S3973D

I've had several steam mops. This is my favorite. I'm a shark brand fan anyway, but this mop can do so much and is a great investment. It heats up crazy fast so there is minimal waiting for steam. I've cleaned sealed/ stained concrete floors, hardwood, linoleum, ceramic tile, mirrors, glass, etc. It streaks on glass but not much worse than a paper towel. It does a great job with dirty dog footprints, daily grime, soap scum, and more. I like being able to flip the pad over to use a clean side. The triangle head attachment is very useful, but the others are a waste. The triangle pad was worn out after one use though, and no longer has the scrubby nubs on it, but it still works (just no scrubbing). When detaching it and using on showers, walls, etc, it does get very heavy holding it and the hose isn't long enough to sit the unit on the floor and use it, so you always have to hold it up. Also, my finger hurts from having to press the button nonstop while using the detached unit. So be prepared for some effort on the detached unit, but as a mop it's lightweight and super easy to use. Love it and it was a great price.

Wow. I never thought I’d write a review this quick. Steam mop is great. I used the detachable handheld steamer for my grout lines in kitchen. Seen the dirt lift up with ease. Using mop is a breeze. Only downfall is the button to detach mop head. It use to be at the top. Pressing the button, while lifting the machine in the air, Or bending over, is a bummer. Price, excellent at the time.

I recently ran into some health problems, and after months of being misdiagnosed I finally found a good doctor who figured it out. Norwegian scabies are incredibly difficult to get rid of. After failing treatment a couple times (where I was covering myself with sulfur day after day and cleaning the entire house multiple times a day) I ended up getting this steam mop and credit it as making the difference that finally helped me beat the bugs. The steam that comes out of the mop head on hi gets up to and stays around 85 degrees Celsius after 3 minutes or so. Most mites can not survive temperatures greater than 60 degrees Celsius. Using this tool made my daily cleanings a breeze (actually looked forward to steaming, much more fun than the vacuum and scrubbing), and since I've been cleared I've found many more uses for it (just today I used the handheld mode to clean my car). The handheld mode is awesome for so many situations, it is unfortunate that the head for handheld mode can not be replaced, but I've gotten around that a few different ways: 1) Using old (clean) socks, chenille socks work especially well and are actually much easier to load onto the attachment than the stock head. 2) Zip tying the less used triangle heads to the attachment (I figured out a way to do this where I can just pop it off and on pretty easily without having to cut/use more zip ties). 3) Clamping a microfiber cloth to the attachment. I love how the handheld mode uses the trigger instead of just staying on, so I can get it to just the right temperature to clean more sensitive surfaces like painted drywall (1-5 second bursts as recommended in the manual). I love how light it is, and how easy it is to refill using the supplied measuring container. I use distilled water (as recommended in the manual) from my home distiller and it cleans glass with zero streaking, beautiful. I've found this also seems to amplify the cleaning effect of any cleaning chemicals I pretreat the floor with for more stubborn grime, and definitely beats getting down on all fours to scrub the floor with soap and water the old fashioned way. I also got a cheap extension cord so I can reach the entire house from one outlet. The included cord is long enough for most quick jobs and short enough to keep the weight and bulk down. I love how there's a clip by the handle that keeps the cord conveniently out of my way. I love how I can take off the mop head and use the empty bracket to easily steam our carpets and iron out our rugs. I wash the heads in "sport wash" (the manual recommends gentle detergent) and that seems to keep them scrubbing as well as day one. I very rarely write reviews, but this mop literally changed my life for the better, and things like that are rare. This thing is a real MacGyver's dream.

I got this on a Black Friday sale and am so glad I did! I wanted a steam mop and was thrilled with the additional functionality of this model. As it turns out, I use the handheld portion of this much more than I do the mop. The mop does a good job and makes my floors shiny, but when I use it in tight spaces, I’ve accidentally hit the release button on the removable portion a few times and had it fall off and spin around the floor, spewing steam. (That’s why the four stars instead of five.) I can chalk it up to my clumsiness and user error, but felt it was worth a mention. The handheld part has been amazing! My counters have never been so clean and shiny! Sticky and greasy messes don’t stand a chance! My stove is clean, even the hood! I’ve used it to clean so many different things at this point… I’m just looking for excuses to use it!

This has been a great tool so far. I have a cleaning business and it provides my clients with a sanitized floor and receive great reviews in turn.

Love it use it almost everyday appliances floors curtains bathroom works great !!!

This is a well designed piece of equipment. It is light, easy to use. Today is the second time I used it and did not need the instructions, because everything about it makes sense. I have tile and laminate flooring and need only to use the low steam setting. It is easy to fill with water; it takes about two fillings to do my floors (a larger area may take more, but the unit is easy to turn on and off). The steam starts very quickly once it is turned on. The dirt grip pad goes on very easily and can be flipped when one side gets dirty. The head swivels easily for maneuverability and goes under furniture including the bed. The tiles are shiny and clean when I am done. The handheld steamer is firmly attached, but detaches easily. I used the handheld steamer with the small attachment to clean the stainless steel and glass front of my microwave and gas stove. I also tried out the clothes steam and it works well too. The electrical cord is a great length and I am learning to manage it and hold it out of the way so I don't get tangled up in it. I appreciate the electric power, however, and wouldn't trade it for a batter operated unit. Extra dirt grip pads can be purchased, but the one that comes with the unit can be scrubbed up clean as new. I would recommend it for its lightness, ease of use and effectiveness.

I've purchased this Shark S3973 for my wife in Singapore. Though the Seller replied the voltage is 210v, it is not. It is 110v. So I have to return it. And the factory box is not even sealed, so there is little trust in the content. Another problem is shipping in Singapore. Many products are simply shipped in the Manufacturer's box packaging, which is typically dirty or slightly damaged, with the DHL labels slapped right onto the box. This is generally unacceptable and very unprofessional, unlike in America whereby all products are shipped in an additional Amazon box with additional protective materials. I believe Amazon Singapore must do better to grow in Asia.

Little bit disappointed. I know that this is a great tool as I had it before in US so when moved to UK decided to buy it again. Got too excited and unpacked everything but when noticed US plug I checked the user guide and this one is not for UK voltage- it’s for 110V-120V which is mentioned in the description but not easy to find. This one should not be sold in UK!

Gracias llegaron bien, a tiempo y son del mismo material que las originales solo que en color blanco gracias

Me llegó rápido el paquete, trae todos los accesorios que se ven en la imagen y funciona muy bien, una vez que cargas con agua y está prendida tarda como 45 segundos para que saque el vapor a la potencia adecuada, es muy eficiente para limpiar los pisos aunque el paquete solo trae una toalla para el piso así que tuve que comprar unas más para que me alcanzará para limpiar todo lo que quería. El único pero que yo le veo es que si consume una cantidad de energía algo alta así que ten cuidado si es que la usas mucho. Por lo demás funciona muy bien y muy fácil.
