The Shark Steak Mop Vacuum cleans and sanitizes. Because it uses steam to clean, it kills germs quickly. I purchased mine at Target for about $89.00. It uses regular water which makes it convenient. It is lightweight and easy to use and the floors dry quickly. No water puddles like using a regular mop. It would be nice if it had a scrubber attached for those hard to remove food stains, especially in the kitchen. I have not tried it on my rug yet, but plan to do so soon. I'll keep everyone posted. I do like the fact that it is easy to use but the mop pad never seems to get clean when washed. I would like the pads to be tossed and use a new one everytime to be sure the floors are clean which is the advantage of the Swiffer Mop. One of the major advantages of the Sharp Steam Vacuum Mop is that it heats up quickly . There is usually enough steam to clean the kitchen and dining room. It doesn't really clean the vinyl as deeply as I would like as it has a pattern in the vinyl. Over all, I think it is a great product but some enhancements would make it better.
