Shark Steam Pocket Review! Do Steam Cleaners Work? (Clean My Space)

[@Patriciazugich]

I just bought one, and I really like it! I clean my tub with it. One good tip... Wet the microfiber glove before you place it, therefore it will work faster. I will use it in my stove and in my floors, I am really happy with this purchase. Thank you for this. Review.

[@Cricket667]

I had one of the initial Shark Steam Cleaners, and it was amazing. I've used it to clean the break dust and other grit & grime that accumulates on the wheels of my car, and also on my Ceramic Tile bathroom floor. It was a godsend. Sad to say when we moved I left it behind, and I wish I hadn't now. I need one for a nasty Calcium Stain in my toilet! So I'm searching for another one.

[@andyharris1967]

Hi i am 13 and i am a clean freak! I got mine today and love it! I bought it from amazon for $80 new! It worked wonders blasting dirt out of the grout in the bathroom! Thank you!

I bought the Neat Receipts scanner for my husband and he absolutely LOVES it. It scans double sided pages in the blink of an eye and makes it very easy to file electronically. I would definitely recommend it!

[@gammaraygus]

great review! have had mine for several years and still loving it. doesn't necessarily make cleaning faster but you at least know its clean and you arent using any harsh chemicals. that said if you use it twice a week the cleaning will go by much faster. if you wait for it to really gunk up it can go much slower. once again, great review!

If I do not want to clean but I know that I should I watch a pertinent video and tasks seem to be so much easier! Thanks for the inspiration! Thumbs up!

This helped me decide that I do want one and plan to purchase. I already own a Shark steam mop and LOVE it, so I am looking forward to owning this one!

I love my Shark pocket cleaner for cleaning PATIO FURNITURE AND CUSHIONS! A game changer - it made easy work of cleaning off all the dust and dirt and leaving everything clean and beautiful.

[@ladykarli]

This video made me excited to get a steamer & get sanitizing. I have an immuno-compromised child due to multiple organ transplants. He was born with a rare liver disease. I wish I could afford a more expensive cleaner but I think this one will do the job. When you are fighting to keep your child healthy.... Nothing can be sanitary enough!!! Thank you so much for making these videos. Many blessings to you.

Please get rid of the music or lower the volume so it is not competing with your voice. The music is very distracting.

[@unassuminggentleman]

Yep, you have a pleasant delivery but the music is about 33% too loud.

[@researcherjane2909]

Yes! Ditch the music!

[@AMindInOverdrive]

What did you say?? I couldn't hear you over the music

[@Teddibere1]

I Agree. Music is not only loud....it's just AWFUL.....like it's stuck on repeat!! going over the same sound notes over and over. Please don't use music in explanatory videos.

[@jeffzest8393]

Not so much the music, but the dings are jarring.

[@clteatro]

I have used both the Shark steam blaster and the Monster Euroflex Cannister Steamer and I have to say that I loved them! They are best, I find, for doing jobs where you really want a blast of steam to be used. They are excellent at cleaning stoves, bbq's, the bathroom (stronger powered so would clean the guck out of your sink and such that wasn't gotten with the one shown in your vid), floors, along trim on your walls, etc. Would recommend the one you have for stainless steel though.

[@kathleenhartmann6303]

I have one of these steam cleaners but dropped it and it no longer heats up. I really liked that I could clean all areas of my home particularly the bathroom and kitchen without the use of any chemicals.I will purchase another one but I wish I could just the steamer w/out all the attachments which I do not need. In the covid-19 pandemic this is a great tool as it will kill the virus with the steam. Water turns to steam at 212 degrees F.

[@Johndt061]

Thanks for the quick reply to my concern. I have already replaced some flooring due to a unfortunate water leak from my refrigerator ice maker water line.

[@karolinagrigaite5081]

I have had Shark for a while.. It's nice to use it on fresh spils, stains etc. When I was trying to clean oven glass door - it had couple of months cooking greasy stains - shark was hopeless - nothing worked - neither direct steam, nor small round attachment.. It wouldn't help to remove lime (water marks) from tiles in the shower as well. I had the same experience as you did, working around the tap.

[@shannaciano1804]

It's fabulous on dirty grout. Brought it back to looking brand new.

