The product, in the report: Haan FS-20 Steam Mop
I have been using various brands of steam mops for quite some time, [REDACTED] and my Haan FS-20 which I had used for a few months, on a regular basis of about 2-3 times a month. Upon pulling out the mop one day, I noticed that it kept tripping my circuit breaker whenever I would plug it into a GFI outlet. Thinking that my house was just old or that I had a lot of other appliances connected to those outlets, I moved the mop to a regular outlet where I was luckily able to clean the floors.
Upon doing further research online later to determine what the problem may be, I came across several reviews from other users that the inside corrodes causing the electrical components to malfunction. I decided to take apart the bottom of my mop (of which coincidentally they use special screws that are not easy to get off. Must be to just have users purchase a new one instead of trying to fix a broken mop??) to find that the entire inside of the mop was in fact corroded. While there is a small O ring around the hole where the steam comes out, it is obviously not enough to keep water from getting inside the unit and therefore corroding all the interior components in due time. In reading other complaints where others have been injured by either using this mop in bare feet where water gets left on the floor or touching the metal part of the mop, I’m glad to say that I did not encounter this of which is rare as living in Florida we are in bare feet a long portion of the year.
I feel that this is a major design flaw or negligence in the part of Haan to ensure that a device that they sell is not better sealed or protected from water and electrical components to come into contact with each other and cause not only a short life span or issues with the mop, but also potentially dangerous conditions for a user! I would hope that the new Haan mops are much better made however in looking for a new steam mop currently, I am very hesitant to put my hard earned money out for another Haan if they can allow these things to occur.
