Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop (S3601) - Powerful Hard Floor Cleaner for Tile, Wood & Laminate - Perfect for Kitchen, Bathroom & Pet Hair Removal

Years ago, a friend convinced me I needed to get a steamer mop. At the time, there were lots of different models available, and I decided to go with the Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop. It probably wasn't the most expensive model, but it was also NOT the cheapest, bottom-tier variety. Overall, it performed really well--the body of the mop is solidly constructed, the cord is long enough, the water reservoir is appropriately sized and fairly easy to fill, and the three settings allow you to choose how much steam you need, based on what type of flooring you are cleaning (and how heavy duty the job!) The mop pad has a fine-textured microfiber on one side, and is more heavily textured on the other. My *only* criticism was that I sort of wished the mop came with more than one pad. (ie--I never really liked mopping my kitchen and my bathroom with the same mop pad--which might technically be silly (since the whole point of a steam mop is that it can sanitize the floor), but sometimes there is a subjective element to cleanliness. Also--I found that you could *buy* a second mop pad separately, but they were a little expensive for what they were, IMO.)Fast forward to the present--I moved across the country and accidently left my trusty steamer mop behind. Shark is a pretty big brand, so I thought I would have no trouble finding a new one at Walmart or any other big box store. WRONG. Apparently steam mops are no longer a thing? Instead, all I could find was one VERY cheap-looking model (think of a Swiffer with a cord) and a whole NEW array of weird hybrid vacuum mops. I was not impressed. Thankfully--a quick search on Amazon led me to a "Refurbished" version of what I had before. It's the exact same product, (except the mop pad is a slightly different material) and it *appeared* to be like new condition in a brand new box. (I even had to assemble it from 3 pieces.) It works great, and I'm very happy with my purchase.Great steam mop for tile. Really helps get grout clean. Not too heavy. A friend who cleans homes recommended it as she knows our whole house is tile. What a life saver!Easy to use cleans great,worth the money.Easy to use and does a great jobCleaning tile floorsDoes a good job cleaning the floorNAThe ONLY steam mop I have tried that is capable of cleaning my textured floor tile. All other methods/mops would push the dirt into the textured portions of the tile, requiring me to "float" it out with water and a brush. The nubby, long-fingered side of this mop + the heaviest steam setting actually pulled the dirt out of the textured parts! I will still have to clean the grout by hand, but this is already making life with pets and tile floors SO MUCH EASIER. It is easy to put together, too. Unlike my old Bissell, which only lasted a year, this mop makes steam with the mopping motion, so no more sore fingers trying to hold the steam button down! Be aware, they recommend distilled water or a filtering water tank, which this item did not have. As I have family members with asthma and allergies, I appreciate disinfecting with steam as opposed to bleach or scented cleaners. Also know it is safe for my pets and kiddos. Dries very fast!Put it to the test, my kitchen floor was really dirty and I put it to the big test. I vacuumed before using and it was really dirty and it did a good job. I went over it a couple of time to make sure it was clean and it did a good job I was really impressed . So far so good and we will see how long it lives. I have two boxers dogs that love to play in the mud and drool. I also have cats that like to puke on my nicely cleaned floors and rugs just after it has been cleaned. This unit will make my life a hole lot easier. No more getting on my hands and knees to scrub the floor.Lo compramos en Julio y ya no funciona .Cómo puedo hacer valida la garantía ?Excellent value. Buy the rebuilt one... It comes with 3 covers instead of one!
