"I LOVE this little machine!!!"
I purchased this at an overstock-type store, as I hadn't seen it at my local Target. I got it for $25 and it is WELL worth it!

I use it daily in my kitchen. I have one very messy child (autistic), another child, and a dog (and the husband!). I love this for cleaning up before, or after, dinner. My dog frequently gets into our trash and makes a mess on the floor. This is wonderful for that!

I'd been wanting a hard floor machine cleaner/vacuum for quite some time, and I'm glad I waited for this! I love how it's rechargeable (it's never died during use) so there is no cord. It's also light, which is great. I'm 5'2" and it's just the right height for me. I could see how someone over 5'5" may have an issue.

This is *not* meant for all-over house cleaning, as some have mentioned, nor is it meant for really big messes (as in if you don't sweep/mop your floor for a long time...I won't mention names!). It's more for daily quick work. It is also *not* made to "suction" up the wet cleaner...not sure where the reviewer got that idea. I actually LOVE not having a wet suction, as all the reviews of other, more expensive "flip type" cleaners said the dirty tanks were a big mess. I love how I can just pop the pads in the laundry and rotate the two. I've found replacement microfiber pads made for other machines at both Target (Method brand) and Ace Hardware.

I do NOT use the Bissell floor cleaner it came with - it does make a nice, shiny floor *very* dull. Instead I use my Armstrong floor cleaner. Any floor cleaner will do. I do not have issues with wet leaks. I do remove the pad, if it's the least bit wet, when storing, or it will mildew it and the floor. If it's a new, clean pad, I can leave it on there.

I can suck up pretty large things. I sometimes have to pick up the machine (but it's light) as I'm drawing it back when vacuuming, because if the pad is wet, it will drag through it. I don't find this to be a big issue.

It's so light and easy, my 10 y.o. can do it and he loves it so much better than using the sponge mop.

I haven't yet used it on bathroom floors, but I'm sure I'll have good results with it.

Oh, and the suction is great, and the dry, dirty tank is very easy to empty. I think the reviewers that said it's a problem haven't attached the tank on the machine properly - or their filter is off kilter.

This was the best mother's day present I ever rec'd!

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention how nice this gadget gets under my cabinets. My regular vacuum won't, and it's even hard for my sponge mop. This is great, plus with the pads covering the sides, it gets stuff along the baseboards also.

I read a review where someone tried this on carpet and said it didn't work. It says right on the box it's for hard floors!

I now have 4 pads and it's nice to keep them rotated. This tool has been very helpful with family members, and the dog, tracking in mud and grass.

"Second one.."
I ordered this one for my Mom for Mother's Day. She LOVED mine so much that it was all she talked about. Super easy to use for picking up crumbs and dirt off of hard surfaces. The wet mop comes in handy for dirty footprints from my dog. My Bissell is my best friend some days..I love this thing! The let down, I paid $90 CAN for mine at WalMart, then when I went to the website for Bissell looking for pads for it, found out it was $39.99!! I could have saved a lot of money if I'd gotten it here first!

"Great Product"
I bought this because I hate to sweep! The vacuum works great, it picks up everything without a problem. Very easy to empty the canister, and even has a filter which I just tap a few times against the edge of the garbage can and it gets fairly clean. (you can get the rest off with your fingers) You have to line it up just right for it to click back into place, though that has not been a big deal.
The mop is great too. Cleans up everything. I have had no problems with my solution canister leaking, or spilling water/solution anywhere. The best part of it all is when you are done, you can take the mop pad off the bottom, and throw it in your washing machine and dryer. It comes out like new and there are no expensive refills to buy.
I would recommend this if you want a great product to cut your mop/sweeping time in half! and your budget.

"Love it! "
This is what I use it on - 800 sq. feet of laminate and a tile entry way. I have 3 cats and 2 small dogs. This is by far the best product I have used to keep my floors looking and smellling clean between weekend scubs. The vacuum is great for picking up pet hair, cat litter and other messes. The mop performs a little weaker than the swifer mop but still its better than nothing. What I love most is that it is ECONOMICAL. No batteries, no bags, and no overpriced disposable mop pads. I found that changing the pad after I vacuum and before I mop gives me better results, so you may want to buy extra pads.

"Leaks!"
I got this as an alternative to the swiffer, because the pads are washable. However, it leaks! Despite the claim that the solution can be stored in the tank, i've had to clean up my laundry room from it leaking twice. Also, if the bottom section is tilted the wrong way while you empty the vaccum, the mop solution leaks.

I have read and reread the instruction manual, and there is no troubleshooting tips for this. Don't waste your money. Buy a swiffer, a Hoover floormate, or stick to your mop.
