1132A Symphony Steam Mop and Steam Vacuum for Hardwood and Tile Floors

FINALLY!!! A fabulous invention that saves me HALF the time in cleaning my floors. Recently installed new laminate floors throughout my home. I love them - except boy do they get dusty and dirty quickly!!! After months of sweeping/dusting then mopping, I hopped onto Amazon searching for an all in one system. I LOVE this Symphony!! A few things took a little learning curve, which I'm sure are what other folks complained about -but once I figured them out, it works great! - The vacuum suction inlet is directly in the middle of the front of the vacuum. Not along the whole front edge, like a traditional vacuum. So, aim for the dirt with the center of the leading edge in a forward direction. Backwards doesn't work as well. - The water inlet door is kind of weird to open at first. Pinch and pull the top outward. - The unit comes with 4 cloth mop head covers. Wet them, wring them out and rinse/change them every so often, because they do get dirty and if you keep mopping with a dirty mop, you're going to get mud where the dust was. Other reviewers complained about this - but think about it... this is not a problem with the machine, folks, you can't expect to mop a whole home without rinsing the mop, nor should you expect one cloth mop cover to mop the whole house without being rinsed. That's why they give you FOUR of them! THE CONS- The power cord is really short. Like waaayyy too short. I bought a 10' extension for $3 and it solved the problem - just buy one with a 3 prong receiver. THE PRO'S I now clean all the floors in my home in half the time I spent before. The steam doesn't bother my laminate floors at all, and they come out sparkling clean and streak free!

Best otem I ever bought on Amazon ! This thing vaccums the floor and then steams it clean Like disinfecting my floors weekly. Very essy to set up. Poor the water in , turn it on, wait 60 seconds a boom ready to clean the floors ! Perfect on my ceramic tile floors. Its so hot that by the time I finish the line , its dry already. This is a must have item for any home. Especially if you have pets or kids. You will love how clean the floor feels under bare feet. This is the only sweep mop vac tool you will ever need again. Quality workmanship. Easy to use. Gets very very very hot, on the floor that is. I always wanted one, just wasnt sure. Now I know. Cant live without it now !!

As with anything, there are good things about this product and some things I would improve upon. I've had it a couple months now, and absolutely adore it. I've been able to get rid of my old vacuum and mop (though I kept my Roomba... a necessity for anyone with dogs as far as I'm concerned). It took me a little bit to figure out how to get the steam started because the instructions aren't really clear on it. Turns out my problem was that the water filter has to be completely flush with the machine to work, which I mention below. Pros: --Vacuum works well. I primarily wanted this to replace my non-steam mop, which would leave strips of dog hair and lots of water residue on the floor. This does great at picking up between Roomba cycles. I love my Roomba, but it's hit or miss on what I call "getting drunk" and stuck places mid-cycle, or running out of battery before a full clean. --Fast, light steam cycle. I have bamboo floors which are sensitive to moisture, but the machine uses very little water and the floor dries quickly. It doesn't take the machine long to warm the water for steam. --Gets stuck on spots up easily. I used to have to use elbow grease with my old mop, but this will lift the spots up if you leave it on the spot a little longer than the rest of the floor. --Disposal tank cleans easily. Since water is involved, the debris picked up doesn't empty as a normal vacuum contents would. However, this is very easily negated by the ease of rinsing the tank in the sink. Honestly, I prefer this anyway so you don't get gross stuck on who-knows-what living in the tank. --4 mop pads are the perfect amount. I never run out. I usually have 1-2 to wash, leaving me with at least 2 ready to go at any given moment. --Compact design. Doesn't take up much storage space. To be aware of: --The filter that works with the steam/water portion dislodges occasionally. It's minimal, but enough to stop the machine from producing steam. It's really easy to push it back in, and the amount of time the 2 in 1 has saved me makes it worth the minimal trouble. I have an extra child-proof fridge lock that I'm going to attach which will eliminate the problem altogether. --I can't speak for those who aren't cleaning floors frequented by 2 large dogs, but sometimes the vacuum portion gets clogged with dog hair. The whole bottom portion of the vacuum comes off and it's super easy to clear the clog. Can't say the same for my old Dyson, where I had to get creative with pipe cleaners. --It's a little difficult to clean rugs. I have low pile rugs, so I can't speak about more carpet-like rugs. The corners of my rugs aren't secured to the ground, so it's not the easiest to keep them secure when steaming them. The machine doesn't push as easily on rugs, either. HOWEVER, I got this so I wouldn't have to scrub the rugs on my hands and knees so this is something I can overlook. It takes next to no time to do the hardwood in my house, and not too long for the rugs. (I'll also say that if you look at the pictures of what this actually is, you can most likely deduce that it's not going to glide like a vacuum would on rugs.) --You have to press down the button on the handle in addition to the steam level in order to have it steam. Not a huge deal, but after a bit your hand gets tired of gripping. It really only takes me 10 minutes to do the entire house, so, again, not a big problem for me. If you have arthritis, this may not be your best option.

This All-in-One Vacuum and mop is AMAZING! I have a lot of laminate flooring in my home, upstairs and downstairs. I used to DREAD floor cleaning day. Even to just daily sweep was a huge chore. I have 4 children and 2 dogs, so you can imagine how dirty my floors can get. It used to take me 3-4 hours to sweep and then mop my floors. This machine saves me an incredible amount of time! I can do ALL floors, vacuum and mop in under an hour! I have been using this product for a month now and have told so many about it and how they HAVE to get one. I love the convenience or it doing both jobs at once. The vacuum is excellent, great for crumbs in the kitchen, and wonderful for dog fur. I use the vacuum sometimes alone. Honestly, my floors feel 10x cleaner with this steam mop then they ever felt with the mop and bucket of cleaner. If I had to pick one thing I would change about this product, it would be to make it a little lighter. Its a little on the heavy side but its not unbearably heavy.

No lo puedo creer lo bien que limpia. Primero aspiré mi cocina y lavandería para quitar todo el polvo y cualquier basurita. Después empecé con el trapeador de vapor en la misma área (porque sólo le puse medio tanque de agua para probarlo) y los terminé haciendo dos veces incluyendo el cuarto y baño de servicio y todavía seguía con parte del tanque... pensé que iba a durar una superficie no muy grande y abarcó casi 80 metros. Bueno.... la toalla de limpieza quedó NEGRA literlamente. Estaba super sucia y me dio mucho gusto verlo porque entendí que logré quitar hasta bacterias y eso me encantó. Tardé no más de 15 minutos en hacer el área (me tardé más en terminarme el vapor) así que estoy muy contenta por esta adquisición. Otra cosa que me gustó mucho fue que si encontraba alguna basurita tirada mientras usaba el vapor puedes prender igual tu aspiradora y aspiras la basurita sin dejar de trapear... Me encanta!!!

The 2 level steam function is great for use on both hardwood and ceramic tile. The ability to vacuum and mop at the same time is also phenomenal as it cuts cleaning time in half, as well as not requiring harsh chemicals to clean. The unit is a little harder to push when using the steam mop but it is not too bad. The vacuum could be stronger but I don't think this is the main function of the unit as it is probably meant for lighter cleanup and not a full deep clean. It is able to vacuum my floor rug just fine but will likely not do a good job on higher pile carpets/rugs. The unit is easy to empty of debris and easy to fill with water. The water tank will last roughly a full floor (~900-1000 sq. ft) before needing a refill.

Esta aspiradora es muy práctica. Limpia muy bien los pisos duros. No sé si sirva para alfombras. Sus desventajas: es bastante ruidosa y el hecho de que tiene cable.
