Hard surfaces – Excellent steam pressure and a combination of the microfibre cloth and brush make it easy to deal with all types of hard floor. Underneath, the tougher parts of dirt were harder to remove, and there’s a slight issue with the steam cleaner: after a good burst of steam, the Hoover Steam Capsule 2in1 reduces pressure and it takes a good 30 seconds or so for it to build up to max output again. You should also double-check that you’ve correctly attached the hose and/or any accessories: if they’re not rotated and locked into place, it’s easy to dislodge one with a bit of vigorous cleaning, particularly if you’re using any of the brushes. The conic tool gives you a directed burst of steam, but it’s also able to take the excellent range of accessories, which include an angled nozzle, two sizes of metal brushes for oven shelves, a round brush for tough stains, a relatively small window squeegee, and a small cloth.

lithium-ion battery that provides up to 30 minutes runtime on a single charge - enough to clean your hard floors without recharging**.All Hoover steam mops convert water to powerful steam to eliminate up to 99% of bacteria and germs such as Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Candida Albican, Aspergillus Niger instantly from any treated surface.

Like all steam cleaners, this looks like a cross between a slim vacuum and a mop, and comes in an inoffensive dark grey with teal accents. Tools simply rotate clockwise until locked into place, while there’s a foot pedal to secure floor brushes.The cable is annoying: there should be somewhere near the top of the handle to clip it to, so it doesn’t get under your feet. The multi-use floor nozzle allows you to mop hard floors, then convert instantly into a scrubbing brush for tough stains. As they dont need detergent, they are also great value for money and extra kind to the environment too.
