it says vacuum. does this product actually have suction or is it just a steam mop?

As far as I could tell it is just a stem mop, and not a very good one at that....

I just got mine, but we bought my mother this mop about 5 years ago from bed, bath and beyond and she is having no problems. I just mopped my floors yesterday, I wish shark would of included like a scrubber pad type thing. If you have like greasy dirt on floor, this mop will not clean it, I have to manually remove the grime. I found spraying a little floor cleaner on the dirty area first helps. Good suction on the broom vacuum part.

It is only one mop. You can use it as a mop. Then take off the handle to carry around a hand held steam cleaner to use in kitchen or bathroom or any other place that you need to use a hand held steam cleaner, And the hand held can be used a clothes steamer to get wrinkles out of clothes.

I think it would hold dust. I like the results better when I have swept or vacuumed the floor first. It doesn't have any suction, it just uses a fitted cloth that steam goes through to the floor to mop. I have laminate flooring and I do like the clean feel of the floor after steam mopping.

I wouldn't recommend this Bissell Steam Mop Hard Floor Cleaner to anyone. It is a terrible product.

yes it is. if you put a dust mop pad it can dust mop and if you put a mopping flat mop on it you can wet mop, using the solution you've put in the solution chamber.

it doesn't include the vacuum. you can buy the vacuum separately here on amazon as well.

The machine does have a suction cycle. It extracts most of the water but the carpet is still damp. We have rented larger carpet cleaners and we have had carpet professionally cleaned. The carpet is no more damp than with other methods.

It does not steam and it is suppose to vacuum up the water/cleaning solution you sprayed on the carpet along with the stain, however the suction is very poor so it does not suck up much water. I have to blot up the wet solution with an old towel or paper towel. The brush agitates to work in the cleaning solution, that is the only value to this machine, or you could just spray your carpet with a good cleaning solution and agitate by hand with a brush, blot up with a towel and you can do the same thing without buying this.

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

I think in a steam mop you should only add distilled water. This is concentrated and needs to be mixed with water and then you can put it on the floor before you steam mop.

Mine stopped working and it was out of warranty so I threw it away. Would not recommend anyone buying this steam mop.

The pump is built in the handle. The act of pushing and pulling actually pumps the mop. I do stop and pump it several times to get a blast of steam. Read the answer from "The_chief", that has been my experience with this mop.

It won't vaccuum or replace a vacuum.You need to vac first, then steam mop. It sanitizes and polishes the floor to an amazing clean, but it does not suck up pet hair.

It's not a sponge mop. There are disposable cloths that you attach to it. I use microfiber cloths and push them around with the mop.

I haven't found ANY steam mop that will 'clean' grout very well. It will clean fairly well if you let the mop sit on an area for a few seconds, but it won't scrub the grout lines if that's what you're looking for. For that matter neither does my hard floor cleaner by another well known floor cleaning company.
