Gruene 2-N-1 Dual Steam Cleaner Review

The Gruene 2-N-1 Dual Steam Cleaner is exactly what I was looking for in a steam mop.Here are the basics:Cord length is about 19 feet, the pad heats to about 210 degrees F (according to my crummy instant-read thermometer), cleaning time is about 15 minutes between refills (depending on what you're cleaning and how long you leave it in one place), head size is about 6 x 11 inches, pads are interchangeable with almost any household rag (microfiber towels work well, though it's a bit more of a workout to push the machine with them - I also tried cutting up an old towel, which works well), it warms up in about 30 seconds.Overall this is a very sturdy machine, and seems worth the extra money.It really does work as a handheld steamer and as a steam mop, which is great.It has taken off dye stains in my bathtub, paint that had been on my hardwood floor for years, and unidentified goo on the kitchen floor.It gets really hot, and even seemed to melt a bit of the (very old) finish on some of our hardwood floors.The head does not swivel, though the machine does tilt down to get under furniture.You do have to hold a trigger to make the steam come out, but the trigger is very ergonomic and so isn't hard to use.Only complaint is that the hole for refilling the water chamber is tiny - you either need to use the special cup that comes with the machine or a funnel.Other thing of note is that it does use about 1500 watts - I blew a fuse using this and the vacuum cleaner at the same time.A strong and sturdy machine.

Bissell Flip-It Accessory Kit, 3270 Review

I agree with the other reviewer--the picture *is* misleading.Bissell does actually sell the pad/brush combination.Amazon should strive to make sure the picture does represent the product or give a clearly seen disclaimer.Conversely, I was not unhappy at all with the product received as I can use the pads a lot more than the brush attachment.

For use with the Bissell 5200 Flip-It bare-floor cleaner, this convenient accessory kit includes one pleated filter and two Gentle Clean pads.

When the pad gets dirty, simply peel it from the pad plate and toss it in the wash--having two means there's always one ready to use. The pleated filter should also be cleaned periodically. Remove dirt and debris from the pleats by gently tapping the filter over a wastebasket or outside. It can also be rinsed under water to clean.

Hoover Floormate WASHABLE, REUSABLE Filter; Compare With Hoover Part #40112050 Review

I am sure this is a fine product, and it looks and behaves just fine, but the item description says the item is "WASHABLE, REUSABLE" yet no where on or in the box does the item say it is washable.In fact, the directions on the box specifically state "...and replace it every 6 months for a cleaner and healthier home."Price was fine, shipping fine, delivery time fine, quality appears fine, picture of product and box is accurate, but I was expecting a wash and reuse product per the description, not a throw away as the box states.
