Finally had my question answered, no chemicals just water👍🏾.
That’s the best part! Just cleans with steam, and gently scrubs the floor too.
Thank you for the detailed video. I love my Lift away Navigator vacuum….crazy powerful, so i wan to see what else they have in the floor cleaning space. Agree on a no-steam option. You are a great domestician….everyone needs one of you!
Thank you for posting this. I just unboxed my mop, I've yet to use it. Your commentary and tips are very welcome. 😊😊 Greetings from North Wales UK.
Thanks! Hope you like yours! Mine has gotten a lot of use since I bought it.

I caught my 2 mode on sale at Walmart and was initially happy with it. My floors are not filthy filthy by any means but it took me a month this time. I have a large hardwood floor great room and hall. Tile in kitchen and two bathrooms. Took a little to get some spills off the tile. Thought it was fine and clean and went back over my hardwood with a disposable mop pad and still a lot of dirt even after two cleanings with the Shark. I’m not impressed anymore. Taking it back tomorrow. I haven’t tried the tile. I am calling Stanley Steamer because my grout needs to be cleaned in some areas. They have always done my grandparent’s house and floors look like new after. I was not expecting professional results btw but something easy and quick. It did leave my hardwood full so I have to polish it. Curious as to an alternate floor cleaner now.
Your floors may have been dirtier than you thought. I just bought this today and I hadn’t cleaned my floors in a while so i have to go back over with it a second time because once the steam mop picks up a lot of nastiness it’ll stop cleaning properly so I’m thinking a few times of going over it should do the trick. My hard wood in front of my front door however feels amazing.
I just got this steam mop and compared to my older shark steam mops, this one cleans more like a self propelled mower 😊. I LOVE IT
I still use mine often! Works great.
If you're looking to remove the shine off of your floors then this is the mop for you. I got this for Christmas and was so eager to use it , really enjoyed how it steamed and the spinning seemed like a great idea. It's been around a month now and I've noticed my floors look dull and with no shine at all. I was thinking maybe it was the salt from the outside (salt to melt the snow) but I think it is definitely the mop. I'm really upset as my entire floor colour has changed and just looks terrible. Definitely think about what's happening with this mop it's scrubbing the finish off of your floors little by little like a sander.
Put it on low, the instructions recommend what setting to use on what floors
I noticed the same on the porcelain tiles. The floor looks dull. The grout needs to be cleaned as well, but this mop doesn't do the job. I had to go back and clean the grout again with another mop. Also I have noticed with the hot steam the grout is drying out and cracking.
Try using distilled water. Might take a few cleanings, also if any previous cleaners had wax in them. A traditional mop of Vinegar water mix can remove both. Then use distilled water steam from then on. Softeners/adds like scented booster beads, in laundry detergent might leave residue in pads too. Again a wash with vinegar water, or non softener detergent might help.
I live in an apartment with laminate floors, I can care less. ✌🏽
@@distortedsteeve2980 well goody gumdrops for you
Thank you for your Shark Steam Mop demonstration. I am considering. Currently I have a Bissell crosswave which works pretty good but it leaves streaks ans doesn't clean as well as I would like.
So far I think this is the best product for steam cleaner however, Shark needs to add two features to this steam mop. 1. Make it cordless 2.make it vacuum submtaneously
I love it! You have to sweep or vacuum or roomba before using! I can’t wait for winter no more salt. No more getting on my hands and knees to clean.
Great review, thank you, I can tell you are very clean and follow the same procedure to wash the pads as I do, I just add an extra rinse so to make sure it gets rid of all the detergent. I will buy this machine, it does a great job. Thank you.
Thanks for the nice comment! If you get one, I hope you're happy with it!
@@VacTech1 I definitely will, thank you 🙏
Single guys gotta be clean. Anything to get that catty purring around.
We wanted to buy a steam mop to save money on swifter wet and dry pads. We also wanted something natural that would still clean. After using it for several months I noticed the floors are clean however they are very dull and you can see swirls on the floor afterwards. I’d almost rather waste the money on swifter wet pads. They cleaned well and left the floor shinning. I wish Shark had a safe additive to add to the machine to leave a nice shine.
