I too have ordered the Haan Floor steamer. You must thoroughly read the directions. Yes it is slow to push, all steamers within that price range are a bit hard to push. The Haan Floor Steamer is one of the easiest to push. You must use your mop slow in order to give your floor a good clean. It will take about 3 to 4 cleanings in order to appreciate the product. Afterward it is easier. When cleaning tile floors remember it cleans the tile only, it will not clean the grout. That is even stated in the commercials. It is a bit difficult to clean around corners. I had to do my floors 3 times to fully appreciate the steamer. It os a bit bulky for counter tops, but it can be done. It dos leave a minute amount of water on the floor but it dries in about 1 to 2 minutes. I have tried several and this is about the best out in the market unless you buy what I call a real steamer which run upward $1000. These do clean grout because it has brushes, and etc. I have four dogs, one 16 year old child and 7 year 14 year old which are always into sports, and dragging filth from outside. My floors are spotless. My whole house is tiled and I do have some large rugs. It sanitizes the rugs, but it will not clean the rugs, this is mentioned in the instruction manual. All in all I'm satisfied with the product, but it does have a bit of a learning curve to actually master it. Hope this helps anyone interested. No, I do not work for the company.
