Rank #3 in Best Steam Mop 2026: 10 Ranked, and What 10-in-1 Really Means
Shark Automatic Steam Mop S8201UKCP with Steam Blaster, 8m Cord
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The S8201UKCP is the premium Shark here and the listing centres on its automatic scrubbing and the Steam Blaster: six gripping pads are named, along with a 350 millilitre capacity, corded operation and a 4.9 kilogram body measuring 37.8 by 21.7 by 120.7 centimetres, under model number S8201UKCP. A two-year manufacturer warranty is stated.
Six pads in the box is the practical figure: it means less time swapping and rinsing mid-clean than the single-pad machines lower down this list. It is also listed as number two in Steam Mops at the time of collection. It carried 1,098 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 1,098 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Sensational. Total gamer-changer for weekly home clean.I hadn’t mopped the floors in my apartment for weeks, maybe even months. This is because adding a mop and bucket task to the end of a 2-hour cleaning marathon on a weekly basis just wasn’t practical or realistic, so I would always leave it until the school holidays.This Shark electric steam mop is a life-saver. It made mopping the floors so effortless. Why did I not know about this sooner?!It takes seconds to warm up. The mop glides so easily, with hardly any physical effort other than directing it. It’s not too heavy so you don’t feel tired. It did a great job, my floor haven’t felt like this since I first moved in to my new home. I’ve walking around barefoot because the floors feel great. The whole thing felt like it only took 20 minutes to mop the entire flat.My other bragging points are that it’s not noisy. It doesn’t take up much storage space. Putting it together was a breeze. It came in a colour scheme that beautifully matched my home, well done on that design folks.The only tiny improvement is that it can’t get right in the corners.”
Verified purchase“The media could not be loaded. Effortless cleaning. Super easy to use and refill. Cable is plenty. One plug change for whole ground floor. Pads are effective scrubber for grained laminates and smooth. Glides over rugs too. Lays flat so goes under sofas and beds. Have a vax...this is way better as the dirtier pads show! Great value.”
