Anyone got a steam mop? Which one? Do you love it or hate it?

Thinking of buying a steam mop to clean my laminate wood floors and tiles... have you got one? which one is best and why? What do you think????

Got a Kenwood one and LOVE it

It's not that good for big messes though so I either drag out the sponge one or use a few towels

Thanks Raven,

thinking of using it just for general cleaning of the floor now DS2 is on the floor more often!

I have a Kenwood and I'm not really impressed with it. I had a generic one from Godfreys before that which I thought worked better. It was fantastic! Someone told me to get the microfibre pads for the steam mop which makes them work better but I havn't found any which will fit my mop.

I've got a cheapie from BigW - it does just as good a job as the expensive stream pro that died. Small tank though. Bit of a pain to keep refilling when you only have tiles.

Hmmm... are they recommended for wooden floor boards? I mop them with an old fashioned mop and bucket but it's a large area and a pain of a job.
