The steam mop. My wife did not use it for several months, now she turned it on and does not work. I called the store and their supplier, but they no longer do this and could not prompt the service center either.

I try it myself. Mode of operation. You turn on the button with a red LED on the mode switch and the heater heats up (it works), then the temperature sensor is triggered and the green LED on the second button turns on (also works). I turn on this key and steam should go, but alas, there is no steam. Steam must be regulated by a regulator.

He took off the vibration pump, disassembled it, there were not large traces of dried liquid on the piston, removed it, collected it and tried to power the pump from the external cord, began to hum, but did not check it with water. The sound did not look like a working pump (when the mop was working, either there was no water, or its power supply in the mop was below 220 volts. steam and no. I checked the power supply to the pump, but the tester showed 0, maybe there is a pulse (although it is unlikely). Where did I not believe?

Review: Steam mop H2O Mop X5 - Easy to use without chemicals, gives the room cleanliness and freshness. (Many photos)

There are a lot of advertisements on TV now. One of them just made me stop in front of the TV screen. And not just once. Everything is shown very nicely and conveniently. I understand that this is an advertisement and it cannot be bad, but it stuck in my head. on the TV store the price of the H2O MOR X5 steam mop is 5,990 rubles. I really wanted to buy it, but the price, to be honest, bites. I had to browse the entire Internet and found a Chinese site, where the price was half as much, taking into account the delivery, 2100 rubles. It suited me perfectly and I made an order. The order came surprisingly quickly. There was no chapel for my joy. Now I will spend much less time on cleaning and all sorts of household chores. Someone will say China! But, it did not bother me at all. We have a lot of products from this particular country. China just fills our market. Their quality can be worthy, at least I am satisfied with the quality of my steam mop. For the entire time of use, she did not let me down. Everything is packed very neatly upon delivery. The box contains complete information. It can be of 3 colors. I chose the green one.

The Chinese never tire of surprising me. Everything is in bags, neatly laid out. We unpack the box.

everything is packed very neatly in bags

The good news is that the instructions are in Russian and quite complete. consists of 32 pages.

you will find very different information in it, from assembling a mop to troubleshooting a malfunction. This mop is for home use only. Its parameters for operation are 220-240 V, 50 / 60Hz, 1300W.

Consider the mop itself. It has a container for water (0.5L). It is very easy to fill in water, the hole is very convenient and large. You just turn the lid clockwise and it opens, just as easily closes. inside there is a hose for water intake.

For the bay there is such a plastic cup with a convenient pipe.

the mop vibrates when plugged in. the red lamp turns on. It is not ready to work, but after 20-30 seconds it lights up green and you can start.

there is also a steam regulator. select the desired mode. There are 4 of them.
1-low, 2-medium, 3-high, 4-heated spray.
1.2 mode is suitable for cleaning floor coverings (linoleum, ceramic tiles, marble, etc.)
3-optimal for carpet cleaning
4-for cleaning baths, kitchens, that is, dirty rooms.

When working with the H2O MOP X5 steam mop, never leave it unattended. Steam at a very high temperature is supplied when switched on. Do not put your hands or feet under the stream of steam. it is very easy to get burned. and if there are children, then be especially careful so that they do not accidentally burn themselves. Attachments are attached with help. release buttons. She is at the bottom. and there is also such a platform so that you can put the mop on the surface.

The cord is well insulated. Its length is 4.5 meters. The fork is strong and comfortable too.

This is how it looks and can be used.

now consider the attachments that the manufacturer provided us. These 2 attachments are attached to the mop with an extension. You can use one extension cord, but to be honest, it's not convenient, it's better with nozzles. These two brushes are attached to it. 1-soft, 2-copper. The soft one is suitable for cleaning the sink, toilet, kitchen. Metallic for rougher surfaces. Cleans pots, ovens and other utensils. This is how they look.

a nozzle is inserted into such a groove and fixed with a button. Steam is supplied through the hole.

There are nozzles for collecting dust and also for cleaning windows. Such attachments are put on them and they perform their functions well. The nozzle for cleaning windows has a rubber tip, which collects water from windows, it is also designed for steaming clothes.

These attachments are attached in this way. They are easy to put on and take off. They wash well and easily.

in total, here is how many nozzles are in the set.

These attachments are attached with an extension hose. This extension cord will help you reach many inaccessible places (for example, to the top shelf without using a stool). There is such a groove in the hose for attaching the attachments.

