If you\u2019ve always wanted to keep your house in order but couldn\u2019t afford it, you\u2019ve got no excuse now.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I know that cheap cleaners and appliances in general often get a bad rap. But I was surprised at how sturdy the S2901 is. From top to bottom, no single part feels cheaply made.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the raw cleaning power, Shark clearly got the competition on their toes. Sure, the S2901 may not be as powerful as the higher end steam mops, but it\u2019s definitely enough to clear the grease off my kitchen counters and grime off the hardwood floors.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don\u2019t mop my kitchen counters if that\u2019s what you\u2019re thinking. The Shark S2901 Steam Pocket Mop features a handheld configuration for then you want to get to higher places.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the steam; I noticed that this device offered the industry standard heat up time of 30 seconds (more like 45), so no big whoop there. However, the brand more than makes up for that with a plethora of attachments. This includes 2 microfibre pockets, a carpet glider, extension hose, several brushes and a squeegee for windows.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll look at the accessories later on. But first, have you seen that water capacity? At an entire 3.4 litres, the water tank is quite generous if you ask me. Managed to steam my house continuously for well over 17 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>How Easy Is It to Use?<\/h2>\n<p>Not only is the S2901 Lite Pocket Mop from Shark incredibly easy to use, but it\u2019s also elegant in design too. Even the initial assembly was quite intuitive for me. So you should have no trouble figuring that part out.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got it assembled, you\u2019ll immediately notice the weight \u2013 more particularly the lack of it. At only 2.5 Kg, that as light as a steam mop comes. This means that you can take it anywhere around the house without unnecessarily tiring your arms.<\/p>\n<p>The ergonomic shape also makes handling, manoeuvrability, and control that much easier. While upright, she handles just like any other mop should. If your house is as small and as packed as mine, you\u2019ll definitely appreciate the swivel steering.<\/p>\n<p>And it gets better when converted into a handheld. All you have to do is pop in the 1-metre hose and decide on which attachment to work with. And thanks to the balance between raw steaming power and flow rate, the drying time isn\u2019t that bad either. Just make sure you don\u2019t become a casualty of wet slippery floors.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u00a0Accessories Are Included?<\/h2>\n<p>The following items and accessories can be found in the box upon purchase:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shark S2901UKCO Multifunction Lite Steam Pocket Mop<\/li>\n<li>2 Microfibre pockets<\/li>\n<li>Carpet glider<\/li>\n<li>Detail scrubbing brush<\/li>\n<li>Extension hose<\/li>\n<li>Condensor nozzle<\/li>\n<li>Window squeegee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pros<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Light, ergonomic and sturdy design<\/li>\n<li>Slightly higher steam flow rate of 22g\/m<\/li>\n<li>Comes with an array of accessories<\/li>\n<li>Converts into a handheld<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cons<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Shark could have at least included an instruction manual to make life easier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Anything Else You Should Know?<\/h2>\n<p>Now, the packaging for the Shark S2901 Lite Steam Pocket Mop clearly states that it turns tap water into steam. However, the label recommends distilled water which can be a bit confusing to users. Having used both, I can say that the unit performs just as good with tap water as distilled water. However, it does leave behind some amount of residue behind with tap water.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>If you have hard floors in your home, then it goes without saying that a steam mop is a must. But if you\u2019re looking for a bit of cleaning versatility and raw steam power, then the Shark S2901 Steam Pocket Mop is your new best friend.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making full use of the steam on a myriad of surfaces, you get a specialized attachment for each. What\u2019s more, it won\u2019t cost you an arm and a leg like some of the other bulkier, <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanhousefast.co.uk\/best-steam-mop-reviews\/\">higher-end steam mops<\/a>. But don\u2019t take my word for it; give the S2901 a whirl and see it yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Where To Buy?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Amazon UK:<b>\u00a0<a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B06X998CGQ\" data-locale=\"UK\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"chf04-21\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B06X998CGQ?tag=chf04-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">&gt;&gt; Click here to see today&#8217;s price<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know what convenience sounds like to me?
