I have a Bissell Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea, 1867-7. It doesn't clean corners. How good is this one in corners?

My review stated that the thing didn't even work once. It was broken from the beginning.

I haven't found a problem with the corners. I absolutely love this mop. Used it for about a year so far and it works great.

It has a rectangular head rather than some of the triangular ones ive seen and I don't worry too much about the corners so I can't give you a real good answer.

Do not buy it. It does not clean at all, much less corners. I went through 2 of them in 6 months. They just stop producing steam on the bottom. They build up the steam instead and blow it out the release valve on the side that they don't show in the picture. The first mop did it after 2 months, by the time I got the second one from Bissell it had been about 4 months since I bought it and the second one broke on it's second use. They replaced it with a different model but would not give me my money back. The replacement barely got hot, it just dumped warm water on the floor and leaked out the filter. After 6 months I got a shark, professional with the 3 speeds. I've been happy ever since. Do not buy it. It does not clean at all, much less corners. I went through 2 of them in 6 months.

I just got mine, but we bought my mother this mop about 5 years ago from bed, bath and beyond and she is having no problems. I just mopped my floors yesterday, I wish shark would of included like a scrubber pad type thing. If you have like greasy dirt on floor, this mop will not clean it, I have to manually remove the grime. I found spraying a little floor cleaner on the dirty area first helps. Good suction on the broom vacuum part.

It depends on the finish on your hardwood floors. We have a coat of polyurathane on ours that is quite old with bits of the real wood exposed. The steam mop didn't work on our floors because it "lifted" more of the polyurathane off the floors. I was not real pleased with this "newer" version of the Smart Living Mop. It doesn't work as well as the old one I had and I was unable to return it to the company. I'm stuck with it and will make the best of it but wouldn't recommend it. Good luck.

I used this on wood laminate floors and it hasn't broken. It's reversible and goes into corners easily. I use Favor 3-in-1 Floor Cleaner, or METHOD Squirt & Mop (almond scent). It's a very nice mop. I dampen the mop with a least bit of water, squirt the Favor, and mop. Live in Florida (humid) so it takes about 30 min. for the floor to dry.

I find I have to turn the mop head to meet up at the corner. certain areas/rooms, it gets right in there, others, it just gets close, but I still invert the mop head in a couple of directions to get the best result. hope this helps.

I haved us this steamer as well as the McCulloch (all made at the same Chinese factory). I bought it for floor cleaning and I have broken MANY Extension tubes. I have never used the useless pads they enclose. I use microfiber cloths tri-folded by a pack for $15 at Costco. It keeps the steam moisture down and mops up the dirt, the amount of which is amazing. After you do half the kitchen flip the pad.

I use IRobot Scooba cleaner with water. I use 1 cap full of solution and the rest water. It does a great job on my floors.

It only will help if you want to get something fresh out by steam but you truly need a carpet extractor to suck out the water to do a thorough cleaning. It did freshen them up a little, though. I still love my new machine! It saves me lots of time on my laminate floors. Wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I just used it on some very dirty floor grout. The grout is much cleaner, but it is tedious cleaning the grout lines and the steamer is pretty heavy and 'clunky', but it did the job.

I have a 3 bdrm home 1300 sq. Ft. all tile, and love this steam mop. It lasts during the cleaning of all rooms, hallways, and bathrooms. Cleans great!!

Melanie is exactly right. I actually called Bissell because my Green Spot Bot retired itself after many years of gallant service and I wanted to know the difference. The woman on the phone told me it was indeed the anti microbal element. I asked what that was since I do have allergies and thought it had something to do with that. She told when the dirt is suctioned up it goes through the element. I decided to save a couple of bucks and go with another with the green spot bot. Who cares about the dirty water. Wear gloves and dump it out.

yes it is fine that is what I use it on mostly.. so far it works great.. even better than my last more expensive Bissell steamer that had less absorbent pads I had to use more exertion using it and repeat several times to get it to pick up the dirt .. this on was so much easier & cleaned quicker on even stuck subtances.. & didn't dry as quickly .

I do use it on mine, it helps with hard to reach areas and loosens and cleans, it won't do it all, of course, you still need to wipe with a clean rag, on hard areas I always dry clean with a soft brush and rubbing alcohol first, then continue on with the steam, be sure the fabric you are using it on will withstand water or steam though. Works good for the mats and rugs, still have to wipe and brush of course, but makes the job so much easier and looks so much more finished in the corners and cracks where you can't reach. I really like my steamer, use it on most everything, saves my fingers and hands with arthritis. I have a bigger machine also, but I grab this one evrytime unless it's for a floor.

To answer your question specifically, no, the machine cannot go flush up against the baseboard and into corners because the cleaning brushes are recessed a small distance from the front edge of the machine. There is also a small area on either side of a threshold when moving from one room to another which the machine doesn't clean very well. This happens with a change from one flooring material to another (i.e., vinyl to tile, vinyl to wood, wood to marble). But, overall, these baseboard, corner and threshold areas are small enough that I can use a soft cleaning tool such as a mop or sponge, to my satisfaction. I hope this helps. Judy
