What reviewers report

  • Measured cleaning temperatures are lower than advertised.
  • Cannot clean effectively under very low furniture.
  • Sanitization claims for 99.9% bacteria/viruses are unconfirmed.
  • Primarily designed for hard floors, not suitable for carpets.

Related claims

  • Steam mode effectiveness on stubborn stains

    Steam mode significantly improved effectiveness against stubborn stains like dried mud and sugary soda, reducing passes needed compared to auto mode, although it didn't improve coffee stain removal.

  • Steam Provides Sanitization, Not Confirmed for Sterilization

    While steam helps sanitize floors, the reviewer cannot confirm if 80°C is effective for sterilization (killing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses) as 100°C is typically required for instant kill, and effectiveness depends on exposure time.

Recommendation

Independent lab testing needed to verify sanitization efficacy against specific pathogens.
