No woman would have invented this steam cleaner! You have to hold a very heavy lid and try to hit the steam button. The cable is bulky and heavy, you have to twist it, there is nothing to wrap. You can't just prop it up, and as soon as it falls, all the water runs out. I have a 1940 BISSELL PowerFresh steam mop, floor steamer, tile cleaner and hardwood floor cleaner that I absolutely LOVE. So I gave it to my son. And I just returned a Bissell 2075A and ordered a 1940 Bissell that works.
