Arrived box badly damaged – Box arrived extremely damaged. Was open with no apparent tape to show it had been taped down. Steam cleaner was dirty with streaks and obvious dent at the front. Was shocked to see the box in such bad condition Show details
If your looking to be disappointed then you won't be – Completely disappointed. What a piece of rubbish. Can't call it a"steam mop" more of a Luke warm water and dirt mover. Admittedly it is light and maneuverable and has the smallest water tank I've seen on a mop but I expect it won't last very long. Don't waste your time or money on one buy the more expensive brands where the steam comes out under pressure. Show details
No warranty for poor quality replacement parts – I bought a replacement water tank in Nov 2022 and the cap broke after just 2 uses in less than 2 months. However, no warranty on replacement parts. I now have three water tanks without caps as they've all broken since I bought the steam mop in Feb 2018. The steam mop itself works well. The issue is the caps on the water tanks keep breaking.

18 MONTHS since new spewing water out the overflow and not very hot.Disappointed. Show details
Follow-up · Because of the water in South aust.being so hard it clogs the mechanism and has to be unclogged.When this is done it appears to fix the problem.Its just annoying that it has to be done regularly.

Excellent Mop! – Bissell 23V8F Steam Mop Select has excellent cleaning power. It was light and easy to maneuver. I haven't change the pads yet so I can't make a comment on that one. The annoying thing is you have to press button all the time if you want steam. I find the power cord too short as well. Show details
Love it – Easy to use, fast heat up. Cleans tiles and wood floors beautifully. Love that you dont need chemicals to get floors so clean. Price is excellent. Comes with scrubbing pad and normal both machine washable. Decent size cord and triangular shaped head allows to get in corners and hard to reach places. Fairly light making it easy to maneuver. Show details
Does a Great Job – We've had other Steam Mops and found this Bissell Steam Mop Select more convenient to use. We use it on Tile and Hard Wood floors and happy with the cleaning power. The steam dries quickly without leaving pools of water. Our home is a small 3 bedroom and can clean all the floors with ONE tank of water. The Pads wash easily. Show details
Negative reviews
poor customer service and spare parts on bissell select steam mop – it stopped steaming after 10 uses and was just out of warranty and after 23 emails wasnt able to resolve the issue and have finally given up after being informed by bissell that they didnt have any spare parts to fix it on a product that is 2 years old and is still on sale in the new zealand market. will never purchase a bissell product again Show details
Terrible customer service, 4 Months old & 1 hour on hold – Purchased 4 months ago, trigger starting sticking, called customer service, told me to drive 45 mins back to store, & they should replace handle, asked for one to be sent out. Ok said they would send email, waited 15 mins, rang back, No call logged for 1st call. Went through it all again with next operator 52 mins later, tells me “Can’t find a… Read more
handle” I call you back. This is 4th bissell I’ve purchased All have had the same problem with the trigger. They have sent couple of handles out in mail Not a problem, coupe, of times machine out of warranty. Never again will I purchase a Bissell steam mop. Looks like I now need to waste 2 hours driving 45 mins to where I purchased it to get a refund, Harvey Norman where purchased very helpful.
Second time lucky – My new steam mop stopped emitting steam after about the sixth use. I contacted Bissel Customer Care and after having to follow up my enquiry a week later, I provided my details and I received a new replacement within 5 days (which is great as I'm in a regional area). I hope the second one lasts a bit longer. I do actually like it, good size and I can do all the hard floors on one tank of water. Show details

Waste of good money – Total waste of money. I agree with other reviews. More water is left on floor rather than a good steam clean like other products I've used. Poor CS. Tried to get a single mop pad rather than the scrubby one which is of NO use on my floors only to be declined. I would have to buy the 2 pack including scrubby mop. This was after 3 calls . I would never buy Bissell again. Good money spent up in smoke or is it steam ?? Show details
crap item – its crap last 2 years you get what you pay for.the inters dont seem to last long.i require my money back from them.and the cleaning pads are so expensive as well . Show details
Don't waste your hard earn money – I bought this a few months ago from Godfreys. I have passed cheap $40-50 and purchased this thinking that the paying triple the price would give me a better product. I was wrong! It left a lot of water on the floor which I always had to turn on the heater on full to dry the floor and in somedays use an old towel to wipe some areas. Funny enough… Read more
the water container got stuck and had to put a lot of pressure to release it from the body but only succeeded after breaking the neck of the container. No spare parts available now due to Covid situation. So now I have a broken mop purchased on the highest bid from the market and use the mop and bucket now. So think twice before buying this product. God bless you all!

