BLACK+DECKER7-in-1 Steam Mop and Steam Glove Handheld Steamer, Complete Steam Cleaning Solution, Corded (HSMC1361SGP)

I really like the options that come with this steamer. We only have 2 floors that aren't carpeted, so we bought this mostly for the handheld part of it so clean things like the bathtub, sink, countertops, etc. It works great so far on everything. It came with a hose attachment and some smaller brushes to clean the hard to get spaces. A big pro with this one is the larger water tank. I've looked at dozens of these, and this one had the largest tank with all of the attachments and features I was looking for. You can do an entire cleaning with one tank of water.The mop itself (and removable handheld portion) aren't heavy at all, the weight comes from the power cord, so when you pick it up at first you might think it's heavy, but with the cord stretched out and in use the weight balances out. Even so, the whole thing weighs something like 7 pounds anyway which isn't bad.It's super easy to use. After you plug it in and turn it on with the button on the side, you can select your floor surface and in less than 20 seconds it's ready to steam clean. It steams continuously until you turn it off, no button or trigger to hold on. The mop pads glide smoothly over vinyl flooring and tile. With the handheld portion you can switch from cleaning the bathroom floor to the tub and shower within seconds. It makes it super convenient.

How did I live without this? I cannot believe how wonderful this product cleans, gliding right across the floor and no scrubbing - just the back and forth motion is sufficient though hard spots might take 3 or more passes, that was rarely needed. Linoleium in my kitchen has never looked cleaner; I also used it on the "shower size" 4 or 5 tiles that are on the bathroom floor of this 1936 house. The grout around the toilet area has been stained since from before we moved in many years ago. Nothing ever seemed to get it looking clean...until I used the Black & Decker steam mop. What a cleaning job. No, the grout doesn't look brand new but it looks antique instead of dirty. The hand held steam mitten appeared to be missing from the box or else it was missing because it is an accessory that has to be purchased separately. I could not find it online anywhere and so reached out to Black & Decker customer service to ask about it. They kindly sent one to me - I had it two weeks later. I have not tried it yet but plan to do so on the kitchen counter tile grout. soon. The water reservoir holds 1/2 liter so if you have a large area that is more than minimally dirty, you may have to add more water to complete the job. I did not do that just turned it off and when it had cooled down and I felt like completing the job, just filled up the tank again.

We use this mostly on tile floors but it could be used on wood floors too. The cord is longer than most which is a plus. A tank full of distilled water will do our kitchen floor and almost two bathrooms if the floor isn't too dirty. The steaming functions well when you hold it over a stubborn stain or dirt. So far I've never had to get down and scrub by hand. We haven't used the extra attachments yet but I would assume they will work as advertised. The handle makes it easy to grip and it is light weight makes it easy to move around.

The media could not be loaded. We had neglected the chemicals in our hot tub for a while and had a pretty serious mold problem on the cover. When I first discovered it, I cleaned using a mold cleaner, but that didn’t take care of the problem and it came back. I use the steam cleaner on it and the results were nothing less than amazing. I have attached a video to show you how well it cleans mold off. I’ve been impressed with how well it cleansall of the other things that I’ve used it on. The cleaning mitt is a really awesome accessory. I’m very pleased with this purchase!

I received this on August 14, 2021. Fast shipping. Driver’s description says it was handed to customer. That is a flat out lie. Left on porch in rain. Funny but no photos from driver. But that’s a another matter. The ad on Amazon said the box would be damaged. So kudos for an honest description. All parts were in the box and unbroken. Directions are vague about what attachments go with what. There seems to be a lint brush attachment for the clothing steamer that’s not mentioned anywhere. Still everything seemed ok. I will see the steamer today on my ceramic tiled kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The room are not huge but do see a lot of foot traffic. Filling the body of the cleaner is kind of a pain because the power cord is attached so it gets in the way if you use the sink faucet. Not a deal breaker though. Water will come out of the filler opening with cap on if turned that way. Assembling the pad to the steamer foot takes some aim as the Velcro strips are rather thin and there are only 2. One at the top and one at the bottom. I turned on the machine to the ceramic tile setting and the machine heated quickly enough and fairly quiet. Now my other steamer has been broken for a month so my floors hadn’t gotten the steam clean for a while. At least 5 weeks. I was expecting to have to change pads at least twice just for the kitchen. Well after doing the small mud room, half bath and, kitchen the pad hardly looked used. I like to think of myself as a clean person but that just wasn’t enough dirt on the one pad. ASo, I noticed that only half the pad wad leaving a wet strip on the floor while the other half was bone dry. I overlapped the mopping pattern to ensure full coverage of the floor. Removing the pad is not the safest thing unless your wearing covered toed shoes. The mop does not cool quickly, so when you step on the little tab to remove the pad from the bottom plate, you get a nice little steam bath on your toes. After looking at the pad I realized that it didn’t clean well at all. I put a new pad on the machine and proceeded to to the full bath and hallway. Still not enough dirt on the pad to justify spending 170.00. I’ve attached several photos to show what I encountered. If you look at the one where the nozzle comes out of the bottom plate, it makes sense why the whole pad does not get steam to it. There are too many channels for the steam to try and get through and it will only follow the path of least resistance. I.E. the larger channels. It also looks like the rubber nozzle transferred a lot of the black rubber color to the bottom of the pad and to the cleaning side also. The final pictures are after I washed the pads in the washing machine. They both have the black stein on them from the rubber nozzle. No , I didn’t use any cleaner in the water with the steamer. I will be sending this back and do not recommend this product. I really didn’t care about the other attachments so I didn’t test them. If it won’t clean my floors it’s useless to me.

The mop is good sturdy and easy to use.
