Swiffer Steam Boost Powered By Bissell
on May 13, 2013
Posted by: Jamie A
from NC
This product is really nice. My neighbor has a steam cleaner and this product works just as well. There are two disadvantage I can see is that the handle needs to be longer, and that the pads are not washable like other steam cleaners. I would recommend this product to anyone. It works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Swiffer Steamboost Powered by Bissell Review
on May 11, 2013
Posted by: Bridgette O

I was sent a Swiffer Steamboost Powered by Bissell in exchange for my review. The Swiffer Steamboost Powered by Bissell is very easy to set up. You can have it set up in a matter of minutes. The refill pads are easy to attach. Once plugged into the wall you can proceed to clean floors with it. I have wood and tile flooring. It glides easily over tiles, however, it doesn't want to pick up stuck on dirt. I then tried it on my wooden floors and it worked much better on it, picking up the dirt very well. It takes at least 2 pads per room (more for larger rooms) though and a refill pack only has 20. I like that you can hold down the steam release button to continuously release steam which helps pick up dirt and grime. I would recommend this for wood flooring and if you are in need of a steam cleaner for your flooring. Beware of the need to refill cloths often.

Great Steamer needs better pads
on May 11, 2013
Posted by: Teresa M
from NY
First of all, I am a tough critic of floor cleaners because I have bought and tried them all!
The pros:
-the steamer works, I can SEE steam coming from the unit when it is on
-it's a light weight machine with a good swivel to the head and can reach narrow spaces like the areas between the wall and my area rug
-the refill pads have a very clean and nice scent which is not too chemically or overpowering, it just smells clean.
-minor thing but I like it... the cap to the water tank is tethered to the tank so you can't put it down and misplace it.
-the indicator light is at the head of the unit which makes it actually kind of like a headlight which is nice when mopping a dark corner like behind the toilet

Ok now the cons:
-the water tank is a little small, I have to refill it once while doing my floors, not a big deal but I don't see why it can't be a little larger, longer maybe instead of wider would be good.
-the indicator light comes on almost immediately but it does seem to take a minute for the steam to fully be ready. It seems like it's just timed to come on in 30 seconds instead of actually linked to the thermostat
- the pads are not good.... they are way too thin. I have bamboo hardwood, they are pretty flat and even but since there is not much padding to the actual pad and the surface of the steamer is pretty hard, if we hit a little bump the pad isn't thick enough to fill up the space and clean, it just kind of goes clear over that section of floor and therefore I have to come at it at a different angle.
-the pads also don't have a scrubby strip so if there need to be any scrubbing, I have to get down and do it by hand.
-the pad needs to be changed before I am done cleaning, it gets dried out pretty fast.
-the cleaning solution on the pads dries a little streaky which surprised me because all of my other Swiffers don't do this.

Overall, I think this product is just OK. I would say that having tried it I would still stick to my regular routine. I WOULD continue to use the steamer in the bathrooms as I think it's disinfecting quality is good and the size of the head fits nicely into small spaces. I don't notice the streaking on the tile floors, just on the hardwood.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this review.

Swiffer SteamBoost Review
on May 11, 2013
Posted by: Kegen S
from CA
While first opening the Steam Mop, I was quite impressed. Comparing it to others that I have both seen and used, it looked lighter and smaller and altogether easier to use. When first using the Steam Mop on my lanoleum floors, I did not see much of a difference, but then again, I do have a wood design. But, once I flip the pad over and look at it, and it definitely has done some cleaning. To be truthfully honest, there were only a couple gripes to the Steam Mop that I had. One being that the water reservoir was difficult to fill because I could not fit the whole mop into my sink!! Had to wiggle it around and stuff, but I eventually got water in the reservoir, I just couldn't fill it all the way up. And the second gripe is about where the handle meets up with the head of the mop. When you pull the mop towards you, the front of the mop head seems to lift up. This causes the back of the steam pad to collect the majority of the dirt and grim and leave the front rather clean. In conclusion, I felt that this Steam Mop was fantastic. Easy and quick to set-up and even easier to use. Definitely would recommend to others.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Swiffer Steamboost Powered by Bissell is so awesome!!!
on April 24, 2013
Posted by: Bobbie S
from KY
I have to say I was so totally surprised by the Swiffer Steamboost. I've tried another steam mop (brand name I will leave out) and was not very happy with it, but the Swiffer SteamBoost ROCKS!!! It is very lightweight, easy to handle, and cleans very well. I love the idea of using disposable pads, instead of the kind you can wash. I love that when I try to get around the toilet in the bathroom, that the head on the SteamBoost moves so I can can beside it, it is a very little spot to try to get into. I love that it has the indicator light to let you know it's heated up and ready to go. Unlike the other kind I used before, the Swiffer SteamBoost, does not send out a loud sound from all the steam, in fact you know it's on and working, but so very quiet...love that!!! My floors looked cleaned, and smelled so very good afterwards too. Love that the cleaning pads have a smell that the steam triggers!!! This product is totally awesome!! The only thing that I wish it had was a plastic measuring cup and funnel, I did use a measuring cup from the house, but luckily I had a funnel that I use for cooking here, without the funnel, I would be afraid it would spill down the front of the Swiffer SteamBoost. Maybe in the future you could add these, or maybe design something that you can just pull out to put water into it, because having to turn it upside down to get all of the water out too isn't a good thing either. But like I said all in all this product was a GREAT product, and I would highly recommend it to all of my friends and family

The steam is a fabulous addition to Swiffer
on April 22, 2013
Posted by: Donna G
from CA
I haven't had a Swiffer since I had the wet mop back in 2007. This new product works well with the addition of the steam. The only issue I had was that the steam does not continuously come out, and every time I pressed in on the steam button, it felt like it was going to break so I watched how hard I pressed. The steam did help get out some dried on stains on my hardwood floors in the kitchen. I just held the mop part over them while pressing the steam a few times. That saved me a lot of elbow grease! The nice thing is that I don't need to lean forward to mop like with my current mop. I can stand upright and not have a sore back after I finish cleaning the floor. The pads seem to work well, but I went through two of them cleaning my kitchen and dining room hardwood floors. They do seem to dry out a little too soon. It would be nice to have a wet jet on this product. Again, the steam is the thing that sets this apart from the regular wet Swiffer cleaning products. Thank you for the opportunity to review this product. I hope I can review more products for you in the future and help you to create products that everyone will love!

Less Scrubbing
on April 25, 2013
Posted by: Sylvia C
from CA
First off, A BIG THANK YOU! To Swiffer for allowing my to try this out on my floors. I thought it was really cool that the Swiffer Steamboost came with a little container that only needed water; I was worried that I would need a special solution, but that comes in the cleaning wipes that attach at the bottom. I loved that from the time I plugged it in 30 seconds later it was good to go! I have 2 boys under the age of 5 and an older brother with special needs; they all make a mess on the kitchen floor so I hate to scrub floors, but with the STEAMBOOST all I had to do was push the trigger a little longer on the hard spots and then wipe away. I hardly had to scrub anything! It left my floors clean, sanitized, and smelling fresh; plus, it dried quickly. I never thought I would want to use something like this especially after I used the regular swiffer wet (Remember, I hate to scrub), but I have changed my mind thanks to the steam! Thanks again swiffer! I'm a believer again!
