BISSELL Lift-Off Steam Mop, Titanium



A Video Review of the Bissell Lift-off Steam-Mop


Very impressive... cleaned the bathroom on the first day! - but there is a leak issue.
Although I've wanted to try a steam cleaner for some time, I've never used one before. But I really like the idea of cleaning without chemicals. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the Bissell.

First, you have to assemble it which is very easy. There were four main parts in the box along with a number of smaller accessories (two small brushes (one labeled kitchen, the other bathroom), counter attachment, a window attachment, a grout brush attachment, two washable cloth mop heads and a washable cloth for the window cleaner).

I have 7 kids. I cook a lot and our bathrooms and floors get a lot of traffic. I thoroughly used every tool on the machine from 9:30 pm until 2:30am (I had to finish what I started!).
