I'm really happy I decided to buy the HydroSteam. I have a crawling baby and a husky mix in the house and would you believe white floors?! This machine has vacuumed mountains of hairs, cleaned black paw prints off the white floor, food, grime, you name it and it has helped maintain my sanity. I originally bought a steam mop from another company that cost less but it gave up on my after five uses, so when I saw this, I knew I had to try it. It is on the pricier side but as I learned with the previous steam mop, you get what you pay for. It is important to run the clean cycle after every use especially for me because the machine ends up with all the husky hairs. #sweepstakes
