In the past, as a rising class, the bourgeoisie brought humanity tremendous progress in its mode of thinking. The enlightenment period introduced humanity for the first time to universal values, and while the rights that followed therein were based on bourgeois right, it introduced a new type of thinking characteristic to social production. However, since approximately the beginning of the 20th century, this bourgeoisie has given rise to the most brazen and anti-human types of thinking. Relinquishing all principles aside from the principle that whatever saves their rule in their period of desperation is good and correct, one of the most vulgar forms of bourgeois thought is pragmatism, the ideology which asserts that whatever leads to the continuation of bourgeois rule is true.
Examining this trend, Chen Yuan-hui in "The Pragmatist Philosophy of the Modern Bourgeoisie" shows that according to pragmatism whatever makes the individual most "successful," i.e., the richest and most prosperous, can be called true. So the capitalist's method of forcing his labourers into the most pauperizing situation is true. This also applies to collectives. So the capitalists who control the state and band together to criminalize striking workers in the law are also true. In fact, the pragmatists allege, this is a fact of human nature, along with the capitalist social system itself. Further, they argue that for the worker, to believe in god is true and pragmatic because even though he is exploited, at the very least he gets Sunday off. Therefore, god is true because he is useful. And for any movement, there is not and cannot be a final goal or ultimate aim, but only what suits one in the immediate sense. Not only does this serve the bourgeoisie very well, which has refused to create any new theory for centuries, but also the opportunists of every hue who are known for slithering like snakes.

Great steam mop
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
After one month of use, Im very satisfied with how well this steam mop cleans the tile floors.
I have dogs and I always liked and used Bissell products for years.
The first step is to thoroughly vacuum the floors to pick up dust. The steam mop is light and easy to carry. The power cord length is sufficient to clean a larger area.
After plugging in the steam mop, it takes about a minute before it's ready. I use the highest setting and the temperature is reasonablely hot. The amount of steam is good and the mop does a thorough job cleaning the floors. The mop pad wraps around all edges of the steam mop so it's able to clean up to the edge of the baseboards.
I can feel the difference walking on the floors. I don't care or recommend buying the Bissell scent pods. It's a waste of time.
The steam mop does leaves a light moisture on the floor because of the steam but it dries quickly.
The mop pad is easy to remove and install. It washes clean in the washer. The mop pad should not be put into the dryer. After washing, I let it dry in the garage.
The steam mop is a good value for the money. It does a better cleaning job than the Bissell Croswave. I used the Bissell Croswave and I don't like it because it always leaves some of dirty water on the floor. I looked at the more expensive Bissell Croswave steam vacuum but I don't think it's worth it.
Overall, I highly recommend getting the Bissell steam mop.

BISSELL for the WIN! Comparison between Bissell and Oreck steam mops.
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
This is probably the best purchase I've ever made in terms of functionality, design, and cost.
I bought this to replace an Oreck Steam Cleaner that I owned for 2 years. When in failed, the cost to replace the parts were just $25 less than the cost of buying a new one (and the parts are only guaranteed for 30 days!) So I decided to move on and see what else was out there in the world of steam mops, and I am SO glad I did. I LOVE this Bissell!
First of all, the Bissell has a removable water tank. (The Oreck required you to lean the whole mop over and use a tiny funnel to get water into it's internal reservoir...messy!) The capacity of the water tank isn't as much as the Oreck, but one tank's worth was enough for me to mop 6 rooms and a hallway, so it was plenty.
The Oreck stands on it's own. This seems like something that all steam mops would do, but no. The Oreck only leaned against things, and of course, fell over a lot.
The mop head of the Bissell is about twice the surface area of the Oreck. This means that you are getting your floors cleaned faster!
Attaching the mop pads is SO much easier with the Bissell! The Oreck had 4 snap lock gator teeth that would hold the pad in place, which required holding the mop like you were riding a broom stick, while you wrestled with it, hoping you didn't get your fingers snapped by the gator teeth clips. The Bissell's mop pad just attaches with elastic that fits easily inside a groove. Done in seconds! The pads are machine washable, and seem to be high quality.
The Bissell mop head swivels! This makes it so much easier when you're trying to mop hard to reach areas. The Oreck was stationary, so you had to do the contortions necessary to reach out of the way spots. The Bissell's mop head moves with just a twist of your wrist.
The cords for both the Oreck and the Bissell are very long, which is helpful. However, the Oreck didn't have any real way to wind up the cord when you were done...the Bissell does. Super easy! The Bissell also has a little clip on the underside of the handle that holds the cord out of the path of the mop. This is a super handy feature that the Oreck does not have.
