Comment:
My steamfast mop worked fine at first. It was used very little as I have a cleaning service but it was great for spills and dog messes. The on switch on the base broke after a few months, and the company replaced the entire unit but I had to pay shipping back of the broken one. The second unit broke the same way after only a few uses. I gave up. I have extra pads if anyone wants them.

This steam mop lasted only 6 months before it didn't produce much steam; nor did it heat up. I wouldn't buy it again. The only thing that I liked was the long cord.

Cons
Breaks easy
Short cord
Best Uses
Laminate
Vinyl Flooring
Comment:
Used the product to clean laminate and vinyl flooring. Worked well, the cord was too short and it took quite awhile to heat. Unit broke after 1 1/2 years. We were very careful with unit and treated it well. Just isn't built to last.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
