Power Fresh Steam Mop with Natural Sanitization, Floor Steamer, Tile Cleaner, and Hard Wood Floor Cleaner with Flip-Down Easy Scrubber, 1940A

I have owned floor cleanng products for 40 years. We had an old bissell steam vac and this is a lot better. The vac is light weight and manufers easily. The vac cleans great with little effort. The machine is ready to use in a minute and starts steaming. You do not have to use a trigger to get the steam going. There are 3 steam settings. I use the low setting for wood floors and the high setting for tile floors. There is also a brush you can use for problem spots. Remember to use only distilled water. I lreally like using this vac.

I LOVE this mop. I used it for years in our home that had tile floors. The quality is excellent! My floors were spotless and sanitized. We moved to a home that had vinyl plank flooring. I since learned it is not recommended for this type of flooring. So now my most favorite mop in the world just sits in storage. Today, as I pulled out my other horrible mop to do the floors an idea popped into my head. Since my basement is partially finished and has concrete floors why not try my steam mop on those floors? I am beyond happy with my idea! It did a wonderful job and the floors are clean!

This steam mop is a replacement for an older one (different brand) that kept breaking on me. I went back to the old "tried and true" method of mop and bucket of soapy water for a time, but found myself missing the ease and convenience of a good steam mop. I was definitely attracted to the positive reviews on the Bissell, so that was a big draw. The price was right too. I've been happy with it since I've had it. Easy to use and very effective at cleaning. We have sealed hardwood, seal laminate, and ceramic tile in our house, so this mop has been tested on different types of floors. Hardwood: works great. The basic mop cloth is better than the one with the little "grippers" etched into it. It glides much more smoothly across the floor. To keep the shine up, I'll spray a fine mist of vinegar over small areas as I steam mop. Ceramic: My favorite type of flooring by far to use this on, mostly because you don't have to even think about moisture issues with it. Cleans perfectly every single time. If something does get stuck in the grout, there is a small scrubber attachment that you can use to scrub as you mop. Laminate: I'm always extremely careful whenever cleaning my laminate, regardless of how I'm cleaning it. Let's face it, laminate and water do not mix. We installed our flooring and sealed it at all the seams, but I still worry. While you can't turn off the steam on this mop during usage (if it's plugged in, the steam is going), you can reduce the amount of steam to the lowest level, which I've found to be just right for "delicate" floors like laminate. In the past (with my other steam mop) I did begin to notice a bit of a dull build up that happened after using the steam mop exclusively for about 3 months; using a regular mop and some laminate floor cleaner seamed to clear that up quickly. I don't know if that will happen with this steam mop, but I'm anticipating it and am prepared for it. Things to consider: --If this is your first steam mop, be aware that it's not the same as cleaning with a mop. I remember wondering how it was cleaning my floor at all; but it does. In fact, it does an amazing job. I'm constantly repulsed by how nasty the mop cover is after one use. Yuck. --Expect to buy more mop covers. You'll get 2 with this unit. And those 2 are great. But the thing about steam mops is that the cover will become gross as you mop around your house---especially if you're doing a major cleaning that is picking up a lot of dirt. The more dirty that mop cover gets, the better the chance of leftover streaks on your floor will be. Decide which sort of mop cover you use most and pick up an extra pack of them. You may want to use a fresh mop cover for each high-traffic area. ---Be aware that some floors just love to show streaks and there isn't too much you can do about it. My hardwood and ceramic are a dream to clean with the steam mop, but the laminate is a bit more fussy. If the cover isn't clean, the floor will look streaky and almost like there's a film on it when you're done. I try to do that flooring first to reduce that risk. If you notice a build up after a while, do a mop/bucket round of cleaning with a designated laminate cleaner. That should cut through the "film"; you'll be fine to steam mop once again. Overall opinion: I like this machine. It's simple. Straight forward. Easy to use. You can't turn the steam off while the unit is plugged in, but I'm okay with that and have never had any issues because of it. Changing between steam levels is as easy as pushing a button and the result is almost immediate. The water heats up quickly (about 30 seconds) so my mop is ready to use when I'm ready to use it. There is a slight "knocking" sound that happens while the mop is plugged in and as I'm using it, but it doesn't affect the usage and hasn't been a problem. The manual mentions that it can happen, and I think it has to do with how the water is drawn from the water tank by the machine. My one complaint is that one of the mop covers has a rip in the seam (where the elastic is sewn on). I can stitch it and it will be fine, but it's annoying that it happened after one wash. Also, the mop covers will not be white ever again after you've used them. No matter how you wash or pretreat them. I've gotten over that too and it doesn't really matter. In the end, so long as this machine continues to work well, I'm happy.