Both machines allow for variable steam output. The Bissell has 3 buttons for steam output, while the Oreck has a dial. My experience with the Oreck was that the steam output was almost always too much, on any setting, and would leave the floor wetter than it needed to be. The Bissell, even at the highest output, does not overwhelm the capacity of the mop pad.
The Bissell does not leave streaks like the Oreck did. The Oreck often just pushed dirty water around, much like a real mop would do, but the Bissell leaves everything clean. I suspect this is because the mop pad of the Bissell can retain more moisture before reaching the saturation point than the significantly smaller Oreck's pad can.
The Bissell does have scent pads that are put into a slot withing the mop pad. The Oreck sells essential oils that you can add to the water. I have personally not used the scent pad, as I have parrots that are sensitive to any fragrance. However, I will say that it's easy to tell that this would be a simple thing to add and remove.
As far as power to clean goes, the Bissell once again outshines the Oreck dramatically! I have 2 parrots, a German shepherd, a musician husband, and a teenage son. This machine is like the Magic Eraser of steam mops! While it cleans most spills/stains on the first pass, should you reach an especially sticky or difficult spot, simply park the machine on top of the stain for a few seconds, and then mop over it again.
Cleaning with the Bissell is FAST. The floor dries almost instantly. I have used this steam mop on genuine hard wood floors, tile, and two types of laminate flooring (the expensive kind and the cheap kind). It works perfectly on all of them.
I am not in anyway affiliated with Bissell, so believe me when I tell you that this is the best product I have ever purchased, and it has made my life so much easier. This is a BARGAIN. You will not be sorry with your purchase, you'll only be sorry you didn't buy it sooner!
PS: As with all steam mops...use distilled water. It will save you problems with mineral deposit build ups later. The distilled water is easy to find and super cheap...a gallon is about $1 and will last you many moppings.

(I'd sleep with this thing if my wife wouldn't get jealous!)
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
Hi. I'm an artist. Which means I don't earn much... but all the chores of a house husband. I don't mind most chores. I do windows, despise dusting, and resent mopping. But you have to mop the porcelain floors or you can't invite guests over.
It took a long time for me to figure out how to mop properly. I used one of those sponge mops (which you can pull back into itself to ring out the dirty water). Instead of ringing out into the same bucket, I'd ring into the sink and even wash the sponge. Picture this. Even in a moderately sized condo, I'd rinse the mop at least 20 times during once mopping. That's a lot of hot water. So is the two gallon bucket I'd have to fill with Simple Green. Gallons of water and chemicals.
And when I was done? MEH said the floor. It was better but not optimal.
So my mop broke and I went to replace it. Couldn't. The Rollomatic was no longer at OSH. Which sucks because I have a replacement head that's now useless. I went to Amazon to see if they carry it. They do, but they also carry this Bissell baby.
It looks like cheap plastic. Know why? To keep it light. If it were metal you'd never use it. This light design is just right and about 1/4th of the work of the Rollomatic. And there's no bucket to move around. The 'bucket' is a small reservoir that could hold two cans of Coke in it. Maybe one and half.
When you open the box, assembly should be easy but for one thing: when you attach the handle to the unit, the handle can be slid in upside down. Which means when you go to put the one screw in it mysteriously won't work. I'm not the handyman type but I know 'engineers' can paint on a little red line on the handle and unit and tell us to make them 'match' each other to avoid this mistake. Or shape the rod in such a way that it can only slide in the correct way. A silly little design flaw.
Okay. There's no on or off switch. You just plug in. A little blue light blinks. About a minute later it's ready. Then you pick what steaming power you want. Light, Medium, Heavy. Understand the unit comes wearing a 'gentle mop' and includes a 'scrubby mop' in the box. So it therefore comes with six levels of intensity: gentle light, gentle medium, gentle heavy, scrubby light, scrubby medium, scrubby heavy.
I put off buying a new mop for ages and so it was particularly dirty. On my tile floor in the kitchen and major walkways, scrubby mop/heavy steam was needed. In other areas the gentle mop/medium steam did the trick. I should say here that I had to change from the gentle mop to the scrubby mop because the gentle mop got filthy fast. If Bissell wanted to be the bestest -- they'd include an additional set of mop heads for the same price. If that didn't get through: if you have a ginormous home to mop, you'll need more of the mop heads if the floor is particularly dirty.
A few cool things --
1. Under the cabinets in my kitchen is that part of floor the normal mop could barely clean. Grime would slowly build up and the only way to fix that was paper towels, spray, and hands & knees. This Bissell? Cleaned MONTHS OF FILTH in minutes. (This is what made me first consider taking the Bissell out for dinner and a movie.)
