Vax S7 Steam Mop Review → Good Value for Money

The Vax S7 Steam Mop is a 2 in 1 steam cleaner, which means it can solve all your cleaning needs in one go.

It has a steam mop which cleans hard floors and refreshes carpets.

You then transform it into handheld steamer, which together with the tools provided can tackle the remaining surfaces in your home.

The Vax S7 Steam Mop works well as a steam mop and can also be converted into a hand held cleaner.

Vax S7 Steam Mop Description and Features

The Vax S7 Steam Mop came by next day delivery. I found it easy to assemble.

After assembling, I used it on lino in the kitchen and after going over the lino several times, it got rid of some old stains.

I then attached the carpet guider and used it in the front room and it managed to remove some stains from the carpet after going over the same area a couple of times.

I still need to clean around floor edges and manually in corners. The Vax S7 Steam Mop  does cut down on cleaning time. It leaves floors only slightly damp but it dried very quickly.

After I had finished I removed the pads. The pads are machine washable and I therefore put them straight into the washing machine. After washing them, I left the pads to dry flat to avoid shrinking them.

Meanwhile I converted the steam mop to a handheld mop this was a little difficult to do. The handheld does with lots of attachments enabling it to be able to steam clean a variety of surfaces. I tried the hand held out on some windows, which came up, nice and shiny.

I then tried using it on some bathroom tiles and cleaned these after several passes.

Vax S7 Steam Mop Performance

What I like about the Vax S7 Steam Mop

Compact and easy to assemble. The handheld is lightweight at only 2.74 kg. Comes with a shoulder strap for extra comfort.

Easy to fill the water tank. The Vax S7 Steam Mop  admits steam only when you engage the button.

This allows you to control where and how much steam produced. Which means the floor does not over saturate with water.

It warms up quickly. The attachments work well and are of a good quality.

The Vax S7 Steam Mop  has an extra long power cord. Which at 8 metres long is the maximum length found on any steam mop.

The Vax S7 Steam Mop  performs well cleaning floors, which dried quickly after use.

What I dislike about the Vax S7 Steam Mop

The clips are a bit stiff when converting from the steam mop to a  hand held steam cleaner.  OK once you got the hang of it. The water tank is small and so runs out quickly.  But you do get to least 12 minutes of continuous steam.

Summary of Review

This is a good value mop to buy.  it has a satisfactory performance both as as steam mop and hand held steam cleaner.  You can check out further the Vax S7 Steam Mop at Amazon.
