Light n’ Easy’s Viral Steam Mop Sold Out Within Hours, but the Model We Trust Most for Sticky Messes Is Under $100

Just hours after going viral, Amazon sold out of the popular Light n’ Easy Steam Mop and has yet to restock the hard floor cleaner since. But if you, too, are in need of a steam cleaner and aren’t keen on waiting for a restock, we’ve cleaned many a sticky mess and our favorite tested pick is not only in stock, but it’s also on sale right now.

The Bissell 1806 PowerFresh Deluxe Steam Mop earned its title as “Best Overall” after mopping up the floor against the other 30+ cleaners that we tested. Like the trending Light n’ Easy model that shoppers can’t get enough of, this Bissell one easily tackles all kinds of stains and messes, including everyday dirt, grime buildup, sticky residue, and more. And it’s finally under $100 at Amazon right now.

This powerful Bissell works wonders on all types of sealed hard floors, including hardwoods, tile, ceramic, granite, marble, and linoleum. It deep cleans and sanitizes, too. But one thing the Bissell 1806 PowerFresh does that the Light n’ Easy can’t is freshen up the floor with the help of scented discs. The Bissell steam mop has a built-in compartment for discs, which, when activated with steam, release a fresh floral scent for an extra clean feeling.

During our testing, we ranked it highest in effectiveness, design, maneuverability, and ease of use. After all, it only took three passes to completely remove the stickiest substance we tested, and the design is so simple, even a kid could use the on/off button, indicator light, and buttons for both steam settings. It even comes with an On Board spot boost brush that cleans hard-to-reach areas that you wouldn’t want to do by hand (like behind the toilet bowl—yuck!).

Despite weighing 6.2 pounds—that’s 3 pounds heavier than the Light n’ Easy— plenty of the Bissell’s 19,000 five-star reviewers appreciate how lightweight it is. One person wrote, “I had another mop similar to this [and] found it difficult to move around the floor, [but] this one glides nicely and isn’t too heavy.” They continued, “I thought my floors were pretty clean until I purchased this. I mopped three times before the mop pads quit pulling up dirt. I won’t go back to a standard mop again.”

Someone else who owns four cats and three large dogs said they’re “no strangers to dirt, litter, grass, mud, and all the crap that comes with owning pets,” but they “realize[d] [their] floors have never been clean until now.” They added, “The simple fact that I can steam clean and scrub my base boards has got to be the greatest thing ever.”

Don’t wait forever for the Light n’ Easy to come back in stock—not when you can grab a similar model, aka the tested, tried-and-true Bissell 1806 PowerFresh right now for less than $100. It does everything the Light n’ Easy can. Plus, it leaves behind the lovely smell of freshness. Grab it now on sale at Amazon for just $98, and take a look at more steam mops below.