I love this mop! So easy to use! It cleans and doesn't leave streaks on my floor! Great steam output, easy to use. I feel like my floors are really clean when I get done. It's so very simple to use and does a wonderful job! No chemicals needed! Saves money on cleaning products too.

Talk About being in LOVE! <3! I am Head Over Heels in Love with this Mop! Where to start? I'm a Single Mother of 4 (5 if you count my feline Child). I have the 2 youngest still at home (3y.o. & 5y.o.) So I have seen my share of messy floors over the past 22 years. You name it I have probably tried it at home and work to keep things clean, healthy and easy. Oh and affordable if I can. Well "I have found it!" The Bissell PowerFresh Mop!!! It maybe just for the floors but let me tell you this; You keep your floors clean it also keeps other things cleaner as well. I have Ceramic Hard Tile Floors throughout.Man oh Man the time i have been down on my knees scrubbing them because mops [of all kinds] , swiffers and other methods just haven't gotten things clean enough for me. My Little Boys are so so so messy; besides food, drinks. There is play-dough, stickers color crayons, mud, dirt and things i don't even know what it is on the floors. I gave up trying to figure it out. But when I got My Bissell PowerFresh I totally put it to the test. I had Play-dough smudges,stickers, coloring, mud, dried up yucky in the grout of the tiles and so much more here and there. The Bissell PowerFresh is freaking magic or something!!! It got every thing up with very little effort. The tuff spots just placed the mop over the area for 10 to 15 seconds like the manual said with the little scruby brush in the down position and back and forth a couple times and wha-la! Magic! Couple spots I did it a couple times Like around the stove and fridge. But trust even going over it a couple of times was nothing compared to having to get down on my hands and knees in the past with a bucket of hot soapy water and a scrub brush, which sometimes would get knocked over by someone. :-( I was in a accident a while back and it is killer on me to get things done or any thing done. But they must be done. But at least now not only can i get things done easier but also better than before the accident. Trust me this is Magic. Just water!?!?!?!? Amazing! Now it comes with the 2 mop pads but i did purchase 2 more sets but depending on your need and use; you can can get away with just the 2 it comes with or even just one more extra set. They are made really really well. Great quality. So i can see them lasting a very long time. They do get a little dingy but from what i have read oxy clean does the trick. I'm out at the moment so i don't put my pads in the dryer to dry just hang out to dry until i pick up some more oxy clean. You get a couple of the disk with the mop and you get more when you purchase spare mop pads. They are a bit strong but smell wonderful. i do cut My disk in 1/2 and are kept in a ziplock when not in use. When you purchase a spare set of pads the disk come in a blue resealable package for each one. So I can keep the other half in there until i need it. Very Simple and i love it. The Extra pads and Mop it self might seem a bit pricey at first to some BUT...... It is TOTALLY worth it in the long run. I feel it is more Eco Friendly. I'm not throwing away tons of floor wipes away everyday that i had to pay for. It uses water. No Mop buckets to knock over or chemical floor cleaners to buy. My Boys dont' crawl aroudn on the floor any more but wish i would have had this back then. Sorry So Long Winded. I'm just totally in LOVE! Here is the link to the correct Mop pads to purchase. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6G37SU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I mistakenly got the wrong ones but AMAZON was on-top of that when i realized what i did and had the right ones out to me very fast. And returning the wrong ones was so easy. I LOVE AMAZON! As Well They ROCK!!!!

