Anyone use the Shark Steam Blaster?

16 years ago

Hi All!

After reading all of the great posts from the H20 mop threads, I have decided that I would really like a Shark Steam Mop, however, I would also like a handheld steam cleaner. I'm not ready to invest money in a system like the Lady Bug, so has anyone ever used the Shark Steam Blaster? I see that Target is carrying the Shark 'ultra' steam blaster, which I believe is the same thing. Just wondering how well it works compared to the Shark Steam Mop and the other hand held steam cleaners (reeree - your opinion would be helpful, I'm sure!).

If I can get one good machine that does as good of a job as two separate ones, I'd prefer it!

Thanks!

Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I was going to buy the Steam Blaster too, for the same reason -why buy two products when one will do the trick? But then Reeree made a great point -will I want to haul out this whole unit every time I want to do a quick wipe of the floor? And for me, I decided, no, I want something quicker and easier. We have a white tile floor in the kitchen and it could use a mopping every day. For the same reason that I don't like hauling the vacuum out all the time, I know I wouldn't want to haul the Steam Blaster out. It just seems so much easier to grab a quick steam mop and go to town with that. So I ended up buying the handheld Scunci steamer, which works very well. And I'm awaiting my Bissell floor steam mop...

you will love steam cleaning, but as Lynn wrote..it may be an inconvenience to lug that canister around. I have the shark mop and the scunci hand held. I like it better to have both.. ( I think you will also) The mop is light weight and easy to use, it's really a breeze to wash your floors..when I use my hand held, it is very easy to carry around to different rooms with out having to pull a canister behind me...I hope Lynn and I helped make your decision easier! keep us posted!

I just read the reviews above. I would like to share, I love steam cleaning, I feel it does efficiently clean and sanitize...the key is, to find the right one. I bought the "new and improved" shark mop and I was not happy with it at all..they should of left it alone,,the old one was much better and I was sick when it went ka-put..they weren't making it any longer..until the new one came out. Mine didn't leak..I found it was very hard to push..the steam wasn't continuous and it "pumped" the steam out as you pushed the mop back and forth..it sits in my closet. I want to buy the lady bug professional steamer..but it is very expensive..I was considering the Haan steam mop..here is the link below I also want to share Shark CS is horrible to deal with.

Most likely your pad is too wet and you could be dripping extra water on the floor. The instructions say not to use a pad when it is too wet. But if that is not the problem, perhaps you have a leak somewhere. You may want to rule out the wet pad first.

Hi, we are currently trying CLR, but not fixed yet. I think hubby will have to take the machine apart & see if there is a blockage. Thanks for the suggestion of vinegar though.
