Shark Steam & Scrub with Steam Blaster Technology, White, S8201

So far, I really like this steam spin mop. I have luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, and since steam isn’t generally recommended for LVP, I only use it occasionally and always on the Light or Normal setting—never High. One thing to be aware of is that even after you turn the mop off, the steam head stays very hot for a while. Be careful not to let it sit in one spot on your LVP flooring after you’ve finished using it. That said, I think it does a great job cleaning. It heats up quickly, is very lightweight, and is easy to maneuver. I also have a very large area to clean, and the water tank seems to last longer than I expected, so I’m not constantly stopping to refill it. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it, especially if you understand the limitations of using a steam mop on LVP flooring and use it accordingly.

I have been searching and searching for a great mop that I don’t have to repeatedly rinse and wring, rinse and wring. BY GOLLY I FOUND IT!! This is an electric mop you only have to fill with WATER!! Yes, only water! It comes with 2 pads that can be cleaned in the washing machine. I bought a box of 10 extra pads, so I’ve always got plenty. I’ve rewashed them numerous times and they clean fabulously. I don’t put them in the dryer, however. It has several settings low medium and high. I have four small dogs and a white tile floor, so you can imagine how dirty it can get after a rain or snow. This mop is FABULOUS!! If I come across a tough spot, I just spray some Fantastic or 409 on the floor and use the mop with the steamer and ALL GONE!! It’s not like any other cleaner you’ll find. It’s super easy to use and so versatile, it gets all the way against the wall and corners. It has a swivel handle so the mop can go basically anywhere. The only attachments are the pads. They are very easy to put on. The mop is light weight considering the great job it does. I just use a glass measuring cup to put the water in it. Quick and easy. You won’t find yourself scrubbing hard on the floors anymore!!

I'm a previous Shark Steamer owner. It was a flat steam mop not rotary. I had this one maybe 10 years. That one got water temps to about 180 degrees. It worked really well but left streaks. I had tried other steamers that promised to get water temps to 212 degrees which is boiling point for water. They all failed within months. Too small and too hot. So I continued to use my old Shark Steamer with ok results. I prefer the idea of steaming for cleaning vs the chemical solution for other store bought mops. I bought this one in December 2025, just before Christmas because the old steamer died. I am very pleased. The things I like include the following. 1. Bigger water tank. I can steam clean more before taking the time to refill. The old one took 3 fills to do a small clean like the kitchen and bathrooms. Today I did a much more thorough cleaning, rolling up rugs, moving furniture etc. This was a longer clean time. I filled twice. Very happy. 2. I didn't know if I would like the roller pads as never using before. It actually works well. It is so much easier to move the steamer over the floor and I think it cleans better. Also, I don't get the streaking I got with the old machine. I'm very pleased. 3. It is light weight and easy to maneuver. 4. Steam: So the pads are wet with the steam water and you have a button to push for more steam if you need it. Very nice. Needless to say, I get enough steam to clean the floor. Very happy. 5. The prompts ask about scent? I don't know why. I do put a bit of vinegar in the distilled water. My preference. 6. I use distilled water. 7. The pads are easy to snap on and take off once you get the hang of it. Concerns include: 1. The cord is stiff. The cord on my first steamer was very pliable. The cord gets wrapped around the 2 hooks on the handle. The question I have is will this decrease the life of the cord? I have no idea. Perhaps with use it will be more flexible. I could be just being "new". Time will tell. 2. The cord is shorted than the Shark steamer I had before. I have added a short extension set for ease. 3. The pads work well. They also get very dirty, to be expected. I found that I have to take a strong brush to the the pads before putting them in the washer. Otherwise they come out really cruddy. It's a small step. The old steamer mop head got ugly pretty fast. I have 2 sets going right now and doing well. Over all, I am very very pleased with this Shark Steamer and would recommend.

