"Great Product"
Did I get a deal! I just found this cleaner at my local resale store and I paid 10.00 for it!....I love it....When I bought it, it looked like it was used maybe 1 time, it even had the extra new pad attached in a baggie to the cleaner. It had a bit of water left in it, so I dumped that, but when I filled it up, it smelled like soap and was bubbley, so whoever used it the first time, must have used some type of cleaner with it! However, it is good now, and I love it...Bissell really should bring this one back.

"replacement"
Why did BISSEL discontinue this item? it performed as advertised- only one of such items in the consumer use--perhaps that is the problem----mine fell and broke at neck----no replacements have been found to date!!!!!!
OK WHAT DO WE DO NOW FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR TILE AND HARD WOOD FLOORS?????

"Why did Bissell stop making this, why?"
I love my Bissell Steam mop. I've had it for about a year now. It has changed my life, y'all.

I took the advice of many offered here and purchased extra cleaning pads. They are a tad tricky to get on, I put the steam mop on the counter so I can get the pad on properly. I think the little cord thing could have been better designed, but the pads have held up well, I wash them on hot and dry them on hot, I haven't noticed any shrinkage.

The steam mop cleans so well, I love that I can blow through my 1800 square feet of hard flooring (tile and sealed Bamboo) with under 2 reservoir tanks. I use distilled water and haven't had any trouble with the filter.

Pros - what's not to love?
- It cleans very well. Even dried baby food, bananas, and other sticky messes come up after letting it steam for a few seconds.
- small and compact, easy to store.
- Uses only water and cleans better than the popular yet difficult to use, Floormate.
- It's very quiet. I can clean after my kids are in bed, the soft steaming noise doesn't disturb anyone. Even down the hall, right outside their bedrooms.

Cons
- I'm tall so it's a little short for me, I find myself hunching over it a bit.
- It does take some effort to push, but it cleans overall more quickly than the powered Floormate.
- Like any machine, it can't get right up close to the walls, so every so often I've got to get down on my hands and knees and wash right up next to the baseboards and cabinets. But it does fit under the cabinets with its low profile head.

I'm so sorry Bissell isn't making this anymore, my mom, mother in law, and friends all want to purchase one.


"Great little cleaner"
I use this on laminate floors. It seems to be the only type of cleaner that doesn't ruin the floors with too much water. i love it.

"Loving it all over again"
After a hiatus from housekeeping (we lived overseas where I was lucky enough to have a maid), I'm back to mopping my floors. I've dusted off my Bissell steam mop and am reminded all over again why I like it so much.

It cleans. It disinfects. All without any nasty chemicals.

Important info since Bissell no longer makes this mop - you can order both replacement pads & filters at Bissell.com I also saw both pads & filters on Ebay as well as Amazon - but the prices were higher(!) Bottom line, there are still replacement parts available. I'm tempted to stock up so I can keep using this for a few more years!

I loved the tip about wetting the pad before putting it on the mop, will try that out next time I mop!
