REDEMPTION! A Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop that WORKS!!
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
Although very optimistic about this purchase, after following the instructions TO THE LETTER, and only using distilled water, it failed to produce steam after only one use. How disappointing! I DO NOT recommend this product at all. Accordingly, I am sending it back for a refund. I will, most likely, order a HAAN steam cleaner to replace this Bissell failure. UPDATE #1: I posted the above review several hours ago after trying to use my Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop for only the second time. Of course, as I explained above, the steamer failed to work, prompting me to request a return shipping label for a refund; however, before packing the unit up, I looked online for possible fixes to my problems and came across this U-Tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8OvV30sHM I tried the half-CLR / half-Distilled Water mixture (poured directly into the water reservoir) and let it sit for approximately three hours. Upon turning on the unit to see if it would make steam …. NOTHING …. but wait! …. after trying for several second without success, I (as they did in the video) shook the steamer from side to side quite forcefully and … BLAMMO …. a strong burst of steam suddenly came exploding from the steam mop head and it began functioning absolutely perfectly, as if nothing was ever wrong. I immediately powered the steam mop down and promptly emptied the water reservoir of the CLR mixture, rinsed the reservoir out good, then refilled the reservoir with clean, fresh distilled water. Afterwards, I was able to mop my entire tiled kitchen, tiled hallways, and tiled bathrooms with nary a hitch. The Bissell Steam Mop operated exactly as it was designed. In retrospect, now that I see how the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop operates when it is working properly, I realize that the first time I used the steam mop, the steamer was not putting out the proper amount of steam. Obviously, there was a clog in the unit when I unboxed it, when lends me to believe that Amazon shipped me a unit that had been returned. I come to that conclusion based on the fact that the box the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop arrived in from Amazon was a plain brown cardboard box, unlike one you would expect from a manufacturer. While I was at Sears yesterday, I looked at some Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mops that were displayed for sale and (unlike the box I received from Amazon) the boxes were very colorful with bold pictures of the steam mop proudly displayed on each side. Quite a difference! I'm going to keep the return label that I downloaded from Amazon's website for at least a couple of weeks since I may still very well return it. It kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth that Amazon (to my belief) sent me a used/returned unit. I will give it another try or two before I decide whether or not to return it. However, I WILL upgrade my rating, just slightly (to 3 Stars), because the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop DID do a beautiful job on my floors after it was flushed with whatever debris/gunk was clogging the steamer flow tubes. Indeed I was VERY impressed with the overall simplicity of operation, the amount of steam that contacted the floor, and the finished cleanliness of the finished floors. Quite nice! Recommended … but with caution! UPDATE #2: Okay …. it's official … the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop is a piece of CRAP! Today I attempted to use it for the third time and, AGAIN, it would not operate. It required yet another dose of CLR before the steamer mechanism came to life. Accordingly, I am reducing my review to only one star, but that's only because I can't give it ZERO stars. NOT RECOMMENDED!!! UPDATE #3: August 22, 2015 …. Today I was at Sears in Savannah, GA and purchased a new Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop. As noted above in my earlier review, the steam mop I received from Amazon was packaged in a plain brown cardboard box, void of any embellishment or product photos. This, of course, led me to believe I might have been sent a repackaged unit by Amazon, perhaps a defective unit that was previously returned. Regardless, the Powerfresh that I received from Amazon NEVER worked properly. Fast forward to today …. the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop that I purchased from Sears (unlike the one from Amazon) was contained inside a very colorful cardboard box, adorned with photos of the product and highly descriptive information. I purchased the unit for $89, and paid an additional $18 for a 2-year replacement warranty. I brought the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop home and assembled it according to the instructions (which is VERY simple). After assembly, I poured fresh distilled water into the reservoir and plugged in the unit. YES! …. The Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop that I purchased from Sears fired right up and within one minute was pumping away steam like an old locomotive! I immediately steam mopped my tile kitchen, tile hallway, and tiled bathrooms with nary a hitch. It worked beautifully and the resulting cleaned floors looked fantastic! Acccordingly, I am now escalating my star-rating from 1 to 5. Yes, it was a frustrating and annoying beginning to my relationship with the Bissell, but the unit that I purchased today worked so well and did such a fantastic job on my floors, I have to give it a max-rating. Would I purchase the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop from Amazon? …. HELL NO …. Would I purchase the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop from a local department store? ….. YES YES YES! At the moment I whole-heartedly recommend the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop; however, it I run into issues in the future I will most certainly provide an update. ... show more

Whoa! This did the trick!
