First of all it is so light, it is easy to assemble like 2 minutes! EASY to use, you plug it in and you push ONE button to select the level of heat. It glides easily on my apartment floor which is all tiled. Stain on the floor or caked on spills..NO PROBLEM...you just leave the mop on a few seconds and it comes right up. This is a dream from the my old days of scrubbing my floor on my hands and knees!!! its even good in corners, just let the steam stay on it for more seconds....I recommend this thing and my floors feels so clean under my bare feet....go for it.Lets not forget CHEMICAL FREE, you need no soap, STEAM does the magic..

I bought this steam mop based upon the reviews it received and I have to say I'm not sorry that I bought it. It does its job and then some and I LOVE the little scent disks that you can place in the pads. This is my second steam mop and the 4th brand that I've dealt with and this one is by far the best. I have several Bissell products.

I purchased Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop 1940 just today, used it today and LOVE it! It's easy to use, has a very long cord which affords me each place I need to use it, the tank still had some water in when I finished in the area, and it is lightweight. I am extremely happy I finally purchased a steam mop and this one is perfect for my needs. I would recommend this to others.

My Dad bought this steam mop and was telling me great it was, so I bought one too. I knew if he liked it that it must be good. And he was right! I absolutely LOVE my steam mop. It changes everything. I used to wash on my hands and knees, but I'm not able to do that anymore, and this is the closest thing I've found. The floors get super clean and it's actually fun! You get 2 mop covers, so I do the kitchen, then foyer & then end with the bathroom on one cover. Then I put on the second one to do the other bathroom. And you just throw them in the washer and dryer after and they're ready for next time. And...the floors dry on their own without having to go around drying them with a rag under your foot! Treat yourself to this!

I have an older linoleum floor in my kitchen and I have used this steamer twice, and I can tell you it got so much old dirt up from the floor, I was amazed how great of a job it did. My previous steamer which I won't mention the brand did not come close to getting my floor clean as this one. Thanks Bissell.

I'm giving this one star based on Bissell's replacement parts and not the unit's performance. After only one use, the water tank fell on the floor and slit open the water cap. Bissell and any other online parts retailer does not have the replacement tank and cap in stock.

i was disappointed when i open the box to see what in it. and then when i took it out , i was really surprised. it was totally what i suspected to receive,but it was a stick with a bunch of micro-fiber cloths and thats all. This was a totally waste of money!

If you're thinking about getting a steam mop, think no more - get the Bissell steam mop 1940. I LOVE IT!! This is amazing. I have ceramic tile floors and Brazilian cherry wood floors in my home and this mop works fabulous. I used it on high for the ceramic tile floors and low on the hardwood. I do not own a regular mop and never have so I would wash all my floors on my hands and knees and what a pain. So all I have to do now is vacuum them and use the steam mop and the floors look fantastic. I highly recommend this!!!

I have both the PowerFresh® Steam Mop Hard Floor Steam Cleaner | 1940 and the PowerEdge™ Lift-Off® Steam Mop Hard Surface Steam Cleaner | 20781. A couple of things that really stand out about this steamer - I like the stand on the PowerFresh. Although I realize that my PowerEdge doesn't really need it (it's a triangle shape) but I always feel like the PowerFresh stays a little cleaner because it has more distance from the floor to allow for the bottom to dry. I have not really used the scent discs much. I used them early on but haven't for a while. They are REALLY strong. I usually wet the pad I use and put a little floor cleaner on it. I love that I don't have to use more grip strength to keep the mop making steam. (The PowerEdge does require that.) The PowerFresh came with two pads. The one without grips is easier to use on gummy or grimy surfaces. BUT the one with grips, really does help clean messes. I have used this time and again to clean a floor in our basement as we have been remodeling it. While this product is a straight floor steamer and doesn't have the extra attachments (like the PowerEdge) for using it on anything but floors, it is able to squeeze in some tighter areas - around toilets, etc. I have not used the little brush on the back much.

We bought it based on the recommendation of the person who put in our hard wood floors. It worked great at first and then after a year (yes past the warranty period) it stopped putting out steam to the floor. I went through all the steps suggested in another review and still no steam. We purchased Bissell as we expected high quality and quality to last. Very disappointed.
