- Kenmore S200 Series Steam Mop for Floor Cleaning

I'm in love with this mop. My husband cooks in the kitchen a lot for friends. I cannot keep up with the cleaning. It's really hard on my back and energy, so much so that I have to do the kitchen floor across two days. It always was dirty. Stuff was stuck on that I just could not get up without getting down on my hands and knees - but I cannot due to age and health issues. I was using one of those squirt mops. It was so difficult to get anything off, and you'd have to use it immediately after a spill to keep things clean, if you want the easiest cleanup. Then I got this mop. This mop is like using a vacuum across the carpet. It's that easy. It's easy on the back, and I can do my floor quickly, even when it was at its dirtiest when I first got the mop. Once it's assembled, it nearly instant to heat up - very quick. It does make a little noise - don't be alarmed. Then you're off to steaming your floor clean, with no chemicals. There's a medium and high steam setting. I set mine to high because of the stickiness, grease, and messes, but the medium setting works pretty good too. It makes the floor warm and puts out some steam to clean. It's not hot to walk on. Shoes are suggested, probably because your floor is wet and you can slip. If you wear shoes, make sure they're anti-skid, and not something like flip-flops. I'm so happy to have a clean and neat kitchen floor now. After my husband was done cooking this week (after he splattered a tray of sticky sauce and half-cleaned it) I went in with this mop and the floor was clean again in no time. My first mop didn't work properly and I had to send it back. The second one, the water door latch doesn't close after the first time it was opened. I wanted to return it too, but Amazon offered me a percentage off to keep it. So I decided to do that. The mop works just fine and I love it so much, I don't want to return for a pristine mop. This mop has been on a great sale, and what a bargain.

I really like this model. It is lightweight. It was super easy to assemble and use right out of the box. You do not add any cleaner, just use distilled water as advised. My first use I used it at low steam and that seemed fine for my home. I have vinvl planks that look like wood and I don't see any compatibility issues. . I could use a longer cord but that is not a serious issue. It is easy to remove and place the cloth cleaner pads, then into the washer for the next use. There are attachments that are a plus.

Kenmore 2 in 1 steam mop. I have owned a few steam mops which I would consider quality products. This mop is right up there. I mainly use it as a mop. It’s lightweight, versatile and gets the job done. It comes with whatever attachments you would need; jet, fan, scrub brush carpet slide and two pads. It can be used as a standup mop or handheld unit. It also has a decent warranty. Where this unit falls short, pun intended, is it’s cord length. I think its only around 13’. Not the end of the world and most similar products have the same issue. The other issue I have with this unit is that I question its disinfecting prowess when used as a mop. From what I understand, for a steam mop to be effective at disinfecting, it has to reach a temperature of 108° or better for a minimum of 8 seconds. I believe this unit gives off a steady cloud of steam at that temp but, when used as a mop the pads might hinder that. This is mainly due to the design. If you look at the bottom, there is only one jet where steam is omitted. Most units at this price point and below are designed like this, its just not limited to this unit. A better design would have multiple steam jets for more spread. For instance, a previous mop I owned had eleven jets. All in all this is a decent, well made steam mop by a well known company at an affordable price. I would recommend it unless you would like to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

I bought this on a Consumer Reports recommendation, to replace an incredible machine I'd gotten at the Wisconsin State Fair many years ago. I've used it a few times and it's quite satisfactory. It uses distilled water (I wouldn't use water from a dehumidifier as some suggested because that is not clean water unless you clean the coils and collection bucket with disinfectant regularly. The machine heats up quickly and it's maneuverable, though the head is large. Two levels of steam and a cover that's easy to remove and throw into the washer make it easy to use. Empty before storage to keep the reservoir clean. It stores flat against the wall. I recommend it.

The handle on this Steam Mop broke off from the base. The plastic connection is a bad design and is too flimsy and weak and broke with normal use. Because this happened on it's third use and three months later, Amazon would not allow a return or a refund. Kenmore said they might do a replacement but this made no sense to me. Why would I want the same flawed product as a replacement? They refused to give me a refund. Don't buy. Find a more durable product.

I’m not impressed. I bought this to replace my first gen Shark steam mop that finally kicked. This was on sale and significantly cheaper than a new Shark. I was intrigued by the handheld steamer and carpet glide attachment. This lacks the oomph of my old Shark and it stopped steaming several times during a quick mop to reheat, taking twice as long to mop the area as my old mop would have. The carpet glide works fairly well, but it’s just another thing to store when I’m not using it. It has a large water capacity and the handheld seems to have more power than mop, but I’ll go back to a Shark once this one quits.

Bought this Consumer Reports highly rated steam mop to clean tile floors. It cleans well! Our kitchen floor had some gunk tracked it that needed to be scrubbed. The scrub brush and the high steam setting got it all up with some persistence. My only complaint is that I wish the brush was easy to remove for cleaning. I had to clean the gunk out several times before the floor was clean. You get plenty of steam on either the Hi or Low steam settings. The cord is plenty long enough and wraps in the cord holders easily. Use distilled water. The time from ON to hearing steam is less than 30 seconds. The mop is comfortably light weight. Recommend being careful with engineered wood or when cleaning grout. CR does not recommend using steam for real or faux wood despite all of the videos you can find doing it. Could cause buckling is their claim. I used the brush to dig the grout out of our bathroom tile and had to replace it. (Thought it was dirt. It wasn't.). The wider grout in our kitchen was cleaned by the brush with no problem. Again, cleaning grout with aggressive brushing and high steam is not recommended. Otherwise, wish we had bought a Kenmore steam mop a long time ago.

I use this mop every week for quick house maintenance and my Thursday clean whole house day. The washable pads have stood up to so much abuse from my dirty floors making my floors clean and shiny. The weight is light enough to go from room to room with no issues. You can easily maneuver the mop around with one hand it's so light. What I like most about it, the kenmore SM2050 2 in 1 hard floor steam mop is that it's easier to use than a traditional mop. It's cleaner to have around than a traditional mop. You don't have to already have hot water the mop heats so fast on its own. What I do I plug in the red light comes on I don't even wait 2 minutes the red light beeps I click the button and go. You can also hear the machine steam and that will indicate it's ready to use as well. I spot check my floor for stubborn mess and spray cleaner then go over the spot with the kenmore. Works for me and it will work for you too I'm sure.

Total waste of time ordering from Amazon sg only to discover this only works on voltage in the U.S. What is the point of putting it on the sg website? Waste of time and returns.

Very user friendly product. I wish the water container could be larger in the next design to reduce the frequency of refilling.

When we use first time, it works fine. When second time using steam function is not working
