I have had good experiences with Bissell products I have used. I am sure in fact that this steam mop may be fine for certain applications but not my paver- tile floor. I assembled the steam mop quickly and it was ready to use in minutes. As I began to move the mop back and forth, testing an area of my floor it seemed to be cleaning just fine. However when the floor actually dried I could see visible streaks which required physical attention on my part to eliminate. It was not a good cleaning experience for me but again it may work for you. I contacted Bissell and was authorized to return it for a credit which I am in the process of doing. I was told that the credit will take up to four weeks to hit my account.

This is my first experience with a steam mop and I love it. It's light weight, easy to manuever, heats up quickly and the floor dries quickly. Love the scrub brush as well for tough spots. It's great for small areas or large and being able to wash the pad when done is really nice. The different temperature/steam options is handy as well. I was surprised at how long the water reservoir lasted too. I could mop my kitchen, dining room and foyer on one tank and no streaks!! I would definitely recommend this product.

I got this one probably for about 2 years, and it exceeded my expectations. I used a different brand before which had an option to detach the steamer and use it on other applications, too (grout, etc), but the handle was fl8msy and broke in half, was not offering a steam intensity option. I went through 2 of those (both stopped working 8n less than a year each). So starting from that experience, I was not expecting too much from my Bissell. But it surprised me how sturdy it was, that it was not leaving any streaks on my tiles (yeah!) and that it broke down dirt better than my previous brand. I use heavy steam on my kitchen tiles and low steam on my hardwood. Yes, I know experts do not recommend using a steamer on a hardwood floor, but I am doing it for probably 4 years (1- 4 times a month). My hardwood it the same. The cap of the water tank though broke this week and I ordered a new one now (the reason I am on Bissell website niw :-)). I find the pads a bit expensive (there are cheaper version on the net, but I am afraid the quality of their microfiber is not good, so I prefer to buy the original). So, to conclude, I am very happy with this one. I would consider something else only if that something else will be a robotic steamer (like Rumba).

Sorry that it took me so long to leave a review after winning this item. First let me say it is very easy to put together and very light weight. With the operation of the product very easy to handle and heats up in no time. With any hard to remove spots the easy drop down scrub brush is the key. One of the best features is that there is no chemicals needed. Just straight distilled water and the job is complete.

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.

Just brought my Bissell powerfresh home today. Put it together in no time flat and did my kitchen/dining room ceramic tile with ease. The pad was DISGUSTING, so I know it did a great job....but what really impressed me was the Hardwood. I have used several different steam mops before....and all of them left streaks to some degree. Some less noticeable than others....so I just figured it was a fact of life. NO NO NO! This steam mop not only did NOT leave streaks....but it shined my Floors beyond my wildest dreams! LOVE LOVE LOVE this Mop!!

At first I was skeptical, but after using it a few times I was impressed, does a good job. I tried the deodoriser pads on some doggie smelling rugs at it worked well. Then I got the bright idea to try it on the car seats and once again it got the smell out and softened up the stains enough that they cleaned up by just following up with the shop vac. This machine has more than paid for itself in just a few uses. The best part is it's really simple to put away.

This is my second one. Foolishly I bought another one when the first one quit after I'd had it about year. I thought maybe it was just a fluke, but now the second one isn't producing any steam!! They work great for the first few months, but they don't last. Extremely disappointed!!!

I seldom leave reviews for products, but the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop was so good I wanted to tell everyone. I live in an 1889 Victorian home with the original floors. I have always been on a quest to find something that will clean these floors quickly and easily. I finally found the Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop and have been so impressed with it, I have purchased one for every floor. It cleans even the toughest grime that gets tracked inside quickly and easily. The water reservoir is easy to remove, fill and replace. The mop head works around all of the furniture easily. I absolutely love this steam mop, it has made a tough job so much easier and you don't have to have smooth, pristine floors which is a great thing if you live in a historic home.

We began using Bissell's steam mops after becoming less then satisfied with a competitor's mop. Our first Bissell mop was the Steam Mop, which we still have and use in small areas; we then purchased the 2 Machines in 1 mop because of the detachable steam pod and large head. Both of these units do an outstanding job. We have used our PowerFresh Steam Mop for the first time today to clean our kitchen and sunroom areas, and find that the variable steam setting feature along with the large incredibly maneuverable mop head makes this unit another outstanding Bissell product. And the fresh scent pad far exceeds our expectation by leaving a long lasting pleasant aroma in the cleaned area...job well done!