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
I just put the Bissell steam mop through its paces and I'm moved to write a scintillating review. It arrived today and took all of five minutes to assemble. So simple a caveman can do it. I followed the directions (note to other dissatisfied reviewers) to the letter. Filled the reservoir with distilled water (not top water and DEFINITELY no chemicals) and selected the lowest steam setting once the ready light steadied after a short warm up. Before setting out on my steam adventure, I vacuumed all of the floors so everything was dirt free. Our house is a mix of laminate floors and stone. We also live in a chemical-free and fragrance-free house so I ditched the fragrance discs. We don't need the phony manmade smells. I went with the lightest setting for the laminate since I did not want to over-hydrate the flooring. I did a careful pattern, a stroke at a time, to ensure I went over the laminate wood twice. The upstroke laid down the steam and then the downstroke ensured the sturdy mop head did its job. Our floors weren't in terrible shape but there were dirt, smudges and streaking left over from the family holidays. Also having two dogs that seem to love to bring into the house anything they find outside rounded out the state of the flooring. I noticed immediately that the floors looked clean even though they were still a little damp. The mop glides nicely over the flooring and I gotta say it was kinda fun. A little music and I'm a cleaning machine. Curiosity got the better of me so I lifted up the mop and put my hand under to see how hot the steam is. Word to the wise... steam is hot. That's why it's steam. And steam hurts. After the floors and stairs, I proceeded to tackle the stone tile in the entry way, kitchen and bathrooms. Once again I felt it was cleaning it nicely. A quick examination of the formerly-white pad found that a dark grey color now adorned the pad. That showed me this was doing the trick. I increased the steam to the middle setting when doing the entryway. That's the dirtiest part of the house and I figured correctly that the extra steam wouldn't harm the stone. At the increased setting the mop turned into a dirt-busting dervish with nothing standing in it's way. Completing the steam adventure was a snap. Cleanup and proper mop storage took a just a minute. I did spend a good fifteen minutes fawning over my now clean floors. My wife was suitably impressed and commented frequently how nice everything looked. This must be how an early man hunter-gatherer felt after bagging a mastodon for the family pack. All in all, I highly recommend this steam mop. It's lightweight, easy to use and best of all you too can impress the misses. ... show more

So Great I Bought a Second One!
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
Review Image by Susie Homemaker
I originally bought the Bissell Powerfresh steam mop for my daughter for Christmas 2013. About 50% of her house has tile floors. She has 2 cats, 2 dogs, plus she lives on a horse farm so her tile gets pretty dirty. I actually enjoy cleaning (and having a clean house) but sadly, Daughter apparently did not inherit the "clean gene" from me. I thought having a steam mop might entice her to mop a little more often. In researching different steam mops, I was really impressed with the large number of very positive reviews for this model so I ordered it and 2 extra mop pads for her. After she opened it on Christmas, I was anxious to see how it worked! Her...not so much so I mopped her tile floors for her. I am not at all mechanical and have no patience for putting things together but I was able to assemble it in minutes with zero frustration. This little machine heats up quick and is really super easy to use! When you unplug it to move to another room, it does have to heat up again but it only takes seconds so there is basically no down time. Although the water reservoir is small, I only had to fill it twice in order to mop her laundry room, kitchen, hallway, 2 bathrooms, foyer, and the part of her dining room not covered by a rug. My only (minor) complaint is the water reservoir is made of slick plastic and it is a bit awkward to grasp (but not impossible) to remove for filling. I didn't really see the benefit of the little flip down scrubbie brush on the back because the mop cleaned the tile well enough on its own. (Neither the mop nor the scrubbie brush do much toward cleaning the grout but I pretty much knew that from the reviews I read prior to purchase. Fortunately, her grout is dark anyway so it doesn't really show the dirt--and I draw the line at getting down on my hands and knees to scrub HER grout with a toothbrush!) She and I both had a neutral opinion on the fragrance discs--didn't hate them but didn't love them either. To make a long review shorter, I loved this steam mop enough that I just bought one for myself to use on the minimal tile, some vinyl and laminate floors in my house. I was shocked how much dirt was on the mop pad after mopping the vinyl in my laundry room that I thought was