2. You don't need Simple Green and Pine Sol. This is STEAM. And you don't need a ton of water. (This is when I considered asking the Bissell back to my place.)
3. What was a solid hour of mopping is about 25 minutes with the Bissell. And that old school mopping used to make me so tired I refused to clean the upstairs linoleum bathroom... which is only a few feet wide. I did that too... in two minutes. (This is when I poured the wine for the Bissell and dimmed the lights a little.)
4. Because it's now so easy to 'mop'... I can do this weekly. Instead of what seemed to be every 4-6 weeks. (I told you I didn't like mopping, didn't I?)
(Oh, and this is when my wife caught me and the Bissell in a compromised position. But this is my only affair and I won't apologize! Damn it this thing is awesome. Sure I wish she was a cheaper date, but hey, she sure can make me steamy.)
<3
THREE MONTHS UPDATE:
Yes, my affair with this thing is still on-ongoing. Maybe not as hot and heavy, but yes -- there is still love. However, I stumbled upon something which requires rewording and correcting.
Above I said that grime came off with the first uses. And it did. What I didn't know until recently was that it doesn't remove ALL the grime. I had six or so years of it building up slowly, despite my Simple Green mopping and Bissell steaming. I basically forget my floor was matte finished, and you could clearly see a grimy 'shine'.
So I got on my hands and knees with a harsh plastic brush, hot water, and some soapy water with some OxyClean mixed it. Surprise surprise -- this cleaned off YEARS of gunk. What I thought were scratches in the porcelain floor were really scratches in the gunk. This is why people hire people when they sell their home to come in and use those machines to REALLY clean the floor.
And so my question will become IS the Bissell enough to stave off this 'gunk' that builds up -- and how long before I'm forced to scrub hands and knees style. If I can go a full year without needing to scrub so hard, I'll be satisfied but not delighted. If it's two to three, delighted but not thrilled. If the Bissell prevents me from ever having to scrub the floor again, I'll be Michael Jackson Thrilled.
So I'll come back the first moment I have an answer to that question.

Whoa! This did the trick!
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
I just put the Bissell steam mop through its paces and I'm moved to write a scintillating review. It arrived today and took all of five minutes to assemble. So simple a caveman can do it. I followed the directions (note to other dissatisfied reviewers) to the letter. Filled the reservoir with distilled water (not top water and DEFINITELY no chemicals) and selected the lowest steam setting once the ready light steadied after a short warm up. Before setting out on my steam adventure, I vacuumed all of the floors so everything was dirt free.
Our house is a mix of laminate floors and stone. We also live in a chemical-free and fragrance-free house so I ditched the fragrance discs. We don't need the phony manmade smells. I went with the lightest setting for the laminate since I did not want to over-hydrate the flooring. I did a careful pattern, a stroke at a time, to ensure I went over the laminate wood twice. The upstroke laid down the steam and then the downstroke ensured the sturdy mop head did its job.
Our floors weren't in terrible shape but there were dirt, smudges and streaking left over from the family holidays. Also having two dogs that seem to love to bring into the house anything they find outside rounded out the state of the flooring. I noticed immediately that the floors looked clean even though they were still a little damp. The mop glides nicely over the flooring and I gotta say it was kinda fun. A little music and I'm a cleaning machine.
Curiosity got the better of me so I lifted up the mop and put my hand under to see how hot the steam is. Word to the wise... steam is hot. That's why it's steam. And steam hurts.
After the floors and stairs, I proceeded to tackle the stone tile in the entry way, kitchen and bathrooms. Once again I felt it was cleaning it nicely. A quick examination of the formerly-white pad found that a dark grey color now adorned the pad. That showed me this was doing the trick.
I increased the steam to the middle setting when doing the entryway. That's the dirtiest part of the house and I figured correctly that the extra steam wouldn't harm the stone. At the increased setting the mop turned into a dirt-busting dervish with nothing standing in it's way.
Completing the steam adventure was a snap. Cleanup and proper mop storage took a just a minute. I did spend a good fifteen minutes fawning over my now clean floors. My wife was suitably impressed and commented frequently how nice everything looked. This must be how an early man hunter-gatherer felt after bagging a mastodon for the family pack.
All in all, I highly recommend this steam mop. It's lightweight, easy to use and best of all you too can impress the misses.

DON’T – get a Shark
Style: PowerFresh Steam Mop
This is one of my Top 10 Favorite Amazon Purchases. If you like short reviews, my second to last section is pretty much a summary of why I find the Bissell Steam Mop far superior to the Shark Steam Mop.
I’ve been trying to write more in-depth, detailed reviews with pictures and videos. On this steam mop, there’s tons of great reviews and videos already and I don’t think I can make one that’s better. I did want to throw my hat in the ring with those who LOVE this steam mop. My review will focus on how much more happy I am with this steam mop than with the Shark Steam Mops I had in the past.
