This versatile steam cleaner gets top marks from us for ease of use, and it can clean various flooring and surfaces, including tiles, carpet, laminate and stone. It heats up in 25 seconds, giving you 15 minutes of continued use.• Power: 1300W.• Size: 22.2 x 35 x 117 cm.• Heats up in just 25 seconds. • 5m cord.**Tried and tested review:**I couldn't believe how easy this was to set up and get running, I only needed to glance at the instructions - it's very straightforward. It holds plenty of water and detergent and despite an advertised 15 minutes continuous use, I found that it lasted for longer. It cleans tiles and laminate floor perfectly and is really lightweight. I didn't find it was as effective on carpet as it could've been, but with a pre-treatment applied beforehand, it would yield better results. The handle also became a bit uncomfortable after a while, so this is something to bear in mind. Overall, really happy with this steam cleaner - especially for the price.
