H2O Steam Mop Ultra

This product does clean but it's extremely heavy accross the floor, and it took a very very long time for the floor to dry. For me, it took more than an hour for my hardwood floor. The mop itself is heavy as well. I would not reccommend this product to anyone.

I was seriously considering purchasing the H20 Ultra Steam mop since I have 1600 sq. feet of engineered hardwood floors. However, your review gave me pause for thought. Why do you think there are so many positive reviews? This website provided the only negatives I could find which indicate that the mop leaves hardwood floors wet!

Thank you for your taking the time to respond.

Karen-I have not used the mop, but I can say one thing about reviews. The internet is full of people paid to write them. People are paid to visit the forums and positively review products as well as write articles with a positive slant.

I recently purchased the H2O Mop and was disappointed with it. I thought it would make cleaning easier but it made my laminate floors really wet and I had to use my old mop after to dry it or it would leave water streaks. The whole idea is to use steam to clean the floors but using the steam makes the pad really wet, turn the steam off and all you clean with is water. It does not perform as it says. It made more work for me. I would not have bought it had I been aware.

I just order an ultra mop a while ago, foes it really work in cleaning carpet? Are you going to return your mop?

I just got off the phone trying to get a warranty replacement for the mop I purchased in late November, 2009. I haven't even made my third and last payment of $33.00 yet and this company will not help me replace a broken mop handle that happened when I bumped the mop head against a table leg. I'm not a real power mopper, so I believe there was a flaw in the plastic on this mop, but Thane wants me to send $72.00 to get a new handle. Some warranty, right?? Please, if you are interested in a steamer-mop, don't buy this one. I know there are other ones out there that have to be better than this one.

I bought the Ultra about 2 months ago. It is only OK on my hardwood floors, good on the tile floors, great on grout and esoecially great on the barbecue grill, etc, stove top, and decent on oil spots on the driveway. I had no problem with Thane sending me a new unit including the water tank and filter. They were very polite and sent the replacemnet steamer at no EXTRA COST or shipping cost plus EXTENED the 30 day return policy. I do agree it is not what I had hoped for with my cherry wood hardwood floors so I just ordered the Haan Steam Mop and I hope this will work for the hardwood floors. I plan to keep the H20 because as I said for me it saves me a lot of time on the barbecue, grout, and my children's toy's. Again I had no problems with the company sending a replacement FREE OF EXTRA CHARGES.

on 1/26/10 I informed everyone I ordered the Haan Steam mop. Well I put it to the test on our cherry hardwood floors, tile and upholstery kitchen chairs. Very disappointed, the pads work for about a 5 x 5 area (hardwood) then gets real wet more than the H20 Ultra. The H20 dried faster to the same area and was cleaner based on white paper towels. So I am going to return it to Bath and Beyond and switch it out for the Shark pocket. I hope the Shark works on the hardwood floors with the purple duster. I 'll let you know. Hope this was helpful.

How good is the Shark pocket work?
