Vacuum & Mop Appliance That Are Worth Buying? 

which cleaning equipment do you like most? 😁

Love how you discuss the pros and cons, and get straight to the point!

Never thought of steam mop. Thanks for tips, as a pet owner. Would definitely try this

Bought the Tineco S3. Worth it. No more back pain from manual mopping and saves me a lot of time. Cleaning the equipment is relatively easy too.

So rare to see a SG based tech RU-vidr. Subscribed!

Dear alex, thank you for your thoughtful and elaborated comparison between mop/vaccum thingy. i just got myself a black + decker steam mop and my life is changed after 2 rounds with steam mopping my kitchen area. Never thought they are so dirty! The steam really agitate all the oil and dirt from kitchen floor especially my wet kitchen. My kitchen floor now feels squeaky clean!

Perfect home cleaning set up involve the following 1. Narwal mopping robot (daily maintenance) 2. Ecovacs vacuuming robot (daily maintenance) 3. Tineco S3 (weekly adhoc cleaning) 4. Dyson V10 (weekly adhoc vacuuming)

I have the shark Apex as my go to vacuum, and love it -also have a streamer for kitchen etc, and I'm buying a wireless mop vacume this week. As a fellow clean freak I recommend getting a Purifier, don't get a cheap ones get the high end ones. Stay safe out there.

I been using the Deerma one for last 8 months n I quite like it..yes the cord is short n water droplets can accumulate..however I use intermittent pulses of the steam n it's works well..especially for its affordable price.

I use a Ecovacs T8 AIVI robot vacuum daily, also for infrequent mopping. The mop function isn't great (could be marginally better because it vibrates) but because it's done so often, it actually picks up little dirt each time and I find it effective. I also set cleaning cycle to prioritize areas and start with key rooms so those are always clean. To supplement, I use a handheld vacuum (dyson), and manual mopping/cleaning with magiclean products. Also have a industrial wet/dry vacuum as standby since have to use for air-con servicing or larger works - I was looking into battery powered for this (e.g. bosch) but got one yet. Dyson is still my brand of choice for handheld vacuum as it's good, lasts super long (I still have 8-12 year old models working great), and 3rd party battery or accessories are easy to get. Other brands worked ok for me but just had to replace sooner especially for battery. Steam mop idea looks interesting but it still doesn't solve general surface cleaning (i.e. non hard floor) or persistent stains.

I still have my Rainbow that I bought 10 years ago and it's still one of the best cleaning, environmentally friendly and versatile vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. I bought a Dyson V11 thinking that it would be a good supplement to it (for fast cleaning) and it was but it definitely does not clean as well as the Dyson or any of the others I've tried. I recently wanted to get a wet/vac for mopping and also noticed that theTineco had the same Rainbow Hepa concept. After doing some research though, I noticed that people love it when they first buy and use it, but they say that they generally don't last very long. With it's 2 year warranty and their lack of communication with their customers who want to get theirs repaired, it has made me very hesitant about buying it. I suppose that once you own a vacuum cleaner that can last 10 years, it's much harder to tolerate buying expensive cleaning tech that threatens to die within 2 years. I wonder how yours is doing though so I'm going to check out your other videos in hopes that you give us an update on your experience with your Tineco. Be well and thanks for giving us your thoughts on these!

Now I’m thinking of getting a steam mop too.. great video!

Thank you Alex 🙏 Keep creating more contents like it💪 I believe alot of young couples nowadays will benefit from your videos! Thumbs up👍

Very detailed info on the comparison. Just what i needed to help me decide on my purchase between Deerma vs Black and Decker steam mop as i was thinking Deerma has 5 in 1 purposes and seems more affordable. I am also thinking about the after sales service so i think i will opt for Black and Decker instead. Thanks for this! 😁. Nice home btw

My goodness! Have been watching your videos and I was looking for videos about cordless vacuum and just before I press on the search bar this video is just right there, updated 6 hours ago! Thanks for sharing this!

I absolutely agree with your endorsement of the steam mop. I am using the exact same Black & Decker model as yours and also bought one for my parents after a friend’s parent had a bad fall while mopping with a conventional mop+pail setup ☹️ The steam mop is not only safer (because steam evaporates very quickly - so the floor won’t be left slippery), it also also clears stains and sticky-feeling floor almost effortlessly. This particularmodel is no longer being sold - I heard that the newer equivalent model can no longer be left to “stand” without support. Also, thank you for comparing against the Deerma. Aside from having a much shorter power cord, it also has a smaller container for water - which means you not only need to unplug it often but top up the water often too! That would be a deal breaker for me 😅😅

Exactly what I am looking for. I have 2 cats and a toddler, a robot cleaning and a tradition vacuum (which I find exhausted everytime I use). I'm thinking about buying a steam mop lately and accidentally see your review => subscribed!

