How to choose
Heat-up time and steam levels
Heat-up time is the wait before steam starts, and a steam level sets how much steam the mop puts out. The LABIGO heats up in 10 seconds and the ACHTFACH in 15 seconds, while the Shark and the OLIXIS heat up in 30 seconds. The LABIGO and the ACHTFACH give 2 levels or modes, the OLIXIS gives 2 steam heat levels, and the BISSELL gives variable steam modes with an on-demand trigger. Pick the level for the floor in front of you: a low level for daily passes and a high level for stuck-on dirt.
Tank size, cord length and weight
Tank size sets how much floor you cover before a refill, cord length sets how far you reach from one outlet, and weight sets how the mop feels when you carry it between rooms. The LABIGO holds 350 ml and runs 12-15 minutes per fill, and the ACHTFACH holds 400 ml and runs up to 30 minutes per fill. The Shark cord runs 18 ft, the ACHTFACH cord runs 23 ft and the OLIXIS cord runs 16.4 ft, while the LABIGO cord runs 4 meters. The Shark weighs 4.6 lb, the BISSELL weighs 6.1 lb and the OLIXIS weighs 8.8 lb.
Pads, attachments and upkeep
Pads carry the dirt, so washable pads and spare pads keep the mop ready for the next pass. The Shark ships with 2 machine washable Dirt Grip pads, the ACHTFACH ships with 2 microfiber pads plus an extra set, and the OLIXIS ships with a mop pad. Attachments change what the mop can reach: the LABIGO box holds a carpet glider, brushes and nozzles, and the BISSELL box holds 26 attachments. After each pass, empty and refill only with water, and let pads dry before storage.