Although very optimistic about this purchase, after following the instructions TO THE LETTER, and only using distilled water, it failed to produce steam after only one use. How disappointing! I DO NOT recommend this product at all. Accordingly, I am sending it back for a refund. I will, most likely, order a HAAN steam cleaner to replace this Bissell failure. UPDATE #1: I posted the above review several hours ago after trying to use my Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop for only the second time. Of course, as I explained above, the steamer failed to work, prompting me to request a return shipping label for a refund; however, before packing the unit up, I looked online for possible fixes to my problems and came across this U-Tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8OvV30sHM I tried the half-CLR / half-Distilled Water mixture (poured directly into the water reservoir) and let it sit for approximately three hours. Upon turning on the unit to see if it would make steam …. NOTHING …. but wait! …. after trying for several second without success, I (as they did in the video) shook the steamer from side to side quite forcefully and … BLAMMO …. a strong burst of steam suddenly came exploding from the steam mop head and it began functioning absolutely perfectly, as if nothing was ever wrong. I immediately powered the steam mop down and promptly emptied the water reservoir of the CLR mixture, rinsed the reservoir out good, then refilled the reservoir with clean, fresh distilled water. Afterwards, I was able to mop my entire tiled kitchen, tiled hallways, and tiled bathrooms with nary a hitch. The Bissell Steam Mop operated exactly as it was designed. In retrospect, now that I see how the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop operates when it is working properly, I realize that the first time I used the steam mop, the steamer was not putting out the proper amount of steam. Obviously, there was a clog in the unit when I unboxed it, when lends me to believe that Amazon shipped me a unit that had been returned. I come to that conclusion based on the fact that the box the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop arrived in from Amazon was a plain brown cardboard box, unlike one you would expect from a manufacturer. While I was at Sears yesterday, I looked at some Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mops that were displayed for sale and (unlike the box I received from Amazon) the boxes were very colorful with bold pictures of the steam mop proudly displayed on each side. Quite a difference! I'm going to keep the return label that I downloaded from Amazon's website for at least a couple of weeks since I may still very well return it. It kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth that Amazon (to my belief) sent me a used/returned unit. I will give it another try or two before I decide whether or not to return it. However, I WILL upgrade my rating, just slightly (to 3 Stars), because the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop DID do a beautiful job on my floors after it was flushed with whatever debris/gunk was clogging the steamer flow tubes. Indeed I was VERY impressed with the overall simplicity of operation, the amount of steam that contacted the floor, and the finished cleanliness of the finished floors. Quite nice! Recommended … but with caution! UPDATE #2: Okay …. it's official … the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop is a piece of CRAP! Today I attempted to use it for the third time and, AGAIN, it would not operate. It required yet another dose of CLR before the steamer mechanism came to life. Accordingly, I am reducing my review to only one star, but that's only because I can't give it ZERO stars. NOT RECOMMENDED!!! UPDATE #3: August 22, 2015 …. Today I was at Sears in Savannah, GA and purchased a new Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop. As noted above in my earlier review, the steam mop I received from Amazon was packaged in a plain brown cardboard box, void of any embellishment or product photos. This, of course, led me to believe I might have been sent a repackaged unit by Amazon, perhaps a defective unit that was previously returned. Regardless, the Powerfresh that I received from Amazon NEVER worked properly. Fast forward to today …. the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop that I purchased from Sears (unlike the one from Amazon) was contained inside a very colorful cardboard box, adorned with photos of the product and highly descriptive information. I purchased the unit for $89, and paid an additional $18 for a 2-year replacement warranty. I brought the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop home and assembled it according to the instructions (which is VERY simple). After assembly, I poured fresh distilled water into the reservoir and plugged in the unit. YES! …. The Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop that I purchased from Sears fired right up and within one minute was pumping away steam like an old locomotive! I immediately steam mopped my tile kitchen, tile hallway, and tiled bathrooms with nary a hitch. It worked beautifully and the resulting cleaned floors looked fantastic! Acccordingly, I am now escalating my star-rating from 1 to 5. Yes, it was a frustrating and annoying beginning to my relationship with the Bissell, but the unit that I purchased today worked so well and did such a fantastic job on my floors, I have to give it a max-rating. Would I purchase the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop from Amazon? …. HELL NO …. Would I purchase the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop from a local department store? ….. YES YES YES! At the moment I whole-heartedly recommend the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop; however, it I run into issues in the future I will most certainly provide an update.

