Why is the trigger so small? I swear I've gotten a blister from trying to keep the trigger pressed while cleaning my floors. The trigger should be like the crosswave's trigger. I like the steamer but the trigger makes it really hard to use for a long period of time.

Overall, I found the power fresh to be effective. I had hoped that the steam would be a little bit stronger than it is, but overall it’s done a good job.

The reservoir could be bigger. Mopped a small area and had to refill a couple times. Tried it on furniture and found no difference. Tried it on carpet pet soiled spots, used black light a few days later. Spots still visible.

Hi Jay, thanks for sharing your experience with the PowerFresh® Slim 3‑in‑1. We’re sorry the water tank felt too small and that you didn’t see results on furniture or carpet spots. Steam can sometimes require multiple slow passes, especially on tougher messes, and we’d be happy to walk through tips to get better cleaning power. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com so we can help.

I've always wet mopped my floors and thought a steam cleaner would get them cleaner based on what I read. I was very disappointed. The tool went together easily enough and was simple to operate. It hardly seemed to dampen the floors and the steam wasn't that much. I have matte tiled floors and the steam cleaner just didn't get them clean no matter how many times I passed the mop over. I found it annoying that I had to keep the steam button pressed to get steam. Even with a 25 foot cord it was still a chore replugging it in around my large open space. I returned the cleaner as it just didn't achieve what I wanted.

Hi Jackie, we’re sorry the PowerFresh® Slim didn’t deliver the clean you were expecting on your tile floors. Steam machines lightly dampen and sanitize rather than fully wet mop, and results can vary by surface. We appreciate your feedback, and our BISSELL team can help recommend a better fit for your needs at support.bissell.com.
