Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Reasonable for the price... Make sure you read the entire manual and make your own conclusion!

 

I got this for free when I bought a Hoover vacuum cleaner. It is reasonably good, until the steam started coming through the water tank cap rather from underneath the mop. Called Godfrey, all they told me I should've used distilled water, and that it...

Disappointing

 

Used my mop twice only .haven't used it in a while. Took it out again today and its dead. Sadly the warranty is finished........definitely won't be getting another

It's worth every penny

 

ne broke down tomorrow I'll certainly be buying the exact same one because it's done it's 'time' yet it's still going. A couple of hints though 1. Don't leave it plugged in and walk away, even for a short time 2. Buy an extension cord 3. Buy 2 extra...

It cleans really well!

cord short, flimsy feels like it's going to break... but it never does.

Not for cleaning large areas

 

wasted my money! It does have some good features - a large water reservoir, a long cord and it is light weight, so easy to move around the floow. It also released plenty of steam without getting the floors too wet and has a carpet glider if you want to...

Light weight, easy to use, sturdy microfibre cloth base.

Spring mechanism for releasing steam clearly not meant to last. Fiddly to fill, no switch on handle to release the steam

Home Hero vs Shark - same cleaning, slightly harder use

 

y. We have 140sqm of solid timber floors and tiled wet areas. I'd say the ease of use would compare to an ordinary microfibre mop but leaves much cleaner floors (the steam gets off all that caked on food under the dining table from the kids!). The...

Price, compact, easy to use and store away, cleans better than microfibre mop

Harder to move around floors than shark, short cable. Need to buy extra pads

Making it last the distance

 

Picked this about a year ago on special for $29 worked great giving me clean dry floors for a couple of weeks before it died, the replacement did the same thing but I'm either persistent or stupid and took it back for another replacement and a year...

Great price

Power cord could be longer but at the price using an extension lead is a small sacrifice. Overheats if you leave it turned on while not mopping.

Not good for weekly use

 

Hi, bought this as other reviews gave it thumbs up , now I notice a few having the same problem. The light is on but nobody is home. I would say its good for those with a small flat or house that would only use it once or twice a month ( if those...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Short-lived, ok while it lasted.

 

As an "entry level" steam mop I figured it couldn't be beaten for price & was quite happy with the results; easy to use, worked as per instructions & gave good results with minimal elbow work... For the price I found the 'lightweight' structure ok &...

cheap; easy to use for quick decent results.

only lasted for 2 uses!

Doesnt last long

 

I thought this was a fantastic steam mop when I brought it. It was cheap and worked a treat but after having it for only a couple of months it has already broken. It could be that I was just one of the unlucky ones who managed to pick a faulty mop. If...

Cheap, easy to use

Flimsy, short cord, only lasted a couple of months

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Worth the money

 

Excellent product does a fantastic job on tile flooring & wood flooring, having had two previous steamers which each lasted about a year, we switched to this Hero and so far seems good but only been used for three months so far. Tightly grips floor and...

Affordable
