Shark Automatic Steam Mop with Blaster & 6 Gripping Pads, S8201UKCP | 3 Tiers, Stain & Dirt Removal, All Sealed Hard Floors, 8m Cord, Standard, Sage Green, S8201UKCP

I needed to replace my old Shark steam mop and had a look to see what the new version was.Wow this is such an uplift on the old one.So easy to set up and use a child could do it.It practically moves itself, your really just guiding it. The rotating heads do a fabulous job.Very minor but because the heads rotate it doesn’t clean corners and you will need a funnel to fill it.Otherwise it is the best thing since sliced bread,my floors have never been so clean

Sensational. Total gamer-changer for weekly home clean.I hadn’t mopped the floors in my apartment for weeks, maybe even months. This is because adding a mop and bucket task to the end of a 2-hour cleaning marathon on a weekly basis just wasn’t practical or realistic, so I would always leave it until the school holidays.This Shark electric steam mop is a life-saver. It made mopping the floors so effortless. Why did I not know about this sooner?!It takes seconds to warm up. The mop glides so easily, with hardly any physical effort other than directing it. It’s not too heavy so you don’t feel tired. It did a great job, my floor haven’t felt like this since I first moved in to my new home. I’ve walking around barefoot because the floors feel great. The whole thing felt like it only took 20 minutes to mop the entire flat.My other bragging points are that it’s not noisy. It doesn’t take up much storage space. Putting it together was a breeze. It came in a colour scheme that beautifully matched my home, well done on that design folks.The only tiny improvement is that it can’t get right in the corners.

Whilst a five star review is quite generous, there are just a few things small things that shark could do that would improve this. Things like the cable tidy as usual with all upright vacuum cleaners and this type of thing the cable tides are awful and the water tank filling it could be slightly redesigned to make it a little easier. It isn’t difficult but it is fiddly saying that a full water tank will do a very good area. I have a 90 meter apartment and it doesn’t use a full tank and nearly all of my floors are hard floors except two bedrooms which do have carpets I have found some fun ways to use this because it is so easy and it is a pleasure cleaning the floor when I moved here a few weeks ago there was just an ordinary mop. I’m trying to clean the floor was back breaking. I am quite tall and using a mop bucket nearly broke my back so I looked around and I opted for this and I am pleased I did so unpacking it is a bit of a mission. It is not easy it is quite difficult putting it together. It’s very easy but the unpacking is yuck! At least you only have to unpack it one time it has a nice weight not overly heavy but it certainly is not light when an operation as to switch it on and leave for a couple of minutes for the steamed to generate once it has done that which is only maybe two or three minutes you are good to go, to start the pad rotating just tilt it back on the pad will start rotating automatically and you will notice it’s pulling you away but it is pulling you away in a good way which means it feels like it. It is just gliding across the floor and with a slight tilt of the rest you change direction the coverage is excellent even though you have two rotating bad they do not leave a streak in the middle. I do use a floor detergent with the mix and it dries within one to 2 minutes which was surprising by the time I have got to the end of the cleaning everything is dry. I’ve also discovered how to adapt it. I have a fairly large walk in shower which I often fear of slipping in so I decided to try this in the shower to clean the shower tray and it works amazingly since I’ve done this the shower tray does not have any slip on it at all and I felt safe showering againI can highly recommend this if you have a relatively large hard floor area which you like to keep nice and clean. I have had many comments about how clean my floor is and how shiny it is and I think the shy is probably down to the detergent that I’m using. I’ve never used it before so it is all new to me but I’m extremely happy I didn’t want to give this four stars just because there are a couple of things that you could do with tweaking from shark so it has to be a five.Storage is very easy. It’s less than a vacuum cleaner and is very stable upright.If you’re looking for something that does a very good job that is easy and light and easily to manoeuvre then it’s perfect. It is not the cheapest on the market and perhaps not the highest rated but for my purpose and I am a bit of a clean freak this works very very well.

Overall, I’m satisfied that it’s killing bacteria, removing hidden grease and pulling up dirt. Just doing my kitchen and living room, the pads look 40% dirtier compared to new and usually I sweep / antibac mop with kettle water once a week or so.Positives;Very light weight (one hand) and does the work for you compared to a mop, easy to manoeuvre about (I’d recommend for elderly / disabled) - decent power chord length - quick drying - easy to build, the handle just clicks in and remove all packaging. Stands upright with no support.Negatives;Small water tank, doesn’t leave that ‘clean’ feeling after like a mop would…Price is wayyy too steep for what you getHad this been £95 or under, absolutely a steal.But at the time paying £139 it’s got me questioning to return or not as it’s expensive / upper end for output, you’re basically paying an extra £65 premium just because it’s Shark and the pads spin for a better scrub. Honestly it really depends on usage, if you spill a lot of food with little ones or pets sure it’s great (or stone surfaces), for general sensible cleaning on standard laminate it is overkill.

Game changer for cleaning floors especially if you have large areas.very Easy to use.Tips:deep mode cleans the best.Spray the floor lightly with your favourite scented floor cleaner if you like a nice smell then just use the shark over it. Works great with the steam. Instructions are clear, DO NOT put any detergent inside the water bottle though.Water bottle could do with being bit bigger as you have to fill up frequently especially if you use the steam blast feature. Easy to do thoughI’d definitely recommend this after having various mops, steamers on the market. This one is the best

Had this steam mop now for a couple of weeks and have been very happy with it. We have two large dogs who get very mucky after being in the garden and our old steam mop wasn’t performing so well. This mop has made steaming through so much quicker and the results have been great particularly in high traffic areas where the dogs come in from outside. The cord is a lot longer than other steamer cleaners so you can cover a far greater area without the need to move to a different socket to reach. The pads are very easy to attach and stay in place very well whilst steaming. You have to make sure they’re aligned well otherwise there is some shake but it’s easy to set them. I would definitely recommend this cleaner as it has made the job of cleaning the floors so much quicker and the performance has been great so far.

If a floor cleaner can be fabulous, this is it! I've got cushionfloor in the kitchen that has little dimples, perfect for trapping all kinds of stuff. It cleans perfectly, right up to the edges of the cupboards. If there's a really tricky spot, I spray the floor with Nancy Birtwhistle's eco floor spray and then zap it with the Shark. A really easy way to clean the floor.

I bought this product after my previous steam mop broke down.I’m extremely happy with this purchase. Although this steam mop is heavier than my previous one, it is actually easier to use, especially as I have lower back issues. The spinning scrubbing pads create a slight hovering / gliding effect, making cleaning feel much smoother and less strenuous.The detachable water tank is also a great feature and makes refilling much easier.5/5, I would strongly recommend it.

Very disappointed with this. Worked perfectly for the first few weeks. Then container for water would no longer stay put andKeptFalling out. Had to put a tie wrap on it to keep in place. Sometimes it takes aCouple of attempts to get it going
