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 tooIn 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 convenientFor 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!

Easy to set-up and use, and does a very good job. A great improvement on normal mops.

I deliberated for a couple of weeks over which product to buy. I have shark vacuum cleaners in my home however their steam mop didn’t have an on/off switch which led me to buy this H2O HD 5-in-1 steam mop.I was initially sceptical however since using I was pleased with outcomes. Floors cleaned and dried relatively quickly as windows doors were open. Cleaned in the bathroom - floor Lino, basin, wall tiles, toilet. Cleaned oven really impressed. Plus cleaned windows very impressed. The hand held element is quite heavy and cumbersome to handle when trying to clean away residue on windows and wall tiles but other than that I am happy with my purchase. For me it gives a thorough clean without me having to buy detergents for every room in my home … steam cleans all.

The product came well package, was easily assembled with the manufacturers instruction. Arrived within delivery guidelines. Thank you.

It worked well but soon broke down. The tank is very flimsy. First one cracked and started soaking the floor. Its replacement started to crack, due to the heat from the boiler underneath (see photo attached). Totally unsuitable material for this application.Then it stopped steaming, due to being clogged up inside. Judging by the number of YouTube videos dealing with this problem it seems to be very common - and I live in a soft water area so it’s not due to limescale build up.All in all, it’s poorly made and just not worth the money.

My review on this mop is wow amazing I have had other steam mops in the past and binned them .But this one is like the Rolls-Royce of steam mops ..... my brother inlaw who has severe autism on different levles hadn't cleaned his kitchen for 28yrs . So you can imagine the state of the kitchen. When I seen the state it was in i thought oh noooo it's going to kill me trying to get all the grease and dirt off the units . As I have a muscle condition that causes chronic weakness .So I started to use this steam mop that detaches into a hand held steamer with a jet nozzle and a small soft bristled screw on brush .... using this cut through it like a hot knife through butter can't praise this machine enough .It does generate a lot of steam so I would suggest putting a cloth on the floor when doing the kitchen units just to soak up the water . "Not much " but just to make sure you don't soak the flooring etcI always read reviews before I buy anything now , as I have wasted so much money on gadgits etc so honest reviews are important .The mop has 3 different steam levles it takes 30 seconds to start when you switch it on .The head isn't flimsy like most other mops it's tough but light .All the tools are easy to put together for doing windows steaming your fabrics steaming your mattress etcI cleaned his bath and wow it was amazing ! I scrubbed this bath before the mop was delivered and I thought it was clean . No it wasn't, the steam mop with the soft screw on brush got it spotless !!I have even cleaned all the white double glazed window frames which come up like they where new !!28 yrs of not being cleaned his home is now so clean you could eat yout dinner off it lolThe pads are Velcro which are amazing too , they stay in place !!The other older steam mops, you had to put the whole thing on and pull the cord to Sucure it .The Micro fiber pad is thick and holds a lot of water off the steam . So you don't get smears everywhere,the older steam mops would be soaked and never able to glide across the floors without scrunching up and and tightening and needing to replace it after every room . This one just sticks on and just glides across the room no problems ...The only thing I can say bad about this steam mop is .... you only get ONE Micro fibre pad . And I am finding it hard to find the replacement soft bristled screw on brushYou have to buy a jet nozzle and hard wired bristle brush To be able to get the soft bristle brush . They ware out quicklyAnd if you want more pads it's quite expensive for a pack of 3But would be worth your while because these wash up amazing !The Velcro still works after a lot of use so it stays in place .One pad isn't enough for the price you pay for the actual steam mop as you need to use a separate one for your bathroom and kitchen . ...my review is 10 out of 10 and worth every penny .My other advice would be don't buy any compatible replacement brushes or pads as I made a mistake thinking these would be ok . They aren't they don't fit .i have asked questions on here and people just say yes I don't no why they do that but Just buy the ones for that model . Or you'll be wasting more money . So in the long run it's worth paying extra for the pads That are for that model . OnlyIf you have any questions just ask me and I'll give you the correct Honest answer . :)
