H2O HD 5-in-1 Steam Mop & Handheld Steam Cleaner – Carpet Cleaner, Clothes Steamer, Grout & Window Tools, Chemical-Free, Lightweight & Compact, 1500W, 450ml Tank, Variable Settings

This steam cleaner is the last essential tool in my house maintenance equipment. Originally bought to maintain floors, I now steam curtains and clothes to protect against moths, dust the skirting boards, banister and all the other less frequently cleaned areas and corners, and effortlessly clean the windows too. Material and build quality: ———————————— The overall build quality and design is very good indeed. I was initially concerned with the quality of the plastic. It is not ABS but a cheaper plastic. The entire machine is made of it where I would have liked a metal tubing handle section at least. In use, the machine is excellent although I do not like using it as a steam wand due to the short 30” flexi attachment making it too bulky and uncomfortable for cleaning the entire bathroom. Where I find issues arise with plastics in domestic tools is where objects are continually knocked against hard surfaces or where the tool falls over or is dropped onto a hard surface. Design wise, I really like it’s ability to fold in half for easy storage. I also appreciate the simple removal of the water tank for practical refilling whether it is used in the hand held mode or floor mop mode. Not being heavy, it is also very easy to steam carpets. The H20 can be left free-standing’ when not used but it is not stable and easily knocked over. It is for this reason that I ensure I ALWAYS lean it against a wall. I also take a pro-active approach to prevent damage when I’m using it. It isn’t cheap and there are far better dedicated and more robust floor streamers out there but they are not as versatile. I already have a Henry vacuum cleaner + turbo tools, large carpet cleaner, and two battery G-Techs. Storing tools conveniently means I need to think of size and space. If I can’t get to it, I am less likely to use it. The H20 HD fold in half and is easy to store as are the attachments and it is for this reason I bought it. The cloth mop heads are excellent quality and I will be buying more original spares. I did originally have the older version of this mop. I did not look after it and bought cheap mop heads. It constantly blocked, was not well designed, the 3rd party mop heads fell apart quickly and it finally stopped working. The H20 HD filters are excellent and last 3 months according to Thane. I will be sticking to this cadence. At current prices, this works out at £2.50 per month which, if used almost daily, I feel is very reasonable and ensures the machine will not need de-scaling or risk blocking up altogether. I will be regularly running white vinegar or citric acid through it too In Use - 1st weekend! ____________________ I had not planned to do any housework on the first weekend following the delivery but ended up deep cleaning carpets and organising my chaotic attic too. I work from home and so continually maintain the house throughout the week. I knew that if I steamed all floors, I’d keep pet smells down. I also thought I would save on the whole floor mop prep wash and dry time. What I didn’t know was just how much I’d use this tool. Firstly, the stone floors are now steam cleaned daily as it is that easy and convenient For the carpets, which I will now steam weekly, it occurred to me that I could also steam them as a preparation to using the carpet cleaner. I was shocked at how much more dirt was then washed out of them and in a far quicker amount of time I usually have to do two full passes with the carpet cleaner - a big machine which only comes out about twice a year and usually takes me the entire weekend to complete the house and stairs. I iron as little as possible but now I can steam only the essential items when needed. The wife still washes and irons anything merely glanced at, her choice! Whilst in the attic, where I have my, now redundant, officewear and seasonal wardrobe, I saw a carpet moth. I know that steam kills moths, larvae and eggs so I began to steam the immediate area. This lead to me to deciding to steam the floor…which was heavily cluttered and so I spent the next 4 hours reorganising the entire attic, hanging all clothing on the four rails I bought 2 years ago for the job, and then, to finish, I decided to steam each item of clothing…one by one! Next unplanned job was the windows. You do need to polish windows/mirrors after washing but that was fine. However, as I was cleaning them, I noticed how dusty the shutters were. This lead to them being cleaned too - didn’t even have to change the attachment. So, House is now cleaner and I am happy with my purchase. I hope this review and my initial experience helps someone to make a decision. I am very impressed with this tool and hope it will last a long time. I was not prepared to clean my whole house to to bottom almost within the first weekend of its arrival but now have a base line. Be prepared to get carried away cleaning!

Good clear instructions, well illustrated to help. Easy to set up and use with fresh water. As you are given only 1 pad for the steamer, another would be a sensible purchase. Ideally you could use distilled water to prevent calcium build up, a descaler is included in the bundle. The hand held steamer works quickly with 3 levels of steam available. (Don't forget to open a window when using it)

I do love my steam mop. Had it for a few months now. Easy to use and great on my tiled floors. I like that it becomes handheld but it is a bit awkward to use like this as you cant tip it upside down as it runs out of water. Also the clip to make it stand isn't strong enough so it's fallen over a few times. I like the carpet steam option but it could do with clipping in. And some of the attachments like the wire brush could be stronger. That being said I use it for so much. Makes cleaning the oven so quick. The floors feel so clean especially as I have a dog and cat. Good for cleaning the shower and shower glass.

This is my first experience with steam cleaners/mops and I'm very pleasantly surprised by the power and ease of use of this thing. Before purchasing, I did the usual homework watching the Glossy Infomercials and then the "Real Use" videos. They left me slightly confused and unconvinced to be honest. The infomercials showed exaggerated dirt being whisked away in a flash, while the others showed people with water everywhere taking 10 mins to clean a 4 inch strip of grubby bath seal. Having tried the thing.... neither are true. SO....does it actually work ? A RESOUNDING YES ! As a floor cleaner, it is GOOD....really GOOD, but whether it's carpet or wooden floors, you have to vacuum FIRST. From what I can see, a lot of people expect it to somehow suck up the dirt and water - BUT it doesn't claim to do that. What it does, and does really well, is RELEASE dirt and grease quickly and easily, so regardless of the tool you choose for the job the dirt/water either needs to get soaked up by the attached cloth/pad when floor cleaning, or you need to have a seperate absorbent (microfiber) cloth at hand if you are using any of the nozzle attachments. Works best if you run the nozzle/brush along releasing dirt and water, then mop it with a cloth as you go - EASY Even on carpet I was surprised at how much hidden dirt ended up on the pad and my carpets seem to have a new lease of life afterwards. The pile/loft becomes springy again even in heavy traffic areas. Same with kitchen flooring, quick easy, and it leaves a nice shine with little effort. Wooden floors will be ""wet" initially but dry out within a few minutes. Tackling shower/toilet - means using the concentration nozzle. This means VERY CONCENTRATED STEAM. It also means opening the windows if you don't want to end up in your own steam room. Within 2 mins I couldn't see what I was trying to clean (I wear glasses !!! ) but it did an embarrassingly good job of releasing all kinds of stuff, from all kinds of places. Haven't tried the window cleaning thingy yet but see no reason why it won't work as good as the rest. It also doubles as a wallpaper steamer by the way. OVERALL Well made machine, with lots of power which has already changed the way my house gets cleaned and sanitised. BTW you'll need lots of extra pads !!!

A great cleaner! Makes cleaning something to look forward too!

Los productos comprados superaron mis espectativas

Además ha renovado y desmanchado mis escaleras de cantera. Es un “must have” para todas nosotras amas de casa. Se las recomiendo chicas!

it’s a good steam mop

Tha H20 is good, but it didn’t include the eight piece accessories. It only came with the main unit and basics and didn’t include the extra cleaning accessories. So I was disappointed. I have an old one the same but last time I used it the cleaning cloth fused with the mop head and it was impossible to remove. In other words it was useless. I haven’t used my new one yet but hope it works better this time.
