Vax S86-SF-CC Review

The Vax S86-SF-CC Steam Mop is a multifunction cleaning appliance, transforming between a steam mop, and a dynamic and versatile hand-held cleaner. The hand-held cleaner has numerous attachments, including a metal brush, a small and large plastic brush, a window tool, a scraper tool, a concentration tool, a detail nozzle, and more. The appliance is suitable for hard floors and surfaces, tiles, sinks, taps, windows, mirrors, hobs, etc.

One feature of particular note is the variable steam function which can be adjusted depending on the type of surface and dirt being cleaned. This mop can clean purely with steam, or with a mixture of steam and detergent. It comes with a 250ml bottle of detergent. The floor head has an angular design which allows it to fit into tight spaces, around corners/edges, etc.
