BISSELL® Steam Shot™ OmniReach handheld portable steam cleaner for tile, grout, windows, bathrooms, kitchens, fabric steaming tool, includes 10 tools

Long learning curve
A very long learning curve for me. The reviews helped me figure the steamer out. Although it said the steamer was ready to steam, the light would go out, it would not steam. I was a little scared of the pressured steam. Finally I realized I had to press the trigger very hard. When I did, it first scared me. I had unplugged it several times and spent hours to re read the instructions until I got it to work properly. Once I figured it out, it worked very, very well. Highly recommended now

Takes a lot of effort to release steam
This steam cleaner works pretty well for removing the grime out of my grout. It doesn’t fully restore it to white, but it looks much better than before! You can see the before (top right) and after (bottom left) in my picture. It’s noticeably cleaner and whiter, and looks much better.My two biggest criticisms: the trigger takes a lot of effort to push, and you need to keep it pressed to release steam. My thumbs are sore and tired because it takes so much energy to keep pressed down. I wish there was just a lock/unlock switch and an easier to use trigger. I’m not a fan of that design since it makes the tool ineffective for larger cleaning jobs.My second criticism is that the water tank is so small. I only got through a few large tiles worth of grout before it ran out of water. The small water tank makes the product lighter, but that’s not a huge benefit to me when the trigger is so hard to keep pressed down in the first place.5 stars for cleaning power, 3 stars for design / usability.

Great cleaning tool
Did not even know what I was missing in my cleaning routines without one of these and now that I have it I could not imagine cleaning without it! Really helps clean up messes in hard to reach areas. Has definitely stepped up our cleaning game and love all the attachment heads.

small jobs only
I purchased the Bissell Steam Shot after my other steam cleaner broke. It had plenty of reviews and the price point was cheaper and seemed like it was more durable. There are quite a few drawbacks to the Bissell although. It takes a small amount of distilled water and about 15 minutes to heat up. There is just one output steam setting. You have to press a button and lever to get the steam out, so it makes cleaning harder especially if you are using the extension hose. While Im on that point, due to the fact that you have to steam and then put down to clean said item I am not sure how much is being sanitized because of the cooling the steam undergoes as your getting your cloth to clean said mess. I think this is an issue if you are using it to sanitize something like a bathroom toilet, it’s more so pushing pee out of crevices and then you are rubbing it reheated cooled pee all over. I make sure to still use a cleaner to disinfect post steam clean. Another issue I have faced is due to the small reservoir you can only tackle smaller cleaning jobs, after heating for 15 minutes and running the machine for a bit the red light turns on and has to reheat. If by chance you run out of water and have to refill you have to unplug the machine and let it completely cool since its pressurized till the red button in the middle drops all the way down can then be twisted off to refill. I will say the steam is not as hot as I would like it and there is no way to adjust steam output for peskier jobs, although I’m sure the reheat for this said machine would be even more horrendous if there was an output adjustment. Overall I believe you get what you pay for and this was definitely on the cheaper / more reliable side of steam cleaners, great for small jobs or target areas. I wouldn’t advise purchasing this if you wanting to clean a full bathroom top to bottom on deep clean days due to the heat output, machine warming, and reservoir.
