The steam mop of the Scarlett trademark is made in turquoise colours and stands out against the background of analogues with an original design. In the lower part of the housing there is a heating element and working nozzles, and a metal tube-cane with a handle is provided on top.

Against the background of models from other manufacturers, the Scarlett SC-SM31B01 is light in weight (1.8 kg). Even if you often lift the mop during operation, the hands of fragile representatives of the fair sex will not get tired.

The device is equipped with a 1300-watt heating element. This indicator contributes to economical energy consumption, providing a fairly quick readiness for operation: 25 seconds after switching on, the water temperature reaches 90-100 °C, which is notified by the indicator light on the housing.

The heater has overheating protection, which is designed to eliminate any force majeure during operation: from the failure of the mop to the threat of fire.

Scarlett SC-SM31B01 received a 0.35-liter tank with a removable plug on the neck. It is necessary to replenish the water reserves inside every 15 minutes of continuous operation.

The mop is designed to remove dirt and disinfect various floor coverings, including tiles, linoleum, parquet and laminate. For these purposes, the model is equipped with a rectangular floor nozzle and a soft microfibre pad for delicate care. The 180 degree rotation angle of the steam head will allow cleaning in hard-to-reach places.

The model is easy to operate: the assembly and disassembly process is intuitive, and the controls are represented by a single button. The device does not require a lot of storage space, which is very important for residents of small apartments. The disadvantages of the mop include a fairly short 4-metre power cord, which limits the cleaning radius without switching between outlets. Two special fasteners on the body are offered for winding it.

Scarlett SC-SM31B01 is one of the most affordable models on the market. It is worth looking at all those who are looking for a low-cost device for cleaning and disinfecting floors.

With a manual unit, your hands get tired quickly.
 

The device of the German manufacturer Clatronic assumes two scenarios of use: as a steam mop together with a telescopic stand and a manual steamer. Thanks to this, the model can be used to clean and disinfect not only floor coverings, but also windows, kitchen apron, cooking surfaces, etc.

The versatility of the Clatronic DR 3539 is also supported by a large set of supplies. A special nozzle with two cloth rags is provided for carpets and floors. A point nozzle will help to get to the dirt in hard-to-reach places (corners, joints and seams). A separate nozzle with a rag is available for washing windows. In addition, the set includes a measuring cup and 4 more brushes, including a round one and a scraper, allowing you to combine steam treatment with mechanical action to clean old and persistent dirt.

The model is equipped with a compact 300 mL water tank and a 1500-watt heater with overheating protection. Steam generation begins 30 seconds after the device is started, and the steam supply intensity reaches 25 g/min. Although, on average, the latter indicator is lower, since the continuous operation time when the water tank is fully filled is stated at 30 minutes.

The Clatronic DR 3539 received a 5-metre power cord, which gives an acceptable range. To avoid clutter during storage, the wire can be wound, for which special holders are provided.

The total weight of the device with a telescopic stand is 1.6 kg, which guarantees comfort even with prolonged use of the mop on various floor surfaces. But in the manual version, as some users note, the hands still get tired quickly enough, which should be attributed to the disadvantages of the model.

In general, the Clatronic DR 3539 has virtually no competitors in its price segment, attracting with its versatility and numerous complete nozzles.

The body of the steam mop of the American trademark Black & Decker consists of three elements: the steam generator itself, the handle and the floor cleaning head. The total weight of 1.8 kg and compactness contribute to both easy transportation and storage, as well as comfortable operation. The steam generator can be used separately, as a manual device for cleaning different surfaces.

In addition to the traditional rectangular microfibre for floors, the Black&Decker FSMH13E10 is equipped with 9 more nozzles, including a carpet glider, a window and mirror scraper, a textile overlay, a steam jet nozzle and a set of five brushes of various sizes and shapes. Thanks to them, the functionality of the mop is not limited to the care of floors and carpets. The device allows you to wash windows and walls, remove dirt from the interlayer seams, clean and refresh clothes.

The Black&Decker FSMH13E10 floor cleaning head has a 180-degree swivel base. It simplifies the cleaning of floors near the baseboard, in corners and under furniture. Microfibre is fixed with Velcro and can be washed up to 100 times in the washing machine.

