The Shark SteamPickUp 3-in-1 Steam Mop has garnered a 4.3 rating on Amazon, and over 300 of them have been bought in the past month. One shopper wrote: “Two dogs at home and lots of water, grass, etc, even after wiping feet and removing shoes.
“Tried without vacuuming first, as that was the whole point of buying, and didn’t disappoint. Very clever machine, easy to set up, use and clean. Just like vacuuming without having to scrub the floor wasn’t tiring after using it, as it normally feels after mopping. Just go over the stain a few times, and it’s all gone.
Picks up 99.8% of bits on the floor, which is good enough for me; life’s too short to worry about every little speck. The water tank would be better if it were a bit bigger, but not essential. Best piece of kit I’ve ever bought, very happy so keeping it. Look forward to cleaning the floor now, to be honest, as it’s so easy to do and looks and feels a lot cleaner. Perfect for a home with dog(s).”
Another added: “This is absolutely fantastic. I don’t have to sweep the floor before steam cleaning. Just fill with cold water, choose your heat setting and go. The mop glides across the floor, no pushing necessary, picking up all bits of loose gunk as it goes. The roller has a soft/rough surface, and so scrubs the floor as the steam is released. It is best to clean it out after each use when the bits of gunge are easy to wash under the tap, and I always run the roller under the hot water and wash away any loose bits. Dry the roller on its own and put it back when dry. Perfect and no effort required.”
A third wrote: “Game changer for me. Easy to use, does the job quickly. Lightweight. Comes apart for easy cleaning. Good cord length. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a steam cleaner for vinyl and laminate floors.”
A handful of others rated it four stars, for example: “Very useful when you have children and big dogs, easier to clean up after ‘accidents’. It does leave the floors quite wet afterwards, though.” Another said: “Very impressive bit of kit does exactly what it’s supposed to, separating wet and dry dirt in the compartments. Easy to clean, and the storage unit makes it neat and tidy to put away in a cupboard. Only dropped a star due to price.”
