Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with 1300 watts of power, this environmentally friendly steam cleaner offers a chemical-free way to clean and sanitize throughout the house. It removes mold, mildew, fungus, difficult stains, and stubborn grease and grime using pure and natural, penetrating, pressurized steam, easily taking on the toughest cleaning chores--everything from tile floors, showers, and sinks to garments and upholstery to the inside of the refrigerator and oven, even baked-on grills. Steam cleaning not only removes debris quickly and thoroughly, providing a clean, nontoxic environment for pets and kids, it also eliminates odors, kills and controls allergens, and saves money on cleaning supplies--no more floor polisher, glass sparkler, oven cleaner, mold buster, tile blaster, or protective rubber gloves needed. The lightweight, portable steamer heats up in just 30 seconds, and its 13-ounce water tank uses regular tap water and can be refilled at any time for continuous steam. The versatile unit provides three modes of operation, converting easily from an upright steam mop to a handheld steam cleaner to a fabric steamer. As an upright floor mop, it works great on a variety of hard-floor surfaces including tile, vinyl, and sealed hardwood--it even helps freshen carpet. Remove the long handle and it functions as a handheld steamer--great for almost every surface in the bathroom and kitchen. Use it to sanitize children's toys and pet accessories, as well, without chemical residue. As a fabric steamer, it removes wrinkles from shirts and blouses, faster and more gently than ironing. Variable steam control provides added convenience, delivering just the right amount of steam for the job. Accessories include a jet nozzle, a short nylon utility brush, a long nylon brush, a brass utility brush, a mop head, a large cloth cover, and a utility head for fabric steaming and squeegee cleaning windows and mirrors, as well as a small cloth cover, a measuring cup, an extension pole, a squeegee, boiler cleaning powder, and a cleaning pin. The ETL-listed steamer measures 11-4/5 by 4 by 4-5/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews
First Impression- It's okay
It's easy to assemble. However, the pole/handle has the option to lengthen or shorten and mine was stuck. I almost sent it back, because when I pulled on it, it seemed like it was going to break. Eventually, it came out, though. Just be aware that it should get longer if you need it to.
I did the kitchen floor last night. I wasn't "amazed" by the amount of dirt it picked up. It didn't pick up years of mud and grime, or change the color of my floor or anything! In fact, I will probably re-use the cloth provided once more before I wash it. But the floors really feel clean today, so I'm happy with the results. And- NO SOAP or CHEMICALS!
I'm interested to see how the handheld steamer works on showers and corners and the like. I chose this steamer over all others because it DID include both the floor mop and the handheld option, so I hope I made the right decision!
The overall "FEEL" of the product is definitely reminiscent of infomercial quality... it just doesn't feel like a Bissel or other household name would. But I'm willing to give it 30 days to prove itself to me. I'll update this as I've used it more!
UPDATE: I used it over the weekend on medium-high to steam clean the glass shower door and frame in the house I just purchased. I cannot tell you how many years of mildew and mold and funk this thing blasted away from the frame of this door! I spent probably 2 hours cleaning the shower that day because I couldn't believe how much of that stuff was built up in there. So it definitely earned it's place in our house for that reason.
The clothes steamer attachment, which also houses the squeegee attachment, seem to leak down my arm while I am trying to work, which is pretty annoying. And to do the shower job, I went through probably 15 paper towels (too icky for a regular towel) and 1 hand towel for wiping up the wetness.
Bottom line- It's not the greatest product in the world, but I've found some very valid uses for this. No other brand right now offers the hand steamer/mop combo, and I think it is worth the money to have both options available and only one small product to store.
Best Thing I Ever Bought!!!
This is the best product that I ever bought. The mop is wonderful and works extremely well. The pads could be thicker so I went out and bought a thick hand towel and cut it to fit. Now it's perfect. I also love the hand steamer. I use it in the bathroom around the toliet and when my kids spilled sticky stuff in the fridge and didn't wipe it up (of course!) I used the hand steamer and it came right off in two seconds! A must have if you have children!!
Satisfied...
I am new to the steaming world, but this product has been good to me so far (2 tries into in). I read a lot reviews in Amazon for the predecessor of this (SF-290) and they were all around good. I am not sure if there were any improvements with SF-292 though.
I was tempted to get the Bissell, but this one had more versatility for use. It was a bit cheaper too. I love how I can clean pretty much anything now - shower door, steam clothes, grimy spots. Even if it doesn't take out any messiness itself, it loosens it to the point it's easy to wipe off without laborous scrubbing. And pretty easy to use - heats up fast, easy to assemble.
Same complaints as others though - cord is short, have to refill water after about 2 rooms.
Overall, pretty satisfied with this product and my money's worth.
p.s. per another poster, you can replace the pads with Bissell 3255 Steam Mop Microfiber Pad Replacements. Or any microfiber towel can do.
