Absolutely love it
I've read other reviews on this before I purchased mine, so I know all about how it doesnt get next to the mop-boards. I find that if I mop sideways from the mop-board then it gets closer to it than if I were to mop using the head-on approach. I love how you can shut cloths of your choice in it. Consumers like to feel like they have a choice and aren't forced to buy the proprietary pads for the Shark and other similar cleaners. Additionally this Gruene is more effective because the steam only shoots directly out of the bottom and is not wasted by trying to shoot out the sides or front as some I was able to find during my searches.
A thing to keep in mind: If you're looking for perfection with any item you're thinking about choosing then you're instantly setting yourself up for disappointment. You have to look at it objectively.
Take string mops, Libman removable head mops, Swiffer and standard sponge squeeze mops for example. They ALL leave something to be...

I decided to give this steamer 5/5, not because I have any other steamers to compare it to- but because it kicks ass at what it does. I've cleaned showers, tile floors, kitchen counter tops, sinks, windows, vinyl plank flooring, car rims and to date there hasn't been a task that it hasn't done well on. This being my first steamer purchase, I was skeptical about how easy / hardcore at cleaning it could actually be. What really sold me on this particular model is the dual functionality - going from a handheld cleaner to a mop; AND the benefit of being able to use my own cleaning cloths.
Gruene 2 in 1 steamer mop
So far so good! We had a slight issue at first with it not generating steam, but a call to the customer support number got us straightened out within minutes. Note to buyers: it takes a few minutes (not a few seconds) for water to saturate the filter on the initial use. Customer support recommended taking a squeeze bottle filled with water (we used a dollar store ketchup bottle) and forcing water into the filter. This got us steam within seconds and it's been gangbusters ever since.
It cleans just as well as a mop with cleaning solutions in less time (if you figure in the time it takes to fill up bucket, mix chemicals, etc.), with less mess (leaves surfaces slightly damp vs. wet), and less cleanup afterward (no chemicals to dump/rinse - just throw the cloth pad in the laundry). That's another thing - the clamp that holds the cloth pad on allows you to use any kind of cloth, so you're not stuck buying replacement pads; you can use old towels or rags. With 3 cats running...
