Bottom Line
The Shark Steam Pocket Mop is a good general-purpose tool to clean sealed hard floor surfaces with regular maintenance. Among its greatest attributes are that it comes equipped with interchangeable, two-sided reusable cleaning pads, is very light, has a basic steam-only operating system and can easily turn on and off while being moved around. However, some of its worst disadvantages are its relatively small water reservoir, as well as limited and possibly too short cord lengths, both of which could create inconvenience when cleaning larger areas.
