Hoover Steam Mop TwinTank Steam Cleaner WH20200, blue

So I am 28 years old and had always lived with my parents until 1 month ago! (yes, PATHETIC, I know!) The reason I mentioned that is because I have been spoiled my entire life. My parents always cleaned up after my messes and I never ever ever had to cook, clean, do household chores, etc since my parents took care of everything for me. When I moved out of their house a month ago, I was freaking out about the whole 'cleaning the house' situation. First of all, I had NO idea how to clean (since I had never done it before) and second, I did NOT want to use my mother's old fashioned way of cleaning the floors with a bucket of water and mop since it is 2015 and I figured, there had to be something better out there. Anyways, 2 days ago I decided to buy this on Amazon because the floors at my new apartment were extremely dirty and I finally decided it was time to grow up and do my own cleaning!!! I read probably every single review on this product and figured it was worth a shot! It came in the mail today and I put it together in under 5 minutes. I only used regular tap water, but it does come with a cleaning solution that you could use if you wanted to. Let me tell you....this is the BEST thing ever invented!!! I rarely ever leave reviews but I was sooo amazed by this product that I felt I had to. I cleaned my entire apartment (which is pretty big) in less than 20 mins! This was sooo easy to use and left my white tile floors spotless and looking whiter than ever before. I am so excited about this product that now instead of dreading cleaning I am actually looking forward to doing it again!!! If I say I look forward to cleaning....trust me, it is because this product is UNBELIEVABLE. I thought I would never say those words..."look forward to cleaning" LOL, but with a great product such as this one, cleaning is a breeze. I really enjoyed using it and I felt so good about the end result! I cannot wait till my parents come visit me and I can show them how clean and spotless my floor looks :) They will be so proud, LOL :) If you are hesitant about buying this product, DO NOT BE! Make the purchase today, you will love it!

I was not in any way planning on buying anything other than a Shark steam mop. I already owned a Shark steam mop for the last five years and when it finally went kaput, I was planning on buying another Shark. When I looked for my mop (now called a Euromop), Shark only really offered a new version with the double padded sides. I really wasn't interested in buying new pads and everything, I was happy with my old mop and just wanted a new one exactly like it. My sister mentioned she had just bought the Hoover twink tank, so I looked it up on Amazon and it seemed to have much better reviews than the new Shark. I wasn't crazy about buying Hoover, I had Hoover vaccumm cleaners in the past and they rarely lasted a full year before they fell apart. I liked Shark because of the long manufacturers warrenty, and the prooven quality since I owned a Shark steam mop AND vaccumm cleaner and they lasted me many years. I decided for the price, it was worth trying the Hoover twin tank. I'm glad I did! It came with three pads, which was great, I had no need to order separate pads to have extras around. I've had my Hoover twin tank for six months now. I use it on Pergo flooring. It works better than my old Shark mop, the steam is more powerful. This is why it has a trigger on it. I was a little put off by having to hold a trigger the entire time (Shark doesn't have that feature), but in the end I realized that it was great to have, it doesn't take much effort to hold the trigger the entire time, but it helps prevent over steaming some spots on floors that can't get too wet or too much steam in the seams. I also like that you can use your own solution in the tank, although with Pergo the only thing that is safe to use is Vinegar, anything with soap in it will cloud the floor and just sit on top like a residue. The vinegar helps break through any build up of other products while making the floors squeaky clean. The solution tank tends to let out a lot of cleaner even on the lowest setting, so I water down the vinegar solution in the solution tank. Another pro was the cord on the Hoover is a tad longer than the Shark, so I didn't have to unplug it in order to do my entire first floor. The pads wash up great, I've been told with microfiber it shouldn't be washed with any fabric softner, it causes a build up and makes them less absorbent. Otherwise, they was up great. I'm glad I made the switch, the true test will be if this product lasts several years like my Shark did!