If we remove all the nozzles, that is, we do not use them and send a stream of steam into the riser, then we will be able to clean the pipes. To do so to speak prevention, so that there is no blockage of pipes.

for washing floors and carpets, the svatr should be lengthened. For this, there are two extension nozzles.

One nozzle is attached with these grooves. Very easy to gather and tear.

The second one is also attached with such a lock-button.

the mop is going to be assembled very quickly. that's how much we lengthened it. now it is very convenient to clean floors and carpets.

For floors and carpets, there is such a nozzle. Thanks to the ball-shaped attachment, the nozzle moves very easily in any direction and the handle can also be easily twisted as you like.

there is such a nozzle that is attached to the mop with Velcro.

To clean carpets, the mop is put on just such a nozzle. It allows for better glide on carpets and makes your work more comfortable.

after use it is necessary to descale the steam supply holes. The kit includes such a key. It easily enters the holes and should be turned to the right, left, up, down. Clean these holes well; the steam supply depends on it. If it is not possible to clean it with a wrench, then use a solution of 1/3 of the vinegar + 2/3 of water. Pour it into a container for water, let it stand for a little, and then just work out this solution into steam. repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the steam supply is satisfactory

She washes carpets and floors perfectly. however, before using the mops, you should vacuum them. You yourself understand that when you wash the floors, you constantly rinse the rag in water, steam is supplied here, but the nozzle cannot be washed and everything sticks to it.Or you have to constantly remove it and rinse it. It's easier for me to vacuum than to sweep with a broom. The broom kicks up dust, and this, I think, does not suit anyone. and besides, we have a cat and a rabbit in our house. there is enough wool. So it is with the carpet. She will not be able to collect all the trash. She steams the carpet more. after processing with a steam mop, it becomes soft and pleasant. it is pleasant to walk on it. I also liked how she steamed clothes. I haven't tried cleaning the windows yet, but I guess she won't let me down here either. Now let's check how she cleans and washes, thank God I have somewhere to check (repairs in the bathroom). everything in the advertisement was very nice. maybe I can do it. The door was slightly stained by the workers. The mop did it, though there and just a damp rag would take. for this you should not collect it. A rag is easier and faster.

there were stains on the tiles and it was impossible to wash them with a rag. oddly enough quickly coped. This is another plus for her.

let's see if she can wash the walls from the mortar after they removed the tiles. I can’t say that it’s very good. I still have to rub more with my hands, but the fact that the fiery steam is supplied helped me a little.

And the last thing. we have such a spot. let's see how she copes. To be honest, she ruined everything. the soft brush did not take anything at all, even with hot steam. But the copper brush also did not wash anything, but the enamel tore off. It is difficult to notice right away that it erases the enamel, since the steam supply is very good and you mainly see steam. I washed most of it with my hands. But, do not mind, change everything exactly to a new one.

From which we conclude that it does not remove old dirt after all. you just have to wash everything manually. Here advertising did not justify me.

So what do we do? all the same, she has more pluses than minuses. Although advertising has not fully justified itself, but mostly not bad. after all these procedures in the apartment you can feel freshness, cleanliness, I think that bacteria under the influence of steam are all killed. The apartment pleasantly surprises me. Even if you don't use this steam mop every day, it will be a good helper for general cleaning. And you really save time. I would rather recommend it than deny it. She is a necessary item of your home, like a vacuum cleaner, an iron. It also takes up very little storage space. For the price that I bought it, I never regretted my purchase for a minute. Successful shopping for you.

In our workshop carried out by a professional steam mop repair, steam generators, irons, steam stations and ironing systems.

If the steam mop breaks down, do not try repair it yourself.

It is more correct to take the failed device to the workshop so that it can be repaired by experienced professional craftsmen.

Steam mop repair produced only in the workshop. Our craftsmen repair steam mops H2O mop X5, H2O mop X6, etc. Mop repair cost different brands with similar breakdowns may vary. This is due to the design features of steam mops. In some cases, when repairing mops, it becomes necessary to replace broken parts.

The Multiservice repair shop concludes agreements with Moscow organizations for warranty and post-warranty service of steam stations, ironing systems, irons with a steam generator, steam mops for cash and non-cash payments.

The steam mop is a new cleaning method that is more efficient and much more hygienic than conventional methods. The steam mop achieves a high level of hygiene and increases cleaning power by converting water to steam and using a microfiber nozzle to enhance its absorbency. When in contact with flooring surfaces, it gets rid of dirt and dust in seconds.Since the steam mop uses active steam power without the use of detergents or soap, it has no negative impact on the environment.

