Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea
Customer Review: Just right for what we wanted it for (maybe not for everyone though)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this along with the Ergorapido cordless vacuum as a one-two punch to get the darn place cleaner looking with less effort. The kitchen floor was looking messy routinely because of grass/mud that was brought in from the back yard and from dog food spills from the doggy bowls. Our big problem was dirt that was dried on and required me scrubbing at it with a mop with a bristle end on it. It was a royal pain, and so I wound up just not having the time to do it enough. This steam mop works great for this specific purpose. It makes it SO effortless to get the dried on bits off - just leave the head on top of the stain, hold down the steaming button on the handle for a few seconds and wipe away, repeat if necessary (pleasantly, this isn't often the case). I can clean all those darn messes in a few minutes with very little muscle power or having to carry buckets of dirty water back and forth. Not even any chemicals! It's really great!!
The limits to using this, though, are:
1) You really do need a sealed floor. From the first time you use it, you'll know why - it would be like soaking the surface in really, really hot water, even if it's for a brief time. If it's unsealed wood and you do this regularly, you can see how the wood could start to warp over time, possibly even get water-logged and rotting.
2) Most of our house is unsealed wood floors, so I limit using this to the bathrooms and kitchen. None of those rooms is particularly big, so I don't have any problems whatsoever with how long the cord is. Besides, if I had wanted to cover the entire house and had sealed floors, I'd have probably opted for the Monster steam mop since it looks much more sturdy (lots of metal parts instead of plastic). Since I don't need it to be that heavy-duty, I decided to save the money. I had also considered the Shark, but figured that the price difference wasn't that much, and there were lots of concerns about how sturdy that one was.
3) It's not exactly like mopping because you don't wring out the dirty water, you instead replace the sponge pad. So, to save having to keep replacing pads, I'd clean the less messy areas first, then tackle the really messy ones. Definitely don't plan on using this to clean a smelly area (like if there was dog pee) and then clean the rest of the room - you'll just spread the smell everywhere. If you have to pull this out a LOT, get extra pads so that you'll have time to launder a set while still being able to clean.

If you want CLEAN floors, this floor cleaner works really well. I did my standard "mop test". After mopping, I get a paper towel to see what dirt is still on the floor. Regular mops and swiffer products always leave dirt on the floor. The Bissell steam mop did not! It did leave the floor a little wet in some places, but part of that is probably user error. Yes, I'll admit, I probably just need practice, because the clean floor is certainly worth the learning curve. I really love the Bissell Steam Mop and the CLEAN floors it leaves in its wake!Customer Review: Would recommend.

I don't have hard wood floors but it works well on tile. I had a spot that I scrubbed and it did not come off. Kept the mop on there for a few extra second and it lifted it. Customer Review: Best mop -- EVER !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this mop on my tile and it is clearly the best mop ever! The steam powers out all of the dust and dirt in the porous tile leaving it absolutely sparkling clean. Couldn't be more pleased with this mop. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Just what I wanted!

I ordered the Bissell Steam mop in December of 2007. I use it primarily for sealed hardwood floors and am delighted with it. I used to wash and dry my oak floors by hand because any other method left a film and diminished the shine. The Bissell cleans, then dries to a perfect shine! I would recommend it to anyone for hardwood flooring.
