BISSELL Steam Shot Omni Pressurized Handheld Multi-Surface Natural Portable Steam Cleaner with 7 tools for tile, grout, windows, bathrooms, kitchen, auto

The steam power works well, but the water tank is very small. It needs to be refilled frequently — even when cleaning something like a shower, I had to stop and refill multiple times before finishing. It’s fine for small jobs or spot cleaning, but if you’re planning to clean larger areas, the frequent refills can be frustrating. Good concept, just limited by the water capacity.

I used this on my glass-top stove and it worked great. I've used brillo (gently), I've used 409, I've used Krud Kutter and a bunch of other products. They take forever and it's grimy work. You usually end up with a less-bad mess, but never fully clean. This thing is wizardry. You blast a small area about the size of a playing card, wipe it clean - might have to do it twice.. Move on. So, it takes a while, but when it's done, it's DONE. That ancient yellow waxy oil film melts right off. I got my whole stovetop and control panel clean like brand new. (there is some tough grunge on the burners, I might have to use acetone and a razor blade). But the whole thing overall looks factory-fresh. I'm very impressed. My advice is to use an old cotton towel, and keep using clean spots on the towel to wipe, that grease in the towel will just keep smearing if you don't keep using a fresh patch of towel. Then throw the towel away, you don't want that in your washer. They also say you need distilled water, I'd follow that advice, or you'll probably clog the tiny jet with minerals pretty quick. This thing will use about 6 oz of water in about 10 minutes of cleaning. Hard water will ruin it.

This steam cleaner works pretty well for removing the grime out of my grout. It doesn’t fully restore it to white, but it looks much better than before! You can see the before (top right) and after (bottom left) in my picture. It’s noticeably cleaner and whiter, and looks much better. My two biggest criticisms: the trigger takes a lot of effort to push, and you need to keep it pressed to release steam. My thumbs are sore and tired because it takes so much energy to keep pressed down. I wish there was just a lock/unlock switch and an easier to use trigger. I’m not a fan of that design since it makes the tool ineffective for larger cleaning jobs. My second criticism is that the water tank is so small. I only got through a few large tiles worth of grout before it ran out of water. The small water tank makes the product lighter, but that’s not a huge benefit to me when the trigger is so hard to keep pressed down in the first place. 5 stars for cleaning power, 3 stars for design / usability.

First thing to know - There is no On/Off switch, to turn it on you plug it in, to turn it off you unplug it. There is an indicator light near where the power cord enters the device. Its supposed to turn on (Glow red) when the steam cleaner is warming up but then turns off when full temperature is achieved. Mine NEVER turned on. Yes I watched for it. The instructions say to use no more than 10oz. of distilled water; use the measuring cup provided. The cup has a max fill line @ 6.6oz. If you fill the provided measuring cup to overflow, it is just shy of 10oz. Also, my cup came with a full length crack, luckily I have measuring cups that I can use. When it finally came up to pressure I tried it out on the grout behind my stove, still yellow. It did a fairly nice job on smooth surfaces, provided you immediately wipe the grime off or it will just harden again. I did try out the extended hose but there is significant pressure drop and I'm sure the steam temperature is significantly lower. Minus the hose extension, there are some nice attachments with stiff brushes, that are quite useful. Sans the broken cup and indicator, the unit worked as expected, but then my expectations weren't that high to begin with. I will keep it.

This is a great steamer for the price. It is exactly what I needed and cleans tough dirt and grime greatly. If you’re planning to maw a whole day of it, just know the steamer runs out a bit quick, then you have to wait for it to decompress and cool before you can refill it again. That’s the only thing, that the tank is small but that’s what I payed for. Also don’t fill it too much or it won’t work- duh- but that means you have to use the measuring cup each time. Attached is my oven after steam cleaning.

The way I am nerding out about this device!!!! My baseboards have never been cleaner, same with the tracks of all my windows, sliding doors, sink drains, those little bolts on the back of the toilet seat, shower head and any and every other thing I can reach!! But this. You won’t regret it! Lightweight, easy to use, steam gets sooo hot, cord length is perfect for doing a long length of baseboards!

Dateline: The Grimy Front Lines of a Domestic Kitchen. There is a species of filth that stubbornly resists all sane forms of attack. It is the baked-on grease of a thousand meals, the petrified residue in the grout lines of a shower, a form of grime so profoundly bonded to the surface that it laughs at the frantic, circular motions of a sponge. To fight it with brute force and chemicals is a fool's errand, a slow, soul-crushing war of attrition where you risk scrubbing away the very finish you're trying to save. It is a battle that grinds a man down. Then this yellow beast arrived: The BISSELL Steam Shot. This is not a cleaning tool in the traditional sense. This is a handheld pressure vessel, a miniature boiler that harnesses the elemental power of pure, hot steam and turns it into a weapon. It feels light in the hand, but it hums with a contained, furious energy. You fill it, you plug it in, and you wait. Then, with the pull of a trigger, you unleash a scalding, high-pressure jet of vapor that dissolves grime on a molecular level. The baked-on crud on the stovetop doesn't get scrubbed away; it melts. The darkness in the tile grout isn't bleached; it is blasted into submission. It is a thing of savage efficiency. The collection of included attachments is a full arsenal, providing specialized nozzles and brushes for a surgical strike into every corner and crevice. The time saved is immense. The effort spared is a gift to your sanity. But this potent machine has its own peculiar demands. It is leashed to the wall by its power cord, a constant tether in your campaign against filth. The water reservoir is modest, requiring strategic planning for larger jobs. And it enforces a mandatory cease-fire, a maddening waiting period while it depressurizes before it will consent to a refill. A word of advice to the new recruit: Do not feed this machine the foul, mineral-choked water from your tap. No, this engine of cleanliness requires pure, distilled water. Give it anything less, and you risk clogging its arteries with the very buildup you seek to destroy. These are minor complaints, the quibbles of a man who has seen the alternative. For an absurdly low price, you are acquiring a tool of incredible power and value. It is a fundamental shift in the way one confronts the never-ending battle against domestic chaos. Highly, highly recommended. Five stars.

I bought this steamer to help remove creases from my new curtains I was hanging. I tried it out on the new shower curtain, since I was filling the water reservoir in the bathroom. The instructions were easy to read and setup was not difficult. The creases in the shower curtain melted away instantly! I did have a few issues with the steamer. One issue I was having was with the hose attachment used to steam fabric. There is no way to click it into place. It keeps falling off, over and over. It becomes frustrating, especially when having to hold the base of the product (with the water) in one hand and the hose in the other. I tried to place the base down in a few different places while standing and steaming the curtains. The base would topple over every time, causing me to stop and pick it back up. This too was frustrating. I found that the thickness of the curtains I bought was too much for the steamer. The wrinkles would not release. I had to take the curtains down and resort to my iron and ironing board. Over all, this works great for thin or sheer fabric, it can cumbersome to hold and the attachment that I needed would not click into place. I did use it on my grout tile but I think I needed to use a chemical to brighten the grout. The brush attachment worked well.