Steam cleaning regularly can also help get rid of mites, certain types of bacteria, mildew and mildew.

When using this, like any other electrical appliance, it is imperative to follow basic precautions, including:

Rated voltage: 110

The Handheld Steam Cleaner is the ideal portable cleaner for use on countertops, sinks, windows, mirrors, tiles, and for removing stains from floors, carpets and woolen surfaces. Use a spray mop, copper or nylon brush to loosen dirt, grease, mildew and more.

A steam mop is a cross between a vacuum cleaner and a steam cleaner. Consider what it is, how it works and how it is good.

The manufacturers have tried their best, taking all the best from vacuum cleaners and mops. The result is an interesting design. What can be said about this adaptation?

Firstly, the device is quite light, weighs within 3 kilograms, which makes it easy to move it around the apartment.
Secondly, it runs on electricity, but consumes only 5 kW / hour.
Has a triangle-shaped base that can rotate 360 degrees.
Equipped with a handle, depending on the model, it can be adjusted in height or be one-piece.
The set includes several attachments designed for different coatings.
Equipped with a small water tank, into which you can fill the most ordinary water. When heated, the water begins to evaporate and spit out the generated steam, which is used to clean the floors.

The principle of operation of a steam mop allows not only to clean various surfaces with high quality, but also to remove stubborn odors and disinfect.

The equipment is equipped with a regulator of power and steam intensity, which allows you to wash the most difficult dirt without using any chemicals.

In the latest models, the steam generator can be disconnected from the mop itself and disinfected with it household appliances (for example, a stove, microwave oven) or the interior of the car.

Having learned what a steam mop is, you need to familiarize yourself with its merits. Why is it worth giving preference to her over a washing vacuum cleaner?

The device has a wide range of functions and additional capabilities.
It is convenient to use, as the rotating head allows you to clean even the most inaccessible places.
No need to use chemicals when cleaning, which makes it environmentally friendly. Plus, you can save on buying detergents.
Due to the fact that the steam temperature reaches 100 degrees, the surface is disinfected.
Great for cleaning plastic windows.

Steam mop set

The device made a lot of noise with its appearance. Some sing him praises, while others scold him up and down. The reason for this discrepancy is simple: you should not perceive the device as a miracle of technology. This is just a good invention, which has many advantages, but not without some disadvantages.

Unfortunately, exaggerated expectations do not come out of thin air. This is the fault of the advertisers, who greatly overpriced the device, introducing unrealistic parameters into the minds of buyers. Of course, serious discrepancies between expectations and reality will not please anyone. What were the PR people wrong about?

Advertising campaigns talked about the device's amazing ability to collect liquid. And that's a lie. Of course, the nozzle can absorb some amount of moisture, but very small, since the device simply has nowhere to put the accumulated liquid. There is no such option.
The second exaggeration is the ability of the device to collect all the dirt.But what is a mop compared to a vacuum cleaner? She can remove some amount of dust or debris, but there will still be debris that will collect around her or hide in the corner. Really high-quality cleaning is possible only if you first sweep away coarse dirt or vacuum the floor.
And the third misconception into which the buyers were introduced is the ability of the mop to remove any stains. Of course, if you spill juice or milk on the carpet, it will do its job. But stains from paint or brilliant green will be difficult to wipe off, only if you do not use cleaning agents.
And the last thing that the buyers were unhappy with was the unreliability of the design. True, this does not apply to branded models, we are talking about fakes with which the market is teeming.

If you decide to purchase a steam mop, then choose a model from a trusted manufacturer. It is more expensive, but it will also last you longer.

When choosing a steam mop, you should pay attention to parameters such as power, weight, operating time and steam temperature control. Below are the best models of steam mops according to customers.

The power of the device is 1,300 watts.
The mop weighs 2.2 kg. You will have to hold it in limbo with both hands.
It is equipped with a power regulator for working with different surfaces, which can be set to 4 different positions.

Its principle of operation is based on steam purification, which allows you to most effectively deal with pollution and kill germs. The important thing is that it is very simple to work with the device, and it can be used for almost any coating.

The manufacturers of this instrument promise that its use will greatly facilitate cleaning the house, will not only remove garbage, dust and dirt, but also disinfect the room and keep it clean and tidy for a long time.

Whether this is really so, you can find out only from those who have already purchased a steam mop. Moreover, now there are a large number of types of these products, and you can choose the type of steam mop that should not disappoint.

