Cleaning chemicals are bad for your health and especially bad when you are pregnant. I have always wanted a steam mop because 1) its a cool tech gadget, 2) hate my old mop and 3) kills 99.9% germs without chemicals!
I didn't want an ordinary Steam Mop though, I wanted one which I could also use for steam cleaning the shower screens and cleaning the sinks, stove tops and even giving the carpet a bit of a spruce!!

Goodish features:
Streakfree- First time I used it I was like "its giving out too much water and leaving streak marks", however I figured out if you choose the Wood Select button, you get the perfect clean without streaks, or minimal streaks.
180 degrees swivel head, perfect for those tight spots! Really great feature!!
Carpet glider is wonderful. It refreshes the carpets.
Small water canister- first time I used it I had to fill up 4 times! That was because I was playing around with settings and using the Power Steam button. However, in a general clean 1 full canister is actually enough- so I don't need to empty the water canister which is great! You cant leave water in the machine after you have finished using it, you have to empty it out which is a pain.
Cleans shower screen good enough. You just need to wipe the excess water once done.
Baddish features:
Cable is shortish, but hey you can always attach a small 2m extension cable. My house is long, even with the vacum cleaner I have to change powerpoints.
It says heats within 15secs but if you start mopping, it doesn't start letting steam out for maybe a minute after the red light has changed to blue. Not too much of a big deal though.
Pretty much the good features outweigh the bad features (bad isnt really that bad anyway!)
