BISSELLVac & Steam, Steam Cleaner and Vacuum Cleaner At the Same Time, Hygienic Cleaning, Steam Ready in 30s, Multisurface Floor Steam Cleaner, For All Sealed Hard Floor, 1977E

I read an article on wirecutter recently which recommended this model as the best steam mop, the article was very cautious about using a steam mop on any form of wooden floor though. I however, have no love for my wooden floor given that it was installed with some issues so I don't mind if it gets a bit of abuse.Anyway, my main point here is that I have used the Bissel on my constructed wooden floor on the light steam setting with no ill effects. It leaves the surface slighty damp which quick dries. I have been using the high steam setting on my tiled floors which gave impressive results too.I think this is very good unit, I'm impressed with the design and construction, and I like how it comes with 2 x reusable mop heads and scented discs (which smell like fresh laundry). I have used the vacuum alongside the mop and it does a good job. I'd obviously prefer to mop after giving the place a good vacuum with my usual hoover but this is great if you missed a bit along the way. Emptying the dirt chamber is also really easy, as is filling the unit with water. It comes with a very handy filling jug that attached to the stem when not in use.I think the main attraction to this product is that it makes mopping regularly an easy thing to do- it's expensive but I will actually use it way more often than the traditional mop and bucket.

Amazon is stuffs which do not work or from china supporting done drop shippers, along with the good ones. You really need to be vigilant.After my Vax gave up, I bought this. Now I don't need to vacuum first and then mop. I can do it in one go. I can now save 50% time of floor cleaning. My Vax often used to spill water and floor was not that dry. With this one, you won't even think the steam is working as it silently cleans the floor.But there are few things to know before you buy this. I am a collector of vacuum cleaner. I have Miele, Dyson, Shark, Henry and vac robots. I have carpet washer and spot cleaner from Bissell. They are fantastic! So here are my advice:1. It cannot be your only cleaner as it does not have other accessories to clean corners, stairs, and it is a bit bulky. The vacuum cleaning is powerful but not as Miele or Henry because its motor is not pneumatic.2. It does not have HEPA filter3. Mop cloth is nice and does its work better than other brands. It has an elastic band to keep it in place.4. Easy to use and the cord is long.This is a good brand, so go for it.

I purchased this with some skepticism after having previously purchased a Bissel Steam and Vac that broke shortly after I bought it a couple of years ago. This one looks much better made (even against the most recent model) but this makes it quite heavy to move, so people with back problems might not find it as easy as expected. However, you don't need to use it very long and is much quicker than sweeping and then mopping a floor (and I used to find my floors quite often still felt gritty. I found the floors were really clean using the Bissel Steam and Vac).I have a dog with long hair who molts all year round, but as long as you use this daily, the cleaner seems to cope very well. I have older lino that is a nightmare to clean but this cleaner got all the grunge up very quickly and effectively. The dampness left by the steamer was dry by the time I moved to another section of floor. Even first time of using, i had the medium sized kitchen floor and hallways clean within 15 mins.The cleaning head is supposed to be easily detachable but I found it a bit of a pain to attach (you are supposed to put the whole thing on top of the mop section, and it clicks in) and until you get it right, it just comes apart again. But perhaps this is bad newby technique lol. Once it was on, it stayed on.The steam initially took a bit of time to come through and the pump in the steamer makes a thumping noise for 30 seconds as it pumps the water through. But once the steam starts coming through you can start. 30 seconds is all you need for this to happen.I did use both mop heads and both were very dirty but in the past I have rinsed them in biological washing liquid solution and reused them on really filthy floors. But you might need spare mop heads if you need to clean dirty floors frequently. The mop heads aren't the ones that use hook and loop (that quickly doesn't work) tape to stick to the cleaner, they are elasticated and wrap around the plastic mop head apparatus. So will last. They are good quality, nice and thick with one able to 'scrub' the floor. Certainly worked on my floor.The cleaner also comes with 2 fragrance discs, the instructions aren't very clear, you add them to a pouch on the underside of the mop head. If you like using herbal oils, I assume you could just spray them onto the mop head.And as I bought this on a lightening deal offer, I didn't have to pay £149.99 for it, thank you Amazon!In summary, a high quality steam and vac cleaner I'd buy again and recommend highly.

What a waste of money, vacuum is very load and inefficient, doesn't even suck up the lightest debry..you are better off using a handheld sweeper and mop. Great idea but doesn't live up to your slightest expectations. I bought a Kärcher again..this bulky, heavy thing is just collecting dust (not in a good way) standing there in a corner being an eyesore. Never buying a bissell product again, this was the first amd last..the Germans do it better and cheaper.