You can spray a little cleanser on the floor before you use this mop. or sometimes when I want a scent boost I'll spray the pad with lavender
I would like the Steam Mop to have some kind of notification that the water tank is empty. Also, an on off switch would not hurt. With regard to the water tank, the type of plastic used makes it a bit difficult to see the level of water although if you look closely the water level can be determined.
I agree!
Just look at the water tank 😂
@Matthew Fitzpatrick don't have this but I have swifter wet jet and I was spray and scrubbing until I realized nothing was coming out lol
Cool. I might get this. I just happen to realize cleaning with water saves on the chemical cost too. This looks like a unique product for floors meeting a sweet spot between cost and function because it's doing a little scrubbing. I can't imagine how long that would take me to do all that scrubbing.
I really like it. Simple, and handles basic mopping very well. Don't expect it to revitalize grout, but it'll take care of daily tracked-in dirt.
YAAAAAS! My mum’s Christmas present right here, thank you for the great review!!
Thank you for making this awesome content for fellow cleaning product enthusiasts! I appreciate the level of detail you provide 😊 While this is a handy product, the lack of polishing and potential for issues with unsealed or laminate are deal breakers. Love that you were able to give me the real answers I came looking for so that we can make informed buying decisions. 10/10
I just received the mop with only two cycles and no lights, but it's fine for me. I agree it's cumbersome removing the left-over water from the small tank. This was a design mistake as far as I'm concerned, But the good news is I was able to cut a small piece of clear plastic tubing and push it onto the end of a large syringe. I place the tube down into the tank and just draw out the excess water. My husband is a tube feeder so these items were readily available. This sure beats turning the unit upside down!!! By the way - the directions say to only use distilled water. Thanks for your review!
It doesn’t say to only use distilled water. It says recommend to use distilled water. Most people probably won’t bother and just buy a new steam mop in 4-5 years.
Just got mine 😍 thanks for the video and that vintage skinny vacuum is awesome 👌
How is it?:)
I also agree I thank y for this very detailed video. It did help me make a decision as I am already a steam mop owner of the previous pocket version. Man, I think you need to send this to the designers if you have not already Shark engineers need to see this and weak for an upgrade version. I agree with you on all the pros and cons of this device. Thank You for your video.
Great review. Does it have any indicator to let you know when it's out of water or you have to check to constantly check on the water level?
I just unboxed mine. Not cleaning corners and not polishing the floors is a deal breaker. It's going back. I bought this to simplify my life not complicate it more.
Curious what did you buy next ?
I'm taking mine back too.
I dont understand why you cannot use it to polish. Anyone know why?
@@gs24x7kärcher
A very helpful and unbiased review, thank you! The demonstration was particularly useful.
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help.
What is the cool-down pad you set the steam mop on? Thanks for the video! Very helpful and informative.
Thank you very much for making this video, it was very helpful .
Great video of pro and cons. Have you upgraded since this last steam shark mop.
i like your panasonic stick vac it hoovers really well and doesn't miss stuff, what model is it?
I’ve had my shark for four months, use it almost daily with my Bernese mountain dogs. Anyway, the steam melted the Velcro on the bottom of it. After phone call after phone call with shark I got replacements (they wanted me to Initially pay for it). Got my replacements today…. The Velcro has changed so they clearly know it’s an issue. It’s black now instead of white. Yet these things fit in the base of this thing terribly and they give you zero directions on how to make the repair. Sharks customer service is terrible to say the least, guy sounded half asleep and I got hung up on and no phone call back. Why are they taking all your info down if they’re not going to call you back if you get disconnected with all the waiting they make you do and live streaming to prove your machines broken. My next step is to epoxy these pieces in once this dries out. If that don’t work I’ll ship it to shark and they can shove it…
Thank you for this in-depth demo. I just picked this up today at Target for a steal. I am anxious to try on my tiles floors. I have hardwood floors and will try it there, too. If it makes it dull, I also have the Hoover steam mop as a backup
Hope you like it!
