This Shark Steam mop is a basic steam mop. It's easy to use. Pull of the reservoir and fill with clean water, plug in, pump the handle a few times and it's ready to go. Every time you push the mop forward it will release steam and when pulled back it won't. It really does a good job for a basic steam mop leaving my tile and hardwood floors streak free. I like the wider pad surface coverage. If a spot or stain does not come up with the first pass I just hold the mop on it for a second or two and it lifts it right up. I use this almost every day. I have 2 dogs and my hard wood floors get muddy every time they go outside. The one complaint I have is the same as with my other Shark Steam mop, the cord is too short. I have to unplug and more to different outlets in my house to get the job done.
This was a free product with my black Friday purchase. I have an old Shark Steam Mop which I have been using, so when this was a free option I was excited for an upgrade. This is a standard steam mop, nothing special to be honest. The cord is still too short for my liking. My old steam mop came with a plastic tray to place the head of the steam mop on when warming up or cooling down so it doesn’t rest on your floor and potentially ruin your floors. This new steam mop didn’t come with one, so I am forced to use my old plastic tray. The pumping of the handle is different as the older version didn’t have this, I honestly don’t care for that part. My old Shark has buttons to press when you want different steam settings which I prefer. I wish those settings would be on this newer, upgraded steam mop.
While I do like this mop and it does steam the house, I would rather a constant steam and not one that I have to repeatedly encourage by pushing down on the handle.
Have only used it twice. The head (steam end) is too wobbly. Moves around too much as I was pushing it and too long of an arm to get the steam to flow. I liked the original one I had, it was a shark too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
