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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey I'm a carpet cleaner myself, I try to inform customers that plug in wall equipment have very little power. It's mainly to maintain the light dirt. When it come to grout cleaning and remove long term stains on tile, you will need a professional machine. Most use a gas high pressure machine that reach up to 1500 psi to remove tough stains. Hope this helps you
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
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
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 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’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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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 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!
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 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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Definitely shouldn't use water or steam on an unsealed laminate floor. That's why hes getting all the buckling at the joints. Other than that, thank you for the review of the tool
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.
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!
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?
Uh oh! You could contact Shark about it. Maybe they'll help you under warranty. I bought extra pads from Best Buy, and haven't had issues getting them to stick to the mop (yet anyway). How are you washing them?
That's a great question. If the floor has a smooth finish on top, sure. If the floor is really rough or bumpy, the pads could snag on the flooring, and wear out quickly. If you try it, I'd like to hear your feedback!

That’s the best part! Just cleans with steam, and gently scrubs the floor too.

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

That's one my favorite features, just uses steam, no chemicals. It does an excellent job. I hope you like yours!
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?

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 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.

Hi did u experience the mop not spinning after work for awhile
Do you have to use filtered water; or will tap water is okay? Thanks.
What's the steam mop that can buff the floors you used? And does it do more?
So is there one that will both scrub and polish? It looks like the one in your video is discontinued. Recommendations?
How often do you have to change the pads? I would have a large area to clean.
Is the footage at 5:09 of the next day?? Or of the original mess?
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.

It does, slowly. After a couple uses of the shark, the floors were ready for fresh polish.
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?

What’s the best at home floor buffer and waxer
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.
what is the name brand of the other steam mop used in your review. the red one used for polishing??
So which item would clean and handle the finishing touches?
Should of made it when you can put some buffing pads on it and use to polish to a high gloss
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.
Please do a comparison with the YMop Twin-Turbo.
Isn’t this going to warp the wood?
what is that red mop??? i have been wanting to buy one of those!!

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.
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
Best product review ever !!! Ty
any idea why one disk would stop spiinning when in contact with the floor? spins fine if i lift it in the air/...
@@pandoramaxwell9006 unless the mop pad is shot, you could have a more serious issue with the mop. Might be worth contacting Shark on that one.
Definitely shouldn't use water or steam on an unsealed laminate floor. That's why hes getting all the buckling at the joints. Other than that, thank you for the review of the tool
Hi what temp wash do u put the pads on in washing machine pls and how long for
should also have something for Cleaning the baseboards
Nice job and a big help.
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.
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!
Just got the other version but no steam is coming out of mine, how come?
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?
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
But how do you drain the access water out of the reservoir
Wonderful. Just the information I needed. Very concise.
Thanks a lot!
Why you put wood polish on a floor that is obv not wood?
the mop scrubs do not stick to the velcro area after a few uses any ideas or replacements I need?
Uh oh! You could contact Shark about it. Maybe they'll help you under warranty. I bought extra pads from Best Buy, and haven't had issues getting them to stick to the mop (yet anyway). How are you washing them?
I just bought this and I can't figure out where the steam is supposed to be coming from...it's not working and it's driving me insane
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.
Does it work on aggregate floors too?
That's a great question. If the floor has a smooth finish on top, sure. If the floor is really rough or bumpy, the pads could snag on the flooring, and wear out quickly. If you try it, I'd like to hear your feedback!
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
Bissell spin or Shark Steam for ceramic tile with pet stains vs. manual scrub squeeze mop. I need help Thanks 👍
