Our Expert review of the Vax VRS26 Multi Lightweight Steam Mop
What would you use it for?
Cleaning with steam, simple as that really. Well no, not quite. Steam cleaners are an ideal alternative to using harsh chemicals. All the Vax Steam Mop uses is water, which is heated until it becomes steam and the temperature of the steam absolutely destroys almost all bacteria around the home on floors and surfaces.
What’s good about it?
The Vax VRS26 has 2 functions. It can be used as a steam mop or a handheld. Blitz the bacteria with variable steam control from hard floors then in a few simple steps the Vax then becomes a handheld for cleaning your kitchen counter top, taps, tiles, oven, windows and more. It’s also lightweight and comes with a 9 piece tool and accessory kit. You’ll be up and cleaning in no time as well. 30 seconds is all the Vax needs to get up to temperature.
Are there any drawbacks?
Surprisingly there are a few; even more so that Vax are one of the main names is domestic appliances such as these. You’ll always be slightly restricted where it can go because it requires mains power. Most steam mops tend to have a water tank around 400-450ml, so at 330ml the Vax water tank is on the smaller side. It also can’t be removed so has to be refilled using the supplied measuring jug.
Are there alternative products available?
The market is flooded with steam mops from different brands though Vax is one of the leaders in this particular area.
