I steam cleaned the entire kitchen and it worked well. I filled the tank a second time to do the hallway, but this time, even though the indicator light was on, it would not allow me to switch to a steam level. Please advise on that. Also, there was no carpet attachment in the box, which leads me to believe it was a used return.

I bought this steamer to clean my tile and laminate floors. I was using the BONA system before which was also great but it is so nice not to have to keep running back and forth to the laundry room. Heats up quickly, does a beautiful job of cleaning the floors and the grout lines. So happy I got this.

i used this for almost 6 mos. and it did a pretty good job, but just stopped working in the middle of the room one day. Unfortunately i was unable to find my receipt, so I'm out of luck getting it fixed and out of the money it cost. I have 4 extra pads and fragrance disc, but i will not buy another one because it may just stop working also.

I just received my steam mop and decided to wash the floor even though I had just washed it 2 days ago. What a shock- the mop head was very dirty after doing a small area. I had been using Swiffer and changing to a clean pad frequently so I wouldn't be rubbing dirt over the floor. Our 3 bedroom home is completely ceramic tiled- I would use about 8 Swiffer pads to complete the job- $$$. The Bissel Power Fresh Steam Mop was a breeze to assemble- 1 screw. Directions were clear, except it didn't state how long the mop should be applied to actually sanitize an area. The mop looks sturdy and well made. No wet puddles were left even though I used the highest steam setting and the damp floor dried quickly. The mop moved easily over the tile.

Just received my PowerFresh Steam Mop the other day so today was the first time I had used it. I started with the tile floor in my bathroom. Man, was I impressed. It cleaned right up to the walls and went all under the sink and other areas. Love that swivel feature. Then I headed to the kitchen which is another tile floor. I started going with mop and it just glided to all the areas along the edges and began to clean places that I have been unable to clean because it would require getting down on my hands and knees. Just can't do that anymore. I came all around the cabinets and the mop just hugged the places under the cabinet edges and just was AMAZING!. After I came back around to the beginning I thought, "let's see what it will do in the dining room." This dining room floor has certainly seen its better days but I began. I did notice a difficulty in moving on this floor than with the tile. However, I wasn't to be swayed. I thought I will just turn around and pull it back toward me. Low and behold that was the 'trick'. It began to do some really good cleaning on the 'old' floor. I noticed how good of a job it did when I did the hearth in front of my fireplace. Then I was through. Boy, was that pad filthy! One may think they have gotten their floors clean but the pad tells the tale. Now I have an idea for what I shall do next. Since it is truly Spring it is time to put out the cushions on the outdoor furniture. The porch will need to be swept and cleaned. So, since I have a nice new front porch I am going to use my Steam Mop on the front porch. I thought this will really make it SPARKLE! My only complaint is why didn't I order this much sooner. Thanks for the simple guide to putting it together and also for the additional pad and the two discs. I will try the discs but they will be too expensive to keep refilling probably. I am excited to discover that the on/off switch for the Steam Mop isn't really necessary if the button is selected the 4th time. Then it just sorta 'rests' while I am moving something so that I can mop in that place. I believe that this Steam Mop will truly be a life saver and I can hardly wait to try it on one of the lower levels to see how it does. I used the highest because I wanted to see the mop in ACTION. Sure there was a bit of extra water but on high and the floors really needing a good cleaning I didn't mind. Matter of fact, as I write this note...the floors are already dry. Now that is AWESOME!

I love my steam mop. It does what it is supposed to do, but don't fool yourself, you have to vacuum the floor to catch the dust and the hair first. I only use distilled water, always empty the extra water left in the tank after I'm done, always remove the pad to wash it and dry it.... in short I've been taking good care of it and it lasted so far almost 2 years. The little brush in the back is useless. I can't find the scent discs anywhere! Bummer!

Okay first, I am NOT a paid review person for Bissel. I purchased these products based on my needs. I needed something quick and easy to use. I first purchased the Bissel 3 in 1 Turbo booster Vacuum. Love it. But will post that review on that product. I had an old H20 Steam mop that I loved, but took it and left it at a place I regularly clean, so I needed a now steam mop. From reading comparisions and reviews, I chose the Bissel Powerfresh 1940 Steam Mop. It was very easy to assemble. Now ready to clean. I vacuumed and steam cleaned 3 rooms in record time. First I shook out my rugs and quickly vacuumed with my 3 in 1 Turbo, now for the steam cleaning. Plugged in my steam mop. Didn't take too long to heat. I used the middle steam setting. Yes, it left a little water on the floor, but so does a mop and bucket water. It cleaned up my hairspray spots with ease. Maneuvered well around the toilet and shower area. It worked so fast and well, I went on to clean another bathroom and the Kitchen floor. (All while the baby was taking a cat nap). In the Kitchen, I loved how it swiveled around in the corners and around the chairs with ease. When used with the sweeper, I was able to clean all 3 rooms in less than 30 minutes. I did not move and do under the kitchen table. But was able to clean and disinfect the main area. I used the fragrance disk, it did not have a powerful smell. Purchasing these same products for my daughter who has 3 toddlers. I used it on Ceramic Tile floor and Linoleum Floor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had several steam mops over the years and none have cleaned like this one. I had mopped my floors several days before but when the mop came, I decided to give it a whirl. I was shocked at how dirty the mop pad was. It wasn't just dirty, it was gross. I'm glad I made the purchase. I wish it came with more attachments!

I love this machine. I have tried several and while they clean okay, this one cleans better. AND the others I've tried took me four (4) tries to get done - 1 to clean, 2 to clean again, 3 to clean with vinegar and one to dry with towels. With this machine, I clean one time, give it 10 minutes or so to dry and it is gorgeous!

Received the PowerFresh Steam Mop a few days ago. Used it this morning, I put it together in just a few minutes added distilled water it heated in 30 seconds and was cleaning the tile floors. I cannot believe how easy it is to use and how clean the tile and grout are. Sorry I didn't order one sooner, my husband could not believe the short time it took to clean all the floors. I am one happy person, love the Power Steam Mop.
