How to choose
Tank size and steam time
A bigger tank means fewer refills, but the number that matters is how long one tank lasts. The Mxnsewr runs up to 45 minutes from a 450 ml tank, the ScrubWiz up to 15 minutes from 320 ml, and the Schenley up to 37 minutes. Compare tank size with steam time, since a large tank with a short run time still stops your cleaning.
Heat-up time and steam modes
Heat-up time sets how soon you can start: the ScrubWiz heats in 10 seconds and the Mxnsewr in 20 seconds, while the Bissell warms up in 30 seconds. Steam modes set how much steam reaches the floor: the Bissell has High and Low, and the Schenley and Shark each have 3 modes. Pick the heat-up time you can live with, then check the modes match your floors.
Weight, cord and upkeep
Weight decides how easy a mop is to lift and push: the Schenley weighs 3 lb, the Mxnsewr 6.3 lb and the Shark 6.9 lb. Cord length decides how far you can go without switching outlets: the Mxnsewr has a 23 ft cord, the Schenley 16 ft and the ScrubWiz 13.12 ft. Washable pads keep upkeep simple: the ScrubWiz, Bissell and Schenley all include washable microfiber pads.