I’m not completely dissatisfied, but it could use something for improvement. Hard caked on stuff takes a while to clean and get off even with the steam blast. I did find out later on that it has attachments that are more of a scrub pad than the regular pads it came with. I’m going to see how it goes after I order those. Make sure the pad is washed or cleaned before attempting the edges of the wall. It will not get in corners which makes sense because it’s a circular pad but would be cool to have a square one that doesn’t rotate, since it wouldn’t for use in corners or maybe something else added on that would help in the corners. It’s easy to assemble and the perfect weight so you don’t have to carry around that heavy mop bucket everywhere. I also like how you use water rather than something with chemicals in it. You’ll want to wrap the cord to only where you need because it can easily get caught up if not careful. It’s super fast so you’ll want to be careful so it doesn’t get out of control but very easy to use. It has safety mechanisms that turn it off under certain circumstances which is a good thing. I got this for my birthday so I could get my boys’ room back in check after being neglected. It wasn’t the perfect cleaning which I was hoping for considering the price but it still did pretty well. I do prefer it over my mop. For the main area of floor this is great for every day cleaning just not all hard spots we will see how it does with the scrub pad attachments that you buy separately.

Best stream mop model to date! If you’re looking for a way to stream sanitize your floors this is the model for you. This is the S8201 and newest edition to the Shark Stream Mop line. This upgraded version has a removable tank, making refills easy. I recommend using distilled water for cleaning, especially if you have hard water or treated city water - it prevents mineral buildup within the steam vac. This is lightweight and, while it’s not cordless, the cord is plenty long enough to clean a large area. We have hardwood in the kitchen, dining room, office, and living room and I was able to steam clean all of these floors with one small tank refill. It has three settings, the higher, the more powerful. It’s a self-propelled steam mop too, so it’s really easy to move around compared to manual ones. This version also has LED lights - a feature I love in all vacuum type devices because it can make it so much better to catch missed areas. The steam blast feature works great on stuck on stains. Occasionally it takes a few steam blasts and passes with the spinning scrubbers if something is really stuck on the floor. I loved mine so much, I got one for my moms house in NY too. She is disabled and needs assistance with cleaning, and that seemed like an easier option than brining mine back and forth. Oh, and let me add - during winter months when the salt from icy roads inevitably gets tracked inside from shoes or furry paw prints, this can clean those spots up super fast! The S8201 model comes with four spinner attachments. After cleaning, just toss them in the wash and once dry they are good to go again. A much more environmentally conscious product compared to one time use mopping pads seen with things like the Swiffer Wetjet. The price for this has fluctuated a lot over the past couple of months. I initially purchased mine for $179, but then a couple weeks later it dropped to $119 so I did a re-order/return - $60 is a big difference. Whether you’re buying through Amazon, Shark, QVC, or TikTok - just make sure to pay attention to the model number being sold! The S8200 only comes with one set of scrubbing pads (and tends to cost more), and any lower model number is outdated. If you like to clean and sanitize without harsh chemicals (especially if you have young kids or pets!), this is worth your investment.

I would rate this mop at about a 4.5 as I have a few insignificant quams with it. Things I loved: 🩷 The mop heads spin at decent RPM and a significant amount of pressure does not need to be applied to get even pretty stuck and dried spills. 🩷 The way the mop heads attach is both with strong velcro and hard plastic spokes so there is no chance of the pads coming off and flinging across the room as others have done to me in the past. 🩷 The amount of steam is consistent and ample enough that you can move continuously and not have to wait for more steam. I bought the version with the Steam Blaster but feel that even the one without it would work just as well. 🩷 The pads reach efficiently into the edges of baseboards and clean into cracks and crevices. It obviously doesn't do corners well given the circular shape of the pads, but with the right maneuver you can make it happen. Things that could be better: ❌ the water tank is relatively small compared to other steam mops I have used. I had to refill once to do my downstairs bathroom, hallway and kitchen (I live in an apartment) and my other mop would still be 1/3 of the way full but this tank emptied both times. However, I do suspect that this contributes to the light weight of the mop and increases the maneuverability. I also used the Heavy setting the entire time and used the Steam Blaster often throughout cleaning. If I had used a lower setting and been less frivolous with my steam blasting, this may have mediated the issue. ❌ I love that the mop sits upright on its own if you put it into the upright position. However, several times in tight spaces and weird angles (such as around the toilet) the mop would pop into Upright mode which stops the rotation of the pads, and the only way to get them to spin again is to tilt the mop out of upright mode and push the button on the front to re-select a cleaning mode. I wish there was a different mechanism of deciding whether or not I wanted the pads to spin. Sometimes I need them to spin in an upright position. Additionally, when the mop is placed in Upright position, the pads stop but the steam continues to be produced. So if you are cleaning hardwood and put your mop up to do something, you may risk oversteaming and damaging your floors in that spot. If the mop assumes that I don't need the pads to spin in the upright position, why would I need the steam. Kind of an odd design choice and there should be a manual way to select the rotation of the pads and production of steam. None of the cons are dealbreakers and overall I am very pleased with this mop for the price!