Great video. Totally agree with you about the robots that mop. As you said, it's essentially dragging a soiled cloth across the floor. :) I got rid of mine after 1 month! However, the ones which spray a mist of water and suck the water back are quite effective. Am currently using a Hizero, which is quite effective.

My wife and I are an older couple and prefer light weight cleaning machines. We purchased a Tineco A11 cordless vac one year ago and are very happy with it. We liked it so much that we gave one to friends as a wedding present. We looked for a cordless floor mop and found the Tineco iFloor 3. Since we liked our A11 so much, we bought it. It cleans floors quickly and easily and are very very happy with it as well. One thing, though. We found that if we washed the floors without first vacuuming, lint would build up inside of the waste water tank and require a self-clean. When we first started using it, we found that we would have to self-clean a few times. This required emptying the dirty water tank, adding water to the clean water tank, and letting run through its cleaning cycle. It became annoying to have to do this in the middle of "mopping." The solution to this was to first vacuum with the Tineco vac, then use the iFloor. Problem solved!

the Steam mop looks good. I am currently using Xiaomi handheld electric mop. cordless and the movement of the mopping cloth gives a polishing effect to the floor. effortless to use as it doubles the effort of the mopping motion.

I enjoyed the video. Factual, to the point and no annoying music in background

Great video for a dude like me who is clueless on all these housekeeping appliances 👍

Today is 6.6 and wanted to get a hand-held vacuum cleaner for a really long time. I am a working mom but cook my meals, so badly need effective cleaning equipment to save me some time. Chance upon your video and love your simple, practical and clear presentation. I think I should go with a vacuum + mop cleaner. However, my budget is $400 and below. So the Tineco is beyond my budget and it looks quite bulky, charging station takes up some space.

Thanks again for the giftaway last week and honoured that I was fortunate enough to be one of the winners!! 😊 I personally use the Airbot handheld vacuum as it was only $80. I find that with 2 different suction modes and about 3 additional attachments it was more than enough for my usage at a very cheap price as well! Have never heard of a steam mop before but your video has really opened my eyes to this wonderful piece of technology! I think I have to get one for myself in the future now hahahaha! Thanks again Alex for the great sharing!

Super helpful review! I was looking into buying the Deerma steam mop because the cord is attached to the handle instead of closer to the mop head as in the case of the Black and Decker. That seemed a little less intrusive and better designed. I'm surprised at the difference in the length of the two power cords since both Deerma and Black and Decker state that their respective cords are both 4 meters.

I find that I need all, robot (having it), steam, and 2 in 1 handheld vacuum for my house... My house is big with small children and no maid available to help out.. I've been watching all kind of reviews, at last I could decide what I need to top up. Tq tq..

I m using the Xiaomi Deerma steam mop & I agree with u on it's quality but hey, for onli $80 I must say it is alot of mop for that price 👍.

Been using black n decker steam mop since forever really value for money purchase. 💰

I love ur channel , i was struggling with choosing steam mop for past one week . I quickly cancel my deerma steam mop Oder and go for B & D after watch your video . Thank you

Thank you for the review. I ordered Tineco, arriving next week. I'm currently using roomba ( it's dying after 8 years, so replacing with 2 irobots from different brand and cheaper, arriving next week). Miele canister vacuum ( 11 years old and still going strong), Miele upright ( going to get rid of it, too heavy and have no carpets left in my house) and two handheld, cordless dysons, one of them is dead after 4 years, another one is working. I like to have vacuums on both floors or I will avoid to vacuum as long as possible :D

Hi Alex, understand that steam mop is good and effective. May I know if it is suitable to weekly mopping on vinyl floorings? Some reviews on steam mop indicated that it is not ideal for vinyl or laminate flooring. Appreciate your comment. Thank you.

Thank you Alex. Your recommendation helped me to buy the right machine.

Lol this is all new to me. I'm from south Africa where a full time stay in domestic worker cleans your house for 180 dollars a month

thank u for this video! still using traditional mop n broom, this video came right when i was thinking of upgrading! thankusm!

Hello, thanks for this very honest review. I was about to buy the Xiaomi steam cleaner. I've been looking for reviews for it and so far the two that I watched were weird. The machine showed some issues (ex. have to wipe a number of times before a small stain is removed) but the reviewer still recommended it. Felt like they were doing it for the money than actually giving an honest review... So thank you for confirming my concerns and recommending the other products. Now I shall do some more research about the B&D steam cleaner... 🤣

The top robot cleaners allow you to schedule which rooms to clean and to self-clean the mop heads before going to the next room. Robot cleaning is for general maintenance only. Manually steam cleaning is the best, especially for the kitchen and bathrooms.

