board water retention or discoloration. You do have to push alittle so maneuvering was alittle more difficult but still is worth the effort it takes for a deep clean. My floors looked so good after using.

Works well, good maneuverability and easy to install and definitely will use again. Lost a 1 star because there could be more improvement.Work time: Definitely quicker than a manual mop and bucket. I see a difference in the tile floor and maybe after another couple uses, it will get toSTEAM: It's like hot steaming industrial clothes iron with thick fabric pad . Steam was good.GRIP PAD: Grip pad got all dirt off and hair strands, it was easy to remove and replace and it easy to wash (easier than a mop head). I wish there was a special pad for sticky hard stains.CORNERS & TIGHT SPACES. I have another accessory to get the tight corners (I had to use a damp microfiber cloth to get those spots) .WATER TANK: I had to replace water in the tank three or four times when using high setting in about 4 rooms (If the tank any bigger, the design would be too bulky). I wish there was red light when water level low.

A very good value for the money. It cleans very well. It holds enough water to clean my entire home more than once. It is easy to use, and the steam pressure is not overpowering but enough. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical that a $50 steam cleaner would be any good. Many list for 4-5X that much. I was wrong, this heats fast, dispenses a good shot of steam and is ideal if you want to do a deep clean of hardwood floors once or twice a year. If you are constantly steaming a very large area, then you would likely want a heavier duty cleaner with a bigger water reservoir, etc. If you have a normal sized house and use it occasionally, this is a great deal. It's also fairly small to store when not being used. Overall for my purpose, it's the ideal tool.

Right at the time I needed a steam mop for the first time in my life, I saw this item. What was funny is apparently it was SO new that there were no reviews on it anywhere. I've heard good things about Shark over the years from friends, so I decided to give it a shot. I use a Dyson 5 Gen5 Detect for vacuuming carpet and laminate floors, but I was tired of my Swiffer and all the waste and chemicals it used.This thing was great right out of the box! It simply uses water, just plug it in, and set your steam setting! It steams up real fast and works exactly how it's supposed to. Simple, to the point, and does it well, all with nice design and materials without breaking the bank! The re-usable cloth is nice as well. No waste! I would definitely recommend this. :)
