Water You Cleaning With?

Cleaning your hard floors can be kinda like making coffee. By which we mean: many would argue that some of the cheapest, simplest, most “analog” option counter-intuitively produces the best results.

For coffee, we’re talking pour-over. You can get a pretty glass Chemex for the price of a very basic little Mr. Coffee. A plastic Melitta? Won’t even crack $10. An Aeropress. A French press. A Bialetti pot–all of them will make a cup of coffee bursting with more flavor than you’ll find combing the sands of Hamilton Beach.

Likewise, an old-fashioned mop, a bucket, some warm water, and a little soap? It’ll clean your floor just as well, if not better, than this “Smart Mop.”

But let’s return to the coffee analogy, shall we?

You’ll notice something if you read closely, specifically the phrase: “cup of coffee bursting with more flavor…” In other words, these contraptions are great when you’re making coffee for you and a friend.

But when you’re hosting your three siblings, your parents, and a few members of your extended family for Easter brunch? Suddenly, you’re gonna need someone assigned to full-time barista duty, which is a pain.

Likewise, if you live in a 350-square-foot studio apartment, mopping once a week isn’t such a daunting task. Nor is it if you just need to do a quick once-over in the kitchen.

But when you live in a home with 1500+ square feet of hard floors, it pays to have a device where you can load up a canister with water and let it rip. Because it’s better to actually clean your floors to some degree than it is to think about cleaning your floors fully and then decide it’s not worth the effort.

And, to be clear, this thing will do a good job. It creates 50 PSI high-pressure 280-degree steam to clean floors without the need for chemicals. Plus, it comes with 12 attachments to handle whatever floors you have (including carpeted floors and rugs).

Seriously. 12 attachments. These ones:

Our point is, it’s thorough and it’s a bit easier (and let’s be honest, a bit more fun) than getting your basic old mop out.

So get one, and actually clean your floors for once.
