Shark Steam and Scrub Hard Floor Cleaner Mop Review & Demonstration 

YAAAAAS! My mum’s Christmas present right here, thank you for the great review!!

I also agree I thank y for this very detailed video. It did help me make a decision as I am already a steam mop owner of the previous pocket version. Man, I think you need to send this to the designers if you have not already Shark engineers need to see this and weak for an upgrade version. I agree with you on all the pros and cons of this device. Thank You for your video.

Just got mine 😍 thanks for the video and that vintage skinny vacuum is awesome 👌

Finally had my question answered, no chemicals just water👍🏾.

Thank you for posting this. I just unboxed my mop, I've yet to use it. Your commentary and tips are very welcome. 😊😊 Greetings from North Wales UK.

Great review. Does it have any indicator to let you know when it's out of water or you have to check to constantly check on the water level?

Great review, thank you, I can tell you are very clean and follow the same procedure to wash the pads as I do, I just add an extra rinse so to make sure it gets rid of all the detergent. I will buy this machine, it does a great job. Thank you.

What a great review--you have a gift for this type of video. Thanks!

Thank you very much for making this video, it was very helpful .

I just got this steam mop and compared to my older shark steam mops, this one cleans more like a self propelled mower 😊. I LOVE IT

A very helpful and unbiased review, thank you! The demonstration was particularly useful.

Great review, it covers the pros and cons. Very helpful. Thank you.

I have a non-spin shark steam mop pro. However the plug is getting hot after cleaning a single room, the prongs on the cord are literally too hot to touch. My vacuum doesn’t make the outlets warm at all so I’m wondering if it’s the Mop. Or perhaps since I always run it on Scrub mode. I’m considering trying this spin mop as a replacement. Thanks for the review.

Best product review ever !!! Ty

I am returning mine. The powerful rotating scrubs bounce off the corners. I think I liked the old one better. Going to order that.

excellent review I do wish I had seen this prior to purchasing but it will suffice. I will be using it primarily on tile so hopefully it will hold up.

Thank you for your Shark Steam Mop demonstration. I am considering. Currently I have a Bissell crosswave which works pretty good but it leaves streaks ans doesn't clean as well as I would like. So far I think this is the best product for steam cleaner however, Shark needs to add two features to this steam mop. 1. Make it cordless 2.make it vacuum submtaneously

Cool. I might get this. I just happen to realize cleaning with water saves on the chemical cost too. This looks like a unique product for floors meeting a sweet spot between cost and function because it's doing a little scrubbing. I can't imagine how long that would take me to do all that scrubbing.

Thank you for making this awesome content for fellow cleaning product enthusiasts! I appreciate the level of detail you provide 😊 While this is a handy product, the lack of polishing and potential for issues with unsealed or laminate are deal breakers. Love that you were able to give me the real answers I came looking for so that we can make informed buying decisions. 10/10

What is the cool-down pad you set the steam mop on? Thanks for the video! Very helpful and informative.

I caught my 2 mode on sale at Walmart and was initially happy with it. My floors are not filthy filthy by any means but it took me a month this time. I have a large hardwood floor great room and hall. Tile in kitchen and two bathrooms. Took a little to get some spills off the tile. Thought it was fine and clean and went back over my hardwood with a disposable mop pad and still a lot of dirt even after two cleanings with the Shark. I’m not impressed anymore. Taking it back tomorrow. I haven’t tried the tile. I am calling Stanley Steamer because my grout needs to be cleaned in some areas. They have always done my grandparent’s house and floors look like new after. I was not expecting professional results btw but something easy and quick. It did leave my hardwood full so I have to polish it. Curious as to an alternate floor cleaner now.

So is there one that will both scrub and polish? It looks like the one in your video is discontinued. Recommendations?

Great review. I have a high shine laminate flooring. Do you think this would be safe to use on it? I have a large dog that leaves a lot of drool mark that dry any look awful on the high shine floors.

Great video of pro and cons. Have you upgraded since this last steam shark mop.

Wonderful. Just the information I needed. Very concise.

Good review, good information! Thank you!

I have a troubleshooting question. My steam mop has been working great over the last few months of use, but this morning I tried to turn it on and it will not rotate the heads. But it does turn on and steam?

Great video as always. The Hann is still the one I would prefer to own, but I still haven’t been able to find one. May just have to go with this shark. Thanks for all the great info!