Hi. I'm an artist. Which means I don't earn much... but all the chores of a house husband. I don't mind most chores. I do windows, despise dusting, and resent mopping. But you have to mop the porcelain floors or you can't invite guests over. It took a long time for me to figure out how to mop properly. I used one of those sponge mops (which you can pull back into itself to ring out the dirty water). Instead of ringing out into the same bucket, I'd ring into the sink and even wash the sponge. Picture this. Even in a moderately sized condo, I'd rinse the mop at least 20 times during once mopping. That's a lot of hot water. So is the two gallon bucket I'd have to fill with Simple Green. Gallons of water and chemicals. And when I was done? MEH said the floor. It was better but not optimal. So my mop broke and I went to replace it. Couldn't. The Rollomatic was no longer at OSH. Which sucks because I have a replacement head that's now useless. I went to Amazon to see if they carry it. They do, but they also carry this Bissell baby. It looks like cheap plastic. Know why? To keep it light. If it were metal you'd never use it. This light design is just right and about 1/4th of the work of the Rollomatic. And there's no bucket to move around. The 'bucket' is a small reservoir that could hold two cans of Coke in it. Maybe one and half. When you open the box, assembly should be easy but for one thing: when you attach the handle to the unit, the handle can be slid in upside down. Which means when you go to put the one screw in it mysteriously won't work. I'm not the handyman type but I know 'engineers' can paint on a little red line on the handle and unit and tell us to make them 'match' each other to avoid this mistake. Or shape the rod in such a way that it can only slide in the correct way. A silly little design flaw. Okay. There's no on or off switch. You just plug in. A little blue light blinks. About a minute later it's ready. Then you pick what steaming power you want. Light, Medium, Heavy. Understand the unit comes wearing a 'gentle mop' and includes a 'scrubby mop' in the box. So it therefore comes with six levels of intensity: gentle light, gentle medium, gentle heavy, scrubby light, scrubby medium, scrubby heavy. I put off buying a new mop for ages and so it was particularly dirty. On my tile floor in the kitchen and major walkways, scrubby mop/heavy steam was needed. In other areas the gentle mop/medium steam did the trick. I should say here that I had to change from the gentle mop to the scrubby mop because the gentle mop got filthy fast. If Bissell wanted to be the bestest -- they'd include an additional set of mop heads for the same price. If that didn't get through: if you have a ginormous home to mop, you'll need more of the mop heads if the floor is particularly dirty. A few cool things -- 1. Under the cabinets in my kitchen is that part of floor the normal mop could barely clean. Grime would slowly build up and the only way to fix that was paper towels, spray, and hands & knees. This Bissell? Cleaned MONTHS OF FILTH in minutes. (This is what made me first consider taking the Bissell out for dinner and a movie.) 2. You don't need Simple Green and Pine Sol. This is STEAM. And you don't need a ton of water. (This is when I considered asking the Bissell back to my place.) 3. What was a solid hour of mopping is about 25 minutes with the Bissell. And that old school mopping used to make me so tired I refused to clean the upstairs linoleum bathroom... which is only a few feet wide. I did that too... in two minutes. (This is when I poured the wine for the Bissell and dimmed the lights a little.) 4. Because it's now so easy to 'mop'... I can do this weekly. Instead of what seemed to be every 4-6 weeks. (I told you I didn't like mopping, didn't I?) (Oh, and this is when my wife caught me and the Bissell in a compromised position. But this is my only affair and I won't apologize! Damn it this thing is awesome. Sure I wish she was a cheaper date, but hey, she sure can make me steamy.) <3 THREE MONTHS UPDATE: Yes, my affair with this thing is still on-ongoing. Maybe not as hot and heavy, but yes -- there is still love. However, I stumbled upon something which requires rewording and correcting. Above I said that grime came off with the first uses. And it did. What I didn't know until recently was that it doesn't remove ALL the grime. I had six or so years of it building up slowly, despite my Simple Green mopping and Bissell steaming. I basically forget my floor was matte finished, and you could clearly see a grimy 'shine'. So I got on my hands and knees with a harsh plastic brush, hot water, and some soapy water with some OxyClean mixed it. Surprise surprise -- this cleaned off YEARS of gunk. What I thought were scratches in the porcelain floor were really scratches in the gunk. This is why people hire people when they sell their home to come in and use those machines to REALLY clean the floor. And so my question will become IS the Bissell enough to stave off this 'gunk' that builds up -- and how long before I'm forced to scrub hands and knees style. If I can go a full year without needing to scrub so hard, I'll be satisfied but not delighted. If it's two to three, delighted but not thrilled. If the Bissell prevents me from ever having to scrub the floor again, I'll be Michael Jackson Thrilled. So I'll come back the first moment I have an answer to that question.

