I can't say enough good about this product! The vacuum was powerful and worked great. Yes, I did have to sweep stuff out from under the cabinets first but I have to do that with my regular vac too. No biggie. I bought distilled water when I first bought the Shark and then started using regular tap water when I ran out. The unit lasted for about 6 months after that and exploded (like many other reviews). I take FULL credit for the product not lasting. The instructions clearly state that you MUST use distilled water. OK, now I believe it! I absolutely loved the steamer!!! It was SO simple to use and got my nasty floors squeeky clean! No cleaning a dirty mop, just toss the dirty pad into the washer. I will buy another one and be very careful to use ONLY DISTILLED WATER. In my opinion, this is a GREAT product if you take proper care of it. No reason to blame Shark for my neglect.... A lesson well learned.

I have had this since January 2012 and I use it on my laminate floors about once a month. I also use it for my bathroom floor which is tiled and it comes out looking beautiful. I have not been using distilled water so I am reading the reviews and hope that mine doesn't break soon too. If It should, I will just see if i BBB will take it back, which they very well might.

Like others, I loved it while it worked. I expected more for the price. mine lasted just short of a year and a half, but it wasn't something i used everyday. I will never buy anything from Shark again. There isn't even anyway to attempt to repair this myself. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Did any of you use Distilled water? If you didn't, that could be why it quit working. Just like anything that uses water after time the minerals build up and it clogs it up!!!

Great while it worked. Loved it actually. But after less than a year it exploded and stopped steaming. It's unfortunate because I would have given it 5 stars for it's cleaning capabilities.

Poor purchase. I did not buy this at BB&B, but at another store. It was the best thing since sliced bread until this past weekend. It just stopped steaming. It started making noises (chugging). After hearing one of my friends say that hers actually exploded, I unplugged it. It only lasted EIGHT months. For what I paid for it, I expected better.
Hopefully Haan will be better. They appear to get much better reviews.

Not worth the money!! There are better steamer for less price and they do a better job. This product isn't worth the 150.00 I paid for it.

BAD CHOICE

I purchased this item last November 2010, and was excited to try it; I have hardwood floors throughout my home and wanted something to keep them looking fabulous. It seems to work fine for about two months although it was difficult when using the steamer it becomes hard to maneuver but it did an OK job. However, after two months it began leaking water from the steamer and finally I stopped using it because water is an enemy to hardwood floors. I haven't used it since February 2011 and plan to return it to BB&B as I have just located the receipt. This was a huge disappointment for me and I should have went with another brand but the ads make it appear the product is so good. NOT SO MUCH

We bought a new house that has tile floors through out the first floor and bathrooms upstairs. I was spending a small fortune on swiffer wet jet and mop refills, plus I forgot what a pain it was to sweep and mop large areas since our old house only had tile in the kitchen and bath. I was skeptical at first, but decided to try it. I. Love. It! The biggest difference I notice is that our white socks stay white! Now this will not solve the problem of being a slob. However, it works perfectly if you keep up on major spills and such. So glad that I didn't wait til Christmas to get this! No more dirty water bucket for me!! Plus it's super easy to use and suction is great if you have pets.

We bought the Vac then Steam shortly after installing new laminate floors in the majority of our house. I was sick and tired of sweeping, swiffering, and then swiffer mopping the entire house--it took forever and there was still dust and dog hair on the floors. We decided to try the Shark to see if it made cleaning the floors quicker and/or easier--and holy cow, did it!!! It vacuumed everything up easily (was a little louder than expected though) and was easy to maneuver--so much faster than sweeping and then swiffering. Then I steamed my floors and it worked like a dream. I couldn't believe how quick and efficient it was, and my floors got so clean! We had the new floors for less than a month, so I thought they were pretty clean still, but I found out I was wrong after using the Shark! I also LOVED the fact that it sanitized my floors at the same time. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, but I hate using chemicals to sanitize my house, so the steam was ideal for me. I was actually excited to clean my floors again because the Shark was so fantastic. Unfortunately, the next day, my boyfriend came home and told me that a friend who owns a flooring store says that steam is the worst thing for laminate floors. Apparently the steam seeps into the the seams between the boards and eventually warps the boards and mold and mildew start to grow. Needless to say, after the time and expense (and horrendous mess) of putting in our new floors, my boyfriend wasn't about to let me keep the Shark and ruin the laminate. I had to return the Shark and settle for a Swiffer vac...I think I would have loved the Swiffer vac if I'd never experienced the Shark, but I only like it because it's nominally better than sweeping and then swiffering. If I had the money to waste, I would definitely replace our laminate with tile or hardwood so I could get the Shark again!

