PowerFresh Vac & Steam All-in-One Vacuum and Steam Mop, 2747A

Sorry so long I hate long reviews but they do help those that research while shopping so I want to contribute! I was looking to replace my shark steam mop that I’ve had for four years as it finally kicked the bucket and stopped steaming. As a replacement I was looking for something that didn’t have a thousand attachments because my shark had it and I only used them once. I’ve gotten my routine down to where I vacuum the whole house and then steam and that’s a timely process. I didn’t even know they made two-in-ones like this one! I have a messed up arm from heavy equipment like hand-held vacuums and the shark steam mop because it swivels all crazy. This one ended up being heavy but it didn’t aggravate my arm at all. It doesn’t allow for crazy swivels so there was minimal risk for hurting my arm. And let me say, vacuuming and steaming as you go is the BEST! I was so nervous because it completely changes the routine and I found myself overthinking about how I was going to work it literally. Like do you vacuum and then steam, or do you do both simultaneously? Like, how do I do it?! I finally just went in and went with it. And it went beautifully and cut my floor-cleaning in half! Whole house done in just one go! I only had to refill the water tank once compared to three times before with old product. And the cord is the usual length. The handle is adjustable if you need to make it shorter or taller. And I like to have multiple pads on hand so I can change as I go. I like to dedicate one pad to our master bedroom, one for the kitchen and one for living area. And then when I’m done, I toss them all in the washer and hang-dry. It’s what I did with my old product. Also, emptying the vacuumed debris from dirt tank was super easy too. I have replacement filters on the way. Bravo, this two-in-one is AWESOME especially for its price. I’m super happy! I still have my super lightweight vacuum cleaner for daily maintenance to alleviate my arm, and a spray swiffer-like mop for daily spot-checks and its own washable pads. I’ll be using this two-in-one once a week ;) PS I’m a GSD fur mama and she’s currently shedding, there couldn’t have been a more perfect time to try this new thing out! Her ball of fur was in the dirt tank nice and dry while the mop pad clearly picked up the dirt tracked by her muddy paws from recent rainy weather. This is a must-have for fur mamas!

I love this vacuum/mop! I have a long-haired cat who sheds like crazy. This is the perfect vacuum/mop for me. I vacuum and mop all in one step, saving me a lot of time and effort. I use this on my tiled floors and on my sealed hardwoods. I use this all over a couple of times a week and spot clean when necessary and it is wonderful knowing that not only do my floors look clean, they ARE clean. The steaming function sanitizes as it mops, which makes me feel good about walking barefoot in my house. My floors are clean without harsh chemicals, which is an added benefit. I purchased additional mop heads, which means I machine wash all of them at once, once a week with bleach and standard laundry detergent and then throw them in the dryer. There is very little fuss or trouble with the process. I have a few rugs, and I simply snap off the mop portion and vacuum the rugs as I would with a regular vacuum. This vacuum/mop was worth every penny. I've had it for several months and I've never been happier with my floors. I can highly recommend this one without hesitation.

(TLDR at the end) I bought this because I had been looking for a vacuum since my old shop vac on the blink, and because it's such a hassle to vacuum, put it away, and then bring out the mop. Taking it out of the box was simple. It's definitely a little on the heavy side, but nothing I couldn't lift. Assembly was ridiculously easy! You just click the vacuum head onto the body - that's it. The debris bucket was already in place and is easy to unlock and take out - just slide the lock and remove. I first used it on my bedroom. I have a German Shepherd mix, so she sheds A LOT during summer, and there is always fur everywhere. Not really knowing how well it would pick it up, I did swiffer a bit to get any large chunks of fur out of the way, that way I didn't immediately clog up the vacuum. That said, I could see that it was picking up quite a bit of fur that I both could and couldn't see from the wood floors. I could even hear the dirt and small particles it sucked up. After vacuuming, I began mopping. The handle has a button on the underside you squeeze to create the steam. Works fairly quickly to build up steam so that was nice. After a few back and forth motions, you could clearly see the floor was wet. It did a really well job, and got some sticky stuff from the floor and just made it shine. The next room was the bathroom, and it really needed a good deep cleaning so I included a few pics for that one. As you can see in the video, it picks up quite a bit of dust and hair from the floor in one go, however, on the sides of the vacuum are rubber pieces which catch some of the hair (I guess to prevent it from sticking to the mop? I'm not sure). It made it a little annoying because I would have to stop to pull it and hope I could vacuum it up. Moving it around was probably the biggest drawback of this product. It's small, but it won't get deep into tight spaces or corners, and even if the vacuum is against the wall, it may not suck up what's on the floor because of the rubber parts mentioned earlier. When I began to mop, it did a good job again of steaming and cleaning, but as I mopped you could see the clear line at the edge of the walls where the mop begins and the vacuum ends, leaving wet pieces of dust that were probably stuck from the vacuum. The big clump of fur/hair is what I had to pull out of the vacuum because it was stuck partly on the rubber parts and so it wasn't being completely sucked up. Overall, I think it's a decent vacuum and it did a good job of cleaning what I needed it to. It wasn't perfect, but I feel like it's hard to find something that does it all nowadays, especially when you have pets. If I'm honest, I'm more inclined to rate it 3.5/5 than a 4, but I'll cut it some slack. I really enjoy the convenience of being able to vac and mop at the same time so that's what really wins me over with this product. tldr; Gets the job done. Decent suction to pick up most hair/fur, but struggles with thicker clumps. Steam mop works well on sticky substances and is easy to use, but due to it being behind the vac, you can't mop close to the edges/walls in tight spaces. Assembly was the easiest thing ever, just clicked the parts in place. Long cord lets you travel, but can also get in the way. Maneuverability was the biggest issue, not made for tight spaces/corners.

I am very deceived of this product. It's hard to maneuver doesn't slide easily. On a carpet yo need brute strength to operate it. I would suggest to Bissell to have it self-propel. The maceuvrablity would be greatly enhance. The concept is great, the reality is awful. Can the wheel be adjusted in height?