Thanks for addressing the mop attachment! Was considering to purchase a vacuum with mop system which cost $150 more than the one without. I will stick to the cheaper option👍

Mine are all manual! Hahaha.. that's why am doing homework on robo vacuum for daily maintenance (which am glad I kinda decided on one that you picked but I have place it as a can invest if got extra budget, else I intend to buy ecovacs deebot U2 or dibea GT200) and was only considering handheld vacuum mop for more intensive cleaning. Heard of steam mop n definitely aware of black+decker just didn't yet dive in for more info, so I am super glad to have gotten to watch your reno/smart home videos, and now with this, I think I will seriously consider steam mop... It's now which one...

Thank you for reviewing between derma n black n decker steam mop. Im in dilemma to choose 2 of them. So I'll choose black n decker based on your review. Thank youuuu 😘😘

Thank you! Almost buy the Deerma one, but thankfully I found your video first. I’m going to buy the Black+Decker now

I wish my hub is as clean as you 😔

Very informative and you always teach me something new. Plus you introduced alot of cool products I dont know about and other reviewers don't talk about. First time viewer who is now a subscriber!

I love my Bissell CrossWave... It has two tanks, so you never clean with dirty water.

Your review was very clear. Thank you for the valuable info.

Very helpful review. May I know where did you buy the black and decker?

Just discovered your channel when im looking into steam mops. Got the black & decker FSMH1300FX 6in1 as i prefer the main body to be at the top just like my cordless vacuum as it can reach deeper under cabinets and beds without the main body obstructing reach. My current set-up is my old trusted dyson v10 absolute and the new coming B&D thanks to your video! Keep up the good work! Love the look of your house especially the study room’s full window concept!

Thanks so much Alex...superb video review plus ur thoughts & recommendations. Quick & easy! Keep it up bro👍👍

what's more important is the length and not the width, thought I was watching wrong video

Very informative! Might really consider getting black + decker after your demonstration 😄

Thanks for yet another v informative video. Appreciate the way you express your thoughts & recommendation in a clear and succinct way. I’m currently using Dyson V8 Fluffy & recently bought the Roborock S6 Pure. I completely agree with you that robot vacuums are more suitable as a vacuum cleaner and not a mop. It is indeed not sufficient to clean the oilier areas such as the kitchen. Will definitely be getting a steam mop now! Thanks for that 👍🏻

Karcher steam mop is the beast. Removes everything from the most challenging of surfaces. Industrial strength but industrial cable management 🌀

Great review , I totally give my Tineco a thumbs up best mop I have ever owned

I am using the Karcher SC5. its v powerful.

Which mop is good then? Black. Decker?

Your steam mop looks the best. I want one now!

Re the new version bnd steam mop, what r pros n cons of using it ? Hot handle? Waiting time for steam production? I bought the deerma n very frustrated w it stopping every now n then More downtime than steam time

I'm using the same vacuum, love it.

Great video! Very informative, unbiased and practical opinions! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Alex, can you advise where I can get the dreame v11 handheld vacuum. The link don't seem to work. Thanks

Thanks for the sharing, it’s impressive. And nw Im thinking to get one of the vac+mop system. So which will u recommend, Tineco or Hizero?

Hi Alex! Tk u for yr detailed video! Can i ask if the steam.mop can vacuum or purely mop? Tks!

Nowadays I'm 101% sold whenever I hear "self-cleaning" 😏 Do you use the steamer function to clean your oven? I'm having a hard time cleaning my built in oven *headache*

I'm also a sucker in cleaning eqt and always on a lookout for a better one to make my life easier. I'm a clean freak, so tts explain. Currently using GTech cordless vacuum, Grunn steam mop and a nobrand rotating cordless mop. Haha

Thanks Alex for the the sharing. Did my search for the steam mop. The model which you have been using is no longer available, what a pity. Went on to buy the next available HSMC1300FX for less than $200. I must say that the floor is really clean after the 1st use

Thank you for this. I was considering buying a Tineco or Bissell vacuum mop. But I think I’ll look at the Black and Decker steam mop instead. I already have a Dyson stick vacuum so I think it’s a good combination.

Thank you so much for the review!! This is so useful! :)

Does it remove pet hair, spider webs & dust from mesh windows?? We usually use vacuum cleaner for these purposes. Can we replace Vacuum cleaner with this steam mop for cleaning the areas i mentioned above? I am confused whether to buy a vacuum cleaner or this steam mop. I can’t afford both, so need to choose either this or a vacuum cleaner. Kindly share your suggestions.

