I am a HUGE steam cleaning fan, particularly steam mopping. It beats the heck out of traditional mopping and there are no cleaners or chemicals to buy, no dirty mop water to deal with, and my floors are really clean with no cleaner residue. The only issue I've ever come across with regular steam mops is that they are not able to clean grout between tiles. That's why I was delighted to have the opportunity to review the Haan Multiforce.
This steam mop is different because it not only steams - it scrubs! Instead of a single, stationary steam surface on the bottom, it has two steam surfaces which move back and forth in a scrubbing motion, all the while delivering loads of steam. Haan calls it CR-motion, and it's crazy fast and forceful. It really does scrub! (Because of how quickly the two steam plates move, the unit is fairly loud when using the scrubbing action.)
It's called the multiforce because it steams, scrubs, buffs and polishes. This is the first steam mop I know of that has all those functions. It is also rated for indoor/outdoor use!!! The scrub brush attachments have plastic bristles to scrub patios, decks, sidewalks and porches. In the 3 months I've been using it, I can say that it performs all those tasks splendidly.
Upon unboxing you'll find you need to snap in the handle and the pole to complete assembly of the machine. (This unit is significantly heavier than a conventional steam mop.) Also included is a carpet glide, 2 sets of ultra micro-fiber cleaning pads, 1 set of buffing pads, 1 set of scrub brush attachments, 12 packages of de-scaling powder, a foam resting mat and a pretty good users manual.
For regular steam mopping, remove the water tank from the front of the machine by pushing the tank removal button, fill it with tap or distilled water, then snap it back into place til you hear a click. Next, attach a set of the ultra micro-fiber cleaning pads. You then have the choice to clean with steam but no scrubbing action, scrub but no steam or steam plus scrubbing action. For steam, press the steam button on the front of the unit. To start the scrubbing action, use your foot to activate the CR-motion button on the base of the machine. Tilt the handle 45 degrees and move the machine back and forth over your floor.
The results are stunning. Hot steam loosens dirt and the micro-fiber pads pick it up. Even dried on or crusty gunk can be removed by keeping the mop over the area for a longer period. The CR-motion is so powerful, I haven't had to physically scrub anything since I got this. And in case you've never used a steam mop before, you'll be amazed at how fast the floor dries. Fast enough to be completely safe on laminate flooring. You are left with extremely clean, dry floors in no time and the only thing left is to throw the dirty pads in the washing machine. I will never go back to a conventional mop.
The micro-fiber pads are designed for cleaning laminate, sealed hard wood, vinyl, porcelain and ceramic tile and sheet vinyl floors. (Haan does not recommend it for unglazed ceramic tile or unsealed hardwood flooring.) You select the floor type with the floor setting button on the front of the machine. Red gives high steam emission for ceramic, stone, tile and other durable flooring. Green gives gentler steam for sealed hardwoods, bamboo, laminates and more delicate flooring.
You will notice it produces a lot of steam. Each of the 2 steam surfaces on the bottom has 10 steam jets that deliver steam heated to 212 degrees - hot enough to sanitize your floor. A full tank of water lasts about 20 minutes, but heat up time is only about 45 seconds.
You use the buffing pads for polishing and shining your clean floors with the CR-motion on and the steam off. I have commercial vinyl tile in my kitchen and I apply floor finish every 6 months. The buffing pads make it gleam! I also have some unfinished pine flooring upstairs which I wax with Butcher's wax every few months and again, the buffing pads bring up a lovely shine to the wax. Haan says you can use them to buff your sealed hardwood floors and marble floors, and they will also bring back a luster to older, no-wax floors.
The scrub brush attachments have plastic bristles and snap onto the steam surfaces. They are designed for outdoor use with some kind of cleaner or detergent. My concrete patio and front porch looked brand new after scrubbing with this machine (and my house is 100 years old!) I didn't use steam but instead, wet the concrete well with water and threw down some powdered detergent. After using the scrubber over the entire surface, I just rinsed with the garden hose. Soooo much easier than scrubbing with a hard bristle push broom and way less water than with a pressure washer.
If you need to use an extension cord, make sure it is at least a 15 amp 16 gauge cord.
Haan doesn't suggest this, but I used the scrub brush attachments with steam on a white porcelain tile bathroom floor with excellent results. The grout is white (a big mistake) and gets dirty in no time. The scrub brushes with steam cleaned it perfectly and the grout looks white again! I was worried it might damage the grout but it didn't in any way. I'm not sure I would use the scrubbing attachments on softer tiles, but it worked great on porcelain. I did reapply grout sealant after scrubbing to try and keep it clean and stain free.
