Most steam cleaners are built to do one job well, but the Hoover Steam Capsule 2in1 is a multi-functional tool: it’s a steam mop for keeping your floors in the best condition, but it’s also a handheld tool for spot cleaning, too. Using the large metal brush and the cleaner on maximum, I found the first parts of dirt were dislodged with ease. Extras include a curved nozzle, a round brush, a triangular brush, a small and large metal brush, a window squeegee, a microfibre cloth and a carpet glider. Very hygienic and environmentally friendly, this steam cleaner will kill up to 99%*of bacteria* without the use of chemicals.

But I considered practicalities like size, storage, accessories, build quality and value for money as well as its cleaning performance. But I found that if I scrubbed the cushion with a cloth straight afterwards the dirt lifted really well. The mop comes with the – of course – a mop, a carpet glider (to freshen up your carpets) and three mop attachments (which are soft cloths that sit on the end of the steam mop).
