The Bissell 19404 PowerFresh Pet is a 1500W steam mop specifically tailored for homes with pets. It uses high-temperature steam to provide natural sanitization on sealed floors. The unit features a "Flip-Down" scrubber for mechanical agitation of stubborn messes and includes a tray for scent discs designed to help manage household odors. The 23-foot power cord allows for significant movement across rooms.
The chassis is primarily made of injection-molded ABS for impact resistance, while the water tank is composed of polypropylene. The 1500W heating element provides a rapid flash-heat, producing steam in about 30 seconds. To protect the internal boiler seals from hardening or leaking, the use of distilled water is recommended, especially in hard water areas.
The modular pad system uses high-denier microfiber that is durable enough for repeated high-heat laundry cycles. For best results, it is helpful to avoid using excessive "grip-squeeze" force on the handle trigger and to store the unit in a climate-controlled environment while it cools. This helps preserve the integrity of the polymer housing and internal tubing.
If you need a more multi-functional tool that includes a handheld glove for cleaning pet crates or upholstery, the BLACK+DECKER 7-in-1 system is a versatile choice.
