BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White

Surprised a bit on how well this works on tile and wood surfaces. Really does clean and sanitizes the floors.

I bought the Black and Decker steam mop 9 months ago. Initially, I agreed with most of the concerns until I learned the problem usually was me and not the mop. For example, the electric cord to short. Yes, but then I learned to coordinate my mopping with the locations of my outlets. Now cord length is perfect! Even wrapping the electric cord after use turned out OK when I learned to secure the plug end at the top of the handle first, then looping the remaining cord around the hook a couple of times. No more problem. This mop doesn't last. My first mop broke (steamer) with two weeks of use. B & D replaced it. Now, I know to refill the tank before it goes dry. Conclusion: I think the B & D mop is the best value on the market for steam cleaning household floors!

Works perfectly. Easy to use. Good quality for value. Cleans floors well. HOWEVER, there is NO second handle to wrap cord around. Like with a vacuum there are two spots to wrap the cord and keep it. This lacks the second spot. I thought I was missing it in plain sight. NOPE. Got a second opinion.

For the price, this is a nice little steam mop. It was very easy to put together. For a small floor, the little water tank probably holds enough water to get the job done. But I have a large kitchen floor, and it took filling up the little tank twice. But it's so easy, that's not a problem. It's easy to watch the water level. It heats up quickly and is ready to go. The cord could be a little longer, but for a small floor, it's probably just right. I like that the pad, which attaches by velcro, is washable and reusable. The mop is lightweight and it swivels, making turns easier. And it has a low profile. It is quiet, with only the sound of the steam going. I was damp-mopping my kitchen floor, but this mop is a whole lot easier, and I got finished a whole lot faster. My floor is probably a whole lot cleaner too! The pad showed how much dirt it got up. I think it took longer for my floor to dry, than it did for me to actually mop it! (It does get hot, so be careful!)

Add me to the customers who had high hopes and are now sadly disappointed. I moved into a house where the previous owners must never have washed the floor in all the years they lived here; it's filthy and Swiffer is NOT cutting it. I bought this steam mop as the perfect alternative, especially since i have a cat and don't want to use too many chemicals. As others have stated, the reservoir doesn't detach for filling; trying to get the whole machine under the faucet is annoying at best. The cord is too short; I have to constantly be unplugging and replugging, which wouldn't bother me if I had outlets in convenient places in the house (which I don't). But, here's the best part, the pad doesn't completely touch the floor, so only in spots where the velcro strips exist does the pad make contact with the floor for cleaning! The mop can't clean if most of the pad is floating above the surface of the floor. I am very frustrated. I will buy different pads (hopefully thicker?) and see if that helps. But if it doesn't I will be seeking a refund. If it does help, I will try to update this review. ( I am giving it three stars for ease of use and a good amount of steam.)

I've been using the BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop HSM13E1 for several months now, and it has significantly improved my floor cleaning routine. This steam mop is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces. The 13.7-ounce water tank heats up in just 20 seconds, allowing for quick and efficient cleaning sessions without the need for harsh chemicals. One of the standout features is its ability to kill up to 99.9% of germs and remove tough dirt using only water, which is perfect for households with children and pets. The swivel head design allows for easy navigation, and the mop pad is machine washable, making maintenance a breeze. Whether you're dealing with tile, hardwood, or laminate floors, the BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop HSM13E1 delivers consistent performance and value. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain a clean and hygienic home environment without the use of chemical cleaners.

I just received my steam mop and I love it. It heats up rapidly and it steam cleaned my entire home. The steam doesn't leave the floor wet which makes it easier to walk on after I'm done. I also love not having to add more chemicals. The cloth mopping attachments are easy to throw in the washing machine. The steam cleaner worked very well on my hardwood floors and my tile kitchen and bathrooms.

If you're going to buy this steamer, you'll need to be super clear on a few things. First, it's very inexpensive so manage your expectations. Some of the things to be aware of: as other reviewers have said, the cord is ridiculously short, so be prepared to grab an extension cord. The water receptacle is not removable so you have to be able to lay the entire steamer sideways and line up the hole to fill. This also means it's incredibly difficult to empty so, over time, there will no doubt be a mold/mildew problem. There is no indicator light for when it has heated and is ready to go - it does seem to heat up very quickly, though. The entire pad does not contact the floor, only a few ridges do. As long as you take all of those poor design issues into account, if you need a cheap steamer, this one will do. It does heat up and steam comes out (only in one spot) and it can be useful for quick cleanups. It's lightweight and the head swivels easily. If you want a heavy duty cleaner, this is not the choice you want to make.
