In this charming story about celebrating differences a Chinese-American girl wishes for a garden of bright flowers instead of one full of bumpy, ugly, vegetables. The neighbors' gardens look so much prettier and so much more inviting to the young gardener than the garden of "black-purple-green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves, prickly stems, and a few little yellow flowers" that she and her mother grow.

Works good for me.
Very easy to put together. Holds plenty of water to mop a large area. Comes with 2 microfiber pads that are washable. Didn’t leave a lot of water on the floor. My floor dried quickly especially with the ceiling fan on. You do have to vacuum debri up first then mop. Nice attachment to steam clean other things in the house if needed. Does a good job for the price.

Powerful Steam Mop for Easy Deep Cleaning.
Color: White, Color: White
I’m very happy with this steam mop! It heats up quickly and cleans my floors really well without using harsh chemicals. The detachable handheld steamer is super useful for cleaning bathrooms, kitchen corners, and even windows. I also like the long power cord and the different attachments that make cleaning easier. Lightweight, easy to use, and a great value for the price!
If you have a small kids or baby it’s impossible to keep the floor clean, because they are dropping all the time milk, water, juice but this steam mop help me a lot.

Light Steam Mop
Color: White
I’ve been using this steam mop around the house and it’s been pretty decent. It heats up fast and the steam is strong enough to lift the usual kitchen and hallway mess without me scrubbing forever. The water tank isn’t huge, but it lasts long enough for a quick clean of a couple rooms.
The handheld part is actually useful. I’ve used it on the bathroom tiles and around the stove, and it does a better job than sprays. It’s light enough, though after a while you feel it a bit in the wrist. The long cord helps so I’m not constantly unplugging it.
The mop pads stay on and wash fine. The only thing that bugs me is the head doesn’t swivel as smoothly as I expected, so getting under low furniture takes a bit of angling.
Overall, it’s a good everyday steam mop.
