BISSELL Steam Mop 1940A PowerFresh Floor Steam Cleaner for Hard Wood &

The BISSELL PowerFresh 1940A is a corded hard-floor steam mop designed for households that want to sanitize sealed floors without relying on chemical cleaners. It suits anyone who mops tile, sealed hardwood, granite, or marble regularly and wants a single tool that handles both light touch-ups and tougher stuck-on messes.

The core appeal is the steam itself. The mop heats water and releases steam that, when used as directed, kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses. Three steam settings give you control: dial down for a quick daily refresh, dial up for dried spills or heavy foot-traffic grime. That flexibility means you are not blasting full heat onto a floor that just needs a light pass, which is a practical advantage for everyday use. The built-in Easy Scrubber flips down when you hit a stubborn spot, such as dried food or grout buildup, and does the extra work without requiring you to press down harder or grab a separate tool.

On the practical side, the 23-foot power cord is a genuine convenience. Longer cords mean fewer trips back to the outlet, so you can work through a kitchen and adjoining hallway without stopping. The removable water tank is described as XL and refills at the sink, which keeps interruptions short. The washable microfiber pads are reusable, so you are not buying replacements constantly. If you want a fresh scent while cleaning, BISSELL sells Spring Breeze scent discs that drop into a compartment on the mop, though they are not included in the box.

A few limits are worth noting. This is a corded electric mop, so you are always working within cord range of an outlet. It is built specifically for sealed hard floors; the listing does not support use on carpet, rugs, or unsealed surfaces. The listing also does not specify the water tank capacity in ounces or liters, so it is hard to predict exactly how long one fill lasts before a refill is needed. The scent discs are an optional add-on, not a standard inclusion.

Verdict: The PowerFresh 1940A is a solid choice for anyone with sealed hard floors who wants to cut chemical cleaners out of their cleaning routine. The scrubber, adjustable steam, and long cord make it practical for real daily use rather than occasional deep cleans. If your home has mostly carpet or you need a cordless option, this particular mop is not the right fit.

A great fit if you:

• Have sealed hardwood, tile, granite, or marble floors you clean regularly
• Want to sanitize floors without using chemical cleaning products
• Deal with dried-on spills or grout grime that a regular mop struggles to remove
• Prefer reusable pads over buying disposable replacements on a recurring basis

Consider something else if you:

• Need to clean carpets, rugs, or unsealed floor surfaces, since this mop is not designed for those
• Want a cordless mop with freedom to move anywhere in a room without an outlet nearby

What floor types can this mop be used on?
It is designed for sealed hard floors including sealed hardwood, tile, ceramic, granite, and marble. It is not listed as suitable for carpet, rugs, or unsealed surfaces.

Do I need to buy cleaning solution or pads separately?
No cleaning solution is required since the mop uses plain water and steam. Microfiber mop pads are included and are washable and reusable. Spring Breeze scent discs are optional and sold separately.

How many steam levels does it have?
There are three steam settings, letting you choose lighter steam for a quick refresh or higher steam for tougher dirt and stuck-on messes.

Does the scrubber require a separate attachment?
No. The Easy Scrubber is built into the mop and flips down when you need it, so there is nothing extra to attach or store.
