Advantages: Good Idea, Does a Passable Job Disadvantages: Cord too Short, Poorly Thought Out
Shopping Channels. Don't you just love them? There's something strangely addictive about watching presenters who were obviously chosen for the size of their, erm…smile, rather than their product knowledge as they over-enthuse about something which is clearly crap.
I'm not quite so found of the live studio based shows of QVCs or the never ending tat peddled by Price Drop, instead preferring the American pre-recorded shows, for sheer entertainment ... ...product in question as some glamed-up drippy sidekick "wow's" and "amazes" herself to a state of near-indecency.
I love the in-your-face American style of 'Chef Tony' showing us the best new ways to cook "frozen scrambled eggs" and "chilli dogs" in an appliance that looks like the bastard love child of a toaster, microwave and R2-D2. Or the never ending commercials for a new diet or exercise regime that makes people with the waist size of Newport ...

Advantages: quick, easysetup, no messing, cleans spotless, cheap, no soaked floors to dry, robust Disadvantages: none
...look back after buying the Home-tek Ht834 Steam Mop. Its fantastic, Its fast and easy to setup to use, always spotless cleaning and with no effort also the pads are washable, I just chuck mine in the washing machine and not had to replace it yet.
It stands up on its own so no need to lean it against a wall. It comes with a removable mop pad with velcro on the back that stick straight to the bottom of the mop , you just have to place the mop on top ... ...its a very strong grip. Mine came with a carpet attachment that you just stand the mop on so it glides over rugs and carpets , I find this really useful, no messing about attaching and un-attaching, you don't even need to bend down.
I think you can also get the mop with an extra patio attachment too, I wish i had bought this now knowing how good the mop is!
Setting the mop is so easy , easier than the mop and bucket.
It has a smallish water tank ...

Advantages: quick, easy, leaves floors almost dry Disadvantages: Need extra pads (Quite expensive but reusable)
I have Solid wooden floors in two downstairs rooms and laminate flooring in another two. With three kids (12, 10, 3) and me being a little clumsy I seemed to be constantly mopping up crayon, sauce, tea stains etc. I have neck and shoulder problems and find using a mop which requires wringing and elbowgrease very difficult. I'm a bit of a gadgetaholic and after seeing this demonstrated on a TV shopping channel I was convinced it would be perfect for ... ...P & P was added so price compared on line and got it from duck.co.uk with free delivery for £39.99 (bargain).
As soon as it arrived, I had it straight out of the box, very easy to put together and all I had to do was put the microfibre cloth on and fill the water tank.
The steam began to generate almost immediately and I was able to start cleaning after about 30 secs, this is great as my steam cleaner takes several minutes to get up to temperature.

Review of Home-Tek HT824 Steam MOP
Advantages: Quick and easy to use Disadvantages: As uses steam, take care with babies / toddlers
Saw a similar but more expensive product advertised elsewhere so since we have a lot of wood flooring we bought this model recently to give it a try. You know what its like - you see an advert and it looks brilliant but when you try it, it is not quite as good. That is NOT the case with this little beauty.
To be honest, only my wife has used it so far but she is over the moon with its cleaning abilities. It does not leave the floor soaking wet as ... ...is done in less than half the time. It is also good just using good old plain water without chemicals - ideal if you have babies or toddlers. It is also extremely compact for storage and easy to operate.
We bought ours off a third party seller on Amazon - only drawback was the high postage but beats driving around the shops. ...

Quick review of Home-Tek HT824 Steam MOP
I absolutely endorse this product, since I have had wooden flooring laid this is the one product that really deep cleans & smells fresh all day long, it does say just use water for the steam to clean but I use a little zoflora mixed with warm water & spray the floor first, there is certainly no harm done to the wood because the steam mop absorbs the moisture from the floor, fantastic, i wouldnt use anything else. ...

Advantages: Very quick and easy to use Disadvantages: Does not work well on carpets
I recently purchased a Home-Tek steam mop on the advice of a friend, and I have to say that I have not been disapointed with it. It is really quick and easy to use, but I would advise that extra pads are purchased as it is a bit of pain having to keep washing and drying the same one.
As I have young children it was important that the floor was not too wet after, and this mop does not leave too much water behind, and what is left drys very quickly. ...

Bought a steam mop from pitch TV. After 6 months it stopped working. After queueing on hold for ages and being passed from one operater to the other, I phoned Pitch TV and they refused to give me a refund or send me a new mop because I did not have proof of purchase. Dont they keep records. Would never buy from them again. ...
