Haan Steam Mop Review

I recently purchased the HAAN Multipurpose Handheld & Upright Steam Mop.

That's quite a name.

I'm just going to call it my steamer.

Like most "big" purchases, I researched this baby for quite some time.

Like, an embarrassingly long amount of time.

Like, think months...of googling and reading reviews...

And then add more months of googling and reading reviews...

And finally, when I'm about to just never-it-mind about the whole thing, I decide to just bite the bullet and buy it.  Mostly because there was a 20% off sale...and I had a $25 gift card to that store so that's a deal right?  A 20% coupon AND a $25 coupon!  So I order and hope for the best.

It arrives and I was so very nervous...what if the people who hated it were right?  What if it hurts me?

(sweeping and vacuuming causes me great pain in my joints and back...)

What if I just wasted money...what if...what if...what if...

So I put it together.  Easy enough...you do need a screwdriver for one screw.  And take the water reservoir out (this is something not all steamers have, a removable water tank...make sure you get that folks), fill it up, plug it in and let it stand on it's resting pad like the instruction manual said.

Yup.  I read instruction manuals.

I annoy my husband with that particular character trait of mine.

Back to the steamer...

I had swept the kitchen floor so it was all ready for me and I got to work on that tile.

It moves easy.  It steams easy.  It made my floor clean with minimal effort on my part.  And...

IT DIDN'T HURT MY JOINTS OR BACK!!!

That folks, is some sort of freaky miracle.  Because I do not understand why it didn't hurt.  I have tried every angle and level in sweeping and vacuuming, trying to find a magic angle/spot...no success...and I'm in my 40's...this steamer?  Didn't hurt me to use it.

Fast forward to the next day, because I didn't want to push my luck...I was all ready to do the wooden floors in my dining room, living room, and the tile in the laundry/mud room...

Again, no pain!  And it feels nice and clean under my feet!

I pushed the release button so it converted to the hand held steamer and used it to clean my front loading washing machine (girls: listen to your mother, do not waste money on a front loading washing machine...they're entertaining, but the top loading machine cleans better...although, the front loading is very nice for blankets, pillows and sleeping bags...).  This week, I'll get after nooks and crannies on the dishwasher.

The manual says to empty the water tank thing after using.  I did that.  But there was a little water under that...that leaked out as it stood in it's new home.  So the next time I emptied the water thing, and then just held the steamer upside down over the sink before putting it back in...nothing leaked out that time while it "rested", so...there you have that.

Long cord.  Easy to use.  You can swivel the handle/head to get around things or up against the wall.  I haven't used the carpet glide yet.  I'm not quite sure what they mean by "freshens carpets and rugs", so I'm...holding off on that.  But if it freshens carpets and rugs, I might take it to my computer chair.

I like this steamer.  I recommend it.
