Can the steamer sit on the floor while on?

We have stained concrete floors and left it unplugged with the mop pad on after using it for about 15 minutes on high and it removed the stain. That being said, I would turn off and remove the pad when not using it.

It sits on the floor while warming up so there is no problem there as long as you aren't pressing on the steam trigger button. I really wouldn't recommend it sitting there for any long period of time(safety reasons). Make sure the pad is not wet when you do. That may leave water marks on wood floors.

You can leave it "on" (plugged in with the light on), but not have steam coming out of it. It won't release steam until you choose low, medium, or high heat. But if you have wood or laminate floors, I wouldn't leave it on your floors for long at all. It would be fine on tile or non porous floors.

Never leave it turned on while on a LAMINATE FLOOR. My father-in-law found out the hard way and now has to have several sections of the floor replaced.

Wouldn't recommend it. The wonderful thing about the Bissell Steam Mop is that it really DOES get hot! When I've finished steaming and turn the mop off, I typically set it on a towel or something similar as it cools. The mop gets seriously hot -- which is why it works so well!

Yes it can sit on the floor. I use it on my ceramic, marble and porcelains floors and the spot where you sit it will just be warm and of course a little wet from the cloth. Hope this helps.

Geez...not sure about that. It is water and the steam does get hot, so I don't think it would be a great idea to leave it sit for too long on at least a wood floor while on. That said, this thing does a great job cleaning wood floors and an even moved Jon on ceramic. My wife is super sensitive to any type fragrances so for me it is a perfect combo of getting floors really clean without any chemical odors.

Whenever it is on, there is hot steam coming through the bottom, so it's probably not a good idea to let it sit in one spot on the floor for too long. I think the maximum time is 30 seconds (it gives the exact time in the instructions). To prevent any floor damage, I would lean it against something at an angle so the pad is not flat on the floor surface. Or unplug it, which turns it off. Good luck!

No. You might want to put down a noskid mat or area rug under it. However it is only the outside perimeter and the perimeter of the small opening in the middle that is in contact with the floor. The raised part of the platform that the chair sits on does not touch the floor. I have hardwood floors and it works like a charm.

Yes it can sit on the carpet but not the power box.. Put it on its side on a non flammable plate. I keep both the machine and the power box on a very small metal end table. The power box gets warm/ hot because the machine runs 24/7.

No. The steamer will drip all over the comforter if still on the bed. The comforter needs to be vertical, hanging over a shower curtain or something. The wand always needs to be moving up and down not horizontal. It won't work otherwise

I would think so. Its a very dry steam rhat comes out when cleaning. You can walk on the floor almost immediately. The floors are not wet at all after mopping.

Yes, I would say you could steam clothes even though it doesn't have a clothes steamer attachment. There are a couple of attachments that should work for steaming clothes.

Not really. The reason why is if you use it on carpet, you may ruin your carpet. It was designed for floors, yet it does mention you can use it on carpet...but I would advise against that because it gets the steam too hot.

I dont think so. The only issue I see is that it's a bit tall. So dont keep it underneath anything. That way the steam is free to clear out from the top when it's boiling mode.

This steamer can certainly work on all types of floors and most types of fabric. I would just recommend that you carry the base pad with you so that whenever you set it down, it is not left directly on the surface. Also, keep the pad clean to avoid transferring dirt.

No, not this one. It could result in moisture getting into the flooring and causing warpage and damage to the wood.Some steamers are specifically designed for hardwood floors.

There is an insert which is like a basket. I think it could be used as a steamer.

I am not sure but I would think so. If you use water to clean it now, that is what it uses, just as steam. Of course it is hot and that might be an issue. Check with maker of flooring

I don't see gaving to go over the floor firdt w a dry cloth but it could help the steam clean to not gather up so much gunk

How dry the floors are depends on how much steam you use. My Steamboy tends to leak like a sieve anyway, And, if I go over the floor slowly, the floor is very wet. I like the hot steam but it leaks so much water that I have to wipe the floor dry too. I didnt wipe one room dry and slipped/fell on the water.

I am not sure.....I would look up the dimensions of the other inserts and see....BUT if you live near a bed bath and beyond or any store that carries it ..I would take the steamer in and try it in the floor ..model...it comes off easily enough...if they let you that is....don't get in trouble over it...of course compare prices and all and get it where you get the best deal

Not an option. You just get steam (on/off), works great, especially when you remove the brush attachment.
