I LOVE this steam mop. I have TILE and WOOD floors throughout my house and they have been nearly impossible to keep clean (as evidenced by my kids' no-so-white sock bottoms). Anyway, I had been researching all of the various steam mops trying to find that "perfect" mop that would work miracles. I thought I had decided on one, but then (while flipping channels) saw the infomercial for this mop. It appeared to be EXACTLY what I was looking for. As with most infomercials, I was VERY skeptical that the product would REALLY do what it claimed to do. Luckily, I took the leap of faith, and purchased one from Amazon.com. I could not be happier with this mop. It REALLY does STEAM (alot) and get all of the gross built up dirt and grime off the floors. <br /> <br />I HATE cleaning floors! I'm more of a carpet person, so for me to say I love this product is absolutely amazing. I had a Hoover FloorMate (which I purchased 7 years ago), but it was ALOT of effort to clean up AFTER ... and it only had the brush scrubbers (so it didn't really WIPE the floors clean) AND it required the special Hoover cleaner (which I ruined mine by using Pine Sol ... which it specifically says not to use). Then I moved to the cheaper (although, not really after you buy all of the disposable pads and cleaner) Swiffer Wet Jet. It was ok for the quick clean-ups, IF my floor was already pretty much clean to begin with. But the Swiffer Wet Jet never CLEANED my floors. It was EXTREMELY frustrating to spend time and money cleaning and then STILL see the dirty sock bottoms (which meant the floors weren't really clean). <br /> <br />PLEASE NOTE: There are TWO (2) versions of the NEWER MODEL steam mop ... the PURPLE version has 2 heads (rectangle and triangle) with 5 PADS (2 rectangle, 2 triangle, 1 purple duster) and the SILVER/metallic version has 3 heads (XL rectangle, rectangle and triange) and 4 PADS (1 XL rectangle, 1 rectangle, 1 triangle, 1 purple duster). Both have the carpet glider. The XL kit, as well as extra PADS can all be purchased separately. I bought mine at Newegg. <br /> <br />The things I like about the Euro Pro Shark Steam Pocket Mop are ... <br />1. It has a LONG 30ft. cord so you are not constantly plugging and unplugging, <br />2. It has sturdy/thick microfiber washable/reusable TWO-SIDED pads, <br />3. It has a LARGE water tank, so you are not constantly re-filling the tank, <br />4. It has a SWIVEL head (3 different HEAD sizes/shapes) that FLIPS for two-sided cleaning, <br />5. It really STEAMS while cleaning and gets off the built on dirt, <br />6. It cleans WITHOUT any chemicals ... only tap water (I prefer using hot water), <br />7. It HEATS up quickly (under a minute ... although I usually let it heat for 5 minutes). <br /> <br />Things you should know ... <br />1. As with mopping, you need to vacuum or sweep BEFORE steam mopping (do this WHILE the mop is heating up). <br />2. Filling with hot water worked best for me. <br />3. PUMP/prime the mop about 10 times before you start mopping (this gets the STEAM really going). <br />4. Make sure you have AT LEAST 2 pads (4-sides of cleaning), especially if your floors are dirty. <br />5. Do NOT keep using the same pad side once it is dirty (so, check the bottom as you go) or your floors will not be cleaned and look streaky when they dry. <br />6. I don't *think* this mop actually gets hot enough to really sanitize (I'm not sure if any of them do), but I spray/squirt some vinegar on the floor as I go and mop over that and it seems to work. <br /> <br />Overall, I am VERY HAPPY with this mop!

I am now addicted to cleaning my floors. I am sure this is going to wear off — but wow — my floors have never been so clean. Even my hardwood floor in the living room has a shine to it.

The first cleaning took a while and there was a lot of grime lifted from the floors — you have to go slowly and give the steam a while to work. Don’t expect magic — you do have to go slowly the first time you clean. I think people who said their floors were streaked must have residue from previous products that are on the floor.

But once that’s over – you’ll find yourself easily cleaning the floors more often because it is really easy and convenient and gee– in a sick way — kind of fun. I love to hear the steam sound coming out of the machine.

But yes – I’m happy — it’s fast and it works. It’s easy to empty the tank and hang on a hook in the laundry room. The pads clean easily — I soak them in the utility tub with some detergent or throw them into the laundry.

One tank of water is enough for my entire downstairs plus there is a very long cord.

It’s plastic — that’s the drawback — but if I get a year out of this product – I’ll be happy cause this sure beats using a mop and bucket! I hate that I’m the one who gets stuck cleaning my house — but now — this makes the chore so much easier.

Is it “wrong” to be so happy over a cleaning product?
