Customer Review: Deluxe vs. Standard: Worth the Cost? Plus My In-Depth Review!
Summary: 5 Stars
So first off, I know you're probably wondering: What's the difference between this "Deluxe" model vs. the "Standard" model (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RPVHZU?tag=a52-20&ie=UTF8), other than color?
===== Deluxe vs. Standard =====
I love the deluxe package because you get some fancy extras that you don't get with the standard model, including: two luxurious reusable/washable "deluxe" pads (which are thicker and less susceptible to wear), the wall hanger, the carpet glider, and some scented water.
My favorite of the two is the carpet glide, which serves as a "carpet refresher" by killing germs that may be hiding in your carpet. The steam may also weigh down any loose dander/hair assuming you hadn't vaccuumed prior to your carpet-refreshing session.
The bottle of eucalyptus-mint fragrance water was also nice. It smells decent, and more importantly, it's approved for use with the steam mop, as it is purified. The water was good for 2 uses. After you use it up, you'll definitely want to use purified water if you choose not to buy any more of Bissel's special water. It makes the water filter last a lot longer, and the instructions state to use only distilled water (which is absolutely pure water).
But understandably, color is a common factor in purchasing one unit over another, and between the two models there appears to be no physical difference beyond color. My only question for Bissell: is it blue or is it gray? Either way, it's an odd color. But I'm not too picky as long as it works great.
===== Effectiveness =====
And as far as function is concerned, indeed it is great. It got out the following stubborn stuff:
* dried tar from over 2 years ago
* dried cat vomit
* sticky popsicle drips
* shoe scuff marks
* pumpkin puree
* everyday stains/spills
I first wanted to get this after seeing it on TV. I had been using a Swiffer Wet Jet, but my floors didn't get clean, just sticky from product build-up. I wanted to be able to clean with just a little bit of water.
===== The Unit Itself =====
Assembling the unit is as easy as two screws. The cord is plenty long, but a bit stiff because it is a grounded plug. The trigger to create steam can be awkward: it can get tiring to be pulling the trigger while moving the mop forward and back. I like to actively steam the whole floor, so I'd prefer a switch instead of a trigger. The steam head is also a bit awkward because of the thickness of it (can't get under the kitchen vent cover), and it's rounded corners can't get into the corners of the room. Bissell makes a big point of their water filter on the ads, but the directions clearly state to use distilled water in the unit.
===== Using the Mop =====
It is ready to use in seconds (after the lengthier first use):
* Plug in the unit
* Fill up the water canister and attach
* Pull the trigger for steam
* Wait 1-2 seconds for it to get to the mop pad
* Voila, you are cleaning with steam!
It's just that easy. I noticed some streaking the first 3 or so times it was used, because the steam was breaking up the product build-up. After that, my floors just got clean.
===== Floors Used On =====
I've used it on four types of floors:
* Seamless linoleum
* Wood-look linoleum planking
* Peel-and-stick vinyl tiles
* Carpet, for occasional refreshing
You may know that linoleum planking and vinyl tiles do not recommend using a mop and bucket because the excess water will cause the seams to lose adhesion, etc. With the steam mop, you can clean your whole floor with just 2-4 cups of water instead of a whole bucket. It also dries in minutes. Your floors will still get wet as this is not a dry steam, but it is still so much less water than a mop and bucket.