The carpet glide freshens carpets, rugs, and dog beds. (Haan says it works on upholstery, too, but I think the machine is too heavy to hoist up on furniture.) It also deodorizes and sanitizes, which is a great for allergy sufferers. The steam is hot enough to kill dust mites! Haan says you can also use it for removing fresh carpet stains and they give directions for this in the manual, but I haven't had a stain to see how that works. It DOES make my area rugs look and smell wonderful, which is welcome since I have dogs, cats and kids.
A few tips: buy extra cleaning pads. With all steam mops, you need to attach dry pads when the ones you are using become saturated because they don't glide well when super wet. Depending upon the size of your home, 6-8 sets of pads is a good idea. Also, if you live in an area with very hard water, as I do, use distilled water. It's cheap insurance to protect your machine from damaging mineral build-up. Finally, you can machine wash and dry the pads on delicate and low heat, but air drying makes them last longer and remain more absorbent.
I'm so happy with this machine. The ability to scrub grout AND scrub outdoor surfaces makes it the most used cleaning machine in my house. If you have hard surface flooring and/or outdoor patios, decks, and porches, you may appreciate the Haan Multiforce as much as I do.
Note: I was provided this machine in exchange for my candid and unbiased review of the product. No promise was made or implied for a positive review.

So it's a Wednesday morning and the kids are on Spring Break. I pull out this steam cleaner for the first time and suddenly I am happy. I never thought I'd say cleaning the floors was fun but this morning it was. This cleaner has scrubbers on the bottom that are surprisingly vigorous, pulling the cleaner along all on its own. All I have to do is guide it along to the right place.
It is absolutely perfect for someone with rotator or shoulder issues, arthritis, or just wants to make life easy, because the machine does all the work. My floors are very clean and I feel like I did nothing at all, as opposed to the work that other steam cleaners or a mop requires, all that heaving back and forth.
For all its power and efficacy, this unit is slim and not at all heavy, easy to maneuver. The body is low profile enough to slip underneath my kitchen cabinets, which is awesome! And the pads extend past the body of the unit, so that they give the baseboards a nice cleaning as well. I've used a few steam cleaners and this one is leagues better than the rest.
Filling it is very easy, and it doesn't take all that much water, which keeps the weight down. Even so, I cleaned my kitchen, dining room, and entryway, and used only about half the water. Very efficient and my floors were almost instantly dry--no waiting around with damp floors. I wore socks and they did not get at all damp.
There's nothing I don't like about this cleaner, and am almost looking forward to my floors getting dirty again. :)

If you have another model Steam Cleaner from HAAN, you will notice immediately that the SS-22 is a more solid unit. It feels heavier and the electrical cord is thicker. Once you plug it in, if you do not push the CR-Motion button on the base, it works just like a traditional Steam cleaner - you simply push it around the floor and the steam strips floor of dirt and grime.
What is truly unique about this model however is that if you push the CR-Motion button, the bottom of the unit has 2 areas that move in opposite direction of one another and provides a back-and-forth scrubbing motion. This scrubbing motion can be used with or without the steam function. The back-and-forth motion makes the unit MUCH easier to push on tile, linoleum and hardwood floors when using the microfiber cleaning pads as it almost makes it "feel" like it is self-propelled (it's not self-propelled but is a lot easier to push). In addition, the CR-Motion also cleans the floors more efficiently as the pads pickup more dirt due to the scrubbing motion therefore I find that I have to go over the floors with fewer passes than my other streamer model.
This model also includes two actual scrub brush attachments that can attach to the bottom of the SS-22 making it a handy tool to clean outside decks, patios and walkways. You basically can spray a cleaning product on the dirty patio and then let the CR-Motion of the HAAN steamer do all the strenuous work of scrubbing the floors. This steamer really makes easy work out of what is traditionally a backbreaking Spring cleaning project.
I find that the SS-22 Model is much more versatile than my other streamer and although pricier - I believe that you will be very happy with the performance and find that it actually outperforms other models due to the CR-Motion scrubbing feature. I personally think the CR-Motion places this model light years ahead of the previous HAAN models and I like that it is durable enough to handle outdoor heavy-duty cleaning tasks (something that I cannot do with my other model).
Although I highly recommend this product - there are a few minor negatives:
1. The CR-Motion is rather noisy - not a huge deal but this model is A LOT nosier than other models.
2. The cord is rather short.
3. Two pads are simultaneously used on this model (rather than one with the other models) and they are a little harder to properly line up to ensure that they are straight. The directions suggest that you should let the steamer heat up and then attach the pads however I have never been able to successfully do this since the pads are a bit awkward to get on once the steamer is hot. I would recommend saving yourself a possible steam burn and simply attach these while the unit is cold (the little bit of moisture that the pads may accumulate in the 45 seconds that it takes for the unit to heat up is really insignificant).
Again - I highly recommend this product.
