What a Waste
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: Weaverde
I received this product when I purchased another larger product (carpet shampoo machine). While it did sway me at the time to make that purchase (I was already in the market for a carpet cleaner), I would not repeat the purchase. The steamer I had from shark worked great but it is no longer available neither are the pads, or I would still be using it.
This is a great let down for a shark product. And because I have used and liked shark for a long time, I went ahead and bought two extra mop heads so that I always had one available. Now it looks like I totally wasted that money. Here's why:
1. there is no on/off button
2. there is no ability to have a built in cleaning product (like my old one)
3. in order to get steam you have to pump the handle... so you pump the handle, it steams for a little bit, then you have to pump the handle again...and again...and again.
4. there is no way to determine the amount of steam you want (like the old one) It seem like, although I could be wrong, when you stop to pump it, if you pump it several times you will get a fuller amount of steam coming out.
5. it has a much smaller water reservoir, so you have to continually stop to refill it for bigger jobs.
6. it has a much smaller length of cord, so for doing big jobs you are forced to relocate the plug more frequently.

No. There is not one good thing that I can say about this machine, except I will have to look elsewhere for my next steamer if this is the kind of junk that Shark is going to put out.
I wholeheartedly do NOT recommend this machine to anyone. If I could give it 5 negative stars I would. Just keep looking!

Works wonderfully

I've had this for several months. Got it as a promotion when I purchased my new vacuum! I must say that for large areas you need several pads because they pick up A LOT of dirt!!!! I do love it. Mostly use it in my smaller rooms and for spot cleaning but it's amazing! The cord is not as long as i would like but nothing else bad to say!
I would recommend this to a friend!

the water tank is EXTREMELY hard to get off. I have tried by myself and cannot get it off. it is useless if I cannot take off myself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my 3rd Shark Steam Mop, 1st I LOVE that it is light and the pads are fantastic! As always the shark does a fabulous job! I have two complaints: 1. the water tank is almost impossible to remove, am I just supposed to yank it off? I feel like I am going to break the tab that holds it on, is there a trick to getting to to come off? 2. I REALLY have to pump it a LOT to get the steam going and to keep it steaming while I am using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No Steam

So disappointed with the level of steam that generate. I had the Shark Professional light wait and that was 10 times better. This is such a disappointment.

So Disappointed!
on November 11, 2025
Posted by: Tjambga

Having owned various other models of Shark steam mops, I was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED with this one. This particular steam mop, by far, was the worst steam mop I’ve ever owned. Having to pump down for steam was more physical effort with little to no steam as a result. The reservoir was very small considering how many times you had to make the mop steam. The cord seemed shorter than most which added more aggravation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