@@VacTech1 I'll let ya know! 👍
Walmart sells a box of replacement pads that also come with "dusting" pads that say they're for dusting and polishing the floors. However it doesn't specify if they can be used dry or not.
That's good to know! I'll have to look into them. If they can be used dry, that would be great, and solve my main grievance with the mop.
@@VacTech1 What did you find out about this. I would love to know! Thanks
That is my problem also... can you use the dusting pad without water? I was looking that up when I came across this site.
Great review, it covers the pros and cons. Very helpful. Thank you.
Ive had mine for 2 years and been putting floor polisher in it despite it saying not to. It works great and hasnt broken. Kinda weird that its a floor " Polisher" that not supposed to take floor polisher in it lol
I am returning mine. The powerful rotating scrubs bounce off the corners. I think I liked the old one better. Going to order that.
What a great review--you have a gift for this type of video. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great review. I have a high shine laminate flooring. Do you think this would be safe to use on it? I have a large dog that leaves a lot of drool mark that dry any look awful on the high shine floors.
Hi was going to purchase this today glad I saw your video it's no good as I need to get into corners. What the brand of the red mop you had please? Also never seen polishing done either how long dose that last on laminate flooring thanks
That square one is the Haan Multiforce Pro, but sadly it’s been discontinued. I have a review of that one on my channel as well.
Thank you for posting!! This video was very helpful. I bought this for my baby. I needed a way to clean the floors without chemicals 👍
That's one my favorite features, just uses steam, no chemicals. It does an excellent job. I hope you like yours!
I have a non-spin shark steam mop pro. However the plug is getting hot after cleaning a single room, the prongs on the cord are literally too hot to touch. My vacuum doesn’t make the outlets warm at all so I’m wondering if it’s the Mop. Or perhaps since I always run it on Scrub mode. I’m considering trying this spin mop as a replacement. Thanks for the review.
Yea when I turned mine on the pads don’t spin they stay still i don’t know if it’s because it’s broken or not but this is not acceptable it steams but doesn’t work
Hi
Can u plz tell if it dries the floor also?
I am looking for a steam mop that dries the floor alongwith mopping
I really like this one but seems like it is not drying
Can u plz explain
I have a black and decker steam mop and it doesn't make my floors dull
Which brand and product would you recommend better for a steam mop between Bissell and Shark? This is my first time buying a steam mop and I don’t know which one is better
I think this is the only department store steam mop with agitation (rotating pads to scrub the floor), so I would go with this Shark.
Great Video. I have to disagree on one thing. I like that the newer model sharks do not have the removable fill tank bec if stationary, it keeps the footprint lower. the smaller the fill tank footprint the lower i can get the mop under low items like a platform bed. I'm on my 3 rd steam mop and I like the more compact design to get into lower/tighter places that my previous steam mops could not. yes, its a pain to refill but I prefer it over the bulkier option.
what is the name brand of the other steam mop used in your review. the red one used for polishing??
I do not understand why you can’t use it without steam to polish the floor. Anyone understand this? I’m considering buying one but would really like it to do that as well. Is there a machine that does both?
I bought a Shark HydroVac and I'm thinking of taking it back and getting a steam mop instead. The HydroVac doesn't get up close to any walls which is frustrating
Yeah I think the Hydrovac needs a gen 2. Looking at it I passed on it, noting a few things I didn’t like, mainly poor edge cleaning and small tanks.
excellent review I do wish I had seen this prior to purchasing but it will suffice. I will be using it primarily on tile so hopefully it will hold up.
Does it work well with your tiled floor? Does it clean the grout?
Nice job and a big help.
Is it constant steam or do you control the steam? Where does the steam come from?
The steam comes through the pads. You can set the steam level with the controls on the front (3 levels), and its constant at the level you select during use.
I tried it but I hate it, it just floats on top of the floor, the old shark steam mops are better since you’re using your elbow grease to scrub the floors. I returned it and got a Bissell Crosswave and I don’t regret it!
