What's great about it: Cleans without harmful chemicals
What's not so great: Mine is the older model without the clothing steamer
I love my steamer. I have severe allergies to chemicals and it makes cleaning difficult. I bought a home several years ago that needed a lot of cleaning. I used the cleaner on the cabinet hinges in the kitchen. What a disgusting mess but the steamer got it all without hard work. 9 years later, it's still steaming away. It's great for cleaning under the toilet where it meets the floor especially after my young grandsons have visited. I'd buy a new one in a heartbeat but my old one persists on working very well. I know the need to push the button for steam is inconvenient but I believe it's a safety feature. Once you release the button, the steam stops.
This product is or has... A practical steam tank, Light weight, Easy attachments for hard to reach places, Easy to store, No harmful cleaning agents, just distilled water.

What's great about it: Easy to use, quick steam
What's not so great: no carry bag for all of the tools.
This is a great little cleaning tool. Cleaned an old stove to like new condition in very little time with very little effort. Steaming clothes... Not so great. If there are deep creases, doesn't matter how much steam, it won't get the wrinkles out.
Great for cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, whatever.

What's great about it: easy to use, cleans very well
What's not so great: one setting, slow to start and stop.
This steam cleaner is amazing! It cleans so well, it will clean the walls, floors, counters, furniture.. pretty much anything you want to clean, this product will do it. Candle wax spilled all over a microfiber bar stool we had, and the steam cleaner got every last bit of the wax out/off the chair. It looks like brand new again. It's also perfect to get wrinkles out of your clothing. You can use this product for anything! The only down side is, sometimes it takes a while for the steam to come out full blast, the steam doesnt stop immediately when you let go of the handle, and you have to hold the handle down the whole time you want to use it. Otherwise this product is awesome, and works very well.

What's great about it: Cleans wonderfully, no scrubbing, you can use it on everything
What's not so great: For the steam to start coming out you have to constantly hold a trigger lever. Wish it just had a button to push
I love this, it is the best cleaning gadget I've ever purchased. My daughter sprayed a soda about 3 yrs ago and it went on the kitchen ceiling. I have popcorn ceilings so I couldn't scrub it enough to get the soda off. I used the direct steamer w/o any of the special heads and it all melted right off.
A problem is that it only comes with ONE of the sort of skinny covers for the heads and only one of the wide covers. So once it's dirty you are constantly washing it. Wish it came with more. Guess this is there way of getting you to buy more pieces.
The other draw back is that for the steam to come out you have to constantly hold back a trigger with one hand and use the other to hold the wand. It would be nice if there was just a switch you could hit or a button to make the steam come out constantly.

What's great about it: great cleaner, easy to use
What's not so great: a little noisy, handle is awkward
I didn't want to buy this, but my husband talked me into it. I figured that it would be just another gadget stuffed into the closet. But I was really surprised. I was able to clean my entire kitchen (ceiling to floor) in about an hour. It really gets all the dirt that you don't see. Its easy to set up and use. The only bad things are that it is a little noisy and the handle is awkward to hold - I have small hands and the handle is a little big for me. Overall, its a good buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Cleans easily with no chemicals. Add water and go to town.
What's not so great: Have not found that yet.
This is a handy little thing. Everything that I have used it for it has worked amazingly well. I did not have to iron my shirts, just put water in and steamed the wrinckles out in a couple of minutes. Makes my kitchen sink look new. A couple of places in the bathroom that I have used everything on are now gone. It is easy to use and so effective. A great addition.

What's great about it: Not a gimmick - it actually works.
What's not so great: Careful not to burn your hand with steam.
I highly recommend Shark Steam Pocket Handheld Steam Cleaner. It provides powerful cleaning without chemicals. I just pour some distilled water in it and turn it on and 30 seconds later I have steam coming out.
My first test was on my bathtubs and showers that had hard water build-up on it. It took some patience and effort but I was able to remove quite a bit of buildup from both.
I would recommend prepping an area first before using the Shark just to save time so you are not just pushing dust balls around but actually working on the hard stuff. Also, read the directions and follow safety precautions.
If you can apply patience, be willing to make several passes over several days, and alternate between the Shark and the more standard cleaning methods, you can really make some incredible improvements in your home.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: CAUSE I OWN THE UPRIGHT!
What's not so great: NOT SURE YET..BUT I WILL GET BACK AND TELL U.
I WENT TO BEST BUY THE OTHER DAY TO RETURN AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER...CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS ON THAT ONE..KIDS UNDER AGE OF 16 NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE ON STREETS...ANYWAYS..
ABOUT THIS SHARK STEAMER...
I PURCHASED THE UPRIGHT SHARK STEAMER AND LOVE..LOVE..LOVE IT!!
HAD TO GET ON HERE TO SEE IF I CAN GET THE HANDHELD ONE I SAW ADVERTISED ON TV...AND PREFER PICKINUG UP AT LOCAL STORE RATHER THEN DEALING WITH MAIL ORDERS IN CASE I DON'T LIKE IT.
THE UPRIGHT SHARK STEAMER WAS SO COOL!..MY SON WANTED TO CLEAN THE FLOORS!..I COULDN'T BELEIVE THE STEAM THAT IT PRODUCED. AND YES U DO HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO CREATE THE STEAM PUMPING EFFECT..BUT IT IS SO EASY!..JUST GLIDES AROUND AND ALL THE CORNERS WITH THE SWIVEL HEAD. DID MY KITCHEN, ENTRYWAY..THEN OFF TO MY SON'S PERGO FLOORED ROOM,,AND SAVED THE BATHROOMS FOR LAST..I DIDN'T EVEN VACUMN FIRST!
AND LOVED HOW IT PICKED UP AND STUCK TO THE MOP HEAD! AND YOU CAN JUST TOSS IT IN THE WASHING MACHINE..I STILL HAVE ETC PADS BUT DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO USE THEM FIRST TIME.
I NEED THE LITTLE GUY TO GO AROUND AND DUST SHELVING AND AROUND AREAS ESPECIALLY IN SON'S ROOM WITH HIS TOYS.
GREAT FOR KIDS WITH ALLERGIES, MY SON HAS ASTHMA AND THIS IS GOING TO REALLY CUT DOWN ON THE DUST IN HOUSE!
THIS LITTLE ONE SHOULD BE GREAT...BUT I WOULD CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BEST BUY STORE AND WALK IN AND GET THE UPRIGHT TOO, I DON'T SEE IT ADVERTISED ONLINE HERE.
LATER!
