Target's half-price steam mop worth a look on Black Friday

Steam mops are a good way to clean tile and vinyl kitchen floors, but the bet models are pricey. Target's leaked Black Friday circular reveals that the store will offer the Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe, normally $100, for only $50 that day. We think this is a good deal, since the regular Bissell Steam Mop is a Best Reviewed item in the most recent ConsumerSearch report on steam mops.

Like the regular Bissell steam mop, the Deluxe model is designed to clean hard floors. It possesses its own water purification system and is chemical-free, requiring just water and steam to clean effectively. Some of the common complaints registered by users of the regular Bissell Steam Mop are that it's not suitable for all floors and that it leaves behind standing water, which owners then manually blot up. The latter issue isn't exclusive to the Bissell, though -- it's a common problem with most steam mops.

Bottom line: At half off the normal retail price, the Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe is an attractive Black Friday special. If you're looking for additional info to consider before buying a steam mop, we have a rundown of important features to look for when shopping for one in our most recent full report.
