How to choose
Steam levels and temperature
Steam levels change how much steam reaches the floor. The Schenley and the Shark each offer 3 levels or modes, while the ScrubWiz offers 2 steam levels. Temperature also differs: the Schenley and the ScrubWiz reach 248°F, while the Dreame reaches 212°F. Match the level and temperature to the surface and the mess, and check the surface list for each pick before choosing.
Tank size and runtime
Tank size sets the refill frequency. The Shark holds 12.85 fluid ounces, the BISSELL tank volume is 11.8 fluid ounces, and the Schenley holds 8.5 fluid ounces, while the ScrubWiz and the Dreame each hold 350 ml. The Schenley lists up to 25 minutes of continuous steam. If you clean large areas in one pass, a larger tank and a longer runtime reduce stops for refills.
Attachments and handheld use
Attachments decide what else a mop can clean beyond floors. The BISSELL includes 26 attachments, the Schenley 14, the Dreame 13, the ScrubWiz 10 pieces, and the Shark 4 specialized tools. Every pick here detaches into a handheld form or includes a handheld steamer, so check the tool list for windows, grout, grills, upholstery and cars before you buy.