I am impressed. I have used "swiffer" for a long time. However, 2 puppies changed my perspective on "clean." After I put this together, took 10 minutes tops. It was however comical to watch me try to figure out how to attach the handle. Three Stooges could figure it out better and faster than I did. It was one of those days. Anyway after laughing it really took less then a couple of minutes before it was "together. I just attached the handle, plugged it in, figured out which figure (picture on the front of the steamer) to push and I was steaming my kitchen floor. It's really that easy. Ok, so another comical moment was when I was trying to figure out how to "spray" release the steam. Remember, I was a swiffer user! Once I realized that plugged in and selecting the level of clean on the front IS ON, I was good to go. Let me clarify. You plug it in. Then you push the steam level button to turn it on. You will hear clicking noises so don't freak out. When the light flashes it's working. After it's ready to go, the light will be steady, you push the "steam level" button until the light above the picture of the steam amount you want is on. You'll know what I mean when you look at the front of your Bissell. To turn it off simply push the "steam level" button again. Now you can unplug it. To push the mop across the floor is not difficult, however please note that it is not as light as a swiffer or other such product so a little more push, not strength, is needed. 1 month prior to getting my Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop I had scrubbed my kitchen floor on my hands and knees. I used the old swiffer after and was pretty impressed with myself, but thought I'm getting older and Cleaning a floor like that again was not going to happen. First use of this Bissell shocked me. really! I could not believe how dark the previously bran new white pad had become. I used my swiffer after and came up with nothing, nada! I hand washed my pad, let it air dry (highly recommended) and wished I had bought another set so I could mop everyday with this thing.. So, yes I ordered the "Bissell" replacement pads. Comes in a 2 pk, 1 - extra scrub and 1 - regular. Do not waste your money buying an off brand. You'll spend more by returning them, or discarding them and purchasing the Bissell anyway. Please note, you do not need extra pads at least not right away. I hand wash my pads. I have a sink in my wash room that has a rub board built in, like the old wash boards. Use Dawn dish soap and rub away. Then rinse thoroughly. I let it air dry by handing it over the handle of my outside broom. You do not have to wash them between uses IF there is little dirt on them. However, I can't. It must be that OCD thing. It comes with 2 pads so you should be ok. To remove the pad, take it off from the back first and unless you wait for it to "cool" down watch out for the hot steam. (That's why we bought it - hot steam.) To put a pad on the Bissell is very easy. Start with the straight edge, front of the Bissell, the picture is inside the pad ;) Then the back easily slides on because of the elastic. I use this on my kitchen floor three times a week currently because of the 2 puppies. Once they are completely house trained I'll only use it once a week. I have a lot of in and out foot traffic across my kitchen floor. Once a week on each bathroom floor and the kitchen floor and my floors look fresh. Kitchen floor looks like new. The dated linoleum, from the early 70's is the give away in the bathrooms. However, they look and feel much, much better after having used this on them the first time. There was a noticeable difference on the older floors. It may seem pricey. However, consider that this is a one time purchase, is easy to use and will be used repeatedly. I have already told friends about this product. If you live in the country, or have animals, or small children, or lots of company or all of the aforementioned then you really want this. NOTE: I would/will NOT use this on my wood floors. I know the product and reviews have stated otherwise. Experience, my sister's is not good with steam mops on wood or wood laminate flooring. I would/will use it on Tile, linoleum, and painted/ stamped concrete. One last thing. I had just put in Granite counter tops and the installers left behind adhesive on the floor. Couldn't get it off before and wasn't about to use a scrapper on my floor. I put down the attached back scrubber and watched with disbelief. The scrubber goes down with a slight push of your foot. It releases the same way. Oh and the adhesive is gone without forceful effort!