We wanted to buy a steam mop to save money on swifter wet and dry pads. We also wanted something natural that would still clean. After using it for several months I noticed the floors are clean however they are very dull and you can see swirls on the floor afterwards. I’d almost rather waste the money on swifter wet pads. They cleaned well and left the floor shinning. I wish Shark had a safe additive to add to the machine to leave a nice shine.

Walmart sells a box of replacement pads that also come with "dusting" pads that say they're for dusting and polishing the floors. However it doesn't specify if they can be used dry or not.

Hi Can u plz tell if it dries the floor also? I am looking for a steam mop that dries the floor alongwith mopping I really like this one but seems like it is not drying Can u plz explain

I just bought one for my Mom and she loves it!

Is there a device you'd recommend that cleans and can then be used to polish too please?

I have ceramic tiles in my kitchen. Can I use grout cleaner by spraying in grout and using this?

Do you have to use filtered water; or will tap water is okay? Thanks.

So which item would clean and handle the finishing touches?

Hi what temp wash do u put the pads on in washing machine pls and how long for

Bissell spin or Shark Steam for ceramic tile with pet stains vs. manual scrub squeeze mop. I need help Thanks 👍

I would like the Steam Mop to have some kind of notification that the water tank is empty. Also, an on off switch would not hurt. With regard to the water tank, the type of plastic used makes it a bit difficult to see the level of water although if you look closely the water level can be determined.

How do you cool it down if you don’t have the non included pad? Just lay it down so it doesn’t touch the floor?

What's the steam mop that can buff the floors you used? And does it do more?

If you're looking to remove the shine off of your floors then this is the mop for you. I got this for Christmas and was so eager to use it , really enjoyed how it steamed and the spinning seemed like a great idea. It's been around a month now and I've noticed my floors look dull and with no shine at all. I was thinking maybe it was the salt from the outside (salt to melt the snow) but I think it is definitely the mop. I'm really upset as my entire floor colour has changed and just looks terrible. Definitely think about what's happening with this mop it's scrubbing the finish off of your floors little by little like a sander.

Great video!

Do you have any suggestions on what to use with matte finished tiles? Seems there is nothing that can actually clean these tiles without leaving marks/streaks after the fact. I have tried several different mops and steam cleaners but have not come across anything that leaves the floor actually clean. In the next home, I buy I would never again have a floor with matte tiles as they seem to show everything. Thanks.

I’ve had my shark for four months, use it almost daily with my Bernese mountain dogs. Anyway, the steam melted the Velcro on the bottom of it. After phone call after phone call with shark I got replacements (they wanted me to Initially pay for it). Got my replacements today…. The Velcro has changed so they clearly know it’s an issue. It’s black now instead of white. Yet these things fit in the base of this thing terribly and they give you zero directions on how to make the repair. Sharks customer service is terrible to say the least, guy sounded half asleep and I got hung up on and no phone call back. Why are they taking all your info down if they’re not going to call you back if you get disconnected with all the waiting they make you do and live streaming to prove your machines broken. My next step is to epoxy these pieces in once this dries out. If that don’t work I’ll ship it to shark and they can shove it…

Thank you for this in-depth demo. I just picked this up today at Target for a steal. I am anxious to try on my tiles floors. I have hardwood floors and will try it there, too. If it makes it dull, I also have the Hoover steam mop as a backup

I tried it but I hate it, it just floats on top of the floor, the old shark steam mops are better since you’re using your elbow grease to scrub the floors. I returned it and got a Bissell Crosswave and I don’t regret it!

This machine isnt doing anything on my wood floor. Barely removing any dirt and stains. Ran it several times and nothing. But the water made all my floors super sticky. Can i put cleaner on the ground and run the scrubber over it?

I do not understand why you can’t use it without steam to polish the floor. Anyone understand this? I’m considering buying one but would really like it to do that as well. Is there a machine that does both?

How do I disassemble this model to de-calcify? It doesn't steam. I've tried CLR and vinegar. I use distilled water in it. TIA

Great Video. I have to disagree on one thing. I like that the newer model sharks do not have the removable fill tank bec if stationary, it keeps the footprint lower. the smaller the fill tank footprint the lower i can get the mop under low items like a platform bed. I'm on my 3 rd steam mop and I like the more compact design to get into lower/tighter places that my previous steam mops could not. yes, its a pain to refill but I prefer it over the bulkier option.

