I am a little confused - just used my steam mop for the first time and was not too impressed with the result! The operating instructions say to use the trigger in 'short bursts' but doing this the steam just starts and stops. However one of the answers seems to indicate that you need to hold the trigger down when using. Which is the right (or best) way of using this?
You have to hold the trigger down. It's a soft trigger so I don't find it difficult on my hands. I do bursts of steam if I have a stubborn spot or something I want to soften (like weetbix!). You do...
Read more have to get a good steam going for maximum cleaning ability but holding the trigger down produces constant steam until you let it go or run out of water. I've been using mine for several months now and I'm still really happy with it.
You need to wait for the mop to hear up for a few minutes. Steam will start to rise out of the mop when it it ready. Hold the trigger in to produce more steam on more difficult stains. After you h...

I have just purchased a Vax VSTDUO1600 from Bunnings and am very disappointed that I can't get it to operate. I'm sure I followed every step in the instruction book but the power indicator doesn't come on when I plug it in and of course it won't work. Can you help me please?
In instruction manual you will see the power on/off button is on the back of the machine. Its a 'soft' button, a bit tricky one half of the button is on, say, press "up" and the other half is press "d...

Just bought one from Bunnings. Used once and am happy about it. However I'm worried I won't be able to get spare mop pads - Bunnings didn't have them and I can't find any online, anywhere. Please tell me where and how much I can get them for?

I have used a lot of steam mops in the past and there is aleays a lot of water left behind, very wet floors. How is the problem with that on this one? Does it use a lot of water, leave a lot of moisture? Thanks
I was concerned about this aspect as well. You have to make the steam hot first then it leaves the floor damp but not water residue it drys quickly. I have steamed kitchen and bathroom on one tank. I use this steam mop every week.
I agree with ejj2014 let it warm up and the floors are dry very quickly after use in this current colder weather still dry completely in a couple of minutes and I gave concrete tiles laid straight on the slab.
Checked the review in Choice and would like to see in action. Bunnings Warehouse Mt Barker, SA?
Need something that will clean grout in kitchen tiles really well.
Hi Patricia,
We would recommend the Vax Home Master or the Grime Master as they have specific attachements for cleaning grout with steam. Both of these steam machines are available from Bunnings War...
Is the trigger easy to hold down while doing a whole house, I have mild arthritis in my fingers.
Thanks for your questions Dusty, we have had a play with this one and the trigger does not require a great amount of pressure but we suggest you have a closer look just to be on the safe side. You sh...
