I can't imagine how the one lady, Amy, scratched her wood floors unless she forgot that you need to put a pad over the plastic head? That or she didn't sweep up before she steamed. Anyway, I will say I have had my mop for about 2 years and yes, occasionally it has been a pain to keep it steaming. But when it does get it's steam going, it is an awesome piece of equipment. I am highly disappointed in the handle though. Recently I was bending down to pick something up inbetween swipes and the handle snapped in half. Now I have the white version of the now purple one. It's not the first they made, maybe the second "improved" version. The "adjusting" handle is two pieces secured by a PLASTIC gripper. Well, it busted and I can't use my mop anymore. To replace it, I have to buy the whole handle. Bummer, it's $31.95 plus $8 s/h. So it's a win/win situation for them. They either get my $40 and wait for my 2 year old mop to break/die or I go out and buy a new $100 mop and hope the same doesn't happen. By the way, I bought a temp sponge mop......so yes, I have already wasted $10 just making a decision on what to do with the Shark. I love the Shark, and I want another, I am just upset with the way they handle satisfaction and keeping a customer. Maybe I will just shop other brands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944357409056905579.post-90042131203222987812012-01-22T06:33:10.158-08:002012-01-22T06:33:10.158-08:00I fell for the infomercial, what can I say?

In fact, it's so hard to disattach the main head, I just keep it on. I called to complain but there is no proper customer service! (After my first complaint I lost the connection and when I tried calling again - quite a few times - there was a very odd dial tone!) Second, even though I really love the idea of steam cleaning, the floors look as grimy as ever, I am so frustrated. Third, even though I haven't used my mop that much, yesterday when I plugged it in and was waiting for it to steam up, there was a minor explosion, in sound only, and then I realized while mopping, it was dripping dirty water. Weird! They should offer free shipping for those who want to return it. Unfortunately I didn't pursue the matter. I wish I had waited for a better named brand to come up with a lighter, more effective, easy to handle steam mop. I paid around $130 for this piece of disappointment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944357409056905579.post-10607395295860070502011-12-17T06:58:31.789-08:002011-12-17T06:58:31.789-08:00How do you use the purple pockets?

Strewth! ONE HUNDRED BRITISH POUNDS for this? For that money I would expect it to fill itself and clean all floors while I watch TV. I would sooner get on all fours and clean the floor with a toothbrush and bleach. Honestly!!! £5 worth of plastic and a heating element! Lets not forget a long lead. I can only imagine that it is this price because enough idiots are willing to spend their money on it. Well count me out! I'll stick to mop, bucket, boiling water and disinfectant @ £10 or less.<br />A good choice of name I reckon, "Shark", you couldn't make it up lol.<br />Well!

So i called back and the same thing happened. the third time i called the lady gave me a customer service number and they were just as worse. i couldn't understand them they were somewhere from India... I spoke to a supervisor and he was even worse didn't even let me finish explaining my question i kept say hello and he hung up on me too.I had the worst experience ever with these people they offering free shipping and a 60 day return money back free shipping. they are ripping people off with they infomercial even online it says free shipping but that a bunch of bull!!!

I was initially disappointed but used it one more time. That's when I realized that the purple loop mop head will NOT clean my floors but the white terry one does an amazing job (I've heard some friends have the opposite experience). There is a slight learning curve like with most products of this type, but if you give it a few tries, chances are you'll love it.

It came with no issues and very timely. I used it at first and wasnt really impressed and then tried it a few days later, and again wasnt impressed. After reading good reviews, I decided to figure out what I was doing wrong LOL. Sure enough, I didnt have enough water in it. It still "steamed" but wasnt quite enough. I was used to a smaller steamer that required little water. As soon as I put more water in it and waited about a minute (could have been done earlier, I just waited that long) It worked GREAT. There was plenty of steam and took stains from my kids and St Bernard off my floor!<br /><br />The "Iron" style: I have that too and cant really say much about it, I tried it on my walls and counters and it was awkward. I want to try it out further though before I really decide I dont like it.<br /><br />I LOVE the long cord with both products though, really helpful!!

I saw the latest TV infomercial and went to the "shark pocket mop offer" website. Expensive, ($159) but you also get a portable steamer that is shaped like an iron with two pads. I would like something like this to clean counters, but I calculated that it is actually costing me about $40 (although they say it is free). I have seen no reviews on this portable product. It must be a new design. Does anyone know anything about the "iron" design portable steamer? Next question: Does anyone know the promo or coupon codes for ordering on the website?

I also saw some floor models in the stores and the handle on the Shark is much sturdier than others. I purchased the Shark Steam Pocket Mop and LOVE IT!! I treated myself to it last winter and I have had no regrets. <br />I live in a rental where the parquet floors have not been refinished in years and have old linoleum in the kitchen and bathrooms. This mop does a great job and I have recommended it to many including all of my family. I have even offered to take it to their homes so they can test it…has not happened yet. <br />My only complaint is that it does seem hard to push, it does not seem to glide across the floor as shown in the infomercial or as others have described above. Just a little more elbow grease I think, but I will take note of a comment above that I may need to tilt a bit so it is easier to glide. The purple duster seemed difficult to move on my parquet floors as they are so dull and have not been refinished I find it takes much more strength to push it than I feel is good for the unit. Though I will try again! I have not yet tried the carpet attachment but will. <br />I highly recommend this steam mop. I have had no problems with it warming up, it takes seconds for mine, not minutes like others have described above.
