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 steam cleaner that works well for small cleaning jobs, especially grease, stains, grout, bathroom sinks, mirrors, and even car film removal. It can clean without chemicals and the included accessories make it useful for one-handed scrubbing. The tank is small, so longer jobs take time, and the hose is not included, which makes some tasks harder. Distilled water is strongly recommended, and the recall discussion centers on older models rather than this 4155 unit.
Common Questions (5)
It can work very well on small cleaning jobs, especially grease, grime, grout, bathroom sinks, mirrors, and built-up gunk. It is less effective on stubborn stovetop stains and some users found it too small or underpowered for larger jobs.
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 in the box.
Model 4155 in this deal is not listed in the recalled Steam Shot models. The recall applied to older Steam Shot models, and the recall process for affected units is straightforward if you do have one.
Distilled water is strongly recommended because hard water can clog the nozzle sooner. Tap water can still work and may be fine in some areas, but it can shorten the cleaner's life or require cleaning/replacement if buildup forms.
The fill markings are confusing: the pour spout shows 6.5 oz, while the instructions say not to exceed 10 oz. That small tank means it can run out quickly during bigger cleaning jobs, even if it keeps up for short bursts.

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).
