Product Information

You can set the right steam temperature with electronic controls: Low for delicate surfaces such as parquet; Medium for tiles and vinyl; High for marble and stones.

Underneath, the tougher parts of dirt were harder to remove, and there’s a slight issue with the steam cleaner: after a good burst of steam, the Hoover Steam Capsule 2in1 reduces pressure and it takes a good 30 seconds or so for it to build up to max output again. After a fair go cleaning, the window looked much better but there were some stubborn spots that I couldn’t remove, and chemical cleaning or a more powerful steam cleaner would be needed. The main, rectangular floorhead is quite bulky and comes with two microfiber pads and a carpet glider. I found that it was best to use the small cloth for this job, although I had to set the steam level to low: on any other setting, it’s too easy to over saturate the cloth. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.Hoover Steam Capsule helps you to clean floors throughout your home, eliminating up to 99% of bacteria with no need for chemicals or detergents. Model numbers usually consist of a manner of letters and numbers, and may also include characters such as a slash (/) or a dash (-). Our kitchen floor looked cleaner than it ever has with a mop and we found the Hoover prevented the smears mops can sometimes leave behind.

If you want clean hard floors, sometimes a mop just isn’t good enough, simply spreading the dirt and bacteria around the floor. Our tests showed the Hoover worked particularly well on hard floors thanks to a rectangular floorhead that covers large areas in no time. I chose to have this one, as I wanted it as sturdy as possible as our kitchen is pretty big and the whole downstairs bar the living room is filled with tile.

You can steam clean your bathroom, kitchen and beyond, thanks to the handheld, hose and accessories included. We compare the performance of every model we test and give low marks to those that leave lots of water behind after use. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. To use this part, you can either connect the conic tool to the tip of the handheld unit or you can, first, connect the flexible hose, then connect the conic tool.

But as a result controls – the power button and a sliding control that selects between three steam levels – are hard to reach at the back. Tools simply rotate clockwise until locked into place, while there’s a foot pedal to secure floor brushes. There’s plenty of power in the system to remove built-up dirt and mould, but it can take a while to clean an entire bathroom. Hard surfaces – Excellent steam pressure and a combination of the microfibre cloth and brush make it easy to deal with all types of hard floor. All our Vax steam cleaners come with a detachable hand-held unit and additional steam tools, to help clean not only floors, but ovens, grouting and counter tops as well.Sliding the mop back and forth, the dirt came out easily: a proper carpet cleaner is needed for a deep clean to get right into the fibres, but for quick maintenance, the Hoover Steam Capsule 2in1 does a good job. It’s a tall and thin stick (1170 x 305 x 176mm), that can stand up by itself, and has a handy cable to wrap the 7m power cable around. Like all steam cleaners, this looks like a cross between a slim vacuum and a mop, and comes in an inoffensive dark grey with teal accents. If you’ve got a small amount of hard floor to deal with and think of the Hoover Steam Capsule 2in1 as a maintenance cleaner, then it makes sense.

Results were impressive, with the floor drying quickly and streak-free, with the surface dirt coming off easily.

The mop is really light and glides across the hard floor and cleans really well, getting up stubborn stains with ease – and for any that are a little tricky, I would recommend just holding the steam over it for a short time to loosen off the dirt. Variable steam - set the right temrature with electronic controls: Low for delicate surfaces such as parquet; Medium for tiles and vinyl; High for marble and stones. It is heavy to hold though, so we could only use it in short bursts rather than for a non-stop spring clean. You also soon realise that it comes with a steam hose and a number of accessories, such as brushes and cloths, but no means of carrying them or even storing them. The multi-use floor nozzle allows you to mop hard floors, then covert instantly into a scrubbing brush for tough stains.