2nd to fail the same way – This is the 2nd steam mop (exact same style) and both have failed the same way. Steam coming out the side of the machine. I do like the steam mop but I am frustrated that this has happened yet again. Show details
So disappointed! It broke after only a few utilisations, and they don’t sell the broken parts (water tank)!Never Bissell – 2 times for a 2 rooms appartement It was almost dry, pretty powerful 2 times/cleaning. It broke really fast, didn’t get the chance to buy second pads Yes, the cord is long enough Show details
Product Quality in recent production – Three in a ROW have failed the same way, steam out of the side and just a small amount out through the base where it should be coming out. Distilled water only. We have used this product successfully in two Motels for years and now there seems to be a quality issue with this model. Show details
Terrible to use – Find it hard to push on floor, the floor is not left dry after use I have to use a cloth to dry floor. Cord is not nearly long enough and it is noisy I wish I had bought a VAX.... And should have read these reviews before I purchased one. Show details
Crap product, don’t waste your money! – After having my Bissell Steam Mop replaced under warranty in October 2017 as it shorted out whilst mopping my floors, exactly the same thing had happened 12 months on. Would not recommend buying a Bissell product as they only provide a 12 month warranty on the original purchase. Do not waste your money. Show details
It worked great up until – I bought this mop less than a year ago. It works really well if you have hard to remove marks or anything on the floor. That said, I learned that you don't kneed the steam pads that come with it. Buy an 18 pack of washcloths and put one on it. Use your own cleaner on the floor and just steam over it with the washcloth. Who wants to spend $10+… Read more
dollars on cleaning pads when you can do that. Also, up until last week, it worked fine. Now the trigger mechanism that controls the steam is broken and doesn't work. I have read this is very common with this mop so buyer beware. Now it's useless unless you don't want steam and want to use it as a regular wet mop. Also, if you use steam on wood floors like I did, it leaves white residue on it which you can remove with vinegar. Other than those couple of things, it was ok.
Disappointed – Rubbish - after using the steam mop on my tile floor it is so badly watermarked VERY disappointed this product, after mop the floor look more dirty then before mop what can i do I replace pads twice during cleaning, but this makes no difference at all. Get down on my hands and knees and polish floor with dry towel after steaming to try to make the floor look good. Cost the money for nothing. Show details
A load of rubbish and will be taking it back under Consumer Law- does not deliver on what it says – We spent $199 at HN on this wet mop - it's definitely not a steam mop, as it produces very little steam but lots of water on the floor. It leaves large streaks across our polished tiles and they look worse than before we use the steam mop. I would strongly recommend you not to buy this product. Show details
Not impressed – Purchased this one about 2 weeks ago for the vinyl floors Mid price range but im not impressed with it. Comes with one pad and a scrubber pad which i cant tell the difference on the cleaning with. It is easy to manouver and the water take takes a while to use which I found good. Cleaned the kitchen ,dining and hall and bathroom floors without… Read more
filling up.
Leaves the floor slippery I found and need to sit and wait for it to dry ,depends on the weather but took about 15 min to dry.
Had the scrubber pad on and it cleaned ok.
The steam button doesnt seem to let out a lot of steam and lasts u til,you release the button then its just like a triangled hard mop.
Its compact ,easy to,store but I expected a lot more cleaning power with steam. The removable,tank to fill water is good
I just dont see the cost is justifiable for the machine, its doesnt do anything spectacular for the money. The little light glows when power ismon but doesnt tell you its hot
its simple and you are paying for,the name. Comes with a 1 year warranty
The blue light is on for power but id like a green light when its ready,or maybe a small beep noise.
It glides across the floor easily enough and bends to get under tables etc