relatively clean! (See photo.) The mop also steamed up old, dried paint splatters out of the nooks and crannies of that textured vinyl floor. Steam mops are generally not recommended for use on laminate floors and since my laminate is super sensitive to water anyway, I was extremely hesitant to use the steam mop on it. However, I did try it just to see what would happen. I selected the lowest steam setting and did a very quick pass over the laminate areas without any apparent problems. When the mop was not in use, I was also very careful not to set the wet mop pad down on the laminate which meant when I stopped mopping for any reason such as needing to move to a new outlet plug, I was left holding the mop up off the floor for every room of laminate, and this did get a little tiring. I'm not sure I will make a regular habit of cleaning my laminate floors with the steam mop due to the warping/buckling/swelling potential with the laminate but I might use it to clean them occasionally. However, it will definitely make cleaning my tile and vinyl a whole lot easier than mopping with a sponge mop like I have been doing for years! Five stars and two thumbs up to you, Bissell! Edited on 1/16/17 to add: THREE years later and BOTH steam mops are STILL WORKING GREAT! Daughter and I still LOVE them! (We only use distilled water in them and empty the water tank after each use.) Also, after using the mop repeatedly over the course of ownership, old dirty grout does look significantly cleaner. Edited on 7/21/17 to add: Finally, after 3.5 years, my mop died last week. (No power.) Since it was no longer covered under the 2 year manufacturer's warranty, my husband took it apart following an easy-to-follow YouTube video and diagnosed a bad thermal fuse. (This site will probably not allow me to post the link but you can find the video by searching "Bissell Steam Mop OPERATION/TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR" and the creator of the video is "electronicsNmore" **Note: If your mop is less than 2 years old, DO NOT attempt to repair it yourself. Call Bissell and have it replaced under the warranty! ) We had difficulty finding the correct fuse sold individually but we have ordered a pack of 5 from Amazon for around $5. If that solves the problem, I will post an update with a link for the fuses. If not, I will not hesitate to purchase a new Powerfresh steam mop. Meanwhile, my daughter's mop, purchased about a month before mine, is still working great. Update on 8/2/17: Replacing the fuse on my 3.5 year old Powerfresh steam mop got it working again. This is the link for the fuse(s) husband bought. (He was only able to find the correct fuse in a multi-pack but at least the multi-pack wasn't expensive.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6C2234/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Update on 7/10/2020: Both my daughter's and my mop are STILL working -- more than 6.5 years after purchase! I just used my yesterday and it is still steaming like a champ. All I can say is, if you want the mop to last, use DISTILLED water and ONLY distilled water! Update on 9/13/2024 MOP STILL WORKS -- more than 10 years later! However, I did a stupid thing. I hung a towel on the handle while the mop was standing, the mop fell over and the handle broke. Fortunately, I have another Powerfresh steam mop I bought when the thermal fuse burned out on this mop back in 2017 (see 7/21/17 update) so I've been using that mop since IT STILL WORKS too! Daughter's mop, purchased in 2013 is also still working. My advice for making mop last: DISTILLED WATER ONLY, people. DO NOT substitute any other kind of water and DO NOT put anything else in the water tank, no matter how tempted you might be. ... show more

but found myself missing the ease and convenience of a good steam mop
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
This steam mop is a replacement for an older one (different brand) that kept breaking on me. I went back to the old "tried and true" method of mop and bucket of soapy water for a time, but found myself missing the ease and convenience of a good steam mop. I was definitely attracted to the positive reviews on the Bissell, so that was a big draw. The price was right too. I've been happy with it since I've had it. Easy to use and very effective at cleaning. We have sealed hardwood, seal laminate, and ceramic tile in our house, so this mop has been tested on different types of floors. Hardwood: works great. The basic mop cloth is better than the one with the little "grippers" etched into it. It glides much more smoothly across the floor. To keep the shine up, I'll spray a fine mist of vinegar over small areas as I steam mop. Ceramic: My favorite type of flooring by far to use this on, mostly because you don't have to even think about moisture issues with it. Cleans perfectly every single time. If something does get stuck in the grout, there is a small scrubber attachment that you can use to scrub as you mop. Laminate: I'm always extremely careful whenever cleaning my laminate, regardless of how I'm cleaning it. Let's