STEAM MOP INSTALL

Photo: Katie Barton How well does the Bissell PowerFresh steam mop clean? While this mop doesn’t come with attachments like some higher-end options, it was the easiest to use, and I reached for it repeatedly. It doesn’t take much effort or strength to push this model, and I was able to start with the lowest steam level for my hardwoods, quickly taking it up a notch when needed. The angled head also allowed me to mop next to the toilet and edge of the walls.

The design of the Bissell PowerFresh mophead is slim, making cleaning next to cabinets a breeze. While many of the mops I tested, especially those with higher water tanks, felt uncomfortable to push, the Bissell PowerFresh maneuvered with ease.Īnother common issue I experienced during testing was thick mopheads that couldn’t reach under cabinet overhangs or small pieces of furniture.

Once it stopped flashing, I selected my desired steam level and cleaned my floors. After I plugged it in, the blue indicator light flashed for about 30 seconds. It was self-explanatory to use the mop for the first time. To fill the water tank, I pulled it up and out, removed the cap, and added room-temperature water. One feature I appreciated about the Bissell PowerFresh is the removable water tank. The mop also came with two fragrance discs that fit into the interior pocket of the pad. The tabs were a simple way to make sure the pad was in the correct position.

To install the mop pads, I slipped one over the mophead, ensuring the quick-release tab was on the back side. This model came with two mopheads, each with a quick-grip release tab that looks similar to a clothing tag. Assembly took me less than a couple of minutes. I just used a Phillips head screwdriver to install the screw in the hole. The mop came with a screw taped to the handle to secure it. I snapped the mophead into the lower body and slid the top handle in at the opposite end. It came in three pieces: a mophead, lower body, and handle.
