Review on ๐Ÿงผ White Canister Steam Cleaner with 15 Accessories by Sharper Image SI-380 by Brian Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great on my terrible tile floor, also snags Norwex mop heads

Really like this steam cleaner. I have a partially glazed (or weird) tile floor that's a pit and bane to my existence (well, my chores anyway). It takes a huge amount of detergent to clean it and a few days after you clean it, it looks like you haven't cleaned it. It picks up black from our black-soled shoes, picks up anything wet you drop on it, and so on. All in all, it's just an ugly bottom that we'll hopefully tear apart one day. But to this day, I'd prefer an easier way to clean up. I've tried the traditional yellow pro bucket with wheels and handle and a cloth/rope mop, I've tried Swiffers, I've tried sponge mops and I've tried Norwest. So far, Norwest has been a winner despite eating a lot of fat. So of course I was excited to try this mop. It puts out a ton of vapor that took about ten minutes to heat up (I'm at a high altitude so don't know if that makes a difference). In cleaner areas, this full-on mop allowed me to just slide right through the dirt and pick it up. I had to put some elbow grease on the worst spots that stuck to the raw part of the tile, but not as much as with Norwex. this mop on it and it held up very well. Now I can use Norwex dishwashing liquid and mops with it. Even if they hang a bit over the edges, this steam mop sticks to them so well they still work just fine. Advantages: A lot of steam cleans my floor without chemicals. nozzles. I can't wait to try them all. Can be rolled up easily. The cushions are machine washable and can be hung to dry. you will have to take a break. No hose storage. A huge oversight that makes it all the more painful to keep. There is no place to store the cable. The same is a big oversight. Nozzles are stored separately in a bag. Would have liked a bottom drain that could be emptied. Maybe these are prototypes? The overlay doesn't match the picture in the instructions so I had to guess how to apply them. There are definitely no two stripes on the pads I got. The color confused me. Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I really like this steam cleaner. If I use this every week I can do my cooking with one dressing. And maybe another filling for my hallway and utility room. Not sure I would dare use this on any of my laminate floors, although the manual says you can. As a parent of children with autism, issues are close to my heart.
