I actually love this thing. I hate having to drag out a mop and bucket, and those disposable mop pads are expensive, wasteful, and smell way too strong. With my new Dirt Devil steam mop, I can mop all my floors with water if I want, or using their steam water to give it a little nice scent. Now there's a few things I would change. For one, the handle is a bit short for us taller folks, but it's not too big of a deal. Having to plug it in is a bit of a pain, but again not a deal breaker (and I don't have to worry about a battery dying.) The only major thing I didn't like is that it doesn't do a very good job in corners. Overall this is a great purchase, and comes with an extra mop pad so you can always have a clean one ready to use. Oh! And the pads are washable, so there is way less waste!
