Bissell, Steam Mop, Hard Floor Cleaner, 100% Chemical Free Cleaning, Safe & Effective, Ready To Use With Water Only, Environmentally Friendly, 360 Degree Swivel Head, Washable Microfiber Mop Pads, Quick Release Cord Wrap, Slim, Lightweight Design.
Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. No harsh (or expensive) cleaners means no fumes or residues to irritate lungs or muddy delicate finishes, while the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water leaves floors dry in just seconds. Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there’s no lag once you refill it.
The Steam Mop’s low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. Other thoughtful design touches include a quick-release cord wrap and easy-carry handle, as well as a built-in water filter to protect from the minerals and impurities in hard water. (An indicator lets users know when the filter need to be replaced.) Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Measuring 6 by 11 by 45-1/2 inches, the Bissell Steam Mop weighs less than 7 pounds and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews
The best solution
I’ve owned the older white model for over a year now – the old terry pads didn’t bother me as far as shrinking went, but I sure wore holes in them. The new microfiber pads are a nice improvement, easier to get on and off, and appear to be more durable.
I’m a big fan of this product and was very disappointed when Bissell appeared to discontinue it – I’ve wanted to purchase one for my mother and mother in law.
So, for the review:
Nothing cleans your floor better than good old fashioned Cinderella-style scrubbing. But given that I have around 1800 square feet of hard flooring, three kids, and four dogs – my knees just can’t take that kind of torture cleaning something that is just going to be spilled on, puked on, or smeared with banana in a matter of minutes.
I have tried all the other leading brands of hard floor cleaners, and this one is by far the simplest to use and does a decent enough job that it’s a regular in my household cleaning routine.
Pros:
- Uses nothing but water. No chemicals, no expensive solutions. I do purchase distilled since we have hard well water and the filter on my old model hasn’t needed replacing.
- Cleans my ceramic tile and bamboo floor quickly and effectively. The water dries very quickly. My tile never looks streaky, but the bamboo flooring does a bit.
- Piece of cake clean up. Toss the mop head pad into the laundry, wrap the cord up and you’re done. Small and compact, easy to store.
- It’s very quiet. I can clean after my kids are in bed and the soft steaming noise wouldn’t bother even the lightest sleeper.
Cons:
- The cord really is too darn short, but I’ve remedied that with an extension cord.
- It’s a little short for me. This gripe isn’t very fair because EVERY mop, broom, and vacuum are too short for me (except for the Dyson) – I’m tall. But I will mention here that short women aren’t the only people who clean! My 5′10″ self and my 6′3″ husband both have to hunch over to mop the floor with this. It’d be lovely if the handle could extend.
- Doesn’t do a great job on grout – but nothing does. I’ve decided I just hate tile and grout period.
- It does take some effort to push, but cleans overall more quickly than the Powered Floormate.
- Like any machine it can’t get right up close to the walls and though it’s mophead fits under the cabinets, it simply cannot clean right in the crack where the floor meets. So every so often I have to get down and hand scrub those areas.

Highly, highly recommend for regular use. Does a great job at steaming the dried on grime and gunk my kids regularly paste the house with.
A viable solution
I actually do like it! There are only 8 gazillion options on how to best clean your floor, none which truly compare with getting down on your hands and knees. But, for the TYPICAL user who needs an easier solution to a pretty clean floor a couple times a week and particularly prefers not to use chemicals this actually works quite well. I am not disappointed.
I will make a couple notes though:
I guess I wrongly assumed that since it’s using “steam” water it is going to be sanitizing as it goes along. After reading the manual though it states to actually disinfect an area you have to let it steam in that spot for 15 seconds. Obviously to do a whole floor would take the afternoon. But, okay, if you drop a piece of chicken it’s a nice option I suppose.
Also, I was really hoping it would leave a streak free clean but the floor does end up with a bit of standing water and does leave some streaks. Maybe if you don’t hold down the lever quite so much it would just release less water. Of course, though, then it’s not steaming as much either.
Additionally, the lever is a bit tough to hold down for extended periods of time so not for those users with weak pointer fingers. No biggie though.
The cord is pretty short, so I could see that bothering some people. Although I like short cords. Less opportunities to fall and break my neck.
So, in the product’s favor, it does a decent job which is what I was most concerned about. If I let it steam for 3 seconds or so right over something stuck on the kitchen floor it takes it right off. Also goes under the ledges and stuff nicely. The pads are easy to take on and off and it’s quiet.. Also heats up very quickly (a few seconds) and the water lasts long enough for me to do the whole kitchen and dining room. And it’s heavy enough you don’t feel like you have to bear down on it like you do the Swiffer.
One last thing though. It isn’t a super quick clean, in my opinion. I almost think a mop is a little faster because with this thing you kind of want it to go slower so that it can really steam. So, it isn’t necessarily saving me much time. But it is saving hassle, chemicals, and my back!
For someone who understands that that there are no quick fixes in life and they will never find anything that can replace true blood, sweat and tears of doing the job by hand – it would be a good find. It is a nice thing to have and a decent close 2nd.
