Which steam mop to choose, what to look for

1. Power: determines the strength of the steam supply, the rate of heating of the water, the total time of continuous operation of the mop. For home cleaning, devices with a capacity of 1.2 to 1.7 kW... The more power the better!
2. Warm-up time: Indicates the rate at which the device is ready for operation after startup. The parameter directly depends on the power: 1.2 kW mops start to supply steam 45 seconds after switching on, mops with a power of more than 1.5 W - after 10-30 seconds.
3. Nozzles: can be round, rectangular and triangular. The latter is the most ergonomic, it is much easier to clean in corners and other hard-to-reach places with it. In addition to the main nozzle, the devices can be equipped with glass scrapers, furniture brushes, steamers, napkins for removing complex dirt, and plumbing cleaning steamers.
