How does it clean in the corners? I have a Bissell and I like it, but it doesn't get in the corners.

I haven't had any problems with corners, I assume you're talking about the 90 degree corners in a rectangular room, not nooks like behind a toilet. The steam seems to spread pretty evenly. That's just my experience; haven't really had any problems with the cleaning aspect. See my review for more details about other issues.

I find I have to turn the mop head to meet up at the corner. certain areas/rooms, it gets right in there, others, it just gets close, but I still invert the mop head in a couple of directions to get the best result. hope this helps.

I haven't had any problem cleaning the corners. I just turn it sideways to reach any corners.

It does not. The head is too big to get into the corner areas. Have you ever had the steam/water drip from the safety valve instead of going down into the mop head?

I find that it does perfectly fine in corners. The pad is a solid rectangle and you just have to push the pad into the corner and it seems to get things. I'm very happy with my Bissell Steam Mop!

I like it on my hardwood-we mostly use the small canister on our wood because you can get into corners, and under and around things such as the piano, but I use the upright at least once a month when I want to really get up every last bit of dog fuzz out of corners. We had our floors refinished about 5 years ago so we are cautious about scratches.

Ths Slim in my opion is the best upright Dyson of all. When turning it may scratch if front wheels on nozzle are sliding left-right when vacuum is not being pushed forward/backward. The front wheels roll in a straight line and are not castors and so the vac needs to be pushed and turned together to help prevent scratching (not always but sometimes this can be a problem). If pushing/pulling vac while turning - all will be fine. The Fix: Careful when turning or use a Dyson nozzle on the wand when vacuum hard surfaces. This is what I do and it works very well. Brushes on floor nozzle work better at removing sticky dust vs. the rubber blade on Slim (under nozzle). Please reply and let me know if this helps.

To answer your question specifically, no, the machine cannot go flush up against the baseboard and into corners because the cleaning brushes are recessed a small distance from the front edge of the machine. There is also a small area on either side of a threshold when moving from one room to another which the machine doesn't clean very well. This happens with a change from one flooring material to another (i.e., vinyl to tile, vinyl to wood, wood to marble). But, overall, these baseboard, corner and threshold areas are small enough that I can use a soft cleaning tool such as a mop or sponge, to my satisfaction. I hope this helps.Judy To answer your question specifically, no, the machine cannot go flush up against the baseboard and into corners because the cleaning brushes are recessed a small distance from the front edge of the machine.

I gave up on doing corners and edges. I just started to use the steam Swifter Sweeper and swear that my floors get cleaner and it does do corners and edges. And it is definitely not noisy. Hope this helps.

Perhaps the brush is bent and is not snug in the sweeper. I'm sure you can straighten it by hand. I notice the brush pops out of the sweeper if too much pressure is applied on carpeting.

It is not bad . . . but it is not perfect because it has rounded edges. It will definitely steam and sanitize the corners, but you will have to wipe the dust up.

I love this mop. I spray the bottom of the mop with Endust (not Pledge) and it removes all the dust under chairs, in corners(pretty well), and under cabinet edges. It swivels on the handle to reach almost any spot. It will push large pieces of debris into a pile, but will not pick them up like it doses dust.

I just returned my Bissel to Costco. We had had a Bissel for over 30 years...used the Bissell 9400 twice never could get suction, which meant extremely wet carpets. The Bissel hotline told me to take it back. The tools were falling out and it felt cheap with too much plastic. I'm also looking out of desperation at the Hoover Agility. Good Luck!

I agree the Pet Hair Eraser is great has worked better than any other vaccum I have owned and I have had several the latest being oreck which a first i really liked but after awhile it did not preform so well. So I got the bissell and like I said it is great!

Mine Doesn't Too. Didn't Realize It In The Picture. But It Does Clean Perfectly.

Absolutely! The Bissell will clean better. You really don't want solid dirt in the machine. It will still find some though. I vacuumed thoroughly twice and the Bissell still had some grit in the dirty water.

Yes, pretty well. I have wood floors that I use it on, and I use the narrow head attachment to get the corners. The wide brush head has a suction-control tab to get flat-vs-shag surface control for suction.

Good. You can adjust the suction. I have several and with one foot on a corner, can do these easily.

It's not the best for cleaning edges of carpet or in the corners. You could use the attachment, but you would have to clean it manually. Hope this info helps.

I don't see this problem, but I don't have wall to wall carpeting, just large area rugs (although some are rather thick it still works well on those). I also never had problems with it clogging or losing suction - but since it does do a good job, I do have to empty it more often, especially since it's small. I think once my brush stopped because it was wrapped in hair (I have long hair) and once I removed it, it was fine. So I make sure to periodically check the brush for anything wrapped around it (hair, string, etc.)

The canister is kind of big so it's hard to get very far into tight spaces, but it cleans the edges that are in reach pretty well.
