Home Appliance Reviews

I recently purchased the Shark Steam Mop on a whim at my local Costco for three reasons:

1. I hate mopping because I have a very large, open tile space on the main floor, which usually takes 12 years to dry.

2. Costco would let me return it no questions asked if I am dissatisfied after giving it a whirl.

3. We are committed to cleaning our home as “greenly” as possible.

Given that the purchase was risk-free, the Shark was plopped into my cart and came home with us.

I can’t seem to find this model of Shark Steam Mop I bought on this site; the one reviewed and listed is one that retails for about $20 less than this.

What prompted me to look into a steam mop of any brand was that commercial you see all the time for the “As Seen On TV” H20 Mop. It seemed like something I could use on both tile and Pergo. I researched it as thoroughly as I could and the general consensus is that it was a piece of garbage. So I then searched for what was better, and got a few of my friends to make a recommendation, and this is where I was pointed. To a “Shark Steam Mop.” It was only after I entered the store (Bed Bath & Beyond) did I see that there were two different models, either $79.99 or $99.99.

Today I was given the opportunity to evaluate an appliance that proves you just cannot believe everything you hear; the Shark Model S3101W Steam Mop .

My wife came home after one of her infamous trips to Sam’s Club with a bundled Shark 3101 that as a bonus offered the SC 618 Steam Bottled, a toofer! I have expressed interest in a commercial steam cleaner and she thought it may be a good place to start; gotta love her!

If there is an easier way to mop a floor, I want it. Years ago, I had a Steam powered Cleaning machine that was called the shark, but it was damaged in a move. I went looking to replace it, and found the Euro Pro Shark Steam Mop

What it is

This is a glorified mop that shoots steam out to help clean the floor. The water is held in a small tank, and you plug it in, the water heats up, and emits steam to help you clean your floors. The dirt or grime is picked up with a reusable microfiber pad.