Mine was a dud – My Steam mop 23v8f work. The first one I had ever purchased. It heated up a little bit and that was it. No steam! Perhaps it was a one of. Very disappointing. I took it back to the dealers who was most kind and traded it for a 1532. Show details
Extremely disappointed, especially as this model was very expensive – Leaves streaks on my porcelain floor. Rang Bissell, staff most unhelpful, certainly won't be buying their products again or recommending said product. Don't want to continue as my complaint is very clear. I replace pads twice during cleaning, but this makes no difference at all. Get down on my hands and knees and polish floor with dry towel after… Read more
steaming to try to make the floor look good. At 71 years of age I brought this mop to ease cleaning.
Very disappointing !!! – This is the first steam mop that I've purchased and I am very disappointed . It leaves the floors wet which in turn leaves terrible streak marks all over the floor. It's totally wastes of money.This is going back to the shop.Now I am worried all steam mops might be like this.I will go back to a mop and bucket. Thanks..
Does nothing but break – My first model of this broke within three weeks, after 3 uses. Got it replaced, had it for a month, used it 3 times, and the 4th time, broke exactly the same way, also found a washer floating in my water tank. No idea where from!! So disappointed!!!!!!!! Complete waste of money
Crap bissell – Crap bissell. Paid $500 for a steam mop that constantly turns off on its own, drips water everywhere and comes with a $50 valve that breaks very easily. Another corner cutting greedy crap company. I hate this so much I'm not even going to claim my warranty. Crap bissell. Never again!
Good produce, very poor after sales service – We purchased this model just over 12 months ago and was very happy with its performance. Unfortunately, after the warranty period expired the lid to the water tank collapsed / perished on one side which made it unusable. I attended a number of suppliers to get a new lid however no-one stocked or sold parts. I looked on-line and found that… Read more
Bissell sold the lid for $1.99, unfortunately when I went to purchase I saw that it was the American site. I contacted Bissell Australia and was advised that you couldn't just purchase the lid you had to buy the entire water tank. With postage this came to just under $30.00. It appears as though Bissell aren't content in making a huge mark-up on the product they also want to clean up with postage as well. This experience is sufficient to ensure Bissell won't be my replacement when the time comes.
Effective and easy – I looked at heaps of reviews and steam mops befor I picked this one. The handle is sturdy and you don't feel like it's going to snap while moping. The water chamber looks small and I thought I would have to refill at least once doing my floors, I followed the instructions on how to use it and how long to hold the trigger and was surprised that I… Read more
didn't have to refill at all ( plus no water marks or streaks)
The floors dry quick and looks clean. The heads are also easy to put on and remove and wash.
Very happy
Really bad – I have to continually press the trigger for steam but no longer than 15-20 second bursts and then finding that the floor is left streaky and looking worse than before I started! This is going back to the shop. I'll go back to a mop and bucket thanks. Very disappointed.
Rocks in your head – This is the worst steam mop I have ever used. You have to press the steam trigger otherwise in 10-15 seconds you are moving cold water over your tiles. We do not like the monster but are about to go back to it as it has constant steam. Mike
So dissappointed – I found so many things wrong with the Bissell I bought. It's very heavy to push, only moves when the steam trigger is being pushed. It doesn't fit under the furniture so have to use a normal mop to clean. The pads only use about 70% of the surface , mainly the outside edge, because the mop doesn't have a totally flat surface. It's not a real steam… Read more
mop as the machine only has one steam outlet and this only works when the trigger is used, so really you're mopping with just a damp pad.I've had 2 Kenwood 2000 mops over 14 years and they were wonderful. They actually steamed the whole time with no trigger action needed.
Simple and effective – Great little steam mop. Easy to fill up - does four rooms and a hallway before it needs refilling. The triangle head moves on different trajectories so it makes it easy to get into corners and along skirting boards. Heats up really quickly and the floor dried quickly afterwards. Very impressed.
Very disappointing! – This was the first steam mop that I've purchased and I was very disapointed. It leaves the floors very wet which in turn leaves terrible streak marks all over the floor. I tired it again using hardly any steam and it still left streak marks and what seems to be a dirty water residue. When u wiped your finger on the tiles it would leave marks on… Read more
the tiles and dirt on your hand. Both times I used it I had to go over the floors again with my mop and bucket. I was worried all steam mops might be like this. I was lucky enough to get a refund and swap it for another. I got the monster and it is fantastic! Nothing like the bissell.
I like it – I really like this mop, the cord is a bit short and I have to refill the tank twice to do the whole house but it gets all the stains off easily Show details

After now having the replacement steam mop for over a year it is still going well. No issues at all. Great mop that does the job.
