Why is this one cheaper than the hardwood cleaning mop? Any differences between the two ?

This one is for laminate wood floors so I can imagine the difference in price is based on the cleaning solution ingredients in the hard wood one. The mops are identical. They do sell the wood floor one in Target & Bed, Bath & Beyond, so you might want to check the pricing there if you are interested in the wood floor one.

I bought a micro fiber mop first. Found it hard due to its size so purchased the Bona. The Bona is great, easy to get into corners and lots of fibers to pick up dust and particles.

I don't know. Sent this one back. It broke the second time I used it. Bought the Rubbermaid microfiber mop. So far very pleased. Quality much better.

Dont know about the hardwood floor one but this one works well on all floors. I have hardwood and laminate I love it.

I gave up trying to find one. I ordered another but it was entirely different handle and a different mop. Too bad they make such a cheap handle when the mop works so well. Good luck in you finding one.

I only have the Bissell steam mop experience. I read many reviews and decided to get this one and is extremely happy with the product.You must use distill water.It is very light which i like.

There is no comparison. The wooly mop is the best. It holds all the dust but you do not see it until you start shaking it out. My mother always had one and it lasted forever. And once you buy the dust mop you have no refills to purchase and nothing to throw away in the landfills.

It is not a mop. It is a sweeper, the dirt gets trapped in a small tray under the bottom. I've used it on my kitchen floor a few times without having to empty it.

A shark is a steam mop, unless you are referring to just a regular mop. This one just uses a microfiber pad, which I get wet with hot water and wrong it out well. If the floor is real dirty (I have a yellow lab dog who sleeps in my kitchen and it gets quite dirty!) I will pull off the pad and rinse it off with hot water and wrong it out again... Maybe a couple times during the cleaning. I also have a shark steam mop, which I like, but I prefer using this mop. It is quick and easier and I think my floor looks and feels cleaner. Can't say I've had many tough greasy spots but cleaning just with water and the microfiber pad does an excellent job. I've given this mop as wedding shower gifts. I love it.

the same pad I use for the floors. Actuality I have multiple pads. Use one for the floors, another for windows, etc.I wash the bathroom walls - tile, all the time. This is the best mop that I ever had. Actuality it was my husband that purchased the mop and he NEVER buys anything that does not make sense to him and this did. The mop is flexible and slim - it gets everywhere and under everithing

I'm sorry that i can't offer you a comparison. I like how this bissell cleans, i like all the add-on tools, and the heavy duty sturdiness. It's heavy, practically needs its own garage, and is bulky. We think it's worth the effort. Other reviewers who like it helped me select this model, and we don't regret the purchase especially at the reasonable price. Good luck to you!

I don't think the wipes make as big a difference as the cleaner used. Swiffer also makes a cleaner designed for hardwood floors.

the bona pad is a microfiber pad (as opposed to a terry cloth). It fits the mop perfectly and goes into the washing machine so it's practical. It usually comes with the mop but I have bought an extra pad (on line) because all my house is hardwood. I imagine you could use another pad i.e. it's not going to hurt the floor and it's not going to make the Bona not work but honestly the bona pad is so easy to use, clean and fits the mop perfectly that I would not think to use something else.

No smudge marks on our floors. A helpful hint for all users of the product: instead of using a spongemop, get a mop that employs washable, replaceable, microfiber pads. They do a fine job -- and the pads usually come at least three to a package, so you can replace one in the middle of a job if it looks mucky. No buildup of cleaner (and muck) is possible with the easy-wash feature.

Silly isn't it - maybe for the convenience of buying it together - there should not be a difference. though I bought the 5200c - it is just the unit and the cradle - almost did not see the cradle in the small box taped to the bottom of the big box. I love the mint both the dry mop and the wet mop work great - if it is cheaper right now to buy them separate I would do that - it was cheaper to buy them together when I purchased them - good luck

Funny you should ask... I ordered the Smart Living Steam Mop, but got the Express and was totally confused about why the packaging and name was different from what I thought I had ordered. The unit and its parts look similar, I've been using it, and it seems to work well enough, but I wouldn't have paid this much for it if I had known because the only reason I spent the $$$ on this was because someone recommended the Smart Living Steam Mop. The other answers here are mixed. Is it or is it not the same company/vacuum?

i do not know what the difference is between the 2 cleaners. i would assume that they filters would probably be the same. you might try looking on their website (and then order from amazon) or call the company.

Sorry, James, we don't know the difference between the two models. We can tell you that ours cleans very well, but does NOT hold a charge. We need to charge the machine before and after each use to keep it reliably available whenever we need a quick clean-up...don't know if that's true in general or if it's a quirk of our particular sweeper.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.