♦I Got a Shark!
Our house is about 2100 sq ft and every inch except for the garage and the kitchen area is ceramic tile. The kitchen area is laminate for now (i.e. steam-moppable). I remember thinking, I am never going to scrub these floors on my hands and knees. I was impressed by the infomercial and read many reviews on the Shark. The negative ones mostly mentioned about how the plastic shaft broke by putting too much pressure on it. This didn’t seem too bad to me, so I went ahead and purchased it new for about eighty to a hundred bucks at a local store around the time we moved in about 5 years ago.
♦It Worked Great – Until It Didn’t!
I was delighted to find out how well the Shark cleaned the floors and was always careful to be gentle as possible to avoid breaking the plastic. I admit I didn’t 100% understand the difference between distilled and filtered water, so I always used bottled water. I’ll also admit that I am not a clean freak: I clean to relieve stress, for company, or when it’s getting really bad, even by my not-so-high standards. The first Shark lasted for several years of infrequent use. My mother accidentally broke it when cleaning once and replaced it with one from the second-hand store.
The one she purchased for me worked for a while. I think I got a third from the second-hand store as well. That one stopped working a few months ago. I tried another two from the thrift but neither worked. At this point, I was just about done with Sharks – I didn’t see any at the second hand store and I wasn’t about to buy another one for full price. A few months ago we had houseguests coming, so I searched on Amazon for several hours and this Bissell appealed to me the most.
♦Hail Mary Pass! Fail.
I was about to purchase it but wondered if any of the literally 3-4 Sharks I had in my laundry room could be fixed. I read several articles on the Sharks not working due to being clogged with mineral deposits. I tried the pipe cleaner, the paperclip, and CLR; unfortunately, nothing worked. At this point, I decided to cut my losses and ordered the Bissell.
♦Hello Bissell – Where were you all my life?
I was impressed by the Bissell immediately upon taking it out of the box. Here are my thoughts on the differences between the two:
•The Bissell is significantly sturdier and of a much higher quality than the Shark. I wish I would have taken side-by-side pictures, but I immediately trashed the Sharks upon using the Bissell for the first time.
•The water tank on the Shark is small. It is built into the unit, which is inconvenient when it comes to re-filling. The hole to pour water in is tiny. It’s nice that they provide a tiny funnel, but that’s just something else to store and/or lose and I’d rather have an opening big enough where I didn’t need a funnel. The Bissell tank is much larger. It is removable and the opening is very easy to fill. We can mop so much more of the floor on one Bissell water tank than we could with the Shark.
**I am not sure if my other Shark issues were possibly caused by not using distilled water; I want to keep my Bissell for a long time, so I am making it a point to keep several gallons of distilled water on hand for those times when I am in the cleaning mood.
•I find that the Bissell cleans just as well as the Shark, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked better and allowed me to clean it faster if I was able to do a side-by-side comparison. We haven’t used the scrubby brush yet.
•The Bissell stands up by itself; the Shark does not (if not propped against something, it will fall). I am definitely someone who has a tendency to knock things over so I won’t be leaving the Bissell in a room upright for an extended period of time, but I find this very convenient when I am moving from room to room, or refilling the water tank. I may also get motivated one day to leave it running on the floor to try to clean the grout lines. There was no way to do this with the Shark.
•My mother was able to find many Shark pads at the second hand store. I still have about ten of them in a container, in hopes that I’ll find a way to be able to use them with the Bissell. Extra Bissell pads are expensive. I purchased a pack of 2 on Amazon, since if the cleaning bug hits me, I don’t want to be forced to wait to finish mopping until after laundering the pads. I wish the Bissell pads were cheaper, but the replacements did fit perfectly and work as well as the originals. I have no complaints about the quality. http://amzn.com/B00A6G37SU
•I didn’t use and I have no intention of using fragrance disks. I don’t like artificial fragrances, although I do like essential oils. I read some people put a few drops in the water tank, and I bet they smell great, but I plan on just using water. My main concern is that the Bissell continues to work as long as possible, and I don’t want to add anything that could potentially clog or degrade the system.
**Edit: Please read the excellent comment another reviewer added regarding the warranty. I find this information very important.**
♦Last Word
I feel somewhat hypocritical in being harsh on the Shark for not lasting longer when I did have my first at least two years for sure, and I’ve only had the Bissell a few months (so I don’t know for sure how long it will last). The difference in quality between the two, even at first sight, is remarkable, so I would be very surprised if the Bissell did not outlive the Shark. I will update my review if anything changes for the better or worse.
