Our editorial team chose the products on this list based on actual customer reviews on a range of websites such Amazon Australia and Google Reviews. For each category, we carefully selected parameters based on our research and identified steam mops with the highest customer review score within those parameters.
For the best overall steam mop, our team selected the Bissell Powerfresh Deluxe as it has a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Amazon Australia from over 7,000 online customer reviews.
This highly effective mop does an amazing job of cleaning floors, destroying 99.99% of bacteria and germs when used as directed. And it's easy to operate, simply by pulling a trigger to release steam. Its swivel head allows you to clean in all those hard-to-reach areas. Plus, it comes with a SpotBOOST brush to clear away any stubborn grime or sticky dirt residues. And a measuring cup to accurately refill the water tank. Overall, a fantastic mop that gets the job done without the use of harsh chemicals or cleaning products.
For the best steam mop for tiled floors, we chose the Shark Steam Mop S1000 as it has a 4.5 out of 5 rating on Amazon Australia from nearly 2,000 online reviews.
This lightweight compact mop is able to clean and sanitise tiled floors with on-demand steam ready in 30 seconds. The sizeable water tank is removable and easy to refill while cleaning pads can be machine washed and reused.
Many online customers found this mop performed well, particularly on tiles. In fact, one customer in particular found that after using the mop, their tiles were not as yellow in colour as they'd previously appeared.
For the best mop to clean wooden floors, we selected the O-Cedar Microfibre Steam Mop as it has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon Australia from approximately 1,200 online reviews. It is also featured in the Finder steam mop buying guide.
This lightweight mop is particularly good for cleaning wood floors because of a microfibre mop head that instantly draws in dirt and bacteria. It also has a compact design, able to fit into those too-hard-to-clean spaces. It heats up in about 20 seconds and has an adjustable steam level, putting you in control of your cleaning. And when you've finished your timber floors, it also features a bonus attachment for spot cleaning the carpet.
Steam mops can range in price from about $50 through to $500. For the lower end of the scale we picked the Kmart 1300W Steam Mop as it retails for an excellent price at the bottom of the scale and has a 4.7 out of 5 rating from over 200 online reviews on the Kmart website.
This lightweight mop heats up in approximately 20 seconds. It features a 180-degree swivel head for hard-to-reach spots and a triangular design for getting into corners. It has a steam on/off button and works for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Plus, it has a carpet glider to clean and sanitise the tops of carpet.
Many online customers were thrilled with the price of this mop and while it is not the best quality you can buy, it's definitely good value for money and gets the job done.
For the best high-end steam mop we could not go past the Euroflex Vapour M4S Hybrid Steam Cleaner, a top-quality product with a rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews from approximately 30 online reviews.
Incredibly versatile, the Euroflex Vapour M4S draws on advanced technology to provide superior cleaning of all types of floors including tile, wood, carpet and laminate, as well as many other home surfaces like ceilings, windows and benchtops. Its in-built boiler and hot plate system quickly heat the water to create a continuous flow of steam that cleans without leaving excess wetness behind. Its powerful front jets remove dirt from floor edges and it has an attachment for refreshing carpets and rugs. It can also be refigured into a portable cleaner to clean benchtops, bathrooms and confined spaces.
For people with pets, we chose the Bissell 1977F Symphony Pet Vacuum and Steam Cleaner as it has a 4.2 out of 5 rating on Google Reviews.
With its unique design, this mop allows you to naturally sanitise your home by vacuuming up pet hair while steam cleaning your hard floors. And you can switch easily between functions so you can vacuum and steam clean either simultaneously or separately. Then afterwards, it allows you to empty the cleaner of pet hair and mess without getting your hands dirty.
Your home will be sparkling and clean, free of the mess that comes with owning pets. Yet without the use of harsh chemicals, it will also be completely safe and pet-friendly.
For the best cordless steam mop, our team selected the Bissell SpinWave Electric Mop as it has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from online customers across a range of websites including Harvey Norman, Catch and Bing Lee.
This mop is ideal for the gentle daily clean of hard floors and tiles, removing all sticky mess and grime. It comes with two sets of washable pads and features a swivel design, allowing you to get around furniture and into those hard-to-clean spots. But best of all, this mop relies on a lithium-ion battery for a cordless runtime of up to 20 minutes. This means you don't have to worry about the cord not reaching far enough, nor do you have to keep plugging and unplugging the mop to get the house clean.
Overall an effective yet highly convenient steam mop, that gets the job done in the easiest possible way.