[@mygtxful]

yea, I steamed it on a plate then picked it up with a microfiber towel and polished it. I just bought the shark mop today it has three steam settings. Its worked great saved soooo much time. But I only used it to do the major cleaning then use my old mop to apply the wax stuff. Looks great.

[@DJTRIISH]

I received my Shark steam cleaner a couple of days ago....I can't wait to start using it for my counter tops, stove, bath and shower area.....So excited! Love your cleaning vids btw...Very good cleaning tips!

[@andrewbealing]

Good video. Just bought a similar but more basic unit in UK. Tried it on some greasy kitchen stuff around the stove but not sure its much better than a normal chemical cleaner, still needs a lot of hard work. A bit disappointed but it was cheap and will keep trying it on other things.

[@nonelost1]

Hi Melissa, just recently (summer 2022) I found one of those in the dumpster. It’s missing a lot of parts so I don’t think it is of any use. And when I plugged it in, it sounded like a stalled car. Furthermore, it leaked out the filler hole. But on the plus side, I noticed that it does heat up as the front of it feels very warm even many minutes after I unplugged it. Now that I have watched your excellent review, I know what to expect if I find another one of those. That is, what other parts to look for. So I will scrap it for e-waste at Goodwill.

[@ElizabethOcheltree]

I bought a shark vacuum, witch is wonderful! So when I seen the steamer I had to get one your right it works good

[@chatbleu6909]

Your video is fun to watch : ) I bought one. It's small and compact ... so one cannot expect miracles. I cleaned the grout on my ceramic floors ... and the caulking around my windows... and it did it pretty good job...and I really like it for my stove top ... thanks for the idea ! but only one other steamer worked better and it was double the price.

[@pogomop8887]

Some clear sealing finishes can turn cloudy with high heat. Thanks for a good honest review.

[@SillyMando2008]

I love how well it cleaned the inside of the oven door!

[@442272]

I wasn't sure if I was going to get one but yeah I think after seeing that I will. Its hard to trust a infomercial ...... but an honest review helps. would love to see if it makes mirrors in the bathroom fog free

[@marshabrown7578]

Thanks for the review. I purchased this a while ago and wanted to use for the clothing but I wasn't sure if it would work.

[@mygtxful]

I got one of these and they work pretty good. I used it on my jewelery too. I wish it had a little more power though, Im a little obsessed with it.

[@catgurung7249]

Hi Melissa, just wanted to let you know that your video has influenced me to purchase the Shark Steam Pocket system. Thanks heaps!

[@YookinTryta]

i bought one a few years ago and i used it once. the one thing that irritates me the most is that it worked enough to muck up the cloths enough that they stained, and i can't return it in good conscience. but i was very unhappy with it. it was a waste of time and money, and now space. if my house started as clean as yours and i needed to go thru all that trouble just to shine things up, i'm thinking a little elbow grease with hot water would be less of a hastle than constructing and deconstructing the watched pot that barely boils.

[@tessuisyourbae.2037]

I luuuuv my Shark pocket cleaner. Especially for my kitchen, bathroom, laundry, mirrors & dining table. Antibacterial properties are a bonus. It gets a workout with my 6+ member family.

I'd love to see that, too. We have a white Pottery Barn couch that shows anything and everything. I've been researching these things to decide whether to have it professionally cleaned, or if I can get a product that will let us do it ourselves.

Loved your video! I've been searching for a replacement to my old cleaner-which is no longer available-and Shark seems to be the way to go. Thanks!

[@ladyloneill]

Great video as always. Actually, I've decided not to buy the Shark. It didn't clean well on the drain surround, and frankly, it has many more attachments and pieces than I want to deal with. Something simpler that cleans tough areas like the sink surround and other impossible small places like that would be better for me.

[@meganbop2]

I decided to order one of these after watching this video. I will let you know how it goes when it arrives in the mail and I get a chance to use it! great video!

[@TheDrewster01]

Great review!!!, The "ad" in the beginning was so funny that I actually had to pause the video to stop laughing!

[@nicolefuehrer9967]

This video inspired me to use my sharp in different ways around my home. Actually it has inspired me to take it out of the closet after not really ever using it since I bought it. I didn't know what do with it. What I do us it for is to take stains out of rugs. The shark is not meant for that, but I find that it works extremely well for that.

