Shark [S6005UK] Cleaner Steam Mop, 1050 W, Grey & White

I've had this product for well over a year now, I use it weekly and the product still looks and performs good as new. The steam cleaner is easy to use and has three pressure settings depending on your preference. The main water tank can be detached and used to clean other areas of the home so its not just limited to floors. The product comes with a mop sleeve and additional ones can be purchased; which I choose to do. Its amazing to see the amount of dirt the mop collects and floors not only visibly cleaner they also feel it. The cord is a good length and allows me to do multiple rooms just by plugging in at my hallway. I do like to add a splash of zoflora to the water tank, this just makes everything smell so nice and fresh at the end. The product is comfortable to ... MoreI've had this product for well over a year now, I use it weekly and the product still looks and performs good as new.

The product is comfortable to use and not overly heavy, it's easy to maneuver and the flip function allows you to use the clean side of the mop once the initial side is dirty. The mop sleeves are easily washed by putting them in the washing machine. Overall, a great product.

Cleans well, but?!

I previously had the S6003 and was pleased with it. However, when it failed to release steam I needed to order a replacement and with the S6005 being on offer I thought I'd give it a try.This model may have additional cleaning tools, but I wish I could swap it for the S6003 and here's why:1/ The mains cable is insanely short and to reach all areas of my kitchen/breakfast room I need to use 2 different plug sockets. My previous model would reach throughout this area and into my hall and cloakroom too.2/ The water tank is detachable, but is attached to the mains cable, which makes it a chore to fill. The tank on my previous model was integral and easily filled with the supplied jug.3/ The tools are not worth the extra £50 as those I have used do not clean very ... MoreI previously had the S6003 and was pleased with it.

Concerns about juddering & knocking as a hand held

I'm still not sure about it. You sent a replacement because the brand new one I purchased made a knocking sound. Well the new replacement part still judders (knocks) . If it rests against a surface as I'm hand steaming it bangs off the surface like rapid knocking. As the technician heard the sound & sent a replacement I now don't know what to do as this does exact same noise and juddering. I'm very concerned it won't last long. My older model never did this juddering & knocking. I've spent a lot on accessories but worried it won't last like my old model did.

Disappointing

I bought my steam mop when I moved house as I thought it would be a great way of cleaning and sanitizing. I must say however, I was disappointed with the mop and expected more.The steam is powerful, but not consistently, the power seems to come in bursts.I had hoped that it would make cleaning my stone bathroom floors quick and easy but it seems to be more time consuming than just using a traditional mop.The benefit of knowing that the mop is sanitizing is fantastic but I am yet to be convinced that the effort of getting the mop ready to use, then waiting for it to heat up is worth it.I owned a much cheaper mop a few years ago which was much better for cleaning glass shower screens and windows. This one leaves lots of streaks.I was expecting more from ... MoreI bought my steam mop when I moved house as I thought it would be a great way of cleaning and sanitizing.

Excellent product.

This is our second steam cleaner, the older one from a well know brand. Therefore it took a little time to get used of this. Now that I have, I've very pleased with it. The hand-held component is very easy to use and a lot of time just the spray attachments are enough to complete the job at hand. In a more difficult area with extra cleaning required there are multiple options to takle the job. I love the floor option, the seam cleaner fits into the handle and can be set to med or high. The weight in on the mop head as the steam body is lower down the handle giving it good cleaning power. The mop head is versitile and the spray for ground-in stains works brillantly. With a 5 year warranty and a great choice of attachments included in the price. You can't go wrong.

Mixed feelings

I am a great fan of Shark vacuum cleaners. It on was that basis I bought the Shark steam mop. I was aware of the negatives, but I did n't realise how much until I got it. This steam mop is annoying to use. It is too big, compared to my previous simple steam mop. This is an issue if you have a small kitchen. I was aware the steam mop won't stand straight, so I had planned to lean it against something. However, the grey rectangular plastic which sits on the floor, takes up too much floor place. So I had to detach it from the main steam mop for storage. I prefer my previous no-drama triangle head steam mop. It does have a handheld steam cleaning thing. It may be useful in some situations, it did n't do very much for my glass electric hob or oven. The product is a bit ... MoreI am a great fan of Shark vacuum cleaners.

