360-Degree Swivel Head

With a head that swivels a full 360 degrees, the Bissell Steam Mop easily reaches hard-to-access areas. It works especially well for cleaning tight spaces such as around toilet bases.

Chemical-Free Cleaning

If anyone in your family is sensitive to chemical smells or odors, the 1867-7 can be a great addition to your cleaning tools. It uses only odorless steam as the cleaning agent and powers through sticky messes with ease.

Large Reservoir

The 17.5-ounce reservoir provides about 15 minutes of cleaning time. You can release steam on demand by pressing the trigger while sweeping the mop over your floors.

Fast Heat-Up Time

In just 30 seconds after turning it on, the mop is ready to clean your floors. If you need more time, simply refill the tank—it takes only a few seconds for the mop to convert water into steam.

An indicator light lets you know when the Bissell 1867-7 is ready for use.

Bissell Steam Mop Hard Floor Cleaner Recommendations

Pros

Most users who purchased this model felt very satisfied with its performance. They liked the quick heat-up time and sturdy construction.

Many also mentioned they thought their floors were clean before using the mop—until they saw how much dirt the cleaning pad picked up.

Cons

A few users raised concerns about the trigger design. Some appreciated the fingertip control over how much and when steam is released, while others said it caused hand fatigue.

Another common complaint involved the cord length, which measures just 18 feet.

Several users also noted that the mop left their floors too wet. Even when they used the trigger sparingly, the floors still needed drying afterward.

Finally, the Bissell 1867-7 only sanitizes surfaces if held in place for about 15 seconds. With a steam temperature of roughly 125°F, it doesn’t get hot enough to kill germs, bacteria, or dust mites effectively.