Quite impressed to be honest. I come from a long line of mop users and scrubers and despite it technically being a faster setup process. I like this shark steam scrubber a lot more. I cant for my life make coffee in my small kitchen due to lack of counter space, so sometimes i spill coffee and dont get to it right away. Combine that with having cats, sometimes removing dried up sugared coffee mix with some cat hair can be very tedious on the arms when you need to put some backbone into scrubbing. This steam scrubber means less back bone in exchange for some setup time. With pet hair, ive noticed i may have to rinse out the scrub pads that way im not scrubbing with lose hairs but it does a great job lumping the hair and keeping it there otherwise. Ive yet to slap the mats into a washermachine, but ive done manually scrubbing/rinses and see how well they held up against some elbow grease. I didnt need instructions to set it up. Was quite easy to use straight out the box. It does weight a bit but it glides across hardwood/tile floors with easy. Due to its rotating pad its sometimes wont let you navigate it at mock speed in the direction you want it too so just be patient. Oh by the way, i also find that despite the pads being round, they can get into edges quite well. Shared a photo of that. What it does have a hard time dealing with is unleveled wood floors, chipped floors, if your not careful itll flake your floor apart. Ive also noticed that despite steam, some stuff like removing a sticker stuck on the floor may take a while to remove. P.s: if it sounds like its dying, its because it needs water lol. When the water is low , it makes a rumbling noise.

Review: Shark Steam & Scrub with Steam Blaster (S8201) Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The Shark Steam & Scrub (S8201) is a powerhouse for anyone looking to move beyond manual mopping. It effectively combines steam and rotating pads to lift grime, though it requires a bit of muscle and a nearby outlet to get the best results. Performance & Features This model handles its primary duty—sanitizing and cleaning hard floors—very well. The Steam Blaster technology is a standout, providing a concentrated burst of steam for stubborn, dried-on messes. The addition of LED headlights is surprisingly useful, illuminating dust and streaks in corners or under cabinets that you might otherwise miss. With three steam modes, you can easily adjust the intensity based on whether you are doing a light dust-over or a deep scrub. The "Catch": Room for Improvement While the cleaning power is undeniable, there are a few ergonomic and design quirks to keep in mind: • Handling & Maneuverability: Unlike lighter stick mops, this unit is hard to control with one hand. Because of the dual rotating heads, the mop can feel like it’s "walking" away from you. You’ll definitely want to use both hands to maintain a steady path. • Cord Length: Surprisingly, the power cord is shorter than other Shark models. If you have a large open-concept space, be prepared to switch outlets more frequently than you might expect. • Water Capacity: The water container is on the smaller side. While this keeps the unit from being too heavy when full, it does mean more frequent trips to the sink during a deep clean. • Missing Accessories: A notable omission is a dedicated scrubber pad for high-traffic or extra-dirty spots. The included pads are great for general use, but you may find yourself wishing for something more abrasive for heavy-duty messes. Final Verdict The Shark S8201 does the job intended and leaves floors feeling significantly cleaner than a traditional mop. If you don't mind the two-handed operation and the shorter cord, the scrubbing power and steam blaster make it a worthy investment for maintaining hard floors.

120V model. I only found out after it stopped working. This should be clearly mentioned in the title: it is 120V and not suitable for UAE 220-240V power. Why is this even being sold on Amazon.ae without a clear warning!

Excelente solución para limpiar sin utilizar químicos más fuertes y nocivos como Lysol o cloro en los pisos de la casa. Si limpia bien los pisos con loseta, y para limpiar una casa de 2 plantas solo hay que rellenar entre 2 y media o tres veces su depósito de agua. Todo depende de cuánto se utilizará el vapor a presión. Muy recomendable.