[@steamcleanrenew4197]

I need to get my hands on this. Looks like a lot of great attachments are included!

I feel like if they combined this and the Bissel Steam Shot into 1 unit, it would be a dream come true..

[@jeffzest8393]

Is it potable or do you need to leave plugged in? Could not tell from your video. If need to leave plugged in, safe to use when water; e.g., sink? Thanks.

I absolutely LOVE my Shark Steamer. You should see the wonders it did on my old carpet. I would definitely say its more than just pretty good and i did not pay that much money for it. I paid $49 for mine with ALL those attachments. OK since its Saturday morning I'm off to steam clean my house 😆

[@escobedomari]

Well you have to know what products to use with it, but I absolutely love mine! I steam my clothes right no the hanger, I've used it to clean my carpet, my shower, my windows, grease struck on my stove, it's awesome! I love mine. I mainly use vinegar and/or baking soda if I need an additional cleaning boost. I'm not a fan of using chemical products (although I wont say that I never use them because sometimes I do).

Great review I thought the shark was a gimic but not anymore. I would like to see how its does on furniture

Thank you for preparing this video. We had the previous model, the SC 630 which unfortunately stopped working after 2,5 years. Many of the accessories are useless, like you said, it comes down to steam and a rag. The SC-650 seams to be going out, the price has now come down to 79$ at bed, bath and beyong and there are several used on amazon. We are looking for a remplacement, did you tested other model/brand?

hi, i just want to remind you that you need to squezze the trigger in order to release steam. You should have squeezed the trigger so it would haved released steam in25 seconds. If you dont squeeze the trigger mostly youll wait a minute or so to produce steam. Thanks for the review, it was really helpful.

I'm just happy to have one that does the floor. Everything else is superfluous. Too many pieces to keep track of & get lost.

I already have a shark but I don’t seem to have all the attachments that you have and I’m tempted to buy more attachments.

[@maryinsanfrancisco]

The steam cleaner is great for cleaning greasy stuff like your exhaust hood or oven door. In the bathroom, my steam mop does a great job on the floors, but the pocket isn't useful for cleaning, although I guess it probably is good for disinfecting. Finally, the place where the steam pocket shines is in cleaning outdoor furniture and cushions. OMG I used it last summer and it left everything looking like new. It took off a year (and winter's) worth of dirt and dust like nothing. My next project: try the pocket out on the nasty black dust and stuff in my window tracks.

I wanted to buy a stem mob because I am expecting my baby soon and I am just a little more finicky about my room esp. my bathroom being very clean.

Do you use distilled water and salt? I have an older one but I never know if that is the right thing to do. I think adding salt is OK on hard surfaces.

[@ArayahIru]

I bought a shark awhile ago and used it to tackle the bathroom... It did good cleaning in between grout lines but corners of the tub not so much. I also cleaned in the kitchen and learned that cleaning the front of a non stainless steel microwave wasn't a good idea, however the stove looked great. Which was also non stainless steel. I think I will try to clean my bike with it next the gears and chains are filthy.

Love your video and you as a presenter - HATE the background music while you are speaking (of any kind); it's distracting and always seems to be louder or equal to the voice volume. I could (and would) watch much longer if there was no background music. This surely isnt something unique to your videos - noise over stimulation/pollution is ever present. In fact, it seems down right odd (though sooooo refreshing) to listen to one thing at a time. Am I the only one who feels this way - maybe. Love your station, though!!!!

Your video is polished, your acting superb, and product review honest. I purchased this product 09-12-11 for a low $68.93. I finally used my Shark for the 1st time 10-01-12 to steam my mattress. I got freaked out when I found 2 dead bugs in my mattress. But the Shark PSI and TEMP are too weak for me. So I don't recommend it. Instead, I suggest a VaporClean, Dupray, or Daimer steam cleaner. VaporClean is my 1st high-quality low-cost choice.

My homeright cost almost the same. It holds more water. A lot more attachments including on for floors. Now since we are on the subject of steamers.

I agree xavier. Also, I'd NEVER use my clean mop head on sauces, etc on counter tops. I'd wipe them first to get any gunk off, then sanitise and finish with the steamer to kill germs. Tomato-based stains do not come out easily when you wash the pads. Pads (even after hot wadhing) soon become so grubby looking you just don't want to use them.