Best product review ever !!! Ty
Looks like the spinning parts may be contributing to dust/left over debris particles being flown out by the sideways. Replacing the pads midway and refilling the tank sound cumbersome.
If your floor is very dirty, you clean it by vacuum cleaner at first before use this machine. the dust wont flown out, because steam will keep it on the pads
Hi did u experience the mop not spinning after work for awhile
How do you cool it down if you don’t have the non included pad? Just lay it down so it doesn’t touch the floor?
How often do you have to change the pads? I would have a large area to clean.
Please do a comparison with the YMop Twin-Turbo.
I just bought one for my Mom and she loves it!
Just got mine in the box.. unpacked ready to use on our laminate flooring only to find out it doesn't even spin
Oh no! Did you turn it on and then recline it? Sounds defective. Hopefully you can exchange it easily.
Great video as always. The Hann is still the one I would prefer to own, but I still haven’t been able to find one. May just have to go with this shark. Thanks for all the great info!
Thanks for the nice comment! Really happy with the Haan.
One for sale near me. New in box $200. Worth it?
@@rxonmymind8362 I had a coupon, but I paid $150 for mine from Best Buy. I think they retail for $160 or $170
I have ceramic tiles in my kitchen. Can I use grout cleaner by spraying in grout and using this?
what is that red mop??? i have been wanting to buy one of those!!
This machine isnt doing anything on my wood floor. Barely removing any dirt and stains. Ran it several times and nothing. But the water made all my floors super sticky. Can i put cleaner on the ground and run the scrubber over it?
Is the footage at 5:09 of the next day?? Or of the original mess?
So is there one that will both scrub and polish? It looks like the one in your video is discontinued. Recommendations?
What's the steam mop that can buff the floors you used? And does it do more?
Is there a device you'd recommend that cleans and can then be used to polish too please?
What other steam machine did you use for buffing.
What’s the name of the steam mop that you polished the floors with?! The red one?
@@debmattosky3021 that’s the Haan Multiforce Pro. I have a review video of it on my channel. Sadly discontinued.
@@VacTech1 thanks for the fast response!!
Do you have to use filtered water; or will tap water is okay? Thanks.
I want a cordless one. I just bought this one and took it out of box and I don’t think I got the right one
I feel like this thing is really going to take everything off the floor...dirt and sealant/polish. I would assume after running this thing you need to reseal/polish your floors again. It's not a tool I would use every few days like maybe a Swiffer or Bona mop.
@@mrjack8849 I think it’s great for daily cleaning, but if you have an additional floor polish you put down, it will strip it off. It’s pretty gentle but cleans with steam so it’ll take off extra finishes.
It's very pricey! $179!!! But I didn't see the STEAM part of the mop. what was the red mopper you used? Does it do the same as the Shark?
Inflation has affected the floorcare industry, I've noticed. Sad.
The other mop I used is the Haan Multiforce Pro. I have a video review of it on my channel. Thanks for watching!
So which item would clean and handle the finishing touches?
What’s the best at home floor buffer and waxer
Bissell spin or Shark Steam for ceramic tile with pet stains vs. manual scrub squeeze mop. I need help Thanks 👍
Have you tried the Shark over the Quick shine? Does the Shark strip it off like it did the Pledge?
It does, slowly. After a couple uses of the shark, the floors were ready for fresh polish.
I feel like the cons are just nitpick's as someone who has tile and just wants to remove filth I think this mop will be a great as a Christmas gift
Aside from it's inability to polish (not relevant to my needs) how well do you think this cleans compared to the Bissell SpinWave? I'm currently looking at both.
I like the Shark more, due to the steam function, but both clean pretty well. Neither perform miracles, but they’re great for maintaining a clean floor, and taking care of general stuck on messes.
So no solution (liquid cleaner)? Just water? Can we fill the tank with something?
Yep, only water. Cleans with steam only, no chemicals. Only water should be added to the tank on the machine.
Hi what temp wash do u put the pads on in washing machine pls and how long for
Wonderful. Just the information I needed. Very concise.
Thanks a lot!