Thanks to the 1300-watt heater, the model is ready for steam generation in half a minute after switching on, providing a steam temperature of 110 °C. Up to 380 mL of water is placed in the built-in tank, which is enough for 11 minutes of continuous operation.

The disadvantage of a steam mop is a short power cord (4 m). Otherwise, Black&Decker FSMH13E10 is a good representative of the mid—price segment with universal cleaning and disinfection capabilities.

 
Steam supply power regulator, removable water tank with descaling protection.
 
 
No tangible shortcomings have been identified.
 

A distinctive feature of the model representing the Deluxe series of Black&Decker is the Autoselect control system. On the handle of the mop there is a steam power regulator in the form of a wheel. It allows you to choose the appropriate mode for specific types of flooring: parquet/laminate, stone/marble or tile/vinyl.

The Black&Decker FSM1616 is notable for having a double Left&Reach steam sole. By pressing the foot on the button, the wide rectangular floor nozzle turns into a compact delta-shaped one, which will provide access to corners and other hard-to-reach areas of the floors. Included with the model are the appropriate shapes of microfibre. They are easily fixed on the sole with Velcro and can withstand 100 cleaning cycles provided they are automatically washed at temperatures up to 60 °C.

The mop is equipped with a steam generator with a power of 1600 watts. It is ready to work in 30 seconds and turns water into steam with a temperature of 110 °C. Such hygienic treatment, according to the manufacturer, not only cleans various floor coverings, but also destroys up to 99% of various microbes and pathogenic bacteria without the use of household chemicals.

The Black&Decker FSM1616 is complemented by a 350 mL water tank. It is removed from the steam generator, which will allow you to do without measuring containers or watering cans, and not carry the device to the sink for refueling with liquid. The tank has a built-in filtration system that can protect the mop from scale and extend its service life.

The model weighs 2.7 kg, which is an acceptable value for a device designed only for the care of floor coverings. The 5-metre network cable can be wound on special clamps on the housing.

Allergy sufferers, pet owners and all those who are looking for a high-quality steam mop for cleaning floors should take a closer look at the easy-to-manage and operate model.

 
Suction function, steam power regulator, removable water tank with descaling protection, long power cord.
 
 
Price, heavy weight (5.4 kg).
 

The Rowenta brand model supports the suction function, thanks to which it is positioned by the manufacturer as a vertical steam cleaner-vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning any hard floor coverings.

The Rowenta RY 7557 mop is equipped with a steam generator, which is ready to work in half a minute after switching on. Three modes are available to the user, differing in steam supply power: minimum (for parquet and laminate), medium (for stone) and maximum (tile). The corresponding regulator is located on the handle.

The cyclone technology Air Force Cyclonic is responsible for the removal of contaminants. Stable suction force is maintained regardless of the degree of filling of the 0.4-liter plastic dust collector.

The branded Dual Clean nozzle adds convenience&Steam, which allows vacuuming and treating floors with steam at the same time. Although, according to user reviews, it is better to first remove dust and various contaminants, and then wash and disinfect the surfaces using a steam generator. But even in sequential mode, you will not have to change the nozzles.

The Rowenta RY 7557 vacuum cleaner received a 700 mL water tank. With it, the time of continuous steam treatment can reach 40 minutes, which, according to the manufacturer, will allow cleaning an area of up to 100 square metres. The tank is easily removable for filling and is supplemented with a removable descaling cartridge (two such filters are included in the package).

The dust collector is also conveniently removed, and during the cleaning process it is possible not to come into contact with dirt.

Various details are thought out in the design of the model. The height of the handle is adjusted to the height of the user using a telescopic steel tube. A 7.5-metre power cord provides a large range from one outlet. The microfibre fabric pad is easy to remove and can be cleaned in the washing machine. To store the device, it is enough to put it vertically, including on a special complete stand.

Despite the presence of wheels on the nozzle, the total weight of 5.4 kg is very noticeable and, at least, the first time of operation will quickly tyre your hands. The disadvantages of Rowenta RY 7557 also include a high price, but considering that this steam mop also replaces a vertical vacuum cleaner, such a cost is quite justified.
