BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White (HSM13E1)

This steam mop was pretty easy to assemble, though I wish it was more comfortable to use. I found the on/off switch and steam operate button to be uncomfortable to use, since I had to apply extra pressure for them to work. My other issue was with the cord, which was kind of short for my needs. It would have been nice if it was longer. I also wish that in addition to the cord hook on top, this steam mop also had a cord hook on the bottom, which would have made cord handling and storage easier. It also would have been nice if the water tank was removable, which would have made it easier to fill up and empty. Lastly, when storing this steam mop after use, I had to lean it against something so that it didnt fall. I wish the handle had a hole for hanging it on a hook, which would have made storage easier. Overall though, despite the above shortcomings, this steam mop has been working as expected so far and had no performance issues. I used this steam mop for my kitchen floor, which has tiles, and it cleaned it well.

This steam mop is awful. It doesnt stand on its own, so you have to lean it against a wall when not in use. The cord is so short I cant do my full kitchen without having to plug it into another outlet. HATE it!

This steam mop is poorly designed. It only has one hook to wrap the extremely short cord.

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

So far this little steamer seems to be doing great & it’s lighter than the Shark I love but that isn’t available any more.

It doesn’t work well

I will keep this brief and understandable: Pros: Cleans very well! Removing hard stains from food, candies and milk has never been this easy! Gets hot and steams up quick. Easy to setup. Easy to operate. Easy to handle around and maneuver on corners and edges. Easy to clean, almost maintenance free. Uses water efficiently, doesnt leak or spill a lot of water. You need to time your move get the work done quick so spots dry fast. Very compact, doesnt take much space. Easy to place, remove and clean the pad. Cons: -LONGER CABLE LENGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER. -NEED ANOTHER HOOK AT THE BOTTOM TO WRAP THE CORD AROUND FROM TOP TO DOWN. ONE HOOK AT TOP WORTHLESS. -WISH IT WAS COMING WITH 2 MORE PADS.

This mop didn’t even last 10 months! This mop ends up not working. It starts up and then it stops, and so on. What a waste of money! Black and Decker sells cheap mops so yourself a favor and do not buy this product. I spent this much money on a mop who can’t even work for a year!

i purchased a black and decker steam mop catalog number SM1610 in october of 2012. it was a very fine steam mop and just died this year. I ordered this model, what a disappointment, flimsy nothing like my previous model. sending this product back. very disappointed in you black and decker!

Light weight and easy to use
