I love how this product steams the floor. It's a great comfort to know my floors are clean for our little crawler. I have five children under 10 and we create a lot of messes. This product helps us clean the floors quickly. I have to remember to be patient for the water to heat up. It takes about 3 minutes. I can suck up anything small enough for the vacuum. Cheerios are about the largest item it will vacuum. The vacuum feature is powerful and loud. I still need to scrape up very hard stuck on messes. Overall this is a great time saver and my floors look so nice that I am cleaning them more often. It is so satisfying.
