Through my participation in the Walmart Moms Program, I was sent a BISSELL SYmphony All-in-One Vacuum and Steam Mop model #1132 to try out. \u00a0As my house is full of tile downstairs, I was happy to give it a go.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What intrigued me about the BISSELL Symphony, was the fact that it mops AND vacuums at the same time! \u00a0Is that really possible?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

With my tile floors, I first need to sweep up the debris, then bring out a mop. \u00a0It’s a time consuming process I’d rather forego. \u00a0I’m afraid I’m much better at sweeping up than I am mopping. \u00a0I’m more of a spot clean mopper. \u00a0After all, who wants to deal with a mop and bucket?<\/div>\n

Really? An all-in-One Vacuum and Mop?<\/span><\/h2>\n

I’m going to tell you right off the bat, yes, the BISSELL Symphony actually does vacuum and mop at the same time! \u00a0I was really surprised. \u00a0And even better, there is no bucket to deal with and it eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and germs on your floors…with no chemicals needed…just use water. \u00a0How can it get your floors so sanitary? \u00a0Because it steam cleans your floors! \u00a0You can actually see the steam coming off your floor. \u00a0Very cool…or should I say hot!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The BISSELL Symphony did a nice job cleaning my floors. \u00a0You’re probably wondering, what about the harder spots, perhaps where something was spilled or dropped, right? \u00a0I found that with a few swipes there were some spots did not go totally away; however, when I pressed my foot on the Symphony and pushed the vacuum and mop along, the spots disappeared. \u00a0I then realized I was using the soft mop pad instead of the scrubbing one. \u00a0After switching mop pads, I found I rarely need to press down on the Symphony with my foot for harsher spots.<\/div>\n

The top Microban mop pad is for everyday mopping. \u00a0You use the \u00a0bottom scrubbing mop pad for tough messes.<\/p>\n

But the BISSELL Symphony is not a miracle worker. \u00a0I was dying to cleanup the old blueberry stains off my kitchen floor, under the counter. \u00a0One spot did lighten, but it did not go away. \u00a0Another bad spot (not a blueberry stain) under the counter did go away though! \u00a0Yay!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

If you’re curious how the vacuum part works, the vacuum is in the front of the mop and small to medium debris is sucked up first before the mop hits it. \u00a0My kids and their friends helped us dirty up our kitchen floor with mud from the garden. \u00a0I was worried because they smeared some mud in our thick grout lines. \u00a0The mud pieces were vacuumed up first then the hot mop hit the stains. \u00a0Even the stains in the grout were wiped clean! \u00a0I was quite surprised!<\/div>\n
