shark steam mop

Anyone have one? I love my Shark vacuum and was thinking of getting a steam mop, but it got so-so reviews on Bed Bath and Beyond. Anyone have it and want to give me their opinion? Also are the pads reusable?

we have one and we love it. It's so easy to use. Ours came with cloth pads that we wash and use again.

We have one, it's their basic model. I got in on an impulse buy at Big Lots for cheap and it's great. It makes mopping so easy and my crappy old linoleum floors look awesome afterwards. Before I would use either a mop in a bucket of water, or the swiffer wet jet. It picks up dirt really well and it's streak free. Once in awhile you need to soak the head in vinegar to get the mineral deposits out (unless you want to use bottled water). But it's no big deal- i've done it once in the year (maybe even 2 years) i've had it.  Yes, the pads are reusable. Ours came with 2 but we're still using the first one. I wash it in hot water by itself with a splash of bleach.

have one. don't love or hate it. my mom hated it so that's how we wound up with hers - she found it very difficult to move - hard to push. i think physically it's easier for us, but it's nothing so special that i would say i love it.

we have 4-5 reusable pads. i stack them up on the floor in the basement next to the washer until i have enough of them and the microfiber pads we use on the wood floors and do one "rag" wash.

I have the vac and mop combo. I really like it. I also have about 5 pads and use them until I have them and a handful of "shop rags" and then I do a load of them.

 I have the vac/steam one and think it is a waste of money. You still have to mop and that was why I got this.  The vacuum is the world's smallest hole so dones't do a great job. The pads are reusable. I've used it twice.
