Verdict

The Shark Steam & Scrub S6002UK is an 1120W corded steam mop designed for sealed hard floors that heats up in 30 seconds and delivers up to 15 minutes of chemical-free cleaning via a 350ml water tank. Its standout characteristic is a dual-head assembly featuring two reusable Dirt Grip pads spinning at 150 RPM to simultaneously steam and scrub, eliminating up to 99.9% of common household bacteria using water alone. Main pros include a generous 8m power cord for excellent room-to-room reach, a lightweight 3.1kg frame that provides self-propelling maneuverability, and two Intelligent Steam Control settings (Light and Normal) tailored for surfaces ranging from delicate laminate to sturdy tile. However, notable cons include its round pad design that struggles to clean deep into tight room corners, a relatively small, non-removable water tank that demands frequent refilling, and the omission of the "Deep" steam setting or manual Steam Blaster trigger found on higher-end Shark models.

Summary of the review

Trusted Reviews - Shark Steam & Scrub Automatic Steam Mop S6002UK Review

The Shark Steam & Scrub S6002UK is an easy-to-use floor cleaner that efficiently removes tough stains and dirt from sealed hard floors without chemical detergents, featuring dual spinning pads, a rapid heat-up time, an 8-metre cable, and automatic steam control.
