I bought the Bissell because this is what my son and daughter in law use and they absolutely love theirs. I wanted the triangle head to better get into the corners, wanted the attachment to use on my kitchen counters (which I have not done yet). I have an unusual family room floor in which my carpet is surrounded by a foot of hardwood flooring--worked great! My kitchen floor is next can't wait--what am I saying-- can't wait to mop my floor? It's so fast and easy, the steam is so much more sanitary, and I hated that yucky sponge mop!
