BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White (HSM13E1)

It stopped working after only 2 months

I absolutely love this steamer. Its lightweight and very easy to use. It starts to steam in a few seconds.

The steam mop would not heat up. Given that, I still have to pay. for returning it!

I’m always reluctant to purchase anything on Amazon with zero customer reviews but I took a chance. This is the third steamer I’ve owned and it’s ok. Not great. Not terrible. Just ok. Pros: good price. on/off button and steam button. Good height so I don’t have to hunch over. Seems sturdy. Cons: you have to hold under faucet to fill water reservoir. Power Cord is too short and I have to use an extension cord. Only comes with one pad. In short, It works but floors have been cleaner with other steamers I’ve owned.

I had an old steam mop that I loved using on my new wood floors. When it finally broke I was not sure where to turn. There are a lot of different models out there at a lot of different prices. Though the cord could be longer, this steam mop works as well or better than my last one. One feature I really like is you can get additional pads for the mop. The one that came with it washed up nicely when I put it in the washing machine. I will deal with a little shorter cord to have these other two advantages.

It cleans. It wasn’t advertised as having a mile long cord. Or for having easy cord storage. Giving it 2 stars for nothing?

Got out the soldering iron, some wire and added that much needed button at the handle to control the steam, and screwed on a bottom hook so you can actually wrap the wire to stow. And its now a very useable steam mop! Not sure what they were thinking in B&D design. Guess they were saving a few bucks but this stuff was mission-critical. It took a morning but well worth the effort. All it needs now are some better/thicker pads, these are too thin but luckily I think I can pick up some Sharks. they just stick on via velcro. Yay!

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.

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.

Good machine!
