I love that this floor cleaner glides over the floor without pushing and pulling-- it takes less muscle than the vacuum!!  I actually thought it was a steam mop as it was in the group I was searching under "steam cleaner".  But I'm fine with that as I can also use it to clean stains in my carpet, so it's a fair trade off.  
Another writer said that she wished it would hunker down more to get more dirt up, and I hear that when I use it on my porcelain tile and grout, but the pads come up with plenty of grime so I know it is working.