Lyudmila: “I finally received this long-awaited toy - a steam mop. I couldn't clean up over the weekend. But after a few days I decided to try it. What can I say about her, this the mop does not simplify the cleaning of the room, but on the contrary, it even complicates it. The steam mop is heavy but manoeuvrable enough. She also does not collect garbage, but simply cleans the floors. Therefore, before cleaning, you should first sweep and vacuum, and after you have washed the floors with a steam mop, collect garbage at the exit from the room. Also steam mop h2o mop leaves a damp footprint... The pluses include the fact that it washes well, humidifies the air, it is very convenient to clean the bathroom with the function of a steam generator, as well as to steam carpets. "
Vera: “The set for the mop includes 2-3 microfiber nozzles, which absorb well and are easy to wash, as well as a steam generator with a nozzle that provides neat cleaning... I want to say that if you have any problems with finances, a small apartment, then it is best to wash the apartment simply with hot water and gloves. If you can afford quite expensive equipment, want to take care of the health of your loved ones and do not want to use cleaning products when cleaning, worth getting a steam mop... If there are any claims to the product received, then you can return it according to warranty service. But I have not dared to return it yet, steam mop h2o mop I really liked".
Valentina: “I have already cleaned the apartment 2 times with the h2o mop steam mop. The second time, it was much easier to manage. Spouse appreciated smell after cleaning... It is very convenient to clean the toilet. I am very happy, so I recommend it to everyone. I can immediately answer a possible question about how often I change the rag and whether traces remain. I can say that I change rags in the middle of the apartment. If you do not vacuum well, you will have to use a rag to collect dust and dirt. But it's not difficult at all, so don't worry. "

Victoria: “Don't buy the x5 steam mop. All of its capabilities are unnecessarily exaggerated. After the purchase, it broke down for the 4th time, it just stopped turning on. I phoned the company and promised to replace everything. The main thing is that I did everything as written in the instructions. With the replacement in general, it turned out to be a long story. The part was replaced, but it did not fit exactly to my mop, water leaks during use. The new kit, which was brought in, turned out to be used and with broken parts. So I had to call and ask for a refund. After that, I decided not to mess with this mop anymore. "
Elena: "I bought myself a steam mop x5, but I was not happy about it for long, after 5 cleanings it broke down, and I don’t even know what to do with it now. ”
Sergey: “My pump in the steam mop has broken down, so I came to the conclusion that the x5 steam mop is a complete waste of money.”

Angelica: “I decided to order such a mop after the advertisement. Complete disappointment! All the negative reviews about these mops are true, just waste your money, so don't buy. "
Alla: “I saw an advertisement for steam mops on TV, unfortunately found only positive reviews on the Internet and decided to buy.The positive reviews were probably written by the sellers themselves. I decided to start using a steam mop, cleaning the joints between the tiles. To remove the dirt, it must be kept for 10 minutes. So to clean the entire apartment, the h2o x5 steam mop needs to be used for several hours... After a few days, the steam mop started to splatter. Now the floor must first be washed and then wiped with this mop to remove the remaining water. Cleaning turns out to be double. She does not clean carpets at all, and if you try to clean something with it, it clogs up and forms scale. Generally, the steam mop broke in the first month of use... I did not send it by mail, I was afraid that they would not return it. I decided to give it back for repair, but all the masters, as one said, was a one-time piece, and even made in China. I do not advise anyone to buy. "

Tatiana: “I saw an advertisement for a steam mop and decided to order it immediately through the website. But they said that they would deliver it only in a month. I decided to study all possible reviews on the Internet, talked with friends. Eventually decided to buy a simple steam generator... Moreover, there is a huge selection in terms of quality and price. Therefore, it is better to buy a steam generator first, and then make a decision on purchasing steam mops ”.

