Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea

I am so thrilled to have this product. Now I feel my floors are very clean & it is so easy to use.

I have wanted to try a steam mop for a while now, and I found this map very easy to use, and very efficient. The mop works quickly and very well. The floors also dried fairly quickly after I used it. I love the washable pads that come with it.

I just received this product today and put it right to work. Wow, what a great little machine and my floors are so clean with little to no effort on my part. The majority of my home is ceramic tile and this steam cleaner did a superb job of cleaning the tile. My tile floor is not shiny so there was no concern of streaky drying. It didn't really get into the grout but I wasn't expecting it to. I was just looking for a product that would allow more freedom when mopping the floors.

I like the fact that it steam cleans and only uses water. I will definitely mop more often with this product rather than when I had to use a traditional mop and pail. I like that the pads can be changed while cleaning so that you are using a clean pad when doing the floors. I also like that the water on the floor is hot vs. using a traditional mop where as the water sits it becomes lukewarm. So I'm using less water, I'm not lugging around a pail of heavy water and I don't have to wring out and use a dirty mop until the job is done.

The only changes I'd make:
a longer plug in cord
a larger water dispenser
more pads upon purchase (though you can purchase more on eBay for less than the Bissell website)
change the trigger so you don't have to constantly hold it down to release steam

Overall I'm extremely happy with this purchase! Goodbye traditional mop, hello green tea.

I have a herniated disc, do all the house cleaning myself so thought a steam cleaner might be the thing as I have gone through so many other mops that take so much strength and hurt my back. I was told I could not mop by my doc and my therapist so...
I spent days looking at steam mops and the only reasonable one seems to be the saeco piccolo but that is not available anywhere.

I tried to use this mop through the whole house and I have vinyl flooring. It took me 3 times as long as the starmop, did not pick up debris and I did vacuum before using it. It was good for doing the white tiles on my kitchen floor which takes 2 changes of the terry mop cover(every day). It is good for loosening bird poop off the floor (stand and steam). It also left lots of streaks. I don't reckon it is much good... Don't waste you money.

My friend has just moved into a house where it is all carpeted and she has a tiny bit of granite flooring so swapping the bissel for her starmop and buying a stronger steamer for the bird poop and kitchen..

Thus far, I'm thrilled with this steam mop.

I just moved into a home with three bathrooms -- all with white tile. Keeping the white grout clean is a chore. I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work other than getting on my hands and knees with a grout brush. Although I don't recommend this steam mop for cleaning up grout that's already in bad condition, it will maintain clean grout with minimal effort (unlike my old sponge and microfiber rag mops which only seemed to make it dirtier). It works very well on my vinyl tile floors, too. Although there is some water (which quickly dries and streakfree) on the floors, I don't find it to be excessive. I use distilled water (I managed to do all three bathrooms without replacing water) and make sure I let it heat up properly.

The floors look and feel tremendously clean after I use this mop. I've found other products leave a residue (Swiffer, for example, always felt sticky when I finished). Traditional mops require constant changing of dirty water. This is a much cleaner, easy way to clean. I did it in half the time it would normally take me, with little mess.

The mop itself is well-designed. The head moves easily. I'll still have to do some cleaning by hand in corners or behind the toilet in the half bath (where space is tight) but in general, the mop fits well around toilets and under cabinets, etc. I'm fairly tall but don't have to bend over to use it. It heats up quickly. The microfiber pads are easy to get on and off. It pushes easily across the floor. It feels very sturdy when you use it. The water container is very easy to remove.

If this holds up over the long haul, I'll be extremely happy with this purchase.
