![]() ![]() It has a unique design, with two circular pads that spin as you move the mop around the floor. The Steam & Scrub was one of the top performers when cleaning egg and honey but was toward the bottom of the pack for mustard. The button lets you select between light, regular, and deep modes depending on what you're cleaning. While we still wouldn't recommend using the Shark Steam & Scrub S7001 on laminate, wood, or other water-and-heat-adverse floors, we liked the control it offered with its three steam levels. Pros: Three steam levels, good cleaning performance, LED lightsĬons: Expensive, shorter cord length, small tank capacity, hard to clean in corners That's important if you don't want water sitting in the tank between uses. However, the disassembled pod is easier to empty. This isn't as cumbersome when the pod is detached, but it's not as easy to fill as the PowerFresh Deluxe when it's on the mopping base. The location of the tank's fill hole is a bit awkward because you have to lay the pod on its side to pour water in, using a provided cup. We also felt the PowerFresh Pet was a little stiff to maneuver when we used it in its mop form. When the pod is separated from the base so you can use the attachments, it weighs about 4.5 pounds. This is the heaviest steam mop we tested. ![]() We were especially impressed with how the grout brush dislodged a fair amount of gunk from under the rim of a supposedly clean sink. The tools lock firmly into place so they don't twist when you're using them. There's a bag for all the attachments, which makes them easier to store. You also get a scraper, grout tool, and fabric steamer. The bristles are different colors so you don't mix them up, which is a nice touch. The PowerFresh Pet comes with three brushes, two for the bathroom and one for the kitchen. It should serve you well if you're mainly using it as a floor mop, but the real reason to buy this model is all its attachments. Like the PowerFresh Deluxe, the PowerFresh Pet comes with two reusable microfiber pads, a smooth one for everyday use and a textured one for tougher messes. It did leave some traces of sticky residue in our honey tests though. While marketed for pets, the tools are useful in animal-free homes too.Īn all-around good cleaner, the PowerFresh Pet earned high marks in all our tests, doing the second-best job on egg and mustard. Pros: Lots of attachments, good cleaning abilities, power button to start steam, two steam levels, detachable podĬons: Awkwardly placed water tank opening, heavyĮquipped with nearly a dozen attachments, the Bissell PowerFresh Pet Lift-Off has brushes, scrapers, and nozzles aimed at a variety of tasks. If you like scent while you clean, there's a tray for included scent discs that release fragrance while steaming.Īssembly was quick and straightforward, though you do need a screwdriver.Īttachments: Extension hose, grout brush, flat surface tool, flat scraper, angle concentrator tool, three bristle brush, cleaning cloth, window squeegee, fabric tool It also stands on its own for easier storage. The Deluxe is responsive and maneuverable. The 19-ounce tank should give you around 25 to 30 minutes of cleaning, so you may not want to fill it up for quick jobs. One drawback is that you can't remove the tank to empty it if you have water left over after you're done cleaning. An accompanying measuring cup is used to fill the generous reservoir. It takes about 30 seconds for the machine to heat up after you press the power button. ![]() There are light and heavy steam outputs that you change with the press of a button. This is a hands-free operation, though you do need to turn the mop off first so you don't release steam while your foot is close by. It's a bit like a scrub brush with bright orange bristles that you don't have to get on your hands and knees to use. But what really improved the cleaning performance was removing the mop head to use a brush that's attached to the body of the mop. Two washable microfiber pads come with the PowerFresh, one of which is nubbier and meant for spills and stains that are harder to clean. (No steam mop we tried was able to.) It easily cleaned honey without leaving a sticky residue behind. However, it did well with the mustard, though it couldn't remove the set-in stains on some surfaces. The PowerFresh Deluxe performed well in most of the cleaning tests, except for the egg yolk, which all the machines struggled with to some extent. It doesn't come with any attachments, but if you're just looking for a floor cleaner, it's a solid choice. Lightweight yet powerful, the Bissell PowerFresh Deluxe checks a lot of boxes without being overly pricey. Pros: Good cleaning capability, attached brush for stubborn stains, power button to start steam, two steam levels, large tankĬons: No attachments, water tank isn't removable ![]()
