Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I cook often and my kitchen floor seems to collect it's own share of whatever I'm making. I always mop but conventional mops and buckets just never made much sense to me as the water and detergent gets dirty in no time and then you have to keep using it or change the water every 5 minutes. However, I had never heard of a steam mop until I read a review from Amazon's #1 Reviewer who had gone to the trouble of testing over a half a dozen different brands. I took her recommendation (thanks Alana!) and added the Eureka to my Amazon wish list. Luckily for me, my downstairs neighbor (and friend) bought it for me for Christmas. I decided to do a video review because I thought that it would be helpful for other folks to see what it looks like and how it works. A couple of things that I forgot to mention: * My mop came with two cleaning pads * The instructions warn that if you machine wash and dry the pads they might shrink a little (they were right) * If you have very hard water you might want to use distilled water (which I do) * You should not use any cleaner or detergent inside of the steamer * Next to the green power light is a red light that warns you when the water tanks needs refilling I thought that my video review was going pretty well until the steamer scared my neighbor's toy Yorkie (she had brought the dog along with her) and the puppy started to bark at it. Oh well... I hope that it is helpful to you anyway. IMPORTANT NOTE: I want to mention that the first time that I used the Enviro Steamer it didn't work correctly. The water came out quickly (it was empty in 5 minutes) and wasn't very hot. It got my floors really wet and not very clean. I refilled it, let it warm up longer than before (8 minutes) and the steam just poured out. I was able to get my floor really clean and the water lasted for about 20 minutes. I have now heard from several people that had the same experience so I thought that I would add this note. If you are having this problem you might want to give your unit a couple of tries before sending it back.
