 Best on the market for the money March 11, 2010
E. Alphin (NC, US)
When I started researching alternatives to my horrendous Shark, the criteria were as follows: Under $75, constant steam (versus pumping or triggers), higher steam temp (Shark only heated to 110 degrees), and not too heavy. The Eureka fit all of these and because I bought a refurbished model I spent less than $60. It arrived quickly and I promptly set it up and plugged it in. I'm 4 weeks from giving birth and I couldn't believe how easily and thoroughly cleaned my textured linoleum floor, and that is no easy feat - I have a toddler, a 100-lb dog, and a husband that's always working on his cars.
EUREKA 313A ENVIRO-STEAMER March 10, 2010

It does what it says. I have not owned other brands but have seen the Sharks in stores. This is a well-made product, unlike the Shark. I have only had it two months so can't tell you how it holds up over time with normal use but it does the job it says it does and with minimal mess and preparation. The warming time for water is 30 seconds at the most.
Like most reviews for this also states, you must sweep your floors before steaming or it will just move what is on the floor around. This steamer removes dirt, stains, spills, pet accidents, scuffs but it does not have separate attachments for cleaning grout and will not.
This product is not for use on rugs or carpets. That is the only drawback to me but i have lots of tile and dogs so it gets good use.
For the money and after my EXTENSIVE research, this is the steamer you should own. I also have a EUREKA BOSS vacuum that is excellent. I am very pleased with the quality of all their products (so far)
great product March 10, 2010

this item is worth every penny quick easy and it kills bacteria without the nasty bleach or ammonia smell.
Love the mop itself, Eureka, not so much. March 10, 2010

I bought this because I wanted to have really clean, chemical free floors for my crawling baby and preschooler. In this respect, it does the job really well. The steam is very hot and it has pulled up amazing amounts of dirt from my apparently clean vinyl floors. It even got dirt out of an old section of vinyl leading to our basement that I thought was permanently discolored. As a test case, I even mopped an area before using it with a mop and bucket, and it still got out a lot of dirt. The floors are very clean feeling under bare feet and not the least bit sticky, which was one of my complaints with the mop and bucket system.
That said, this is not going to completely replace the mop and bucket or good old fashioned scrubbing. It does not get into corners or the areas by the wall or mop boards, so these will have to be wiped down periodically. It will not sanitize the entire floor unless you have a lot of time on your hands. It has to be held in place for 8-15 seconds on a spot to disinfect, per the owner's manual.
The mopping cloths work well, but replacements are very expensive and one of mine frayed in the washing machine the first time I cleaned it. Now, the owner's manual says to rinse it, but the dirt was really ground in and rinsing was never going to get it clean. I did not dry it in the dryer. I'm going to look at a fabric store and try to make some with my sewing machine. Eureka charges $20 for a two pack with minimum $10 shipping and they seem like they would be really easy to sew with the right fabric.
In addition, mine was shipped with a defective handle (would not telescope) and it took four phone calls to Eureka, a trip to a vac store 40 miles away, and a month to get a replacement. Eventually, I did get my replacement and really like it, but wasn't thrilled with the way Eureka handled a defective product.
Overall, I'm glad I bought it though. It will probably take over most of my mopping and seems to do a really good job.
One of the best inexpensive steamers out there March 9, 2010

I love this thing! I hate cleaning over 1000 sq ft of tile and normally use the Spin Brush but for everyday cleaning, this steamer is the best! I have already owned the Shark and the Bissell and bought this one based on another review here on Amazon from a lady who had her friends bring their steam mops over for a face off. This definitely wins over the other ones I've had.
First of all, the steam...this things steams very well. Unlike the Bissell, it has several steam vents so that's a plus.
Second of all the pads. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ! The pads MUST MUST MUST BE WASHED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE USING THEM TO "SEASON" THEM. When I first used the pads they were horrible. The water just kind of stayed there so I ended up cutting up some old towels to use and decided to keep the pads in the washer to wash them a few more times and that definitely did the trick. I must have thrown them in the wash about 8 times before they got soft enough and absorbent enough not to leave streaks of water everywhere.
Finally Amazon! Buy from Amazon, don't hesitate. After a month of use my steam mop just quit working out of the blue. I contacted Amazon and within a couple of days I had a new one at my doorstep!!! It just can't get better than that!
