BOJUK F2 Scrubbing Steam Mop: how it works and what it's for

The BOJUK F2 is a steam mop that combines heated steam with two spinning cleaning pads. It is made for sealed hard floors such as tile, marble and hardwood, and BOJUK designed it to cut down the pushing and scrubbing that a normal mop needs.

Steam plus spinning pads

Plain steam mops loosen dirt with heat and moisture, and then you wipe it away. The F2 adds motion. BOJUK says its dual motors turn the pads at 230 RPM, which scrubs the floor as it steams. The company claims up to twice the stuck-on stain removal of traditional steam mops, a figure that comes from the brand. Dried spills and sticky marks are the sort of thing a scrubbing action is meant to help with.

Self-propelled movement

The mop glides forward by itself, because the spinning pads help drive it along. BOJUK says this reduces the physical effort of cleaning. You steer rather than push, which can be easier on the arms and back over a large floor.

Four cleaning modes

BOJUK lists four modes to suit different situations and floor types, so you can switch settings between, say, a light daily clean and a more thorough pass. The listing doesn't give the details of each mode, so check the manual for what each setting does and which is meant for which surface.

LED headlights and the swivel head

Two LED lights at the front shine onto the floor so you can see dirt as you clean, including under furniture where it is dim. The head has a 90-degree swivel, which lets the mop turn around table legs and reach tight spaces. BOJUK describes the design as lightweight and flexible; the mop weighs 10 lb (about 4.5 kg) and stands roughly 47 inches (120 cm) tall.

Water and floor types

You fill the tank with ordinary tap water, with no cleaning chemicals required by the design, according to BOJUK. The company says it suits hardwood, marble and tile, and describes it as safe for sealed hard floors. Steam and moisture can damage unsealed or damaged wood, some laminates and certain finishes, so check your flooring maker's guidance before steaming.

Who it suits

This type of mop fits households with large areas of tile or sealed hard flooring who want a faster, lower-effort routine. It is less relevant to homes that are mostly carpet. Steam mops can also help people who prefer to avoid chemical floor cleaners.

What to check before you buy

• Floor type: confirm that your floors are sealed and approved for steam by their maker.
• Hot steam: keep children and pets away while it is running, and follow the manual's safety notes.
• Cord reach: check the cord length against the size of your rooms; the listing doesn't state it.
• Pads: find out how many pads come in the box, how they wash and when they need replacing.
• Water tank: check the capacity and the recommended water type, as hard water can leave scale in some steam appliances.
• Storage: it is about 47 inches tall when upright, so allow space for it.
