I think I want one.... but I don't know..... Are they any good? What sort of features should I look out for?

I have a Shark vac and steam mop and love it. When I'm ready to upgrade, I'd probably get just a dedicated steam mop and one that got into corners better. My whole house is tile, and nothing gets my floors cleaner than my shark. Literally squeaky clean. I love it!

My mom has one, which I've used (we lived with her for a while recently), and honestly I didn't love it. It was really hard to push, and I didn't feel like it got any cleaner than my spray mop that I use. Maybe if it'd had been on tile instead of wood, the friction would have been less so it wouldn't have been such a workout? (It wasn't heavy, it just really didn't want to move from the friction.)

I have a shark and don't feel it cleans well. I prefer a swiffer with a washcloth and vinegar/ water.

@Cherrybee: oh we have been considering one too! Same reason, I'm sure But it sounds like it might not be so great on wood?
@Beyond2: so you just put a washcloth on the swifter wand? How do you use te water vinegar- spray bottle?

I like my shark steam mop! It gets my wood and tile floors clean! I use the highest steam setting and everything comes out pretty well. I like that it's just water and nothing else!

I have a shark and we use it on wood and tile and love it. I do use a wood polish/cleaner on our hardwood as it doesn't make them shine. It gets up grubby toddler sticky things, dog slobber and husband dirt.

I have one and I love it! We just use water and the floors get so clean with no residue or streaks!

@Foodnerd81: Yup I use a thin washcloth on the swiffer and just spray the floor with the vinegar in a spray bottle as I go. It does a better job than my shark in my opinion.

@Beyond2: Bonus-- I already have all of the items listed. My Swiffer Wet Jet ran out of the cleaning solution so I've been doing a really makeshift job with the wet jet disposable pad and a water/vinegar solution in a leftover peri bottle from the hospital. I am so classy.

Ooh I want to look into getting one too. Sounds like a few people have a shark. @Mrs. Lion: what brand do you have?

I have a shark (got it on Black Friday) I like it- but don't love it. I don't reach for it as much I do my spray mop

@Mrs. Lion: thanks! I was just looking at a Bissell one on Amazon, those look good too!

Thanks for the replies, people!
It sounds like they're not the life changing solution I'm looking for..... ?? But I want things to be more.... clean, y'know?! Hmm....

Mine was definitely life changing. I hated mopping the floors before our steam mop. Then I got a shark and it changed my world!!!! We have a dog, and he is drooly and drippy and gross. Our shark gets off ALL his grossness so incredibly easy. Including on the walls from his sneezes. I could not live without my shark!

We have an Electrolux JetMaxx Steam mop...love it! It has different settings for tile, laminate, and hardwood.

@Cherrybee: it was life changing for me! I had tried everything and it is the only solution I have been happy with!

@Beyond2: I think I'm going to try that. Our second Shark died on us. I use vinegar + water on everything else! How do you get the cloth to stay on the swiffer? I think we have a old one laying around...

I love my Shark steam mop, I think it makes my floors so clean in the kitchen.

The haan steamer is probably one of the best out there .... you should look for ones that actually get to boiling point, not just hot water that the machine pumps into steam. So that it's sanitizing.
