- Sealed hard floors
- Adjustable steam
- Sanitizing
A pocket steam mop that adds what basic models lack: three levels of adjustable steam plus a Steam Blaster burst for grout and stuck-on messes, with double-sided flip pads that double your cleaning between washes. It sanitizes sealed tile, stone and vinyl with water only, but like every steam mop it must stay off unsealed wood and laminate.
Pros
- Three-level intelligent steam control lets you dial down for light jobs or up for baked-on messes
- Steam Blaster fires a targeted burst to loosen grime from grout lines and corners
- Double-sided Dirt Grip pads and touch-free pad release keep hands clean and cut refills in half
Cons
- Like all steam mops, it is unsafe on unsealed wood, waxed floors and most laminate, which steam can warp
- Corded, so the 25 ft tether limits reach versus a cordless mop
- Pads need regular washing, and the unit is bulkier to store than a flat mop
