The Shark S1000WM (Renewed) is a lightweight, chemical-free floor cleaner weighing under 5 lbs. It features a removable XL water tank, which makes filling at the sink more convenient and reduces the chance of spilling water on the unit’s electronics. This model uses a manual piston pump; steam is generated by the physical movement of the handle, allowing the user to control the intensity of the steam through their own pace.
The 1050-watt heating element is designed to reach steam temperature in about 30 seconds. Because it is a manual pump system, it is important to "prime" the unit with several quick downward strokes when first starting. This ensures water moves properly into the boiler. The 18-foot power cord is suitable for standard room sizes and features a PVC jacket for durability.
Using distilled water in this unit is a practical way to prevent mineral scale from forming in the steam nozzles, especially in hard water regions.
The shell is constructed from high-impact polypropylene, which offers good resistance to household cleaning chemicals. For "Renewed" units, checking the intake valve and pump suction periodically helps ensure the mechanical components remain in good working order. The included pads are machine-washable for easy maintenance.
If you prefer a model with multiple electronic steam levels rather than a manual pump, the Newbealer Steam Mop provides adjustable settings.
Steam mops are a great addition to a chemical-conscious cleaning routine, and more options can be found in our steam mops collection.
