The Bottom Line
The Shark Euro-Pro steam mop has some good points. It has a fantastic mopping pad that absorbs well and stays put. It releases a good amount of steam and can really clean a floor. But the handle seems flimsy and unable to stand up to the force needed to push the steam mop forward and release steam. The design of the Shark Euro-Pro steam mop requires that forward motion to pump the handle down and release steam. After mopping a small section of floor, my arms were exhausted. I felt more tired than I've ever felt mopping in the traditional way. There are better steam mops on the market that don't require the effort.

Guide Review - Shark Euro-Pro Steam Mop
While the principles behind the design for the Shark Euro-Pro steam mop are good, they don't work well in practice. The steam mop is lightweight, which would be fine if it didn't need to be pushed forward so forcibly to release steam. More often than not, I felt like I was scrubbing the floors with more effort than with a mop and bucket.
