Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Reliable Steamboy T1 Steam Floor Mop
Customer Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is WONDERFUL. I have ceramic tile floors through out my home. I have a 4 year old boy that loves to play outside and come in frequently to cool off. My floors are filthy until I clean them with the steamboy. Here are some things to consider. Reuasble mops are unsanitary and the chemicals that you use to clean with are expensive, unhealthy for people and pets, and are bad for the environment. This product does a wonderful job with just hot water! Some compliants I have read are unfounded if the product is used the correct way. Here are some tips pump the trigger on and off while pushing the steamboy back and forth. Allow a few seconds for steam recovery when the sound of steam seems to be lessening. Some people complain that the cord is too short - it shouldn't be an issue if you take two seconds to move to another outlet. Some complain that it doesn't hold enough water. By the time you run out of water you would need to replace the filthy pad with the clean one. Do both at the same time! As with anything, this is NOT a miracle item - it's a cleaning tool. With a little common sense and expectations that are set correctly you WILL LOVE THIS PRODUCT!Customer Review: Handy little guy beats cleaning the floor with mops and buckets
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this product. However, make sure you follow the directions and vaccum before you use it. I thought I could skip it and ended up having to go back and vaccum up big, wet clumps of hair/dust/ick that had accumulated along the baseboards and in corners. The cord is kind of short which is mildly annoying because you have to switch outlets alot. It works in my house in Japan with the lower voltage which was a pleasant surprise. Also, the pad came out of the washer perfectly clean. I'm not sure this guy is massively better than a Swiffer wet mop, but it definitely does what its supposed to do. A battery pack would definitely make it five-star material. Customer Review: Works GREAT!

Reliable T1 Steam Mop Deluxe Kit
We just moved into a new house and had over 1600 sq. ft. of porcelian tile installed. We moved from a house with all carpet, so cleaning the tile was a new experience.
We started with a dust mop for sweeping up (a daily chore), then cleaned the dog prints with a sponge mop. The dust mop was OK, but the sponge mop was becoming a major chore. We did find a web site that recommended some O-Cedar mop products we tried them out, but still a major chore.
By accident, we were watching a Infomercial on TV that raved about a steam mop product. It looked so easy, we almost bought one on the spot, but common sense prevailed and we went to the web to check out reviews. Oops, the TV product got pretty poor reviews, so back to the drawing board.
While reading the steam mop reviews we ran across the Relaiable Steamboy at Amazon. Most of the reviews were good, and as always there were some poor ones to go along with the good. After careful review it appeared that the poor reviews could have been user error.
We were getting desperate. Since the Steamboy had a number of good reviews we felt we would give it a try.
What a WONDERFUL product. We have been using it for a week with excellent sucess. Just water and the proof is in the pad. From the looks of all the dirt on the pad as we are cleaning, we must have been living like pigs. (Actually we have two dogs and they don't help).
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Just water, wait 20 - 30 seconds for it to warm up and when you first start it is a little dry so you need to push it around a bit while holding the button down to dampen the mop. Within a minute the mop is damp and the dirt comes up.
We bought extra mop pads, which is a good plan. We use at least two pads to do the house, but it is shiny clean. The floor dries in around 5 minutes and all is great.
We highly recommend the product.

This mop will leave a wet mess.
Unless you're looking for a wet mop (sure you can find one less expensive than this), don't waste your time and money on this product.
I received this as a wedding gift from bed bath and beyond...(by the way, it took almost a month to receive), I'm going to return it for store credit...
Customer Review: Well ... I like it
Summary: 4 Stars
It works. I guess it could be lighter - but I kind of swing it back and forth, and it's pretty good in corners with it's pointy shape.
IT COULD USE AN ON/OFF SWITCH. Four Stars because I have to unplug it and remove the water holder to stop it from steaming and leaking! But, as far as I'm concerned, it beats using a mop! I made some extra pads from yellow Micro-fiber Auto Cloths 16"x16" - cheaper than buying the extra's, I use 6 or 7 at a time. I just trade them as I go and toss the dirty ones in the washer. These days, I use a light weight vacuum and then my Steamboy - I try to make it easy on myself! The Steamboy is sturdy, works well,fast shipping, I recommend!