The product is a bit unwieldy, this may be fine if you are a bloke, but my woman wont' use such complicated things. She prefers things which are light to use. So it is down to me to clean the kitchen floor all the time, this is unfair.... It comes with lots of accessories, now I have to find a safe place to store them. If you live in a hard water area, you may benefit from descaled water. The steam on this one goes directly onto the tiles, rather via the steam mop. Also, those Shark mop heads are very expensive, so I suspect, I will be doing a pre-clean with a sponge, so as to extend the lifespan of the steam cloth. If you have a big house, with big space and don't mind a bit of a challenge, then you will be fine.

Not fit for purpose.

I bought this a few days ago.It looks nice however can’t stand up on its own. Basics.It’s easy to set up but then your left with a load of attachments floating round the place as there’s no container or way of storing them. Basics.I set the steamer up to use as a tool as I purchased this to clean floor tiles and between , clean the grout. It doesn’t work. The wire brush provided instantly dirties and marks the tiles, the other in line brush the bristles just cave in almost instantly as there far from robust enough,Poor. The pressure is the worst part(the main function) it is not consistent so it’s a guessing game. It wastes far to much time and is annoying considering the cost when I have an iron that produces better consistent steam. Very poor.I do not ... MoreI bought this a few days ago.It looks nice however can’t stand up on its own.

Very poor.I do not believe that any real time, effort or consideration has gone on to producing this. It seems rushed as it is inadequate. Shame, it looks ok but just doesn’t tick any boxes and it will be going back today.

One satisfied customer

I researched so many steamers on line and all I wanted was a steam cleaner that would clean my porcelain tiles properly without leaving water marks or streaks.I got so confused as reviews were so variable. I went to Curry’s and sought the advice from a staff member. He told me he had the Shark S6005uk and was very pleased with it. After a short demo he convinced me and I bought it.How right he was, it cleaned my floor tiles beautifully without leaving any water marks or smudges. The floor was dry in no time. I then had a go on my granite work tops with the hand held steamer. I am really pleased with results. They are lovely and clean with very little water marks. Would definitely recommend this steamer. Thank you Shark.

Recommendeded!

This is my first floor steamer cleaner and I've only used it once but it has already revolutionised my floor cleaning regime, which, to to be fair, was pretty non existing. I hate mopping as its cumbersome and creates wet floors which take ages to dry. This leaves the floor almost dry so pretty much able to walk on immediately. I have solid wood, tiled and laminate floors in my home and it cleaned them all perfectly without the use if anything other than steam. I agree that a free standing version would be a benefit and that hanging the whole product including the mop the is a challenge, but simply remove the component parts (the mop head) and it hangs in a very small space . Ours is behind the door in the utility room with the mop head above it. Its no deal ... MoreThis is my first floor steamer cleaner and I've only used it once but it has already revolutionised my floor cleaning regime, which, to to be fair, was pretty non existing.

Complaining about minor design issues that can be overcome is rather petty I totally love mine and wish I'd got one sooner. I've given 4 stars as I do think the design could be improved but it's absolutely worth investing in.

Worth it for the hand-held steamer

I got this on sale and I'm glad I didn't pay full price, althought it is decent. It's very simple to use as a steam mop but is quite difficult to drag along the floor, it doesn't stay in a straight line easily and is a bit flimsy. Does not stand up straight on it's own either which is a pain you always have to lean it against something. I wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for something light. No way to drain the water either without tipping upside down which is annoying as if the water is left to stand for a week or so when you use it the steam does smell like "old" water or damp.Heats up quickly but no quicker than my old one that cost £30. Arrived next day, easy delivery.The hand held steamer is a very useful function though, I enjoy having two-in-one.

As a steam mop specifically it is not the best but for the hand held makes it worth it. If you aren't going to use this often it is not worth it.