face it, laminate and water do not mix. We installed our flooring and sealed it at all the seams, but I still worry. While you can't turn off the steam on this mop during usage (if it's plugged in, the steam is going), you can reduce the amount of steam to the lowest level, which I've found to be just right for "delicate" floors like laminate. In the past (with my other steam mop) I did begin to notice a bit of a dull build up that happened after using the steam mop exclusively for about 3 months; using a regular mop and some laminate floor cleaner seamed to clear that up quickly. I don't know if that will happen with this steam mop, but I'm anticipating it and am prepared for it. Things to consider: --If this is your first steam mop, be aware that it's not the same as cleaning with a mop. I remember wondering how it was cleaning my floor at all; but it does. In fact, it does an amazing job. I'm constantly repulsed by how nasty the mop cover is after one use. Yuck. --Expect to buy more mop covers. You'll get 2 with this unit. And those 2 are great. But the thing about steam mops is that the cover will become gross as you mop around your house---especially if you're doing a major cleaning that is picking up a lot of dirt. The more dirty that mop cover gets, the better the chance of leftover streaks on your floor will be. Decide which sort of mop cover you use most and pick up an extra pack of them. You may want to use a fresh mop cover for each high-traffic area. ---Be aware that some floors just love to show streaks and there isn't too much you can do about it. My hardwood and ceramic are a dream to clean with the steam mop, but the laminate is a bit more fussy. If the cover isn't clean, the floor will look streaky and almost like there's a film on it when you're done. I try to do that flooring first to reduce that risk. If you notice a build up after a while, do a mop/bucket round of cleaning with a designated laminate cleaner. That should cut through the "film"; you'll be fine to steam mop once again. Overall opinion: I like this machine. It's simple. Straight forward. Easy to use. You can't turn the steam off while the unit is plugged in, but I'm okay with that and have never had any issues because of it. Changing between steam levels is as easy as pushing a button and the result is almost immediate. The water heats up quickly (about 30 seconds) so my mop is ready to use when I'm ready to use it. There is a slight "knocking" sound that happens while the mop is plugged in and as I'm using it, but it doesn't affect the usage and hasn't been a problem. The manual mentions that it can happen, and I think it has to do with how the water is drawn from the water tank by the machine. My one complaint is that one of the mop covers has a rip in the seam (where the elastic is sewn on). I can stitch it and it will be fine, but it's annoying that it happened after one wash. Also, the mop covers will not be white ever again after you've used them. No matter how you wash or pretreat them. I've gotten over that too and it doesn't really matter. In the end, so long as this machine continues to work well, I'm happy. ... show more

Great for a deep clean and leaves the house smelling amazing
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
I absolutely love this steam mop. I use it about once a month as a deeper clean for my floors, with a regular mop in between, and I feel much better knowing I'm giving the floors a thorough steam cleaning. It's lightweight and very easy to use. I can fill the water tank once and clean my entire floor without having to stop and refill it, which is a huge convenience. I also really love the scent pucks that go underneath the cleaning pad. They leave the house smelling amazing after I'm finished, and the scent is a nice bonus on top of the cleaning. The cord is another feature I appreciate. It's nice and long, so I don't constantly have to stop and move to another outlet. When I'm finished, it wraps neatly around the built-in cord storage. Overall, this has made my monthly deep-cleaning routine much easier. It's lightweight, convenient, cleans thoroughly, and leaves the house smelling great. I'm very happy with this purchase. ... show more

Great for my tile flooring!!!!

Can't say enough good things about this steam mop! I have a wood-look porcelain tile floor throughout my house that I thought was clean. Boy was I wrong! This mop is so easy to use, heats up in a matter of seconds. I did a bathroom and a bedroom and then checked the mop head. It was gross! I can't believe how much dirt It picked up (and we take our shoes off in the house!). I did use the mop head with the gray striping and I will say you should go slow when mopping and hesitate as the steam isn't constant (but quick!). I would recommend ordering extra mop heads as I use one in each room. Then when I'm finished I rinse them in the laundry sink to get most of the dirt out, Then I put them in the washer.. I do use distilled water and It doesn't really take much! ... show more

(I'd sleep with this thing if my wife wouldn't get jealous!)
