Given your recent experiences with high tech equipment, do you really think you should be playing with superheated steam?

Why this obsession with cleanliness? Don't you know you must eat a peck of dirt before you die?

I'm about to get Bissell 1867-7 Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner.

Any particular reason? I can't find many reviews of it - seems because Haan is realtively new as oppose to Bissell or Steamboy...

it's apparently a very popular brand in asia. i like that it has many more steam holes than the other brands and i like the idea that you can switch out the handles and make it a hand held. but mostly i'm going by my gut feel. we'll see how it goes.
