(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Does not heat the water and even the steam is not very hot. May as well use cold water and a scrub brush. The hot air from the motor blows out the bottom. But the model from Canadian Tire doesn't have the rolling feet. So essentially the unlit stands in its own bath of high back pressure hot air. I cant believe this came out of Bissel. I git better results from my basic green machine where at least they told me I had to add hot water.
