=Black and Decker FSM 1600 Steam Cleaner=
We brought this steam cleaner about 12 months ago from Amazon and paid £60 for it, previously we used the old mop and bucket, but after having the bathroom converted into a wet room, and the flooring replaced from carpet to like a lino, hygiene played a more important role.

=The Mop=
The mop was very easy to put together, there is a comprehensive instruction booklet with it, but it went together smoothly, the nest step was to fill it, and double check that the lid was on properly before any water got heated, but that is me being extra careful. The water capacity is 500ml and the heating time is 15 seconds. Although I only have the bathroom and kitchen that is not carpeted, I was expecting to need to refill the water tank up, but it did both rooms and there was still nearly ¾ tank of water left.

=The Filling Jug=
What did impress me with this model was that the filling jug neatly clips back onto the mop, so you won’t put it down and forget where you have put it.

=Different flooring=
Whether you have a tiled floor, wooden floor or lino, this mop does the lot; there is a dial on the front of the machine which you alter depending on the flooring that you are cleaning. The instruction booklet does go into more details.

=Timing=
On a full tank, the water lasts between 22 minutes and 40 minutes; this is dependent on the flooring that you clean.

=The machine=
The machine has a swivel head, so you can get into all the corners and work around the kitchen units, with ease.

=Weight=
2.5kg

=Length of the cable=
The length of the cable is 6 metres, and this is plenty long enough to get around the house without having to change sockets, which is good from the point of view you can get on with the job, bad side, you need to find another excuse for a coffee break!

=Finished results=
The bathroom, I was shocked at how dirty the floor was, even though it does get washed down regularly, with this cleaner it looked like it was first laid down, it took a couple of minutes to clean, quick to dry the floor, and was streak free. To clean the pad which is fully machine washable, there is a tag that you pull to release so that you do not have to touch it.

=Technical Information=
This is 99.9% germ remover, chemical free, and the mop element is fully machine washable.

=Would I recommend=
I would highly recommend this steamer, it actually makes cleaning a floor a pleasure, I appreciate that we only have the two rooms, but for anyone who has flooring fitted throughout the house this is a must for them.

=Price and Availability=
This model can be purchased by on Amazon and retails around £60.00