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
Hi. I'm an artist. Which means I don't earn much... but all the chores of a house husband. I don't mind most chores. I do windows, despise dusting, and resent mopping. But you have to mop the porcelain floors or you can't invite guests over. It took a long time for me to figure out how to mop properly. I used one of those sponge mops (which you can pull back into itself to ring out the dirty water). Instead of ringing out into the same bucket, I'd ring into the sink and even wash the sponge. Picture this. Even in a moderately sized condo, I'd rinse the mop at least 20 times during once mopping. That's a lot of hot water. So is the two gallon bucket I'd have to fill with Simple Green. Gallons of water and chemicals. And when I was done? MEH said the floor. It was better but not optimal. So my mop broke and I went to replace it. Couldn't. The Rollomatic was no longer at OSH. Which sucks because I have a replacement head that's now useless. I went to Amazon to see if they carry it. They do, but they also carry this Bissell baby. It looks like cheap plastic. Know why? To keep it light. If it were metal you'd never use it. This light design is just right and about 1/4th of the work of the Rollomatic. And there's no bucket to move around. The 'bucket' is a small reservoir that could hold two cans of Coke in it. Maybe one and half. When you open the box, assembly should be easy but for one thing: when you attach the handle to the unit, the handle can be slid in upside down. Which means when you go to put the one screw in it mysteriously won't work. I'm not the handyman type but I know 'engineers' can paint on a little red line on the handle and unit and tell us to make them 'match' each other to avoid this mistake. Or shape the rod in such a way that it can only slide in the correct way. A silly little design flaw. Okay. There's no on or off switch. You just plug in. A little blue light blinks. About a minute later it's ready. Then you pick what steaming power you want. Light, Medium, Heavy. Understand the unit comes wearing a 'gentle mop' and includes a 'scrubby mop' in the box. So it therefore comes with six levels of intensity: gentle light, gentle medium, gentle heavy, scrubby light, scrubby medium, scrubby heavy. I put off buying a new mop for ages and so it was particularly dirty. On my tile floor in the kitchen and major walkways, scrubby mop/heavy steam was needed. In other areas the gentle mop/medium steam did the trick. I should say here that I had to change from the gentle mop to the scrubby mop because the gentle mop got filthy fast. If Bissell wanted to be the bestest -- they'd include an additional set of mop heads for the same price. If that didn't get through: if you have a ginormous home to mop, you'll need more of the mop heads if the floor is particularly dirty. A few cool things -- 1. Under the cabinets in my kitchen is that part of floor the normal mop could barely clean. Grime would slowly build up and the only way to fix that was paper towels, spray, and hands & knees. This Bissell? Cleaned MONTHS OF FILTH in minutes. (This is what made me first consider taking the Bissell out for dinner and a movie.) 2. You don't need Simple Green and Pine Sol. This is STEAM. And you don't need a ton of water. (This is when I considered asking the Bissell back to my place.) 3. What was a solid hour of mopping is about 25 minutes with the Bissell. And that old school mopping used to make me so tired I refused to clean the upstairs linoleum bathroom... which is only a few feet wide. I did that too... in two minutes. (This is when I poured the wine for the Bissell and dimmed the lights a little.) 4. Because it's now so easy to 'mop'... I can do this weekly. Instead of what seemed to be every 4-6 weeks. (I told you I didn't like mopping, didn't I?) (Oh, and this is when my wife caught me and the Bissell in a compromised position. But this is my only affair and I won't apologize! Damn it this thing is awesome. Sure I wish she was a cheaper date, but hey, she sure can make me steamy.) <3 THREE MONTHS UPDATE: Yes, my affair with this thing is still on-ongoing. Maybe not as hot and heavy, but yes -- there is still love. However, I stumbled upon something which requires rewording and correcting. Above I said that grime came off with the first uses. And it did. What I didn't know until recently was that it doesn't remove ALL the grime. I had six or so years of it building up slowly, despite my Simple Green mopping and Bissell steaming. I basically forget my floor was matte finished, and you could clearly see a grimy 'shine'. So I got on my hands and knees with a harsh plastic brush, hot water, and some soapy water with some OxyClean mixed it. Surprise surprise -- this cleaned off YEARS of gunk. What I thought were scratches in the porcelain floor were really scratches in the gunk. This is why people hire people when they sell their home to come in and use those machines to REALLY clean the floor. And so my question will become IS the Bissell enough to stave off this 'gunk' that builds up -- and how long before I'm forced to scrub hands and knees style. If I can go a full year without needing to scrub so hard, I'll be satisfied but not delighted. If it's two to three, delighted but not thrilled. If the Bissell prevents me from ever having to scrub the floor again, I'll be Michael Jackson Thrilled. So I'll come back the first moment I have an answer to that question. ... show more

Great steam mop
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
After one month of use, Im very satisfied with how well this steam mop cleans the tile floors. I have dogs and I always liked and used Bissell products for years. The first step is to thoroughly vacuum the floors to pick up dust. The steam mop is light and easy to carry. The power cord length is sufficient to clean a larger area. After plugging in the steam mop, it takes about a minute before it's ready. I use the highest setting and the temperature is reasonablely hot. The amount of steam is good and the mop does a thorough job cleaning the floors. The mop pad wraps around all edges of the steam mop so it's able to clean up to the edge of the baseboards. I can feel the difference walking on the floors. I don't care or recommend buying the Bissell scent pods. It's a waste of time. The steam mop does leaves a light moisture on the floor because of the steam but it dries quickly. The mop pad is easy to remove and install. It washes clean in the washer. The mop pad should not be put into the dryer. After washing, I let it dry in the garage. The steam mop is a good value for the money. It does a better cleaning job than the Bissell Croswave. I used the Bissell Croswave and I don't like it because it always leaves some of dirty water on the floor. I looked at the more expensive Bissell Croswave steam vacuum but I don't think it's worth it. Overall, I highly recommend getting the Bissell steam mop. ... show more
