As with anything, there are good things about this product and some things I would improve upon. I've had it a couple months now, and absolutely adore it. I've been able to get rid of my old vacuum and mop (though I kept my Roomba... a necessity for anyone with dogs as far as I'm concerned). It took me a little bit to figure out how to get the steam started because the instructions aren't really clear on it. Turns out my problem was that the water filter has to be completely flush with the machine to work, which I mention below.
Pros:
--Vacuum works well. I primarily wanted this to replace my non-steam mop, which would leave strips of dog hair and lots of water residue on the floor. This does great at picking up between Roomba cycles. I love my Roomba, but it's hit or miss on what I call "getting drunk" and stuck places mid-cycle, or running out of battery before a full clean.
--Fast, light steam cycle. I have bamboo floors which are sensitive to moisture, but the machine uses very little water and the floor dries quickly. It doesn't take the machine long to warm the water for steam.
--Gets stuck on spots up easily. I used to have to use elbow grease with my old mop, but this will lift the spots up if you leave it on the spot a little longer than the rest of the floor.
--Disposal tank cleans easily. Since water is involved, the debris picked up doesn't empty as a normal vacuum contents would. However, this is very easily negated by the ease of rinsing the tank in the sink. Honestly, I prefer this anyway so you don't get gross stuck on who-knows-what living in the tank.
--4 mop pads are the perfect amount. I never run out. I usually have 1-2 to wash, leaving me with at least 2 ready to go at any given moment.
--Compact design. Doesn't take up much storage space.
To be aware of:
--The filter that works with the steam/water portion dislodges occasionally. It's minimal, but enough to stop the machine from producing steam. It's really easy to push it back in, and the amount of time the 2 in 1 has saved me makes it worth the minimal trouble. I have an extra child-proof fridge lock that I'm going to attach which will eliminate the problem altogether.
--I can't speak for those who aren't cleaning floors frequented by 2 large dogs, but sometimes the vacuum portion gets clogged with dog hair. The whole bottom portion of the vacuum comes off and it's super easy to clear the clog. Can't say the same for my old Dyson, where I had to get creative with pipe cleaners.
--It's a little difficult to clean rugs. I have low pile rugs, so I can't speak about more carpet-like rugs. The corners of my rugs aren't secured to the ground, so it's not the easiest to keep them secure when steaming them. The machine doesn't push as easily on rugs, either. HOWEVER, I got this so I wouldn't have to scrub the rugs on my hands and knees so this is something I can overlook. It takes next to no time to do the hardwood in my house, and not too long for the rugs. (I'll also say that if you look at the pictures of what this actually is, you can most likely deduce that it's not going to glide like a vacuum would on rugs.)
--You have to press down the button on the handle in addition to the steam level in order to have it steam. Not a huge deal, but after a bit your hand gets tired of gripping. It really only takes me 10 minutes to do the entire house, so, again, not a big problem for me. If you have arthritis, this may not be your best option.
Sorry, we're having trouble showing recommendations right now. Please try again later.
