Tools and Hardware Reviews of Reliable Steamboy T1 Steam Floor Mop
Customer Review: Excellent Floor Cleaning without Chemicals !! >> Updated: Poor Quality, Stopped Working at 15 months!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been searching for the last 2.5 years for a decent mopping method for my mostly tile floors. I have off white tile with light gray grout. In the heavy traffic areas, the grout is now almost black from dirt. I've tried Swiffer, Magic Eraser, Method Mop... they all picked up most of the dirt, but left a ton of dirt in the grout lines and also left speckles of dirty formula on the tiles. Nothing seemed to work well.
I did a lot of research on steam mops and based on reviews here on Amazon, I bought this Reliable Steamboy model. I've been using it for a month now and I have to give it a very enthusiastic review. It works REALLY well!! I'm so pleased with the results, I had to post a review.
I took the advice of others and bought extra mop pads (a 3 pack), and it comes with 2. Today I used all 5 pads in mopping about 1600 sq feet... granted I had taken a grout brush, got down on the floor and scrubbed the really dark grout lines with Simple Green, then mopped with the Steamboy. The heavy traffic areas where I did this are now almost as light as the original light gray. The other areas mopped up easily and were left sparkling clean. I steamed the spotted areas and concentrated on the troubled spots around floor boards... all came out very clean, very easily.
When the pads get too soaked, you end up leaving dirty streaks as you mop, so I just changed pads and continued on. Have had no issues with leaking or excessive water... I simply press the steam trigger once for every 3-4 swipes or if there is particularly dirty spot.
Overall I HIGHLY recommend this product!!
**UPDATED***
I've now had this mop for several months and am still loving it. Just the steamed water is enough for general cleaning, even in the bathrooms and kitchen. No need to scrub unless I get weirded out by the grout lines again. :)
***UPDATED AGAIN****
I'm sorry to report my mop has stopped working after 15 months of use... of course, just 3 months out of the warranty period. It is heating up (the unit is getting hot), but the steam is not squirting out... I believe the one jet is clogged !! Put a brand new water filter in just in case it was not filtering properly, but no go !!
I expect a $100 product to work more than 15 months !!! Lowering to one star for poor quality. I cannot be more disappointed.
Customer Review: Excellent Steam Mop!

I think that reviews should be rating the product and not the seller. It's too bad that this steamer has such a low rating due to sellers and the price listed here, not the performance, because it is fantastic. You can purchase this mop elsewhere and get it MUCH cheaper, I found it in stock on the biggest auction site for $99 with shipping.
I received my Steamboy Mop this week and it is wonderful! It was easy to assemble and use out of the box. The steam came immediately and I was able to get to work on my kitchen linoleum floors. The swivel head works great to get into hard to reach places. Dried-on sticky residue came off quickly along with a ton of dirt, yuck! It's hard to believe that was my floor! The floor dried quickly due to the hot steam so it was safer to use with my little children around. In the past there would inevitably be one of them slipping as they ran across the floors as I was mopping. I also liked that I wasn't using any harsh chemicals, just plain water.
I went through both pads that were provided in cleaning my floors. After finishing I couldn't believe how clean my floor felt on my feet. I won't ever go back to a mop and bucket! I only have two complaints. One is that the cord could be longer. I had to unplug several times to reach all of my kitchen and dining room areas. Also, don't leave it on your floors for a prolonged time or you will have a cloudy build up where it was. I wish that it came with a small plastic tray to set it in if you need to stop for something and continue a little bit later. These small negatives in no way outweigh the positives of this mop.
After all my searching and looking at reviews I found it extremely hard to find a steam mop that performed well. From all my searching I think this is the only steam mop you can buy in stores today that performs well. I'm glad that I went with it!

I receive my SteamBoy 3 mos. ago and absolutely LOVE IT! I live in FL and have a home full of light colered tile. It drives me crazy when the floor has anything on it so this mop is heaven sent. I used go around trying to spot clean the floor btwn. moppings, but I always found when I was done, it would've been less of a PIA to just break out the bucket and mop.
The great thing about this is it's so simple. It takes about as much time to mop as it does to vacuum. I have learned that if you keep the trigger pulled, unless you're moving really fast, you may end up putting too much water on the floor, so I've learned to lay off the steam trigger so often. The pad is already moist and hot so it really doesn't need the constant steam while moving it around. Plus, there's NO drying time when I do it this way.
The other great thing about this mop is you can keep a pad on it, and do quick clean ups as fast and easy as taking out a dustbuster. I'll definitely keep this in mind when looking for a gift for someone. I just love it and anyone that has to mop will love it to.
Customer Review: Finally!

No more bending! What a fabulous product.
I vacuum first and do the floors with this floor map in no time at all.
I love the fact that it can reach in small spaces, around the toilet, and kitchen cabinets. Even sticky spots disappear. All this while I save my back. Wonderful tool!

I am very pleased with the Reliable Steam Mop: it leaves the floor immaculate, it gets up hardened messes that would have required scraping before, it gets in small, convoluted spaces, it is very light-weight, the water reservoir is big enough to do a lot of floor, the mop-head cover is very easy to use and to wash, it uses tap water or distilled water. Now my suggestions for improvement: first and foremost, there should be an on-off switch in the handle; and second, the cord could definitely use another ten feet. Also, not really a complaint, but good to know, it does leave quite a bit of water on the floor, so it takes a while to dry. I turn on the ceiling fans, and that helps a lot. I would recommend this product!
