But in between its pretty good, works great on the wooden floors to. You would be surprised how much dirt accumulates on the mop. The only thing Shark does not do is rugs there are other brands that clean rugs. I have a area rug in my living room and some scattered around the house. I mostly have ceramic and wooden floors throughout. It is lightweight and I find I wash my floors more often now being there is no hassle lugging the mop , and bucket. lol


Marilyn, buy it and don't throw the box or receipt away, if you don't care for it bed and bath takes everything back.

I will buy the Black Diamond for my countertops do you have to buy it online only or do supermarkets carry it?
Gina, thank you so much for the information. I may do as you suggest and try it. My steamer does floors and carpets, but it's a boiler with hoses you have to drag around and I need to order a new cap for it since the one I have is leaking and blowing steam. Not sure what to do. Will think about it. I do have a coupon and gift card to BB&B.

I haven't found Black Diamond in any stores. Some stone countertop suppliers probably carry it, but haven't found any around here. I just buy it online from here: http://www.bdstoneworks.com/specs.htm

I just googled it, and here are the results: http://www.google.com/search?q=Black...e7&rlz=1I7GGIC

Looks like lots more people are carrying it now. It mentions Ace True Value Hardware stores. There's one in the town where I work, I may have to see of they are carrying it. Years ago, when we had our first granite and marble counters, I did lots of research and decided that the Black Diamond was what I wanted to try, and like it so much I stayed with it. I even use it to clean up messes on my ceramic tile floors. I buy it by the gallon and refill my spray bottle.
