I received the Euroflex Monster EZ1 steam Mop and handheld household steam cleaner for a Christmas gift this year (I have had this on my gift list for over a year) and I love them both. Ease of use rates high with both of these products and the level of clean has reached a whole new height in my home. Both my kids love to take turns using these products. My twelve year old has been going from room to room cleaning baseboards and getting everything out of every nook and cranny (awesome bonus, even though he is avoiding his homework)! We have an "allergy house" so I will be using the Steam mop this week to kill the dust mites in our mattresses. I purposely chose this particular steam mop over other brands because of the temperature the water is heated to. Would highly recommend this purchase!

I have tile in my kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway, bathrooms, and entryway.

Pros:
- Takes 15 minutes to read the instructions and put together.
- Easy to fill - it comes with a cup with a convenient spout, though, I used my own small funnel to make pouring even easier.
- Heats up really fast 5 minutes or less with room temp water.
- Instructions say the inside of the boiler doesn't need to be cleaned if you use distilled water.
- No chemicals are needed.
- Cord is long enough to clean a large area from one plug.
- My floor didn't make my socks dirty after I was done mopping, so it was really clean!
- Really fluffed up my shag rugs.
- Less messy than normal mopping because floors dry faster and there is no splashing or dirty water.

Cons:
- The handle is plastic - the trigger for the front steam works well, but the handle seems kind of flimsy, I expect it to break before the rest of the appliance does.
- It doesn't fit under counter edges very well because the boiler is on top of the mop head. The position of the boiler helps make the steam as hot as possible, and it is very hot. The front steam jets can be used to steam under the counters and then wipe up or vacuum later.
- Might not be able to deeply clean carpets - My rugs do not look clean really, just fluffy, after using a full tank of steam on them. Maybe it will take a few cleanings for them to improve. (To clean carpets you have to first steam them and then vacuum.)

Things to keep in mind:
- This is just a mop, you have to vacuum first to maximize cleaning.
- No "clean floor" smell because you're not supposed to use chemicals with it. It's worth it though!

Hand-held steamer. (definitely not as exciting as the mop)
Pros:
- Strong, very hot jet of steam
- lots of attachments to clean in multiple ways
- not too heavy when full of water
- seems really sturdy

Cons:
- short chord - may need to use an extension chord if there is no plug near the surface to be steamed

Things to think about:
- the longer the attachment the cooler the steam
- whatever is steamed will need to be wiped or rinsed afterward

Personal opinion ...
There's really nothing that compares to Comet or a magic eraser when you need to scrub your tub ...

I was very impressed with this steamer. It works very well on my tile floors. The carpet glide is easy to use, but it only 'freshens' the carpet. It doesn't clean heavily soiled areas. It is fine to brighten a not-too-dirty carpet, looks good if you re-vacuum after it dries. The handheld is so much fun to use. I steamed everything, mirrors, shower, stovetop, door knobs, etc. It also works better than the floor unit for cleaning 'spots' on the carpet. I can't wait to try it on my gas grill.

I have 2 small kids, a husband who works with oil and coal equipment, a dog, and a cat. Needless to say I needed something to keep my house feeling somewhat sanitary. I chose this steam mop for the temp. I really didn't need a handheld, but since they came together I thought I'd give it a shot. I only got about 10 maybe 15 mins of steam out of the handheld. Its annoying that you have to hold the trigger, but it works pretty well. The window washer attachment for the handheld is absolutely useless. The handheld is best used for small jobs that can be done quickly because refilling it is annoying. I have yet to refill my steam mop and I have 4 rooms with laminate flooring and tile that I have cleaned twice so far. It doesn't leave noticeable streaks but I have neutral colored flooring. The water reservoir is on the bottom of the mop so you don't have to push down to scrub the floor. There is a trigger that releases extra steam, but in my opinion, it is placed too high to do any good. I love this mop and it is a great price. I would highly recommend it.

I thought it was a good idea for deep cleaning on tile. I damp mopped first. Of course the damp mopping doesn't pick up everything, then used this product after hours of researching these steam cleaners. When I used it, it didn't clean the tile on bit better than damp mopping. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have wasted time believing the videos, or spending a nickel on it. I now use it as a humidifier. Stick to the old fashioned scrub brushes.

The Euroflex Monster steam mop and the handheld steam cleaner are wonderful. They have made cleaning so much easier and they clean throughly. Very good products!