May I know what is the latest model for the black and decker's?

Thank so much for tips you support to watching video

Hi Alex, thank you for all these helpful and insightful videos. It really helps! Can I check if steam mop is good for use on vinyl flooring? I see that most sites doesn't recommend using steam mop against vinyl floors.

Very Malaysian or Singapore accent. Not a bad thing. Brings back memories of when I worked there.

what do you think about ROWENTA Clean&Steam Multi ? it combines both wet steam and vacuum cleaner, or may be there any analogues?

Mine is dreame v10.. I bought 1,5 years ago. Xiaomi really do great job..

using karcher steam mop. quite satisfied with it

Hi Alex, the steam mop looks amazing. Would you recommend it for carpet and parquet wood( natural wood ) flooring? Thanks

Steam mop is good for deep cleaning but it takes a bit more time and effort. BTW, Karcher is the beast in steam mop and they also have a 2-in1 vacuum + mop so that you only need to go one round instead of two in your house to clean. I have a Karcher SC4 and a normal spray mop and the after-cleaning effect of both is day and night. One advantage of using the steam mop is that you do not need any chemical in your cleaning as the steam is able to eradicate all grime and grease, so a steam mop is very ideal for households with very young kids. I'm curious on how you use the steam to clean your mirrors and glass. Besides the mirrors and glass, do you clean anything else using the steam? I find it too time-consuming to steam my shower screen for example, so I only use it for the floow. For the mirrors and glass, you only use the steam and the squeegee to clean? That is enough to do a squeaky-clean job? Thanks.

I am officially a fan!! Thanks a lot Alex and i'm on my way to get your cleaning equipment haha. Well done an informative video on the Tineco and other items.

Keep up with the good work! I like you are providing really great reviews on the products.

I've using an iRobot to vacumm clean the house and considering if I should get a Black n Decker stream mob so, thank you very much. 🙏🏼

Thank you. Very helpful. Your review help me narrow down options.

Thanks. You are very informative 👍🏾Really enjoy your videos.

Hi thanks for the review , just wanted to know if the black &decker steamer cagoule be there see for 30 min to 60 min at a stretch or we need to take beeaks to clean if the house is big

Wow i never knew the existence of electronic mop!

Uhh bice onbe Alex ... BUT would LOVE if you would try to make a Comparison between Bisell Hydrowave Pro , Kärcher FC 5 Plus and Bisell SpinWave ...PLEASE

Tineco or vacuum robot + b&d? Currently contemplating of buying either tineco or roidme eve plus. Don't have a vacuum robot yet. Mind to share your opinion?

I read that steam mopping will cause damage to the vinyl flooring. What is your take on this? From your video, seems like only your kitchen and bathrooms are tiles?

hizero so many moving parts to wash, including 2 residue and main trays , 2 brushes (one roller and one brush roller) . i prefer tineco, just self clean and only take out the dirty water tray. most impt no soaking of the rubber sponge of hizero. sponge after sometime, might fracture and shrink which add cost. Tineco fibre roller should last long time.

Wonderful video and very informative. Looks like the black & decker steam mob is a good choice. Where can I see a demo set? Thanks for uploading the video.

are you still using vacuum robot just for vacuuming? instead of using both vacuum & mopping function? the self cleaning function not good enough to clean the mopping pad?

Hi! Do you know if there are cordless steam mops? Thank you!

looking for steam mop and vacuum in JB

Hey Alex, thanks for making the videos, I learned so much watching a few of your home improvement videos this evening. Way to go! Not sure which one I wanna comment on coz all are great. : )

Thanks sharing.. Good info..

Hi Alex, thanks for sharing the video. Some noob qns. Does using a steam mop means you don't use any flooring cleaning detergents at all? How do you clean the mop pad? Quite keen on the black decker stream mop after viewing your video. Can it be used on vinyl flooring? Toilet tiles as well?

The Black and decker steam mop - which model is it? You mentioned a price point of $120? Pls share the model number pls.

Having trouble locating a local seller for the black and decker, specifically for the separate unit with hand held option to steam stove / oven etc aside from floor mop function. Any idea where to source for the later model?

Hi Alex, just saw this video you posted thought few months ago. Just wondering since your steam mop has been with you for some time, just wondering what is your go-to brand if one day the Black and Decker steam mop breaks down and beyond repair?

Hi Alex, can you list down the model of the steam mop. The current one in the video and the upgrade version that u recommend. thanks!

Your sofa very nice..can u share what model and where you buy

Wow really good..i want the last 2 tineco & steam mop but confuse as wanted to buy a philips or either a tefal vacuum mop.. pls help which is better?
