You'll have to let us know how that works out for you.

I had a "steam" mop several years ago that was more hot water than steam and it didn't do that great a job despite making my power meter spin.

Hopefully, newer models will work better and be more efficient. While I greatly appreciate not using harsh chemicals to clean, 1600-2000 watts is a huge power load (especially if you're off-grid). It would only be worth it if the appliance really did an awesome job.

Have only used it so far on the laminate and tiled floors.. does a good job without streaks or chemicals.. but the water tank to me seems small and has to be filled a couple of times for my small flat.. also great for freshening rugs... will report back on wall tiles and oven later..

I love my Secura steam mop(cheap Amazon product). I use to clean the tile in the kitchen, bathrooms, the hardwood in the dining room, living room, hallway, and I use the included plastic glider to steam the carpets. I rinse and wring out the terry cloth bonnet after use and it's pretty amazing how much dirt the steam mop collects.
