Russell Hobbs RHDSM4001 Poseidon Steam Mop Review

The Russell Hobbs Poseidon Steam Mop is a multi-purpose tool which transforms within seconds from a steam mop into a hand-held cleaning appliance. Therefore, not only can it mop hard floors such as laminate, hardwood, marble, tile and vinyl, it can also clean ovens, windows, mirrors, curtains and carpets as a hand-held device. And the best part is that this is achieved using steam only - no harsh cleaning chemicals are required. Perfect for allergy sufferers.

The Poseidon is capable of killing up to 99.9% of bacteria, but this of course depends on the exact environment. It has a number of accessories, the most notable of which are the crevice brush for small nooks and crannies, a scraper tool for tackling ground in dirt, and a glider attachment for cleaning curtains and carpets. The mop has a 30 second heat up time, and a full tank gives about 20 minutes of steam time.
