Vileda Steam Mop Plus

Our verdict · The lightest, cheapest everyday mop, with fast heat-up and good corner reach for routine cleaning.

Buy it if

Weight, price and fast heat-up matter most and you want a triangular head that reaches corners for routine mopping.

Skip it if

You need maximum steam power for large tiled or stone areas or heavy stuck-on mess — its lighter output suits everyday cleaning, not deep scrubbing.

For routine everyday mopping on a budget, the Steam Mop Plus is hard to beat on the fundamentals: at 2.1 kg it is the lightest here, it heats up in around 15 seconds, and its triangular head reaches into corners better than the rectangular flip heads. Three adjustable steam settings cover delicate floors, carpets and tiles/vinyl, and it is rated for all hard-sealed floors like wood, tiles and laminate, with a carpet glider to refresh rugs too. The 400 ml tank gives roughly 28 minutes of runtime. The trade-off against the Shark S6003 is lower steam power and build refinement — reviewers describe corner performance as merely OK rather than class-leading — so it is a routine-cleaning tool rather than a deep scrubber. It includes two washable pads and carries a two-year guarantee.
