This vacuum’s steam feature still confuses me a bit because it doesn’t seem like its actually steaming, moreso just applying water and mopping. Anywhere i touched afterwards was cold, which wasn’t the case with my old floor steamer. I gave it time to warm up but this didn’t seem to make a difference. I can’t say that it doesn’t clean the floors this way though — it’s nice to be able to vacuum and clean the floors at the same time. I don’t use the cleaning agents it came with and instead fill it with a water and white vinegar mix, and this keeps my floors looking great. I’ve used it on￼ both carpet and laminate and it can easily keep both clean, though I find the “steam” feature especially useful for the laminate flooring.
