Haan vs. Shark steam mop July 27, 2010
Paul T. Wang
Before I order the Haan FS20 plus steam mop I had two Shark and they were both not working after 6 months or so (even it's under the warranty, it's not worth the $ and effort to get a replacement). The first Shark broke after 6 use and the replacement worked for about 6 months and no more steam is coming out (I was using distill water not tap water).
This is my first use of the Haan FS20 and it work very well for the following reasons and I am not sure how reliable comparing with Shark.
1. The steamer works with ease, it glides on my hard floor with ease and with little effort. The micro pad is probably the reason that it glides with ease unlike the Shark pads. I have a 1200 sq ft apartment and two micro pads took care of the whole place instead of Sharks four pads. The amount of dirt or what not at the bottom of the micro pads were all pretty evenly distributed.
2. The adjustable handle helps in area where space is limited so you can adjust it to work in tight area and you can even use the mop going side to side instead of forward and backward motions.
Note: During my first use, the out of water red light comes on way sooner then it really should (water was half full). The base where you attached the handle is made out of plastic so it does make it a bit weak like the Shark so don't put too much pressure or it might just split or crack.
 If only it had actually cleaned anything July 19, 2010

I really wanted to love this product. The idea of cleaning without chemicals, no bucket of dirty water to spill, and being able to use the same product on my vinyl and hardwood was very appealing to me. Based on dozens of reviews I read, I chose the Haan FS 20. Things started out well - the unit was easy to assemble and the directions were very clear. The only problem was that it just didn't clean anything. And I wasn't giving it much of a test - It failed to clean spills on the kitchen floor that wiped up easily with a damp sponge. When I used it on my hardwood floor it left it very wet. Not puddles, but still wetter than I was happy with. I still like the idea of cleaning with steam, but I don't know if there is a steamer that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune. Unfortunately, this isn't it.
 Great Steam Mop June 28, 2010

I love this steam mop, my first. The handle is aluminum and sturdy and the mop is relatively light. Easy to use and the micropads are easy to clean. I just soak the pads in a bucket of detergent water and use a brush to clean the pads and air dry. It cleans the floor well and it is hot! I use to have a hoover floormate, but I don't miss it at all....it was heavy with parts to assemble and chemicals used. This product only uses water. I called Haan and they said every few months just add vinegar to clean the unit, but in Hawaii we have great water.
Wonderful replacement for my Shark! June 26, 2010

The Shark Steam Mop S3501 was my first steam mop, and I loved it while it lasted. After about 7 months it stopped producing steam. In an effort to avoid the $50 shipping charges (!) to get it repaired under the warranty, I spent an entire morning filling it with diluted vinegar, letting it sit, pumping it for 5 minutes straight, letting it sit, etc until it finally started working again. I used it for another 5 months with distilled water only, and it quit again. No amount of vinegar or CLR woud revive it, so I was SOL. I ordered a HAAN FS20 as a cheaper replacement; here's the comparison:
Shark Steam Mop S3501
Pros: long cord, large capacity, no wait required to refill, double sided pad, easy vertical storage, slim profile
Cons: durability, cost, steaks hardwoods unless you use the purple cover, performance (seemed hit and miss, even when it was new. Sometimes I would get a lot of steam, other times hardly any), loud
HAAN FS30:
Pros: price, temperature (it seems to get much hotter than the shark. If I mop too far back towards my feet I can really feel the heat and I never did with the shark), lots more steam!, no sound (it is practically silent. The Shark is quite loud and drove my husband nuts. You could never use it around a sleeping baby, but with the HAAN you can't even tell it's on), colored pads (I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but the white pads on the Shark grossed me out. You can't bleach them, so even the clean ones look dirty.) cleaning powder (it comes with powder packets you are instructed to use monthly in order to maintain the mop and prevent deposit build it, I love that they are proactive!)
Cons: cord length (I use 3 different plugs compared to one with the shark, so I am getting an extension cord), water capacity (I use 3 tanks compared with 1), refill wait (I have to wait for it to cool down for a few minutes between refills), bulky (you have to store it in one piece, so a utility hook doesn't work. On the plus side, the size doesn't affect usability. I have a toilet that is right up against the tub and it fits in the tight space perfectly. It'll fit anywhere the Shark can.), one sided pads (I have to stop and change pads once because it gets too wet. I just flipped the Shark, no second pad needed)
Overall, I would purchase the Shark, but only if it was less expensive, lasted longer, or at least had an easier warranty/repair procedure. I will not purchase anymore Shark products until the quality and longevity improves.
The HAAN works very well, and if it lasts over a year I'll consider it a great deal.

After much research and review I decided to buy this handy steamer for my linoleum kitchen floor. I've only used it once thus far but I love it!!! It leaked a small amount of water while heating up, but you sit it on a temperature protective pad, and none of it even leaked off that little pad. My floors dried super fast and it got a lot of disgusting dirt out. I am a college student with two cats and a dog and my roommate and I both love to cook so our kitchen floor was rather disgusting. It didn't magically clean it all up super fast, but it did much better than I expected. It did get very hot (I was mopping in bare feet) but cooled and dried quickly as my cat followed me around the kitchen and didn't leave footprints. I had to go fairly slowly but it was easy to push and the handle is height adjustable. The tank of water just finished my townhouse kitchen but that was over about 15/20 minutes of slow cleaning to get the stuff that was ground in. Best of all my floors were left clean, dry, and not sticky! I am sure it will get even better as I continue to use it. Tomorrow's project is the couch. The only downsides are the limited tank and that it does much better if you go slowly. I will recommend this to my friends and family and keep using it to keep my house clean and sanitary!
