In all seriousness this was in good condition and great for use in getting stains out and getting built up gunk out without using chemicals
The original model of these was recalled, but not this updated model.

Bissell's Steam Shot is a compact handheld steamer that shines on small cleaning jobs, especially grease, grime, grout, bathroom sinks, mirrors, and even stubborn plastic film. It can work without chemicals and the low price makes it feel like a strong value. The tank is small, so longer jobs take time, and the unit is less convenient without the hose, which is not included. Some comments also flag heat, buildup, and recall concerns, so checking the model and recall status matters.
Common Questions (5)
It can work very well on small jobs like bathroom sinks, mirrors, grout, grills, and built-up grease when paired with a cleaner like Dawn spray. The small tank means you may need to refill often, and it is less effective on very stubborn stovetop stains.
No hose is included, and the garment/fabric steamer attachment is also not included. The unit is still usable for small jobs, but it is much less convenient without the hose and some listing photos show attachments that are not part of the package.
Model 4155 in this deal is not included in the recalled Steam Shot models listed in the BISSELL safety recall. The original Steam Shot models were recalled, so it is worth checking the model number before assuming any unit is affected.
The recall process can be very simple: BISSELL may ask for a photo of the unit with the power cord cut and the model number visible, and no accessories need to be returned. Replacement units have reportedly arrived within about 2 days after filing the claim.
Distilled water is strongly recommended because hard tap water can clog the nozzle sooner and shorten the cleaner's life. Some users still run tap water successfully, but that can increase the risk of buildup and eventual cleaning or replacement.

No, they absolutely have not. The other thread will clarify this.

Process appears very straightforward.
The model number for the item (4155) in this deal is not included in the recall.
Even still, you are likely to burn yourself at least once over the lifetime of use in a rush to either refill the reservoir and continue cleaning or to finish up by dumping out the excess water and air dry it before storage. Stupid humans gonna stupid. Attempting to relieve the pressure with the trigger doesn't fix the problem so I suggest storing this with an oven mitt and you'll be ahead of the game.

Great unit for $15. I think at $15 well worth it, $12 is no brainer...
I'm glad I got to try it... While it's good for SOME tasks, it's definitely not good at getting stains off of stovetop and really stuck in stains. (Unfortunately, for me... Chemicals is the only way)
Puts out "steam" that isn't hot at all. Wonder if I got a bad unit?
Just saw the one with the hose at Marshals for $40. I'm happy with the $15 one I got on the last deal.

It's been clarified over and over in the thread before this one (the thread w this item w/o the discount code).
