BLACK+DECKER Steam Mop, White (HSM13E1)

Pros: Easy to use. I love that it cleans very well and dries quickly! Cons: Cord is way too short, only good if youre mopping one small room.

Very poor quality on steamer

First time steam mop user here - and all I can think of is why the heck didnt I get one of these sooner! It made one of my least favorite tasks kind of fun. It cleans really well and it only takes a few seconds for it to be ready to use. The one thing I have to warn about is that the cord is a bit on the short side. I kept reading about that when I was getting ready to buy, and I just figured everyone was living in a huge house or something.. but no, I can definitely say the cord is weirdly short. Even in my small area, I have to use an extension cord to get the whole floor. So, if you do buy one (and I do recommend it) be sure to get a little extension cord to go with it. Another thing to note is that the water tank isnt removable (its like an iron in that respect). I found the best way to fill up the tank is to use a measuring cup.

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.

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

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!

I have only had a chance to use this once. But, it was easy to use and did a wonderful job cleaning my floors.

It doesn’t work well

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.

I have had better steam mops. The cord is long, thick and heavy. It doesnt maneuver very well and the pads are flimsy and already coming apart. I expected better from this brand. Not impressed at all.
