Can I just say I have spent hours watching your content. It’s engaging, informative, and covers an underserved niche on CZcams. Your testing methodology seems to be practical and your experience in home cleaning really lends a lot to your credibility.
Agreed...I literally send these reviews to everyone when asking me questions about buying any kind of floor cleaner 😊😊😊
I agree!👍🏻
Same!!! When searching for a review I get so excited and happy when he has one for what I’m looking into.
Oh wow - thank you!
This....is the review I have been waiting for for 2 years. Thanks
I love how you do your reviews! Love that you even start with a definition of what a stea mop is because I only had a vague idea about it. Love that your explanations are thorough yet concise. Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing :)
This is like the best review I’ve ever seen. So informative and you showed us what we needed to see. Thank you
I have had the inexpensive steamer for years. I love it.
When you showed me the attachments.
I am about to upgrade.
Thank you!!
Was watching the eureka vs bissell affordable vacuum vid and was hoping to find a shark steam mop review that was just as thorough. You were again the first option and did not disappoint
Nicely constructed video and very helpful. I received a Shark Genius for Christmas and am very pleased with it. Our home is mostly hardwood and tile, and the Genius cleans efficiently, effectively, and without residue as with our previous microfiber manual mop and cleaner. The steam selector allows me to use low steam for hardwood and high levels for tile, and the quick release mop pad is literally a genius invention that saves time and my old back from bending over to change the pad. I do use the steam blast function to sanitize the floor and drain in our walk-in tile shower. I highly recommend it for those with multiple types of flooring in their homes.
I owned the Shark S3501 for 3 years and used it regularly. It did an amazing job at mopping but I would like to add something that might save anyone purchasing some trouble. In the long run the small hoses that provide steam to the mop head will begin to leak and the mop will start dripping water all over your floor as you mop. Also, the cleaning pad although not as easy to put on and take off did a great job until after a number of uses will start to slip off. The steam will begin to wear out the velcro tabs and they will become useless in securing the pad onto the mop head. It became very annoying when trying to mop and you constantly trying to re attach the pad. This happened to all our pads (6) in normal rotation in a 1200sqft space. If not for these issues I would purchase again. We will be trying the Shark Genius next. The pad attachment seems to be a direct fix to the previous model and only time will tell if it will begin to leak or not. Truthfully the pad slipping off is enough of a reason to spend a little more for a better engineered model. That being said, I cannot speak on the Shark Genius but will soon find out. Hope this helps anyone still unsure in their decision.
Thanks for this input.
How is it working out?
hows it going thus far? O:
Shark genius update?
Any news?
Subscribed after watching just 1 video. You know exactly what to say in terms of what we want to know. Covered every point thoroughly, you kept in mind to refer to them as the cheaper or expensive one and also their actual name. Summed it up very well AND kept it all very simple. Just amazing. Best review.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! I am in the process of wanting/needing a steam mop!😊. I’ve been dizzy with trying to decide best option..cleaning ability and price. You made my choice so easy now! God Bless you sir ☝🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I love this mop🌼 I have a crawler all over my floors and I feel better knowing there are no chemicals used when cleaning. The tank is a great size!
I’ve got the purple one; bought it a couple years ago for bathroom tiles. Glad to see it’s still holding its own on reviews! ☺️
How is it on grout?
I was wondering if it could be used vertically
I would really like a general steam mop comparison, especially ones that can be used with the attachments by hand (similar to the Lift Away Pro here) and also whether you think a steam mop or one of the floor washers, like the crosswave for example, are better. Thanks, as stated several times here, your reviews and comparisons are simply the best
Thanks so much! I was thinking the purple one until saw the genius and was confused and came right to you to see what you thought
A fantastic reviewer with objective information. Thanks so much, Vacuum Wars!
My pleasure!
Crazy that they changed the tank to be a premium feature. I had 2 when they first came out and the tank was removable to do other tasks, what they're calling" lift away" for a hundred bucks. They also only lasted a year so... there's that. But I love the new feature of the mop head folding out, that's much more sanitary
Your channel is what I turn to now when i need to buy a new floor cleaner wether it was my robot vac, a new upright vacuum, and now a steam mop. THANK YOU!
Great to hear! Thank you!!!
Dude. Your channel is straight up excellent.
This is the review I was waiting for!
My family has the purple model and we have had it for 12 years and it still works great
Ours is the original one over 13 years and I just used it working great still
Love your videos. Perfectly executed. Would you rather have one of the shark stream mops or the vacuum mops?
Thanks
Thanks for uploading in 4k. high quality video and very informative
I have the Lift Away Pro. I *love* that thing, and beats the hell out of mopping. Sure you have to clean the pad all the time, but compared to the bucket and work of a regular mop, not to mention the ultra fast drying times of a steam mop, I'd certainly buy it again.
