Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Lightweight and easy to use throughout the house.
The swivel handle moves easily backwards and forwards and from side to side.
Shark Steam Pocket Mop unrivalled in its field of cleaning tough grime surfaces and light vapour has done well for natural ways to clean and disinfect your home without any anguish.
The handle rotates well, but the head of the unit does not turn as sharply as I would have liked to see.
This steam mop from Shark is advertised to “deep-clean and sanitize sealed hard floors,” which include wood, tile, linoleum and vinyl floors.
It’s easy to refile, move and reach to different spots of the house, under the furniture.
Swivel this cleaning body and clean your household from its corners to the smallest spaces in-between-furniture without spending the same amount of time and energy you use when you mop the traditional way.

What experts didn't like

A few reports of faulty units that fail to produce steam.
It was the absolute worst on the spaghetti sauce, taking more than three times as many passes to clean compared to our top pick.
It creates some clatter of clicking noise during the mopping.
Unlike most steam mops we have tested, the Shark Pocket requires manual steam production.
Grout may be difficult to clean.
It doesn’t come with an on-off switch so actually, you can’t control the start or finishing steaming by yourself as an individual.
The mop’s double-sided cleaning pad might require a little effort when attaching it to the head.
