Shark Steamer Mop

Gill: The Three Muttketeers

Before taking the stage at the center, they had to catch up, starting with both locals and woofing wuffing more crewcut was their cohort. Not only pooches Mystic think looked great, his coat trimmed his new disguise. Passersby crowded enough compliments about the supposed "Lab puppy" when we got home the smaller mutt searched the cave for lawn coverage to carve its own locks squirrels.

Puppies "wild and crazy" weekend began with blackberry sneak to the front, then to the smallest of the puppy house best friend for a ride or two Frisbee-Squeak Ball (Calvin & Hobbes For aficionados, c ' Calvin ball is like without the rule). This friend has just returned from camping with his people in New Hampshire, so after the tales of mountain adventure games fueled the excitement before the trio continues to downtown. A true tale tells of a mysterious blue shark had been found in the woods of New Hampshire, miles from the ocean. It bent imagination of pups as they set out to ten.On the way dynamic duo GreenHand taught to weave cord (to stop the blue shark) using three leads and a great model in the middle.

Had their weekend to become the "Pirates of the Caribbean" script that they hoped this would be the point where they strayed into a series of prosecutions impossible and escapades. As with many real life nothing happened, no sharks - blue or otherwise - any comments from the Ecureuil Wed fabulous, no skunks or capture mink, none of the Spanish coffers of buffoons, not even a cone ice cream fell.There were too many jellyfish in the river for a touch and was a tramp Muggia that hold in August.

Crossing the river can quickly check the guy sea legs again. The drawbridge rocked and rolled as usual under the uninterrupted flow of traffic and pedestrians. Clawing eyes wide against the inner beam above the river, the landlubber reluctantly followed his drunken friends. Once entrenched in the park crew size of the situation. A couple of mops swept a small yappy hearing on the dock and seemed hornswaggling tourists out of dog biscuits.This required the immediate intervention of (cue "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" theme) Tres Lobos March! Normally the oldest dog seduces visitors with its universal and dogginess mesmerizingly expressive eyebrows while Littlest modestly reveals a shyness that captivates visitors friendly.

Euro-Pro Shark S3501N Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop

It started simple enough. A friend said, “You HAVE to get a Shark steamer mop thing. It’s awesome.”

But if you’re a type-A like me, that’s where the simplicity ends.

I researched the (older model) Shark and because of the not so great reviews, I ended up ordering the Eureka ENVIRO STEAMER . I chose the Eureka primarily because of a comparison review by a user. Turns out, alot of the qualities written in the review, like water tank size and cord length, didn’t apply anymore.

So then, I ordered the Haan FS20-Plus 800-Watt Steam Cleaning Floor Sanitizer with Deluxe Sanitizing Tray based on the same reviewer’s awesome comparison. But again, the info didn’t match up to what I ordered/got.

Today, I finally broke down and just went to a brick and morter Bedbathandbeyond. The guy was very helpful and showed me the various Sharks and told me this new model (the most expensive at $119) had a bigger tank than previous.

So, here I am with 3 different steamer mops. Since I buy most of my stuff based on reviews, I thought I would take the time to do a very non-scientific comparison.

*Euro-Pro Shark S3501 Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop ($106 with my 20%coup plus tax at BBB) Haan — 1 cup* (fill cup provided is marked)

*cup is based on the cup that came with Haan, the only one clearly marked. So I just filled the others and then dumped into the Haan cup. Hence, minor discrepancy. If you convert 12 oz into cups, it’s 1 1/2 cups… but for some reason when I filled the Eureka container and dumped it into the Haan cup, it only filled it 1 1/4 ways. Go figure.

CLEANING PAD: Shark’s cleaning cloth covers the head but the design allows you to flip it so you can use both sides with ease. The whole head actually flips on the mop so it’s not like you’re taking the cloth off and then putting it back on. (2 rectangular cloths included, along with 2 triangular cloths, for the triangular head — I guess for corners or tight spaces. But I have not used or tried out. Also, 1 fluffy looking thing that’s for dusting…again, have not tried this out either.)

**edited to add 1/8/2010** I’ve used the purple duster on wood floors and love it! Cleans great.

Eureka — waffle type of towel, held in place by clamps on the base. After 1 wash, the trim started coming off and it already had a very worn/old look to it. Not sure how long it would have held up.
