Microfiber: Useful as a wet or dry mop, microfiber mops are one of the most popular mop styles on the market. They’re highly absorbent and can be machine washed, so they’re easy to clean, versatile, and good on a multitude of surfaces. When shopping for a small home you have less mess – but less storage space. For this we suggest the Henry Micro, which will do a great job while fitting snugly into small spaces. What’s a Numatic Henry? It might sound like a complex term regarding suction or energy efficiency, Numatic International are the manufacturers of the Henry. Incidentally, although known as Henry Hoovers, they aren’t Hoovers by brand.

Some people prefer the ability to wind the cable in and James allows you to do that. He also has a caddy in which he can nicely store away and attachments. A plugged cable means it is pretty easy to replace the mains cable. Flat mops: This is one of the most popular types of mop, with a flat head surface suitable for disposable or reusable pads. Flat mops, including dust mops like the popular Swiffer Sweeper, are usually best for small spaces and light spills and messes. They are also the most affordable type of mop.Ease of use: When testing steam mops, we noted how many passes it took to clean up a stain, working with the steam mop's various features and attachments. We considered each mop's overall ease of use, noting how clear the instructions were and how smooth the set-up process proved to be. Haven’t you always wanted a cleaner who could do pretty much everything? If so, George could be the man for you. Big green and friendly he’s great in the dry happy cleaning up spills, or scrubbing away stubborn stains. There is nothing he can’t handle. However, while it’s designed for the wet, this also excels in the dry. An impressive 15 litre storage capacity when dry makes it an ideal option for professional cleaners, but it is also light at only 7.1kgs and will be easy to get around the home. You would expect him to be cheaper than a regular Henry. Does extra storage space make up the extra in cost?

The Henry vacuum cleaner range covers a number of price points. The more expensive models, like the George, do more things than the models that don’t cost as much. Adversely, the cheapest Henry Vacuum is likely to be the original version. You would think that you paid less for less dustbin capacity (like what you get with the James, where you sacrifice dustbin space for storage) but this isn’t the case. What is a Class Rating? Steam mops: Steam mops are usually more expensive than other mops and use the disinfecting power of heat rather than harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions. The giant floor head is manoeuvrable enough to allow for cleaning right up to the edges and into the dirtiest nooks and crannies. We were thoroughly impressed with the PurSteam 10-in-1 Steam Mop in our testing and found it to be easy, efficient, and versatile. It heats up in just 17 seconds and can run for up to 25 minutes when the 12.8-ounce tank is filled completely. Along with having intuitive set up instructions, it has an adjustable dial that controls steam output. The water tank will also signal—via a vibration and beeping sound—when it has run out of water.

How does it feel to hold?

Along with its stellar mopping abilities, you can also expect consistent vacuuming without having to fight hair wrap on this vacuum's tiny brushes. During home testing, we were thrilled with this vacuum's performance and how it always accurately identified flooring surfaces—mopping when necessary and vacuuming when needed. And while this robot is almost entirely hands-off when operating, take note that you will have to clean the brushes after mopping to avoid dragging residue during future cleans. We think this small effort is more than reasonable given how well this robot performs overall. The most popular types of mops have different functions and features, and deciding on the best one for you can depend on a few factors, including your budget, lifestyle requirements, floor type, and the kinds of messes you regularly clean.

To keep your mop sanitary, clean the pad regularly, preferably after each use. Many of today's mop heads are machine-washable, which makes it easier to keep them clean. In our cleaning tests, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the mop was effective at cleaning up light to medium messes. For a spilled paprika test, we found the mop just moved the mess around rather than cleaned it. Since its original launch in the 1980s, the Henry vacuum range has been a staple of homes and offices. But as the range grows, which one is best for you? While the traditional Henry has an A class energy efficiency rating, other models don’t match it. The worst is actually the Harry, which has a C class energy efficiency rating. It is important because a higher consumption vacuum cleaner will use more, costing you more in power. They aren’t as environmentally friendly either, so if being E-friendly is important to you the basic Henry is the better model. Size & ShapeOver the years we’ve seen his family grow rapidly. We’ve since been introduced to Hetty, Charles, George and James, among others. They specialise in all sorts of jobs whether it’s clearing up troublesome pet hair or devouring spilled liquids. The storage is something you don’t realise you need from a vacuum cleaner. When you finally get it, you wonder how you lived without it all these years. Alas, there is no choice. All of the Henry vacuum cleaners in the range are floor vacuums. That just means that they don’t stand upright, and that they roll around on the floor on wheels. You drag the vacuum along behind you while you use the hose. Ip and Vieira agree that spin mops are the favorite mop type among cleaning experts for their convenient wringing feature, easy maintenance, reusability, and compatibility with most floor types. Ip and Peterson also recommend steam mops because they can clean and disinfect without harsh chemicals. “Steam mops offer ease of use and sanitize floors without chemicals, which is a big plus,” says Peterson. That said, it’s worth noting that some floors, like hardwood, are too sensitive for a steam mop. The Henry with the most versatility is probably the George. It cleans your curtains, cushions, carpets, hard floors, your car, your drains, and probably everything else in your life. Beyond that, the Henry vacuum cleaner range has a pet hair model, a wet/dry model, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The range is versatile within itself.

It earned the spot as best electric mop because it earned a perfect score for its maneuverability and portability, and it received high marks for its effectiveness and value. In this day and age, there is a vast range of hard floor surfaces: quarry tiles, PVC tiles, linoleum and now a vast range of laminate surfaces all of which need a fast and friendly means of maintenance.

The smaller models will work best for smaller homes – but come with less dust bin capacity. We recommend the Henry Micro for smaller homes. The largest of the Henry vacuums is the George, which is a 4-in-1… although the Charles comes close. Colour & Style In our wet test, this mop was a standout at cleaning up spills, thanks to its ability to wring it out so easily after each pass. This prevented the mop from spreading dirt around with each pass. The dry test was a bit of a different situation; the spongy nature of this mop made it less effective on messes when used dry.
