An Amazon user reviews the Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner: “Pros: The Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner uses nothing but water. No chemicals, no expensive solutions. I do purchase distilled since we have hard well water and the filter on my old model hasn’t needed replacing. Cleans my ceramic tile and bamboo floor quickly and effectively. The water dries very quickly. My tile never looks streaky, but the bamboo flooring does a bit. Piece of cake clean up. Toss the mop head pad into the laundry, wrap the cord up and you’re done. Small and compact, easy to store. The Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner is very quiet. I can clean after my kids are in bed and the soft steaming noise wouldn’t bother even the lightest sleeper.

Cons: The cord really is too darn short, but I’ve remedied that with an extension cord. Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner is a little short for me. This gripe isn’t very fair because EVERY mop, broom, and vacuum are too short for me (except for the Dyson) - I’m tall. But I will mention here that short women aren’t the only people who clean! My 5′10″ self and my 6′3″ husband both have to hunch over to mop the floor with this. It’d be lovely if the handle could extend. Doesn’t do a great job on grout - but nothing does. I’ve decided I just hate tile and grout period. The Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner does take some effort to push, but cleans overall more quickly than the Powered Floormate. Like any machine it can’t get right up close to the walls and though it’s mophead fits under the cabinets, it simply cannot clean right in the crack where the floor meets. So every so often I have to get down and hand scrub those areas.”
