I purchased this steam mop 1940 after researching most steam mops on the market. I love it. Doesn't use a lot of water so your floors are just slightly damp but quick to dry. The mop itself is lightweight and easy to maneuver. I have even used it on my carpet to freshen it up, knowing it wasn't going to get real wet. I love it. I am going to buy one now for my daughter so she can have clean floors like mine.

I was really excited to get this mop, so I could toss the old bucket away. However, I found this very difficult to use. It did not go forward. The pad kept getting caught and going underneath. I tried the other pad and same thing happened. When it did work, the pad got dirty, so I assumed it worked. It seems like the elastic is not tight enough. I am really bummed. I will be returning this.

I just finished scrubbing/sanitizing my kitchen and both bathrooms for the second time using the model 1806 series Bissell steam mop. The most frustrating about the steam mop is that the "neck" of the wand where it meets the mop head is so unstable the mops falls over and hits anything in it's way every time I let go of the handle. This is a deal breaker for me. I have two Black and Decker stick battery operated stick brooms that retain their ability to stand up 99% of the time. The Bissell not only endangers itself but also anything within 4' of the handle. It also does not operate exactly how the instructions indicate it should so operating it is simply guess work on my part. I would not purchase this product again.

I first used it on my bath room that over a number years had become increasingly dirty; I could not remove it with ordinary floor cleaner with and ordinary mop. The Bissell mop achieved what I could not and now my floor is really clean. The vinyl flooring looks just it did when it was installed. My next floor cleaning project with the Bissell mop is my kitchen floor. The years have also left down deep dirt & grime. I predict that it will do the same fantastic job that it did in my bathroom.

I bought this in Sep. 2015. Used for less than 10 times, the cap of the water tank broke. Contacted Bissell, a replacement was sent to me at no cost in Nov. 2016. After another 10 uses, the cap of the water tank broke. Looks like the water tank has about the same life span as the mop pad. Very disappointed with the quality. When the cap is good, the mop cleans my hardwood floor in the kitchen well. 2 star for Bissell's service and the cleaning result.

I am in a wheelchair and have a hard time with the bigger cleaning equipment, with this machine it is so easy to use even my 6 year old loves it. The water tank is so light weight that even filled it's easy to change/add water. Works excellent on bamoo flooring without stripping vaneer so still looking like new

I bought this steam mop and it leaked so Bissell replaced it. I won't buy another one because of the following: 1) The water reservoir is hard to remove from the mop. I have broken several fingernails removing it. 2) The pads become saturated very quickly. I operate mine on low and by the time I do my short galley kitchen the pad is soaked which then leaves a lot of water on the floor. 3) I left water in the reservoir and stored it. When I returned, the water had leaked out. 4) It does not stand well on its own without leaning against something.

We just installed new laminate floors and did not like how they looked after we cleaned them with our old mop and bucket. We took a chance and purchased this steam mop. We are very pleased on how easy it is to use and how well it cleans. The floors dry very fast with almost no streaking. My only complaint is No power on and off switch.

Love my little steamer, purchased some extra covers and that really helps to clean my whole house in a relatively short period of time. When you fill it with water, it runs for a long time before you need to refill and that is with using heavy steam. It does a good job of cleaning my tile floors.

I received my product a little while ago, just never took the time to leave a review. Reading over a few of the ones listed I thought I'd put in mine so it may help out someone else. I had a Eureka Floor Steamer and it was pretty good -- took off the grime and such, then I got a shark floor steam (free w/a purchase# -- the Shark replaced the Eureka #yes really# it seemed to give off a better steam -- and it was lighter too --- WELL THEN...I saw the PowerFresh 1940 - compared it to the two I already had and was won over. Now the PowerFresh has replaced the Eureka and the Shark. I love this little machine. While the earlier two I had got the job started on my 15+ year old vinyl floor -- the PowerFresh came in and finished the job. Its lightweight and has 3 settings #which neither of my other machines had# The area it covers is wider and the pads #if you put them on correctly (start from the square end and pull to the rounded end -- tuck in the corners# stay put very nicely. I love the 3 steam settings -- on the old floors that highest level is the best for cutting through the buildup that occurs when floors have lost their protective layer #for lack of a better term#. I used the PowerFresh to clean the floor and then mopped with a refinisher product -- then two days later did a light PowerFresh mop over the floor again...when folks come over they ask WHEN DID YOU GET A NEW FLOOR? How about that...after 15+ years the old floor is getting compliments. It was a combination of the two products but the PowerFresh got the buildup and my floor looks great -- The only thing folks have to be careful not to go over the floor too many times when the steamer is on high -- your pad will get very wet and the floor will then be very wet...if the floor is extremely dirty you may need to do this #just be aware of the water -- the machine is not broken). I don't recommend using the steamer on high on NON sealed wood floors because of the possibility of the water...I also would be cautious of using it on even SEALED wood floors on high! If you're mindful of the temperature and only go over a few times it should work out just fine. MY ONLY CON: I wish these mops had ON/OFF switches -- the machine makes noises when the water tank is empty...then you have to pull the plug to have it go off. An on/off switch would be a great idea for ANY of these types of machines. I also recommend the Bissell Spot Clean 5207 - it wouldn't come up in the recommendation list. This little guy does a great job for quick messes. Its small and compact too!