I love this vac/steam! I vacuum everyday and it takes me 15 minutes verses 45 probably to sweep. I have only steamed once but I think it works well also. I don't know what the people on here are talking about when they say it leaves streaks. No streaks on my floor. Maybe it was the first time they cleaned it in a while....

I love, love, love this vac then steam. This is the 3rd floor steam cleaner I've owned and it is by far the best one. I like vacuuming with it then attaching pad and steaming, so much easier then 2 separate appliances.

This vac then steam mop is great, and I absolutely LOVE it! It picks up dirt very well and the steam mop does wonders for the stains on my hardwood floors! I have a landscaping husband and the dirt he tracks in all the time.. >:( ... disappears after I use this! Definitely go buy one!

I have two weimaraner dogs and a landscapeing husband, I was really excited to get this, I went right home and used it. The vacume did not work good at all and of course it was screatching the entire time I used it. I didnt even think about using the steam side I was very upset it was not worth the gas to even go get it. I did however go back and get another vacume which was the ergorapido the little orange vacume with a hand held in it, that was awesome!

OMG this is better than slice bread. I am having tile installed in all my bathrooms and hardwood floor in my dining areas (formal & breakfast nook), so I decided I needed an easier way to clean them. Asked around and everyone said they are great!!! But then I read the negative opinions on this site and became very skeptical. I went ahead and bought one. It works fantastic. I pulled up stuff I thought would never come up. Oh and I do live with a SLOB.... I would recommend this to anyone who wants an easier way to clean your floors. I also think the price is right especially with my BB&B coupon!

Goodbye swifter!!! I've wanted this vac/steam mop for the longest time and finally I picked it up today. OMG am I glad I did. I just had to use it right away. The vacuum seemed to work really well. My hubby did not think this was going to be a good purchase but once again I proved him wrong. He was really surprised. The steam mop is AWESOME. I have a 3 year old who drops things EVERYWHERE and sometimes I don't always notice. Things get dried onto the floor. With the Swifter I would scrub and scrub but it would never come up. I ended up being a sweaty mess.. haha. I don't know why people couldn't get dried things up. It worked great for me. Everything came up with this mop. I had a hard time with one little spot but I just let the steam sit for a bit on the stain and it came right up. It's so worth the money cause your not buying pads all the time and soap. The price of those things add up. And my floor is so clean. We couldn't believe the dirt on this pad. I thought my floor was clean before.... guess not!!! Oh well NOW IT IS:) If you want to make your life easier BUY THIS VAC/STEAM MOP.

Heading to the store to return the second one...At first it was great, I told all my girlfriends to get one. Then one of my handles broke off (the one that holds the cord). After returning that one, now my steam function doesn't work. The vacuum is great but the quality of the machine is disappointing. I would not recommend this product if you want something that will last longer than 6 months.

Ive wanted one of these steam mops for awhile now, and finally recieved this one as a christmas gift. The vac part works well, not the best but pretty good. The steam part works pretty good too it doesnt really get up stuff that has been dried on for awhile but my husband spills alot on the floor and with our tile I dont always catch it and things can set in for awhile, as for streaking I have not had any problems with it but I have always used it with bottled/distlled water because where I live the water is VERY hard and leaves deposits on everything. If you keep your house clean and want to use this for in between that once a month really good scrubbing it would be perfect.
