Shark Genius steam mop review: specification, how to use, controls and more.

Steam cleaning has been around for quite some time, but it’s starting to make its way more into the mainstream in nearly everyone’s home anymore, as compared to the other traditional cleaning methods with steam clean. By using a steam cleaner, you’re producing less imprints on the ozone layer, as well as using sanitizing methods to create a clean environment for your happy and healthy home. If you have tile floors, you may not be in need of a big bulky steam cleaner, but you should definitely consider investing in a steam mop. In this review, we’re going to talk about the Shark Genius steam mop system, and it ranks a 9 on our 10-point scale.

Using the Steam Mop:

Most people still recommend that you’re going to want to vacuum as you would with any steam mop, but when it comes to using it, the body itself isn’t big and bulky. It’s easy to maneuver around your house, and you can fold the mop head up to store it. Like a professional cleaner, you get a steam mop that allows you to clean up to 22 feet away with the cord, which is long enough to literally reach just about anywhere. Another great benefit is that the mop’s head itself is also completely removable with just the push of a button, and then you can swap in another rag after positioning it across the cleaning pad.

What About Controls? Does it Get Hot Enough?

These are very common questions, and the controls on this steam pocket mop are extremely easy to use, but at the same time you’ll be able to control the steam, the flow. The only downside that one might not like is that there is no power switch, but you can literally just adjust the flow to low medium or high. The good thing though is that it heats up within 30 seconds so you can literally start cleaning almost immediately after plugging the product in. It makes it ideal to clean a kitchen hotel also. 

What About the Specs?

At less than 6 pounds, the 1200-Watt boiler allows you to fill and heat a 350 ml reservoir so you can literally steam clean for about 20 minutes at a time, which is usually ample time to clean your floor in a room. The pad itself is washable and double-sided so you can literally flip it over after being halfway through a room, then interchange the pad to another one. That means it provides the power of some industrial cleaners out there while still being affordable for the home.

Conclusion:

So why does this product rate at a 9? Well, for being so easy to use that even a teenager (I wouldn’t recommend teaching a child to use anything that could hurt them), the Shark Genus Steam Pocket Mop is one that can literally be used by anyone, and it’s easy to learn how to use. Some people don’t like how small the reservoir is, but this would make the product heavier overall, and possibly bulkier.
