    I've had the black and Decker one from Woodies for nearly two years now.

    Highly recommend it. Think it cost 88.95

    Thanks a million for the recommendation, I just looked it up on the Argos website, and it's got great reviews there too, so I will buy it I think

    Got this today, got the Black&Decker as recommended, €79, and I have to say am very pleased with it. Very easy to use, and super quick to dry also.

    Does it leave a shadow after its finished? find that with our porcelain tiles.

    Does it do wood floors?

    Thanks

    I didn't think so, my tiles are ceramic so i don't know if this makes a difference. According to the box it does do wood floors,and there are different settings for that but i have all tiles so can't help much on that

    I recently got a X5 mop bought to me for cream polished porcelain tiles, and it was meant to clean tiles and be bone dry within a few seconds (well thats what the demo on QVC showed anyway).

    Well on all 4 settings it left the floor wet, and it needed to be polished off after it was cleaned. So sort of defeated the purpose of it, as using boiling water and a mop does the same job and still needs drying off afterwards.

    May end up getting returned under the 30 day guarantee.
