Anyone tried it? Any good? Any alternative suggestions?
Didn't Burlz order one, or did I dream that?

I ordered one last week and it has arrived and I do like it. I think the demo actually misleading it is defo NOT touch dry really quickly but I never thought for 1 minute it would be. It does mop well though and I like the fact it is a handheld too so I can do hob, oven, bathroom too. I do need to warn you though it is quite flimsy and when in mop mode, on some floors I hold it quite low as it sometimes drags and feels like it is gonna snap. All things considered it is something I will keep as I think it is useful but it won't change my life.
Hope that helps. I haven't tried everything yet so I can't comment on all functionality.

Interesting, thanks. It does seem a good price compared to the same model from elsewhere, though you can obviously get cheaper models for roundabout the 20 squids mark. Wasn't sure if it was worth the price. I just want something to get my llaminate floors clean, the handheld option would admittedly be a bonus as I could use it on my car wheels and stuff like that.
Youre not wrong AMN... but I ordered this one when it was the TSV

i only got it recently 'cos i was away on holiday over New Year but I've used it once and yes, its a KEEPER! its very light even when full and ther head is wet, has 3 steam settings, the microfibre pads actually fit and stay attached, theres a cable tidy and a good length of cable and you can flip the foot over and use both sides of the mop. All features not found in the H2O I had before and returned (although that was the big one).
I dont think any of these machines are as good as the demos make out but the Shark is pretty good.

was that summer?
I've got the Shark steam mop, and it's great. I debated about getting it (because I have in the past bought loads of carp that stayed in the cupboard for months before ending up at the tip), but I do use my Sharky. I use it on laminate and tiled floors, plus it is good for perking up a wool rug.
Hi. I have the TSV one too. But I can't work out how to turn the pad. Do you just turn the whole unit over or just the foot. Would be grateful for any clues please

you have to flip the body of the steamer too. so the front bit with the lights is facing your legs... unless ive got it wrong too....?

I have this green one Ali: http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.832294.cm_scid.KeywordSearch which I think has been a Hot Pick today. I really like it - it's lightweight, leaves little moisture behind and cleans well. Changing it from an upright to a handheld can be a bit of a faff (you need three hands!) But generally I've been really happy with it. I don't use it as a handheld any where near as much as an upright but it's great when I do, it's blasted years of grime off my inherited kitchen

Thanks. That's what I have been doing too.. Does the steam on yours come and go a bit or is it full on all the time? Mine doesn't seem to be.

Yes it does come and go a bit. Maybe prevents overheating?

What was that about being pissed and ordering - Have done exactly that and ordered this steam thing. Now, I also got talked into buying the extra mop heads from Mr Q Cut (he's doing that a lot lately, trying to flog other stuff before he puts the order through), and then Julia said something on air about not getting them to fit, - the demonstrator said something about using a drop of water . Can anyone explaiin that please, in time for me to sober up when this steam thing arrives.
Cheers! I'm not sure yet if I like it. My laminate kitchen floor came out really streaky and horrible. In the instructions it said that this could be caused by a build up of cleaning products and to rinse the floor with water and if that didn't work to try a vinegar solution. So I tried both and still got streaks so ended up going over it with sugar soap solution which did the trick and I didn't get any streaks when I steamed it. But what I don't know is how well it cleans because the floor was the cleanest it had ever been at that stage lol. I used the jet steam attachment and that made a good job of a skirting boards.

Hi, I have one of these and it's really easy to use. But the hard floor does take a while to dry and sometimes smears a little. I tried it on Karndean too but it made it very sticky - bit concerned the intense heat was melting the surface so not used it on that again. The most useful bit for me is the nozzle attachment that I use to clean the hob. I hate scrubbing that, but this has made it a breeze! It's easy to fill and heats up in no time at all. I'd recommend.