How long did it last you?
FINALLY I found a proper reviewer that shows testing and is unbiased. thank you sir.
I appreciate that!
Got the S1000 with the Shark Apex "TruePet" bundle.
Even though it laughably simplistic juxtaposed against the approaching overengineered Apex, it still works well and does make a noticable difference on our hardwood floors, and I am pleased with it.
I agree on both your choices.. it is a lot of fun to clean with steam, they are GREAT for stainless, granite and quartz...I do NOT recommend using ANY steam on real finished wood bc it tends to exacerbate any scuffing on the finish and it will make those scuffs more visible by getting water under that surface. I've used both units, but the white one opens up a world of use: the thrust of the little nozzle attachment offers crevice cleaning on a whole new level.. it even makes ease of bigger projects with grease like viking stoves and tough grout lines
Great review - helped me decide. Thank you!
Not sure if this is a coincidence or if your video blew up around the same time I watched it, but the purple one you recommended as #1 went from $60-70 to $135+ and out of stock almost everywhere in my area. I just bought the genius one, it's apparently on sale right now for $100 on amazon.
Your videos are great. I like seeing the performances and WHY these different features are worth the extra couple bucks.
I have Bissell power fresh steamer over 3 years now still using daily. So thankful for it now!
Thanks for this I have the teal one for my apartment really enjoy the Convenience of it
I like the video, however I would like to see a comparison with other brands...not just Shark. Maybe Shark vs. Bissell Powerfresh steam mop since it's a top seller and has higher customer reviews?
I've had both and still prefer my shark steam mop as well as the vacuum
Bissell mops break in less than 2 years and bissle customer support will not honor the warranty for the product or the parts.
Thanks for this! Decided today that I wanted a steam mop. Glad to see reviews 👍🏻
Glad I could help!
Hi, I love your videos. They really help me when deciding which vacuum to purchase and what is worth the money. I would love to see a comparison between the Bissell steam mops and the shark steam mops if possible. Please
I just realized something, if you make a mess you always have a perfect excuse:
"Honey it is for a video..."
Love you honest opinions 👍
😹
I got the purple Shark steam mop a couple of weeks ago and it has been great at cleaning my floors. Just saw you had a review on it and that made me feel better knowing I made a good choice.
Thanks for the great content, I've been following your channel mainly for robot vacuum content (went with the Roborock S4 when it was on sale) and you have never let me down.
Thank you so much for the hard work.
That teal looking one came with my Apex vacuum and it is still in it's box.
Please do a comparison with Bissel and other brands too! Thanks
I’ve been obsessed with your channel for a few years now, thank you for all of your hard work! Just wondering if you’d ever consider doing a review on a Workhorse aka Amway Cleartrak vacuum. I’m extremely curious how it would compare to Shark and Dyson (even though it’s actually a ripoff of Dyson’s original design). Thanks!
Please do a video comparing different steam cleaners with attachments that can be used on furniture, kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Thank you!
Finally I would like more vids on steamers 🙌🙌🙌
amazing stuff
This was really very helpful and exactly what I needed. Thank you for your video review, I have made my selection!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m wishing that Shark would bring back the original Steam Mop but I’m liking the S3501 model.
Thanks for the reviews.
Thank you! I have a Shark steam mop S1000, the one with only one side, and I like it very much! I wanted to gift one to someone who has a lot of wooden floor space, and, thanks to you, I see that they are all great products, so any one I decide on will be great. However, I do like the fact that the Lift Away Pro has a flip, two-sided mop head, which means you can get twice the cleaning done without having to stop and replace it. And, the accessories are very nice, too! Again, thank you for posting!
I bought the purple one and the Hoover floormate. Now I’m hooked with the new shark vacuum map. I’ve already had way too many cleaning tools - but the only ones I use everyday are roomba’s vacuum and mopping robots.😂😂😂
That is awesome!
Im sooo happy you made this video!
thank you!
This was extremely useful and informative, thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for sharing,
very informative, now I know what I want to buy.
Thanks. I went with your #1 recommendation.
Hi, my home has engineered wood, trying to find if it's correct to use a stream mop on it?
Lucky me! I love my purple Shark mop. My daughter cleans condos and people put things in the "garbage room" that are good and are meant to be shared. She found this mop sitting there and gave it to me. Yes I love it! Works well, is light, and is much easier to handle for me than my old microfibre mop, considering I have RA.
very thorough , excellent video , good job👍
Thanks so much for making these. Have you tested any other Steam mops other than the Shark brand? I’d be interested to see what you think!
