I had one in my old house but had laminate and hardwood floors and loved it. I just moved to a new home with lots of tile but have not moved all my things from my old home but I am hoping it works as well on tile as it did on laminate and hardwood. Let us know how it worked for you.

I bought one at the Gray Thursday sale and I love it -- not sure if it's the same model but it is a Shark and it's a steam mop! Yours may have more bells and whistles than mine!
I have hardwood and tile and am amazed at how well it cleans -- with just water!!! And I was amazed at how dirty the mop head was when I first used it for I clean the kitchen DAILY and the dining room path at least a couple of times a week -- and it appears that I'm not getting all of the dirt up with Bona and a regular mop!
Now I'm confused... It's ok to put water on a wood floor, even a hot steam? I have wood in our bedroom, I thought it could only be cleaned with Bona. Now I'm very interested in the Shark!

I have both laminate and regular wood floors and I use it on both with no problems although I confess I have used it more on the laminate because it is in the kitchen. The hot steam does not stay on there long and evaporates right away.

I am considering a Shark, but the vacuum cleeaner, not the steam cleaner. I had an oreck for years for every day vacuuming and loved it bu I found a Shark, similar to the Oreck in price, but it has some attachments. Anyone recommend this purchase?
I think the Hoover Floor Mate is a better deal. It vacuums up the dirt, washes the floor, then ***** up the dirty water. Makes cleaning hard floors (of all types) a breeze. I couldn't live without it. $150 at Walmart and you can use any cleaner you want. For my wood floors I use water, a little vinegar and a dash of dish soap.

Anyone have a Hoover Floor Mate? I just looked at the website and it looks very interesting...of course, a lot of them do until you actually get the thing home and try to use it! Any comments on it?
Count me in as a Shark lover. It works wonderful on my hardwoods. I squirt a diluted bottle of windex as I steam cleans and when using it on my tile floors keep a spray bottle of fabuloso. It makes my kitchen smell so good and my floors are nice and clean. When washing the pad, don't use fabric softener in the wash. I use the jet hose on mine outside to get the dirt out of it then pop in wash.