Does anyone know how to fix the propellers mine are stuck but I don’t know how to access them to see what’s going on
Where did you get the cool down pad??? I need one of those! My last steamer discolored my floor!
It came with my Haan steam mop! It’s just a 1/2 inch foam pad, reminds me of those knee pads/mats used for gardening. There’s lot of things that would work, but I liked that my other steam mop included one.
@@VacTech1 Oh, thank you so much! I already have one of those garden knee pads! I just got this new shark steamer because my Bissell finally went to cleaner heaven... and I used a marble tile to keep from destroying my floors with the bissell after leaving a steam mark in the past. We have new floors now and did not want to make that mistake again! Thank you so much for getting back to me quickly! I really appreciate it!!! ❤️
Can you put cleaning solution in it. And what buffing mop did you use.
This machine uses water only. The other mop I used was the Haan Multiforce Pro. I have a review of on my channel if you’d like to learn more about it.
They likely just don’t want you to run it without water because the heating element would overheat. I wonder if you cracked it open, if you could splice a switch into the line powering the heating element for the steam and turn it off manually?
Good review, good information! Thank you!
Thank you!
PERFECT I FOUND SOMETHING PERFECT FOR VINYL PLANC WOOD FLOORING ! NOOOO CEMICALS JUST HOT WATER
Do you have any suggestions on what to use with matte finished tiles? Seems there is nothing that can actually clean these tiles without leaving marks/streaks after the fact. I have tried several different mops and steam cleaners but have not come across anything that leaves the floor actually clean. In the next home, I buy I would never again have a floor with matte tiles as they seem to show everything.
Thanks.
how abt only scrubbing, no steam , no water? or try change with other more better cleaning pads.
Should of made it when you can put some buffing pads on it and use to polish to a high gloss
Hi Vac, what vacuum cleaner are you using in this video?
That was a vintage Panasonic Arm stick vac.
I got the Tineco floor washer and it’s awesome. I was using the Bissell Crosswave but the Tineco is definitely my favorite. If possible pick one up and tell me what you think. Check out the video I did on it. Thanks for the video.
I'll check out your vid!
@@VacTech1 that would be cool. Maybe one day we could do a video on the shark spin cleaner vs the Tineco. I hope you aren’t to far away. I live in Ocean city Maryland.
should also have something for Cleaning the baseboards
Just got the other version but no steam is coming out of mine, how come?
Anyone know if this can safely be used on laminate floors?
No. Do not use steam on laminate or LVP. It will mess them up over time.
What’s the red machine called ?
Can you please let me know the name of your other machines your using to polish the floor
Sure. I use my Bissell Spinwave, and my Haan Multiforce Pro. They can agitate without steam/solution, so they're great for applying floor polish.
@@VacTech1 thank you for the information, many blessings.
@@VacTech1 how abt all in one mahince. steam & scrubbing/only steam mop/only scrubber polishing/multi steam cleaner ? our new machine have all these function in one unit. Already start sell in Europe, and soon will be US market.
Any plans for a numatic vacuum review?
I'll keep that in mind!
Pneumatic?
What was the other steam machine you used
Also after I start, steam comes out & I use for a couple of mins it goes back to standby mode automatically & stops
Only 50sec into this video I already added it to my cart.
Hahaha! Hope you enjoy it!
But how do you drain the access water out of the reservoir
Is it wobbly and heavy? I tried another brand (the one mentioned also) and it is very heavy. At the same time, it is like me being controlled by the mop instead of me controlling the mop.
No it's not. It's very light and takes minimal effort to move around. It moves around easier once the pads are wet too.
Let's be fair, your floor was clean at the start, looked like you put down white powder stuff to make it look dirty.
Find a real dirty floor. Also I ran a comercial buffing machine the first rule is stay away from the edges. Youll just shove crap into a corner you cant reach with this tool and still have to do it by hand.
No one said you have to use steam, you can fill a spray bottle with a good hardwood cleaner and spot spray then buff with the shark unit.
Shark made a buffer like the han we have one but you cant buy the polishers anymore. 2 and 3 head buffers have been around for years. Electrolux used to make one 40 some years ago.
