However, it got to work on our slightly grimy windows and lifted off every stubborn finger print that had been bugging us for months. The trigger button is by far the easiest we tested of the handhelds, and was comfortable to keep pressed down, even at awkward angles. Both the amount of steam generated and the rotational speed of the scrubbing pads are controlled by each of the Cleaning Modes, with “Deep” cleaning mode producing the most steam (and consuming water fastest) and using the highest scrubbing speed.

It scrubbed pancake batter off the floor easily that my son felt needed to stay there all day to show us how much mess he can make. It’s easy to assemble – the steam mop handle and steam mop body slot together, although you’ll need a flathead screwdriver to secure them in place. The pads rotate and scrub, and sort of propel the mop along, so it’s not hard work at all and, in fact, led to a very speedy clean. And they’re useful in the bathroom and kitchen too, lifting mould, limescale and grease without you having to scrub for ages. Only small complaint, watch out for the cord, if it gets caught in the rotating, it will suck up the cord and keep on spinning and tangle it.The triangle tool was amazing at lifting stubborn stains out of our carpet without leaving a huge amount of water soaked into it. Apparently we were mistaken, because as soon we started tracing the lines between the tiles using the steam crevice tool, trickles of dirty water started dribbling down the wall (having a kitchen roll to hand was useful for precisely this reason). There are also five nozzle brushes, including a brass one for cleaning barbecue and oven racks – genius. Shark recommends using only distilled water, which is clearly intended to prevent the formation of mineral scale deposits which would occlude the steam producing components. I would be concerned for someone who is not stable on their feet to use this mop, the mop will bounce away if it hits something.

Certainly with its nine accessories in the box, it can do some heavy lifting in the cleaning department. It’s a steam cleaner that looks good, too, with a high-gloss, grey-and-white chassis, an ultra-slim handle and flexible mop heads with a chevron design which wouldn’t look out of place on a racing car (the jury’s out on whether or not this will speed up your cleaning sessions). The water reservoir is very easy to fill because it takes so little water and thankfully there is no dirty water reservoir to drain.The steering and maneuverability are remarkable, and make cleaning my hard floors as easy as can be. We wanted easy-to-use machines that elevated our clean, rather than being just another gadget that grows dusty in our cupboards.

Even with the integral alignment aid, the scrubbing pads do not center absolutely perfectly, which results in minor oscillation of the mop head while in operation. Overall, we found this steam cleaner lifted limescale and grease with ease, and got our floors sparkling without leaving loads of excess water behind. The unit is very lightweight, and subject to tipping over if left upright and unattended with the power cord dangling. That augmentation might also reduce the offensive odor of the steam mop, and replace it with the scent of the floor cleaner product.Smaller steam cleaners will heat up faster, but that also means you may have to refill your water tank more often, perhaps in the middle of your chores. This budget-friendly steam cleaner purports to lift grease, kill germs and be lightweight and portable. We found that the fabric attachment was pretty good at getting stubborn stains out of carpets but, as the reservoir is 250ml, it’s best for spot stains rather than attempting to clean a wider surface area.

Users must evaluate whether that procedure is practical or not for their cleaning regime, as it certainly exceeds how most users would probably utilize the mop. If you have a decent sized area to deep clean, I recommend that you have extra distilled water on hand. Included is a water filling flask, and I was surprised by how little water it takes to fill the reservoir, and how long it lasted with the water tank filled. Shark claims that the clever design – which includes a mop head which flips over to reveal a fresh cleaning surface – slashes cleaning times and boosts cleaning power without adding unnecessary weight (it weighs just 2. When cleaning for a spa-like experience, I add a few drops of lavender oil to the pad and the steam makes the whole house smell great.And we were impressed with the specific hob-cleaning attachment – although we did find it left a lot of surface water on our hob. We went for normal, and it lifted so many stains that our regular, non-steam mop couldn’t remove from our wooden floors. However, there was a distinct, unpleasant odor produced along with the steam, possibly because the unit was new (however it was evidently steam tested at the factory based on the visible condensation on the inside of the transparent front of the water tank). Even though it is compact and lightweight, I was quite impressed with how effective it is at cleaning and sanitizing hard floors. Another great feature is the 22 foot long power cord that minimizes the amount of times that I have to change outlets.
