It can heat up to above 200 degrees in half a minute. This makes it more effective at cleaning dirt and many kinds of messes on various surfaces including your mattress.
5. Cleaning performance for different tasks
It does well for floors but you may need to make a few passes over stains such as your pet prints because of the little amount of steam produced.
With some considerable scrubbing, you are sure to get your countertops clean. The grout brush is very convenient for removing grout effortlessly.
On countertops, it worked but required considerable scrubbing. Though it will leave some residual water in those nukes and crannies, its angle ability is very efficient.
The machine can be heavy while cleaning windows. It is not that ideal for window cleaning.

Tips to Use it Properly to Mop Your Floor
What you need to do first is to fill the water tank with distilled water.
Plug in the steam mop and when ready it will start blinking.
Let the blinking stop, (the blinking takes 30 seconds), and with a steady light, begin to mop.
There are two steam levels to choose from, low or high.
After deciding the steam level you need, pull and hold the trigger.
Once the mop starts producing steam, (you will hear a whooshing sound), you can begin cleaning.
Can You Use It to Clean Your Carpet?
You can gently refresh your carpet with the powerful steam and soft microfiber mop pads from the Bissell Power Steamer Heavy Duty 2685A. However, this machine is not intended for carpet cleaning.
When refreshing your carpet, use the steam mop gently in continuous motions. Avoid having the mop over one area for a long period to protect your carpet from damage.
Conclusion
Though it does a good job, you might experience fatigue on your fingers as you have to press the trigger button all through the cleaning process. You can use this mop on even and uneven surfaces and even use it to clean out the entire mold and mildew on your bathroom tiles.
