The water tank looked really small, but to my surprise, I was able to do my whole house and it didn't even use up half the tank. The swivel head did do a great job of going around corners and hugging the edges of walls and counters and everything. I did find it annoying that if there was a speck of anything on the floor that wasn't vacuumed, it'd just push it around. If I were to buy again, I'd probably look into a vac and steam in one just for that reason alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350725 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:59:04 +0000 erwoo 350725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Which Haan steam mop do you have? Would you recommend that over the Eureka one after having used both? We have hardwood throughout and I would like to also use it on an area carpet rug in the family room from time-to-time. Do you know if either one of them is capable of steaming carpet as well? I know the yellow Haan has that feature; but I'm looking at the lighter, newer ones (SI-70). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350724 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:58:51 +0000 Cupcake 350724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a shark pocket, and I love it! I also scrub the floors once a month though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350723 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:58:40 +0000 regberadaisy 350723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I'm anal like that. What I do is I vacuum the floor before hand (mine's not the vacuum and steam model) then I use the shark. But what the steam mop does is it pushes everything around. So sometimes the corners and wall edges can get a little grimy so you still have to wipe those down.</p> <p>The steam mop does do a great job of getting rid of oily kitchen floors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350721 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:55:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 350721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Awww do you really? I was hoping to avoid that all together! Call me lazy...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350719 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:54:04 +0000 regberadaisy 350719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Shark and loooove it!!!!</p> <p>@MrsBrewer: I still get on my hands and knees and scrub the floors once a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350474 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:57:07 +0000 shopaholic 350474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>II have the purple &amp; silver Shark Steam Mop w/3 settings. It was a gift, but I LOVe it! We have all harwood floors. Regarding the floor issue, I don't use it too often and don't stay over one area too long. It dries almost instantly (maybe Cali dryness?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350473 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:56:00 +0000 betsyboop 350473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use the Haan and love it! It's very compact and easy to move from room to room, which makes it so convenient to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350471 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:55:57 +0000 MrsBrewer 350471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: That's why I'm trying to get a steam mop! I am sooo close to being chemical free in our kitchen, (except for dish soap, which I use Seventh Generation) but I still use Mr Clean on our floors, and I'm trying to get away from it! So since it says that steam mops kill 99.9% of bacteria I'm all for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350467 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:54:10 +0000 meredithNYC 350467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: I had heard the same thing so have been holding off on purchasing one. For now I just go old school with my mop and Pine Sol, but I would love to use less chemicals in my cleaning routine, particularly for when LO starts crawling and getting more mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350335 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:50:59 +0000 BoogieBea 350335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a shark and it just broke down after two years. I'm not sure I'm going to replace is because I question if steam mopping is good for hardwood floors now. I've read many reviews online that said they are not good even for sealed hardwood floors. It was convenient and I really liked it when it was working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350332 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:50:09 +0000 chopsuey 350332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Shark Vac and Steam mop. LOVE IT! It's so convenient that it vacuums and steams my floors :)It's super lightweight too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350235 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 350235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: it was heavier, bigger, but seemed to do a better job of getting dirt and grime. maybe hotter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350222 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:21:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 350222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: When you say that it worked better, how so? Better at getting dirt and grime off the floor or just easier to use all around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350219 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:20:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 350219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had the eureka one and it worked better than the haan, but it broke down after a year. :(</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-Enviro-Hard-Surface-Steamer-313A/dp/B001LYFBHG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1350663655&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=steam+mop" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Eureka-Enviro-Hard-Surface-Steamer-313A/dp/B001LYFBHG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1350663655&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=steam+mop</a></p> <p>no problems with the haan so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350174 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:03:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 350174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Let me know how it works!

We use it multiple times a week (although I still do the floors by hand sometimes, too). I don't know how much it was since it was a Christmas present from my parents, but it looks like it's under $100 on Amazon and BBB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350071 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:32:46 +0000 MrsBrewer 350071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was torn between this one and the Shark Professional,,,something or other, and it was actaully cheaper than this Hoover one. I also looked at the Haan, but I couldn't find too much info on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350055 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:28:42 +0000 prettylizy 350055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an H2O steam mop, it's okay, but I want to upgrade to the shark soon. Maybe for Christmas? Dare to dream ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350053 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:28:23 +0000 HLK208 350053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like mine--I have the Shark vac and steam. I have mostly hardwood floors and tile though. It was $120 at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It doesn't do a super thorough job so I still mop the floors by hand every now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350041 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:25:48 +0000 Alivoo01 350041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also on the lookout for a steam mop! I think @Mrs Bee posted that she loves her Haan steam mop so I'm keeping my eye out for that one. However, I'm all ears for other awesome steam mops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/steam-mop#post-350030 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:22:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 350030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I think I want a steam mop for Christmas!! hahaha I can tell that I'm getting old when I'm starting to get excited to recieve something for cleaning as a gift....oh well it's practical!</p> <p>Does anyone have any reccomendations?
