Shark Steam Mop, Lightweight Steam Mop for Hard Floors, 375ml, S1000UK

Very quick and easy to assemble. The steam mop heats up and starts steaming very quickly, and is light and easy to use. The cleaning leaves no streaks and dries within a few minutes and the unit feels stable and quite durable. Some people complain that there isn't a power switch (it switches on as soon as you plug it in and switches off as soon as you unplug it) and no button to press to activate the extra steam, but these are non-issues for me. I would prefer a power switch, but the current setup works fine for me as I don't intend on having it plugged in if I'm not using it anyway and regarding the action to release extra steam, you have to press the handle downwards and release. This is a natural movement when pushing and pulling the mop to clean anyway, so you are releasing extra steam with every stroke and not having to press any buttons in order to do so. If there was a button to activate the extra steam, I would probably have it on all the time anyway so the exclusion of one is one less thing to break. I purchased these when they we're on sale, and the price was so reasonable that I bought 2 of them, gifting one to my mother as she has been considering getting one to clean her kitchen floor with - she really likes using it and completely agrees with me that a power switch and button for steam release are not essentials and the lack of them doesn't detract from the functionality of the mop at all. The water tank for it holds enough for me to comfortably mop my kitchen, front room, small front door entryway and bathroom on one fill with plenty to spare - I live in a 2 bedroom house of average size, so if you have many floors to do you may need to fill it part-way through, but that is very quick to do and the mop heats up again ready to use in mere seconds. Please note, this is a mop and will function just like any mop will, electric or not - it will not pickup debris on your floors and will spread/move it around, so you have to make sure you have swept or vacuumed you floors before using this to clean your floors. Sure, there may be other mops that have more features and/or are cheaper, but I think this one serves its purpose very well and I have no real complaints or issues. If you don't have a steam mop, get one, even if it's not this model - your back and your older self will greatly thank you for it.

Cleans my hard floors quickly and easily. No bending or heavy lifting needed, and minimal sweeping motion is all I have to do. The steam is gentle but very effective, and just the right amount comes out. I have had other steam mops that keak and soak the floor with huge bursts of steam, but that doesn't happen with this one, and my floors were dry in a couple of minutes. The whole thing was easy to put together just clicking the handle in place, and the pads are a generous size. Unfortunately you two come with the mop, so another purchase of more pads will probably be needed. The water tank holds a good amount, so doesnt need filling frequently, and there's easily enough to do my whole house.

Easy to use, adequate steriliser for suitable floors and as a deep cleaner, providing it's used regularly. On excess dirty floors the pad isn't sufficently absorbent.

easy to use and light. cleans well, and is great for people with copd or allergy to perfumes in cleaning products as you just use water. dries a lot quicker than using a sponge mop

Easy to use, lightweight and does the job

It was o-k It heated up quickly but the pumping action became very annoying after a while, I’ve used other steam mops and without having to pump it makes life a lot easier. It wasn’t very good on hard stubborn stains, the cord length was ok but could have been longer. The whole thing was very easy to put together and use, but honestly I don’t feel like it did a good enough job to effectively get stains off tiled floors. It did however dry very quickly which was a plus, but I will be buying another different brand that is much more efficient and effective, with quicker results

Surprised and delighted with this. Always used a traditional mop and bucket which left the floor wet for ages. We have two dogs and one that is old an frequently pees on the floor so this has taken a lot of hassle out of mopping the floors. We have a mixture of Lino, karndean and wooden floors and it does them all effortlessly

I bought this to replace a faulty Vax S86-SF-CC Steam Fresh Combi Classic Multifunction Steam Mop bought 6 months ago. See my review for that item. Pros...lightweight, easy to use and assemble. The pad sticks well to the unit, Filling it was easy. It is just a mop, with no fancy gizmos and it does work. It arrived this morning and i used it straight away. The hooks for cable storage are higher up on this machine but despite this it is more stable and less likely to fall over. There is less cable hence less weight at the top. It does mean less bending over to wind up the cable. All the controls on the Vax are quite low down and means bending down, which, being disabled make it more difficult. On this there are no controls so no bending. The cable is less stiff than the Vax which means less of a fight when using it. The head is not so high which means it gets under appliances a bit more and being rectangular does the corners a bit better. The handle will swivel 90 deg so you can use it sideways and therefore get into spaces of about 5". The push pull action is is light and it is no effort to use and there is no trigger to pull. Cons...The steam outlet is central in the pad meaning the edges (sides) of the pad don't get wet. The front and back do get wet so it took a little longer to do the floor than with the Vax but the result was just as good. I though this was better on my laminate floor since it was less wet and therefore was quicker to dry, but not so good on the tiled floor where the grout lines didn't get as wet. There is no 'ready' light and it took a minute or two to generate steam whereas the Vax is almost immediate. There is no on/off switch. The cable is ridiculously short but that can be addressed with an extension lead so no real problem. I prefer this to the Vax as it is easier to use. Hopefully it wall last longer.

This was a replacement for a B&D steam mop- which I was happy with until it died 2 years into our relationship and, of course, just as I had purchased a bunch of replacement scrubber pads. This mop is different as it heats the water but steam is created by your own back and forth motion which forms the pressure to provide the steam. I know it sounds suspect on many levels but I can say it works and I do think this basic design should outlast the B&D mop. On the plus side the power cord is a reasonable length so no more extension cords and the B&D scrub pads fit almost seamlessly so no loss there- in fact I prefer them to the scrub pads that came with this mop. Lastly, I really like that this mop stands perfectly vertical when not in use and the cord winds up neatly on the handle. This makes it much nicer to store, no flopping around in a corner with a dangling power cord.

Attention, prise anglaise ! Et il faut pomper pour avoir de la pression, peu pratique Mais fonctionne très bien

No complaints. Does what I need it for. Easy to operate.

I'm delighted with it. The floor dries really quickly and it really cleans my floors,

I always look at the bad reviews first and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to all the 5 star reviews. But it's amazing. So easy and so efficient. Way better than mopping. I live in aus so had to buy an adapter but apart from that I couldn't recommend this enough!
