Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop vs Black+Decker HSM13E1 Steam Mop

Buy the Bissell PowerFresh if you have grout, sticky dried-on messes or large hard floors. Its flip-down scrubber, variable steam control and bigger tank do more than the Black+Decker. The Black+Decker HSM13E1 is lighter and simpler, and its carpet glider helps on rugs, but it has no scrubber and a smaller tank. Owners of both rate them close, around 4.2 to 4.3, and the Bissell's scrubber is the feature reviewers mention most.

• Choose the Bissell PowerFresh if you want a scrubber for grout and stuck-on spots, adjustable steam, and fewer refills on big floors.
• Choose the Black+Decker HSM13E1 if you want a light, simple mop that also glides over low-pile carpet.
