First, the pros:
1. Easy to put together-takes maybe a minute including the time to grab the screwdriver to put the handle on.
2. Price is beyond reasonable, in my opinion
3. Love never having to buy cleaners again!
4. Steam is great - heats up super quick and if general cleaning can cover most of my 800 sf of flooring in the about 20 min that the tank lasts (which was a concern because it used to take a good hour with a reg mop!).
5. Changing/refilling the water if you need to is as easy as pulling it out of the handle and taking the lid off. Takes about 30 seconds to complete the process and be back to mopping.
6. Cleaned my grout!!! Granted I used the little scrubber brush on the back of the unit (which I do wish were a little longer), but I carefully pressed on it with my foot so it would "scrub" and reach down in the gap, and in two min time it went from black to nearly new clean. I expect over time it will only improve. *note- see below for warnings/concerns with regards to this aspect
7. Floors were clean and almost instantly dry even with 2-3 run overs.
8. You can let it "sit" on an area particularly hard to clean and it will also sanitize after about 15 seconds
9. It gets super hot - yes, it really does steam steam (much like a new iron does when you press the steam button)
10. No residue left on the floor.
11. Worked on hard tile as well as hardwood floors.
12. Light -easy to carry upstairs, etc. And has a decently long cord so you don't have to keep unplugging room to room.
Now, not sure these are "cons" but perhaps more of concerns/cautions to not be misleading I any comments above:
1. When using your foot to press down on the scrubber be careful! The steam can burn your toes (yes, it gets that hot - which is good!) and can also make them wet so you could slip/fall easily. It took me some practice but so far have still found it the preferred way to go - though perhaps a scrubbie by hand could work as well if you really wanted to go that route (or had kids in need of "making amends").
2. While I said above that the floors remain relatively dry even after a few swipes, I need to mention that if trying to deep clean the floors can become quite wet esp with the highest steam setting. This is in part due to the high steam level combined with the mop head getting saturated and no longer able to absorb the water or dirt. At this point you can either have spare mop heads or follow up with a towel or other mop to dry the door and pick up the loosened dirt (easier than actual mopping as the hard part is done!). Again this isn't a defect simply a matter of practicality and really only an issue if you become obsessed as I did once you see the dramatic difference you can achieve with this thing! Regardless it can become quite slippery and even a little "messy" so wanted to mention.
3. If you leave the steamer on a spot for too long, at least with my porcelain floor, the flooring retains that heat for some time and can burn your feet if you're not wearing shoes (just a matter of prob 5-10 min but again, yes it gets that hot!). Not a big deal, but surprised my feet when I happened to step on them - not a big deal for adults, but if you have crawling or walking toddlers maybe good to know (however on the plus, they now can literally eat off the floor without concern due to the sanitizing properties). :)
4. While I did use tap water, you really should (and I will be going forward) use filtered water. I just didn't have any on hand and didn't want to run out because it was Christmas Eve.
5. While it fits beside toilets and gets in small spaces, getting the grout right up next to cabinets or walls, etc will prob require some old fashioned getting on ground and using some "Goo Gone" cleaner and scrubbing. Note, it will clean up against the walls, just not easy to scrub there.
Now with that said, proof is in the pudding so to speak, and so I included a before and after of one area of my floor so you can judge for yourself. The time lapse was approx 2min using highest steam and a little foot pressure on the scrubbie. For the close up you can tell it's the same area because I believe there's a crack in one of the tiles - though even that became less noticeable after cleaning! :)

It was beyond simple to put together and you just fill a small receptacle with water - no crazy cap like my hand steamer. It is light and glides great. The head swivels all directions making corners and uneven areas a snap. was up and steaming in minutes.
The results were frightening. The floor literally changed color before my eyes. This steamer even lifted old paint drips off the floor snd made quick work of scuff marks. This little marvel got 20 years of grime out of every inch of the floor. It took me about 2 hours to do 250 sq ft; not because it is a slow machine, but because the floor was THAT disgusting.
My learnings: 1) change the mop pad regularly. 2) go in multiple directions, like criss cross; not just a straight swipe. 3) Go slower on the back stroke for even better results. 4) Don't use with a polishing cleaner like Mop & Glow, just steam and then "Glow" after for a great shine! 5) If you are going to be doing many floors, buy more mop heads. I found even with a good rinsing, the dry pad cleans way better. As I only had 4 head pads, my friend followed my steaming with dry bath towels. I am going to buy 10 more mop heads so I can do my ehole house. 6) I left the little scrubber thing on the back fiwn in the working position for the entire job and it kicks butt. 7) Don't be afraid to let the steamer sit in a bad area for 30 seconds, I did, and years of stubborn dirt lifted right out. 8) Keeping with a small area, say 1' x 4' until it is as clean as you want it works better than multiple passes on a larger area - mainly because you can really see how clean it is getting. 9) I didn't use the fragrance disks until after the floor was spottless, then with a clean pad used the disks. They are nice, but not necessary.
There were a few globs of God knows what stuck to the floor here and there that did mot come off with the regular process, but I let the steamer sut for 40 seconds then did a fingernail scrape and off they came.
I tried it on my Pergo and it cleaned equally well, but wasn't shiny and dried funny. I used the steamer then used Orange Glow and a Wet Jet and the floor looked fabulous.
I also used it on the tile in the bathroom which has the sanded grout. It worked very well, but not as well as my hsnd steamer. I think however it would mstch up if I let it sit on the grout a bit longer and then immediately wiped with a dry towel.
I am going to buy another in case they stop making this model. It is AMAZING!

The water reservoir is quite small, but it lasts much longer than you might expect. I usually get 1-2 rooms done before having to refill the tank. That actually works out well, because that is usually when I need to switch out the pads anyway. I used to have a Shark steam mop, but I strongly prefer this Bissell. The Bissell heats up the water much faster and it's a LOT easier to attach the pads.
One note -- I strongly recommend using distilled water (as does the instruction manual)! I had to take my steam mop apart after about a year because it was no longer pumping steam all the way to the pad. After a quick disassembly, I found a ton of calcium and mineral deposits that had accumulated and blocked important passageways. I soaked the pieces in vinegar and then everything was fine. Now, I try to use distilled water as much as possible. Hopefully that won't happen again! I can't deduct points from the Steam Mop for this problem, as that's just the way the steam mop works. If you've got hard water in your city, distilled water is even more important. But, aside from this small inconvenience, I've had nothing but great experiences with my Bissell!
Top reviews from other countries
Scrubbing with some specialized floor cleaning solution does remove the grime, but we decided that it would be too tiring and bought this instead. The first, second, and third passes didn't seem to work, but then again, scrubbing took quite a while to clear it too, so we went to 5-7 passes on each section of the floor and did end up finding noticeable improvement.
The carpet attachment is also nice. I'd recommend getting the "pet" version just for that, though I don't see how specifically that has to do with pets, since it isn't meant to pick up fur (maybe it's for carpets that have been pissed on by a pet?)
I think overall, this doesn't really save you time compared to scrubbing with something specifically meant to clean floors. Heck, it might even take longer. However, what it does do is make the job a whole lot less physically demanding. I'd recommend this, though I do suppose that for sufficiently small areas, it definitely isn't necessary or worth the cost.
Works well
Cleans well
More steam head covers needed to make worthwhile as they get dirty quickly so buy extras separately!
