BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White (HSM13E1)

This mop worked great on the floor, was lightweight, and as other reviewers have said, it takes corners very well! Turns very smoothly. Unfortunately, they really did not design the water tank well at all & it was a deal breaker for me. The tank cannot be removed from the body to fill it, and filling it in unit is awkward for a person with mobility issues...and also importantly, it cannot be then turned upside down to dry well before storage. This means you are putting a damp inside item in your storage closet to start smelling mildewy.

Should have had at least two pads. Otherwise 5-star

It stopped working after only 2 months

This BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop is easy and a pleasure to use. Relatively good construction, nice finish, and overall seems to be a quality product. It is perfect to be used on tile floors in kitchen and bathrooms. I found that steam cleaning is the best way to clean these areas (kitchen and bathrooms), and one quick run of this BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop will leave my kitchen and bathroom flooring sparkling clean, a super nice crisp and slick finish. You can immediately tell how clean the surfaces are if you walk on it with your bare feet. it is awesome. Usage is simple, lay down the unit to fill it with distilled water (no residue), plug in the unit, turn it on, wait 30sec, then turn on the steam and run thru your surfaces. You do have to maintain/clean your pad and it is likely that you can use a more than one for each cleaning; so getting a few more will be wise and handy. You can switch the pad out during your cleaning, and then wash all of them together afterwards (I recommend getting another half a dozen of pads). I generally gathers all my cleaning pads as well as my mircofiber cleaning towels until I have enough to machine wash them together. The swiveling mop head on this steam mop is particularly agile and smooth. Just twist your wrist, and the mop head will turn 90 degree left or 90 degree right. This make navigating and traversing the kitchen as well as all those tight spaces in my bathrooms a bliss. This steam mop is also super lightweight, and this helps in maneuvering it and using this mop not too tiresome. One issue tho, the power cord is kind of short, I really wished that it come with a longer cord. Thank you for reading this review, I hoped that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.

I wished the cord was longer and it came with more than 1 pad.

Is a good mop but the cord is kind of short. Other than that a good product for the price!

bought ahead of time for a gift, so i didnt open it of course. when opened, would not even turn on. . . item looked USED. Way to go Amazon. thanks for wasting my hard earned money

I dislike the cord. It’s definitely not long enough for both of my rooms. I have to keep putting it in another outlet to get the work done in another room but besides that it gets the job done!

Buy again
