Everything about the H2O Mop X5 steam mop

Nowadays, it is difficult to surprise someone with "smart technology." And now, it seems, the turn has reached such trivial cleaning devices as a mop. Let's try to understand what the steam mop H2O Mop X5 compares favorably with the usual, and also analyze its main advantages, disadvantages and compare with similar models.

Appearance and equipment

First of all, I want to note design and ergonomics. The steam mop comes in three colors: green, red and black. Plastic glossy, easily deformable. The country of manufacture is China. Due to temperature fluctuations and daily use, such material can quickly become unusable.

H2O steam mop grade:

1. The power cord is long enough, but you will most likely have to use an extension cord.
2. A set of nozzles.It has everything you need for a full cleaning, small, wide, thin and elongated nozzles.
3. A pen. Also included in the package. It allows you to improve girth, due to which during the cleaning it is necessary to make less effort.
4. Plastic fasteners.
5. Synthetic suede rags (based on microfiber). Perfectly suitable for "finishing" wiping after wet cleaning, ideally absorb the smallest droplets of moisture and do not leave streaks on the glass and any smooth surface.
6. Instructions. Russified and provided with photographs and detailed explanations. To understand it is not difficult.

Key features and applications

Let's try to figure out what this gadget can do. The manufacturer stated 10 functionswhich, according to their assurances, a steam mop will cope with ease:

1. Cleaning (washing) floors. This is a basic function, without which it is difficult to imagine any mop. It should be noted that the model copes with it remarkably, as its closest analogue is the steam mop H2O Mop X6. Using the washing mode every day is convenient and easy. The design of a mop considerably facilitates operation, after all to lean now practically it is not necessary.In contrast to the “old-style car wash”, the device does not leave stains, and this gives the room a more aesthetic and cozy look.
2. Carpet cleaning (and other fleecy surfaces). For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that, to begin with, it would still be nice to use a vacuum cleaner to collect the main dust, and only then resort to using a steam mop. Users note that carpets are best cleaned at 4th power level (the most powerful). Deep cleaning takes place, after which the pile remains fresh and clean.
3. Upholstered furniture cleaning. Very useful option, especially if the family has a small child or pets. The H2O Mop X6 steam mop (like X5) perfectly absorbs wool and other contaminants using a functional brush nozzle.
4. Household plant cleaning (colors). It is no secret that home plants attract dust, and themselves to some extent produce garbage (dry leaves, withered buds, etc.). To do this, you can use the weakest, 1st mode. You should not bring the mop too close, as the dust may not settle, despite the fact that moisture will occur. Gentle and sensitive to the effects of plants is better to wipe differently, because you can damage them.
5. Opportunity iron the curtains. H2O Mop X6 steam mop copes with this task rather mediocre, however, like the entire model range.
6. Stripping clothes. It is possible to steam off clothes and curtains with a mop, of course, but this is not very convenient.
7. Cleaning nozzles penetrate inaccessible angles and are able to effectively remove plaque (for example, from a tile). One of the nozzles available in the kit has a narrow neck, which makes the jet of steam narrowly focused. Theoretically, this allows you to get into the most inaccessible places, for example, behind a sofa or clean the joints, where the furniture is adjacent to the kitchen tile. A strong jet of moisture pushes dirt away with a powerful pressure, however, because of the rather large dimensions of the device itself, it is not always convenient to use this option.
8. Cleaning of mirror surfaces and glasses. The H2O Mop X12 steam mop best copes with this task, however, the X5 and X6 series models do not lag behind their “elder sister”. Glasses and windows are perfectly cleaned, however, after using a mop it is still necessary to wipe the clean surface with a dry cloth to avoid the formation of stains.
9. Disinfection. Many users say that a steam mop is convenient to disinfect certain things (toys with a flat and relatively smooth surface).You can disinfect things that are difficult to wash in another way, and be sure that they will be clean.
10. Pest control. Insects are very difficult to remove, as a rule, for this purpose a whole complex of cleaning measures is undertaken. A question may arise: how can a mop help, even if a steam one, in pest control? Daily steam cleaning of the bed will help to get rid of annoying pests much faster.

The manufacturer claims that the device will serve the owner for at least a year, but is it really so? Very often the thermostat fails. In this case, if the warranty period has not yet expired, the device must be replaced, repair in this case is inappropriate, since it is a complex technical product that works with water. In the event of a leak, a steam mop may begin to "beat" with current.

Exploitation

The main part of the steam mop consists of a control unit and a water tank. After turning on the network, pour the liquid up to the top mark and press the power button. The indicator will turn red, which means that the device warms the water. As soon as the color of the LED changes to green, the device is ready for use.

On the control unit there is only one button and one power regulator that operates in 4 positions: from the weakest to the most powerful. In the process of cleaning, you can change the nozzles, after turning off the device.

An important feature is the elevated temperature at which the steam mop operates. If the cleaning has been delayed, allow the machine to cool down so that it does not overheat.

In addition to the X5 and X6 series, the H2O Mop Ultra steam mop is also included in the product line. By and large, it is not much different from analogs. In some cases, under this name is sold regular X5, however, this feature is rarely paid attention.

pros. H2O is distinguished by a favorable price, so those who want to try the daily steam cleaning decide to start with a more affordable model than go straight to the expensive ones. At a cost of 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles. The device has all the necessary basic characteristics inherent in this type of device.

Minuses. An unpleasant feature for owners can be overheating, which many have encountered. This problem is largely due to the design features of the mop, and to solve it without special skills and knowledge is unlikely to work.

Reviews

Feedback on this model is very controversial. We give examples.

Conclusion

In general, despite a number of non-critical flaws, the H2O Mop steam mop is well suited for everyday use.. A number of its characteristics require refinement and revision, some opportunities are not implemented at the proper level, but all the “roughness” evens out the affordable price, which is compared to the analogues offered by competitors.
