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.
The water container is hard to get off. I need to wait till my husband is home to refill because I can't get it off :( Cord is still too short.

Hi Kat,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it must be to struggle with removing the water container and dealing with a cord that feels too short. Your feedback is very important to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
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.

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.

Your comments about the pumping mechanism, steam output, reservoir size, and cord length are very important to us. We’ll make sure to share this with our product development team for future improvements. Kind Regards, Shark Clean
Outstanding steam mop! Works very well ; easy to use. Low maintenance A+++ Highly recommend as a superb cleaning tool. Well designed and made Shark product.
I love this mop. It does a great job of getting stuck on food off the floor. Lightweight and easy to store. I have bought 5 of these for our house and our kid's as well.