But how do you drain the access water out of the reservoir

Looks like the spinning parts may be contributing to dust/left over debris particles being flown out by the sideways. Replacing the pads midway and refilling the tank sound cumbersome.

I just received the mop with only two cycles and no lights, but it's fine for me. I agree it's cumbersome removing the left-over water from the small tank. This was a design mistake as far as I'm concerned, But the good news is I was able to cut a small piece of clear plastic tubing and push it onto the end of a large syringe. I place the tube down into the tank and just draw out the excess water. My husband is a tube feeder so these items were readily available. This sure beats turning the unit upside down!!! By the way - the directions say to only use distilled water. Thanks for your review!

Thank you for posting!! This video was very helpful. I bought this for my baby. I needed a way to clean the floors without chemicals 👍

Just got the other version but no steam is coming out of mine, how come?

what is that red mop??? i have been wanting to buy one of those!!

Hi was going to purchase this today glad I saw your video it's no good as I need to get into corners. What the brand of the red mop you had please? Also never seen polishing done either how long dose that last on laminate flooring thanks

Thank you

Please do a comparison with the YMop Twin-Turbo.

Which brand and product would you recommend better for a steam mop between Bissell and Shark? This is my first time buying a steam mop and I don’t know which one is better

Orange Glo is my favorite floor shine

What was the other steam machine you used

Aside from it's inability to polish (not relevant to my needs) how well do you think this cleans compared to the Bissell SpinWave? I'm currently looking at both.

Can I use this on marble floor?

Yea when I turned mine on the pads don’t spin they stay still i don’t know if it’s because it’s broken or not but this is not acceptable it steams but doesn’t work

the mop scrubs do not stick to the velcro area after a few uses any ideas or replacements I need?

It's very pricey! $179!!! But I didn't see the STEAM part of the mop. what was the red mopper you used? Does it do the same as the Shark?

How do take off mop handle?

Is it wobbly and heavy? I tried another brand (the one mentioned also) and it is very heavy. At the same time, it is like me being controlled by the mop instead of me controlling the mop.

Have you tried the Shark over the Quick shine? Does the Shark strip it off like it did the Pledge?

Hi Vac, what vacuum cleaner are you using in this video?

How to disassemble de handle?

What would you recommend for 2,500 square feet of white ceramic tile flooring? Im having a hard time find a good vacuum AND mop..

How old is the washing machine?

Where did you get the cool down pad??? I need one of those! My last steamer discolored my floor!

I bought a Shark HydroVac and I'm thinking of taking it back and getting a steam mop instead. The HydroVac doesn't get up close to any walls which is frustrating

Also after I start, steam comes out & I use for a couple of mins it goes back to standby mode automatically & stops

Can it work on paint

CN it be used on bamboo flooring

should also have something for Cleaning the baseboards

I want a cordless one. I just bought this one and took it out of box and I don’t think I got the right one

I wanted to like it, leaves scrubbing streaks everywhere.

I am looking for something that can clean aggregate floors, I am cleaning aggregate floor with rug washer

What is that red steam mop that you used after the Shark?

I got the Tineco floor washer and it’s awesome. I was using the Bissell Crosswave but the Tineco is definitely my favorite. If possible pick one up and tell me what you think. Check out the video I did on it. Thanks for the video.

Where do you set the steam mop down when you’re done to avoid damaging the floor?

Can you please let me know the name of your other machines your using to polish the floor

Could you put 20% pine-Sol mixture in the water for better clean and smell?

Is it constant steam or do you control the steam? Where does the steam come from?

Just got mine in the box.. unpacked ready to use on our laminate flooring only to find out it doesn't even spin

Any plans for a numatic vacuum review?

Anyone know if this can safely be used on laminate floors?

It was spinning for some reason its stopped spinning. I had unplugged when it was spinning. Is that the reason. I am able the start the mop & set steam mode & tilt the handle but it refuses to spin. Its a new mop & I just started using it today. Has anyone experienced this

So no solution (liquid cleaner)? Just water? Can we fill the tank with something?

Do you think the bissel spinwave is better or this shark?

Should of made it when you can put some buffing pads on it and use to polish to a high gloss

Nice

Isn’t this going to warp the wood?

what's that last mop you used and what is the vacuum you used?
