BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White (HSM13E1)

The product works fine. The cord is too short. And where am I supposed to store the cord? Just a 12 foot cord hanging ? Most cleaners you can rap it around the device , it would have hooks, but not this machine. Come on Black + Decker.

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

The place where you add the water could be a little bigger.

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.

Not so much for the cord length or the operating buttons. This is a plain Jane steamer. It steams like it should. But to move it, you have to pick it up or bend down. If you are older, picking it up would be the way to go, which is also needed to put water in it. Of course, when you pick it up, if you have been using it and need to move it, so that the steam is still hot, you are going to feel that steam on your feet or other places. I can barely get the areas covered before I have to change outlets.

Clean floors are my thing!!! I dont know why anyone is still using an old-fashioned mop. This one is perfect for now because it is eco-friendly and kills germs/bacteria/viruses. Its lightweight and very simple to use. The pads can be washed and reused. The white color goes with every possible home decor. Its slim, so it can be mounted behind a door. I HIGHLY recommend this steam mop. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this review. I hope the information that Ive provided makes your decision a little easier.

This Black & Decker steam mop is a nice steam mop. Although there is plenty of room for improvement with this device. First off the cord length. The cord length is not at all long enough. I can not adequately clean my floors with this steam mop because the cord length is so short Im not able to reach areas of my floor in my house because there isnt an outlet close enough to reach. Another thing is only one mop pad? The steam mop only comes with one mop pad! Really? I dont understand why they would only give you one mop pad when most other manufacturers give you at least a spare mop pad. After you use the mop for awhile cleaning your floors the dirt on the mop pad begins to clump up so unless you buy an additional mop pad. You have to stop in the middle of cleaning to clean the mop pad. The water tank is not removable. You have to lay the body section of the steam mop on the floor and use a pitcher or a cup to get the water into a small hole. Why couldnt the water tank be removable? Other than those important features that could be improved on this Black & Decker steam mop. Its not all that bad it works as advertised and it does a good job of cleaning the floors.

Good machine!

I should have read the reviews for this thing or paid better attention. This steam mop is very straight forward, theres only two buttons on the dang thing. I didnt get any instructions in my box, but figured it only has two buttons, how hard can it be? Ill say the steam mop does clean really well, just with water it cleaned my hard wood floors and made them look spotless. Unfortunately the huge downfall to this steam mop is the cord. It is ridiculously short. There is no way I can clean my kitchen floor without having to unplug this and move it to another plug to clean the other side of my kitchen! It just doesnt reach further than like 7 feet from the wall. So its a huge inconvenience to plug in, get whatever you can reach, unplug, move to another outlet, and get whatever you can reach near that outlet, and rinse and repeat! I dont understand why they made such a short cord. I already felt a little old school getting one with a cord, but having one THIS tiny is hilarious. It probably was only made for the small kitchens and bathrooms. Im giving 3 stars because it does clean and steam mop really nicely, but to actually get the job done takes longer and more time due to the short cord.

It worked great then would not steam on 27th two days after the 30 day warranty:(
