Verdict

The Black+Decker FSH10SM SteaMitt is a 1000-watt corded handheld steam cleaner featuring a 100 ml water tank capacity and a rapid 15 to 20-second heat-up time. Its primary advantage is the innovative, insulated silicone SteaMitt glove that allows users to wipe and sanitize flat surfaces directly with their hand, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria using only tap water without chemicals. Main pros include its lightweight build, hands-free continuous steam trigger, and machine-washable microfiber pads. However, notable cons include its small water capacity that limits continuous run time to roughly 7 minutes, a relatively short 3-meter power cord, and a cumbersome design when attempting to clean tight crevices or intricate areas like water taps.

What customers dislike about Black+Decker FSH10SM SteaMitt Handheld Steam Cleaner?

  • The 100ml water tank capacity is small, offering a limited runtime of only 5 to 7 minutes before needing a refill.
  • The bulkiness of the SteaMitt glove makes intricate cleaning around tight spaces, like faucets and taps, quite clumsy.
  • Lacks essential detailing nozzles and precision brush attachments for small nooks, corners, and crannies.
  • The power cable is somewhat short, often requiring an extension lead to navigate around larger rooms or bathrooms.
  • Some components and materials feel somewhat flimsy or of cheap plastic quality according to some buyers.