I am so happy he reviewed Shark steam mops. Ive been on the fence about buying one. Ive owned two Shark vacuum cleaners and a hand held for cleaning my vehicle. The only reason I have two vacuums is because Ive downsized my living space and decided a Rocket was the way to go. There is nothing wrong with it but Im short and the Rocket is pretty tall so its a little awkward, but it still works great. My other Shark vacuum needs some maintenance. First time since I purchased it in 2012, so I think its safe to say, "Pretty good track record!"
So now, Im off to buy a Shark steam mop!
I hope you enjoy it!
I have the 501...very happy with it !
I bought a steam mop because of you and this video... and I ain't even mad.
I have got s3501 about 5years so far so good except very hard to push stick to work on without automatic turn on a switch . So now my hubby loves to deal with mop on the tiles than me.
Thank you!!!
I was so confused on which one to purchase.
Great video, could you please do a review of the Xiaomi Mi Handheld vacuum?
Thank you so much for posting this! I need to buy a new steam mop and this helped a lot.
That is great to hear! Thanks!
I like the one with the attachments. I might try it out. Thanks
Just wanted you to know I appreciate your review so I just used your link to buy on Amazon
Great video! Really helped me out in determining which one to buy
Great to hear!
Can you do more reviews like this? I would like to know your thoughts on other brands as well.
Also have you heard of the Quantum X vacuum cleaner? Would to know your thoughts on that as well.
very good review i was hoping in future vids wil say which one rated
hottest steam output still helpful
review, Thank you
Great reviews. How about reviewing Bissell steam mops and comparing to Shark?
I super appreciate your videos. They are awesome.
I appreciate that!
As soon as he said the lift away pro was a garment steamer I was sold, thanks!
Glad to help!
Thank you for your service. This is an awesome review.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Such a great review!!!
love your videos. I have a cleaning business and I made the switch to Shark after watching your "stop buying cheap Vacuums videos" lol best decision ever. I dont have a steam Mop but may consider getting one.
It is music to my ears to hear that you swapped to a closed vac. Thanks for sharing. Make sure you know a flooring is ok for steam before you use a steam mop in someone else's home.
As always, outstanding work!
Thank you! Cheers!
I cant wait when these will be cordless
And self cleaning, and autonomous😸
Vad1k i don’t think that’s gonna happen considering it takes a lot of energy to boil water.
I don’t think thats happening any time soon, my Dyson V11 has a massive battery and can only output about 600w for 8 minutes. I guess they could do a kettle style version where they heat a lump of metal up to 300C or so then use that stored energy so you can unplug and mop away but not sure people would understand so could be difficult getting buy in.
I can't see why it cant be cordless. They hold like 300 ml of water. All you would need is to plug it in for a minute just while a secondary heater gets the water up to 95 C and then battery power is more than enough
Anas Malas Hi, LOLOLOL Great idea... I am genuinely laughing because I had a similar idea years ago but then found out how much energy it takes to get water through the phase change to gas. I didn’t realise this either and its kind of crazy when you first think about it but then it makes perfect sense. It takes a similar amount of energy to phase change from ice to water i.e. 0C - 2C as it takes to get water from 2C - 70C. Its the phase changes that take most of the energy. When I said its obvious when someone points it out to you, think about it, if all you had to do was heat the water from 99C - 100C to turn water to steam your kettle would boil instantly and explode about 10 seconds after you hit the power button. What actually happens though is you put 3KW into the kettle constantly and only get a tiny amount of steam coming out the spout, I don’t know exactly how long but it would probably take about 20 minutes of 3KW to get all that water from 99C - 100C and through the phase change. If I haven’t explained that well, let me know and I’ll try and do a better job. Keep thinking of ideas though, I haven’t had my big one yet but maybe I will one day. Actually I did have a good one about 15 years ago when hair straighteners became a massive thing and that was to use super heated steam to deliver energy into the shaft of the hair as steam conducts heat far more efficiently and touches a greater surface area you’d be able to straighten the hair with less total heat energy meaning you’d damage it less but get a better result... Anyway a couple of years ago my partner said you know that hair streightener thing you were on about years ago.... well its been released and its called steam pod or something similar. Anyway she bought one and its amazing... the best thing she ever bought blah blah blah. I was genuinely upset that I hadn’t done anything with my idea especially when I saw the crappy job L’oreeal had done with designing the product around the basic idea.
Great as usual, thank you! But I just can't figure out if the lack of the vacuum feature in a steam mop is a deal-breaker or not. I don't care if the mop can handle hard stains or germs that much but I do care if it collects all the debris and hair on itself and doesn't drop them off the next time you pull it back or in other direction. What I see from the reviews is that a steam mop is just that same mop that drives me nuts but more sterile one so I wonder if you can clean the entire room or house, keeping all the debris on the mop itself and not scattering them around (ceramic tiles) all the time. I doubt it though because if all this stuff doesn't get sucked into the vacuum and stay on the working surface, how much can it hold until it eventually starts falling off... I'd better clean the floor cleaner once after the job is done or even use its auto-cleaning function rather than pulling the cloth off the mop every time it can't hold the hair and dirt, washing it in a bucket of water and putting it back on, you know what I mean. SO - Steam mop vs Floor cleaner (wet vacuum)??
