Love it!,
I love this product. It does exactly what it says it will. Picks up dirt/dust. Makes the floor feel really clean beneath my bare feet.
I usually would mop very rarely due to back/shoulder pain, but this is very easy to use, lightweight and didn’t cause any discomfort. Also, I love that it uses no chemicals. Because I have two cats, I’d use the swiffer wet and then go over it with water to remove the chemical residue. I didn’t want them licking the poison cleaner off of their paws, nor did I want that on my feet. Also, the swiffer cleaner smell/chemical made me itch.
I have hardwood floors in most of my apartment plus tile in the kitchen and ceramic tile in the bathroom. It cleaned all the floors really well and easily. I do sweep prior to use. I also used the glide attachment on my sisel area rug. It was definitely brighter afterwards and felt cleaner. There was a musty oder due to all the recent dampness; there is no smell at all now.
I did notice after two rooms the pad was becoming too saturated and it was more difficult to glide over the floor, so I changed the pad and went on to the next rooms. I would suggest buying the extra pads so as not to be without a clean one to change up.
I can highly recommend this product. I’ve already recommended it to my friends who also hate to mop!

|Excellent value,
Assembly of this steam cleaner consists of snapping the handle on and pressing on the cleaning pads. Uses distilled water for the best cleaning without having minerals that tap water would introduce into the boiler, so it should have a long life. I have porcelain tile and laminated wood flooring and both were cleaned thoroughly and quickly. The steaming sounds were so quiet it didn’t even disturb the cat! After cleaning about 1600 sq ft, I laundered the 2 cleaning pads on gentle cycle and air dried them. Only some small matter was still on the pad surfaces and that pulled out easily. If you first vacuum your surfaces to pick up all the loose debris, you won’t have much to stick to the cleaning pad, which has a microcloth with just enough “tooth” to grab hair, threads, etc. This product will allow you to clean under the bed, but it does not have a swivel head, so you may still need to hand clean areas that are too tight to negotiate, such as between toilet and wall. The cleaned floors passed the WHITE SOCK test, so I highly recommend this product.

|You are going to LOVE it!!,
First off, i’d like to tell you a little about myself so that you can understand my view when writing this review: I am the type of person that has to do all the cleaning myself because I want it done a certain way, and no other way will do because it has to be just “perfect”. Luckily, my husband was willing to learn “my way” and he does it that way and I don’t have to worry about it. I am VERY picky about my cleaning. I used a lot of bleach for disinfecting and used to buy bleach by the gallons at Sam’s Club because not only would I bleach my bathrooms, countertops, etc, but I would fill a mop bucket with bleach water and bleach my tile floors. When I clean, it’s CLEAN. However, about 9 months ago I discovered “steam”, and I thought, well, it’s still killing germs, etc, etc, but, and i’m not using all of that bleach on the floors. Cause, let’s face it, even though I would mop with the bleach water and do two buckets of clean water to rinse the floor, there’s still going to be residue from the cleaner – bottom line.
So, as I said, I discovered the Steam mop. Went to the store, bought the Shark. My 88 year old Grandma was with me that day, she too bought the Shark. Ok, let me just say, I LOVED the concept of using the steam on the floor instead of mopping and using all of that bleach. WAS NOT happy with the pumping and pumping and pumping and pumping and pumping you have to do to get it to produce the steam. What a pain in the @## that is. Turns out, it’s way more of a workout than mopping. You are sweating up a storm by the time you are done. It was getting my floors clean, it was, however the effort it took to get them there was more that I was willing to do. In the meantime, my mother became curious about steam cleaning as well, because, quite frankly, she too was tired of the mop and bucket. I figured there had to be a better option than this pumping my @## off stuff, so I started looking online and at first had picked out another brand of a “continuous steam” type steamer. I figured, ok, let me go to the local Vaccuum Store in town and see if they carry it. They did not carry that particular brand I was looking to purchase, however, they did carry the HAAN. Of course, I had never heard of this brand before, but they swore that it was much better than that other brand I was mentioning and assured me I would like it. So, on a whim, I bought the original Haan FS-20 (the yellow and white one). That was earlier this year. Let me tell you, I have not picked up a mop and bucket since like April of this year. It is such a pleasure to mop (if i can even call it mopping) the floors now. My tile floors are clean, and I mean, residue-free clean. I know it’s killing the germs, etc, and it is so easy, literally a child, or husband 🙂 could do this. I am serious. You just simply fill the tank of the boiler, and it boils the water to produce the steam. The floors are so clean and residue free, that if you are wearing nice clean socks, you’re liable to slide on the tile. Well, my mother became jealous of this NEW steamer because when I got the original HAAN, I had given her my Shark to use. And although she loved the concept as I did, the pumping was a pain for her as well. NOW, she wants what I got. Let me tell you, I tell EVERYONE about my steam mop. Matter of fact, I’ve gotten about 4 ladies at work steaming their floors now. One lady says, oh, I get down on my hands and knees”. I’m like, FORGET THAT! Get a HAAN. And she did. I got people steamin’ all over the place. ahahha. OK~ SO~ Fastforward~
I saw that they came out with this new “SLim and Light” contraption. HMMMMM, that looks really, really nice. I wonder how it works? well, I read and read and read reviews. NOW, I want one of THESE!!! (I still love my original Haan FS-20, but this looks even BETTER!!) Let me just say, these people that give this new Slim and Light a bad rap because it didn’t make their 30 year old warn out linoleum look brand new, or pick up all of their kids leftover food on the floor, or didn’t pick up a clump of dried stuck-on something that had been there for two weeks, COME ON PEOPLE!!! There are limitations to everything. First of all, IT IS NOT A VACCUUM, nor does it ever claim to be. YES, you do have to vaccuum first. Coming from a person that has two labrador retrievers, you must vaccuum. And you should anyway. It steam cleans, it does not pick up a pile of cheerios or doggie hair tumbleweeds. VACCUUM FIRST!!! Also, yes, steaming times on one tank of water will vary, depending on how fast or slow you push the steamer. Some people say, oh, one tank only lasted me through doing the kitchen, well, if you go really slow, like i do to make sure i’m getting it real good, yes, you will have to refill by the time you get to the dining room. Some people move the steamer around faster, covering more area quickly, and get all of their floors done on the one…
