Anyone have a steam mop?

Do you like it? I am thinking of getting one and I don't know if they are worth the price vs the Swiffer Wet Jet I have (that I end up scrubbing the floor on hands and knees anyway cause I don't think it's a super good cleaning tool).

I have a Shark.  It's decent.  I still do a hands & knees mop for any major sticky grossness.

I have the Shark Ultra Steam Blaster, which has some other uses aside from mopping. I like it, but if I could go back in time, I'd buy a regular steam mop with a long cord (beware: some cords are ridiculously short). I don't like having the Shark canister under my feet when I'm mopping. Other than that, I like it. It's not as marvelous as the commercials make it seem, but it does the job every bit as well as a Wet Jet, but with no chemicals and no expensive pads to replace.

I've done a lot of research on steam mops, and I'm SO excited to get one for Christmas!

I'm getting the Eureka Enviro Steam Mop.  I read tons of reviews on Amazon, and this one has the best ratings.  Some (like the Shark) don't actually get hot enough to sanitize.  Others are a pain to use.  The Eureka is supposed to be great, and lightweight enough to use frequently.

My mom has a Shark, and she loves it.

I have been wanting one also so I'm curious to see your responses.  I threw out my Swiffer Wet Jet a while ago, to me it doesn't clean very well and makes the floor sticky.

I have the shark. It's ok.  I can't stand putting the dirty floor pad in the washer with my clothes, so i'll hand wash it. It does an ok job. If there is a particularly bad, sticky spill, it takes some work to get it off the floor.

 

Overall, i'm not very impressed with shark products.  I had a shark vacuum a few years ago. It stunk. I threw it out.