They need to double or triple the length of the mop for covering wider floor spaces quicker.
Hi, I watch a lot of your videos now! I like your videos!
I have a question about this steam. Is it also good for laminate floors?
so helpful! really appreciate your videos!
Glad you like them!
Yes my shark is the boom!! I have the purple one!! For yrs now love it!!! I don't need a fancy one.
Hi Chris! Would you be doing a 2021 edition anytime soon? 😊 I would love to see an updated version, especially if there's a comparison for cordless steam mops. I'm hoping they come with multi-purpose attachments and extension hose so that they can be used for kitchen/spot cleaning. Thank you very much! 😊
It won't be particularly soon. I'm sorry!
I have the purple Shark steam mop, great product, but he warned the metal on the pole get extremely hot when in use and even for a while after, and I once burned my hand after I had gotten done using it and was trying to wrap the cord up.
I would love to see you review the water filtration vacuums like the Rainbow, Sirens and Quantum Vac !
Angel Huitzil Me too, especially as they are so different from anything we use day to day so would be educational as well as interesting.
I remember rainbow doing a great job but it helps if you somewhere on the property to pour out the water when done
Thank you it’s help me to choose which one
I use the regular mop first then steam it then go over it with my orange glo and my floors come ok out super clean every time
I had the purple one and adored it, gave it to my dad and then got the turquoise one and I hate it sooooo much. The pumping action to get steam out is way to difficult and annoys me with how much effort it requires. I'll be buying the lift away mop soon and donating the current one I have.
I have the Shark click and flip S6003 which is absolutely totally brilliant other than one major problem. I have to use de-ionised water or else my steam mop will die from calcium deposites on the element within 3 months mopping 3 times a week. They either need to use a muuuuch larger heat exchange so it takes much longer to foul or make the element accessible so it can be cleaned.
Wow that was really helpful. Thank you for this
Glad it was helpful!
How about BISSELL steam mop, any recommendations?
thanks for the video it was great and was waiting for you to review steam mops. can you please do one comparing the Bissell steam mops as well
Yes, I am planning on it. The Bissell will be the next group, though it might be a few weeks.
@@VacuumWars , Vacumm wars,
I have had the shark genius for a few years i dont use it often, im not sure why. I just bought the bissel powerfresh with spot boost to scrub my kitchen grout. One reason is because the shark doesnt sanitize the floor unless you heat it for 30 seconds, then use it for 3 total minuets. And then its ready to use to sanitize in which you must make either 10 or 15 passes on the same spot for the spot to be sanitized.
The bissel says to sanitize you heat the machine for at least 30 seconds, then make 3 slow passes on the same spot.
The bissel stands up by itself. But the quality of the plastic used feels so cheap compared to the shark. I also like the shark has the double sided pad you dont have to touch. Also the fill cup that attaches to the steam cleaner falls off on the bissel but stays on, on the shark. I havent tested the temperature between the two yet. Plus the bissel has the grout scrubber on the model i bought 1806. And seems to work pretty good.
@@VacuumWars thank you can't wait to see the review :)
Hi. Trying to decided between a steam mop or a bissel crosswave. I have dogs. Any suggestions highly valued. Thank you!
I have the Shark S1000 steam mop and I LOVE it. The only thing is I have never found any replacement mop pads anywhere so the two I have better last forever. 😅 Also even though the water tank is pretty small, I’ve never ran out of water while mopping.
I just sprang 80 bucks for the purple S3501 and 4 extra pads, I think it did okay and I'm excited to get my floors done!!
I’ve had the S3501 (or a very similar model) for 8 or 9 years. My mother in law complains that it is too heavy. Is the lift away pro easier to push?
The purple one has a new version with hands free release. I would love to see how it compares to the old vs new
What is the model?
Thank you for comparing steam mops. Have you tested steam cleaners? Like the ones you can use in your oven and on grout?
Literally sold on the purple one. The unit and 4 other nice fluffy pads for $80 on sale. Can't wait to actually deep clean 25 years!! Thanks again!
Enjoy!
@@VacuumWars I'm friggin excited!
When will you start uploading on Tuesdays again
Loved the review thanks!!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful.
You're very welcome!
I have the purple one and it works great for most floor types but we have travertine in our kitchen and the steam softened and lifted the grout out.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing.
Hmmm... I recently purchased the purple s3501 a few months ago and it came with the gray striped pads. Now I'm wondering how the plan white ones would have worked