Oksana: “Last fall I ordered a mop x5 steam mop. I received the mop quickly, but it was missing one detail. I sent it back to have it replaced, but to this day it has not been returned to me. I spent almost as much money on calls as on the mop itself. "
Valeria: "Moph2ox5 washes only the floor, then it starts to flow. Doesn't wash, doesn't clean, doesn't iron, doesn't do anything that the seller promised. "
Olga: “I want to say right away, in no case should you buy this mop. The thing is useful, but its quality just leaves much to be desired. When I bought it for the second time, my steam mop shorted out and stopped working. The mop was changed six months later, at the weekend I decided to turn it on, but it broke again. So I threw it away, because it cannot be repaired, but for me a lesson for the future: no longer buy Chinese products. "

Valeria: “I have been using the h2o mop for almost a year now and I am very satisfied. Sometimes some people complain that the mop does not pick up wool and debris, but this is not a washing vacuum cleaner. I can't tell you how a steam mop cleans thick carpets, but carpet cleans wonderfully».
Irina: “The steam at the mop is cold even in hot mode, you can even bring your hand to the nozzle. The water, of course, hisses, gurgles, but if you run a mop over the surface and immediately touch it, the water will turn out to be cold. With such water, no viruses, bacteria, stains and dirt can be removed - all deception. "

Andrey: “Don't buy steam mops, they are made not in Europe, but in China, and the quality there, as you know, leaves much to be desired. So if you're saving your money, don't waste it on this much-hyped deception. "

It is up to you to decide whether to purchase such products as a steam mop, but it is worth listening to the feedback in order to make a truly informed decision and be ready for anything.

Dust, dirt, rust stains and greasy deposits, if handled correctly, will be cleaned by a steam mop, and it also disinfects without chemicals. If the family has children, animals and allergy sufferers, then such a device is irreplaceable.

Just before buying a steam mop, you need to understand something that it can really do, but something that is advertising chips to increase sales. Find out if your laminate flooring can be cleaned with a steam mop or is it only for certain surfaces and how to use it correctly.

The cleaning miracle consists of a steam generator with a handle, power cord and attachments. Her heart is a steam generator, it depends on it how convenient the device is.

The water in a special container is heated, the resulting steam is supplied under pressure. After turning on the appliance, wait from 30 seconds to 10 minutes for the water to heat up, it depends on the model.The larger the water tank, the less frequent interruptions will be required, but the large water tank will have to be moved around the room.

This is inconvenient if you also use the mop as a steam cleaner. It is convenient to take a jar of water with you, after the container is empty, wait for the mop to cool, and only then top up.

The longer the cord, the more convenient it is to clean, because if you turned off the steam mop from the outlet, you need to wait until it cools down and reheats, you can lose up to half an hour on this. For a two-room apartment, 5 meters is enough, for a three-room apartment - 7 or more, immediately take care of extension cords.

The main application of the steam mop is for cleaning floors; for this, rectangular or triangular nozzles with special microfiber rags are used. You can wash linoleum with a steam mop, but you cannot leave it in one place for more than 1 minute, otherwise the surface from prolonged contact with steam will lose color and become whitish. Such spots on linoleum will definitely not look.

Laminate flooring can only be steam washed if it is water-resistant and seams and locks are protected with a sealant, but even then, you should choose the gentlest setting. It is better to use a steam mop only to clean the laminate flooring, so it will last longer.

The parquet floor can be steam washed once, only gently and when absolutely necessary. From constant use, the varnish will become dull white, and the joints will darken. Beech or maple parquet flooring is deformed.

Carpets should be cleaned very carefully with a steam mop, it is best to check in a small area, as some high-synthetic carpets can deteriorate from contact with steam. In order to refresh the surface, remove odors and disinfect it, it is enough to spray it with steam. To clean the surface, you need to soften the dirt with steam, and then collect it together with moisture, not all models are capable of such cleaning.

The tile is perfectly cleaned with steam, especially in the joints. In case of heavy contamination after processing, it is necessary to additionally wipe it with a dry, clean cloth. In addition, fungus and yellow plaque can be easily removed from sinks, toilet bowls and bathtubs.

The steam will separate the dirt from the glass. But for effective cleaning of a really dirty surface, you need to either constantly rinse the microfiber cover or rinse off the dirt with an additional cloth together with the water, into which the steam turns. Otherwise, streaks will remain on the surface after drying.

A narrow jet of steam well pushes dirt out of narrow places, for example, a roller system of a wardrobe, which is difficult to clean, and the dust that accumulates there interferes with normal opening. If you put on an additional brush on a narrow nozzle, then even a very well-adhered plaque will lag behind. Batteries, stove, corners and crevices can be perfectly steam cleaned with this nozzle.

Removing odors and freshening upholstered furniture with a steam mop can only be done easily if the upholstery material is not synthetic. For the first application, it is better to check the tissue reaction in a not very noticeable place. Remember that steam is water and upholstered furniture will need to be dried.

It will not work to steam everything in a row, frank synthetics will shrink, thick fabrics will only get wet from prolonged exposure.
