Rank #4 in Best Steam Mop 2026: 10 Ranked, and What 10-in-1 Really Means
Vileda Steam Mop Plus, 400ml Tank, 6m Cord, Triangular Head
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Vileda Steam Mop Plus is the fastest to heat in this ranking: the listing quotes a 15 second heat-up against the 30 seconds most rivals state, with 1550 watts, a 400 millilitre tank, steam control and a triangular head, detachable, at 2.1 kilograms, in the Steam Mop Plus model line.
The triangular head is the shape choice that matters for corners and along skirting boards, where a rectangular mop head simply cannot reach. The listing also advises distilled water in hard-water areas, which is worth following on any steam appliance. At the time of collection it carried 1,656 ratings at 4.4 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I really like this steam mop. The triangular head works particularly well in our house because it gets right into corners more easily than some of the rectangular steam mops I’ve used before.It is also very light to push around, so moving it across the floor and changing direction takes very little effort. I found it very easy to manoeuvre around furniture as well.I’ve used it to refresh the carpets in my house and it really has made a difference. They looked brighter afterwards and I liked being able to give them a clean with hot steam as well.I particularly like cleaning with steam. I know I’m not literally sterilising the floor, but seeing the hot steam coming through does make the whole process feel much more thorough.Using this steam mop has been a really positive experience for me. I have a shoulder injury, so the fact that it is so light has made cleaning much easier. I’ve also used it to clean my shower tray, where the triangular head works brilliantly around the edges and into the corners and makes light work of cleaning it.I’m really impressed with how well it has worked in different parts of the house. It has made cleaning easier for me, my floors and carpets have looked noticeably fresher after using it, and that triangular head has turned out to be far more useful than I expected.”
Verified purchase“I’m really pleased with the Vileda Steam Mop Steam Plus. It’s extremely easy to use and was ready to go within minutes of taking it out of the box. The water heats up quickly and the mop glides easily across my porcelain tiles without feeling heavy.The vilest steam mop does exactly what it’s meant to do. Floors are cleaned easily with no streaks and no need for any cleaning products.Overall, it’s a practical steam mop that’s quick and easy to use. I’m very pleased with my purchase and would happily recommend it.”
