Kogan Steam Mops Review
We all like having a clean floor, but the cleaning part, not so much. In particular, when you have pets or messy kids, you may find the floor back to its initial dirty state within an hour. However, there are ways to keep floors shiny – even in high foot traffic areas – one of which is using a steam mop. Steam mops in general make the cleaning process more efficient by providing a chemical free solution without the need of a bucket. One of the newest brands to earn the attention of Aussies is Kogan – the online retailer has two main steam mops on offer, providing varying levels of functionality and features. How do they stack up? Find out in this Canstar Blue review.
Kogan steam mops
Kogan 5-in-1 Steam Mop
Kogan’s 5-in-1 steam mop aims to reduce the amount of cleaning products you need in your home by combining a variety of functions together, which include:
- Floor steam mop
- Carpet glider
- Hand-Held Steamer
- Garment steamer
- Window/mirror/glass cleaner
Kogan’s floor mop function, with a number of steam settings, is claimed to help loosen hard to remove dirt. Its carpet glider attachment is aimed at removing stains as well as deodorising carpet. Kogan’s hand held steamer is designed to steam off grime in kitchens and bathrooms, claimed to be an efficient size for fitting in between corners and drains.
For garment needs, the garment steamer attachment might also be of benefit if you need to quickly steam away some wrinkles on your clothes to look sharp for a dinner with the in-laws. The final function is to remove dust build up and provide a streak-free clean on windows, mirrors and glass.
Some other features with Kogan’s 5-in-1 steam mop include a spout nozzle, nylon brush head, wire brush head, duster attachment and an extension hose. It is also equipped with a 4.75m cord, 1300W motor power and can reach a max temperature of 100°C. Kogan claims it to have a heating time of 20 seconds and steam time of approximately 10 – 17 minutes. It includes one garment and glass microfiber pad and two dusting and floor microfiber pads.
- RRP: $99
Kogan 10-in-1 Steam Mop
If you think Kogan couldn’t add any more functionality to its cleaning mops, think again, this model provides the following 10 functions:

- Carpet glider
- Removable countertop steamer
- Garment & upholstery steamer
- Windows/mirrors cleaner
- Tiles & grout steamer
- Taps & sanitary ware cleaner

It is designed with a steam jet blast function to help break down grease and grime on ovens, BBQs, hobs and grout. Several other features thrown in include an adjustable temperature control – that allows you to change the temperature according to the type of surface you are cleaning – and a cold-fill tank, which doesn’t require the unit to cool down before you can refill it. Handheld steam mop is equipped with a 450mL water tank as well as a measuring jug and funnel for refilling.
It also includes two microfiber cloths, a straight nozzle for precision cleaning, extension hose and crevice tool for hard to reach areas and a steam duster. Another attachment for cleaning ovens and BBQs is a wire round brush and a plastic round brush for taps and sanitary ware. But the list doesn’t end there! Kogan’s 10-in-1 steam mop is also equipped with a brush blade for stairs and a surface cleaner for cleaning and sanitising. So for all things cleaning, this mop may tick all the boxes for you.

Are Kogan steam mops worth the money?
Kogan’s steam mops reflect what we have come to expect from Kogan – you get quite a lot for the price. This is true when it comes to Kogan’s televisions and even its mobile phone plans. Along with packing a punch with the variety of features, the Kogan steam mops aim to not blow your budget, sitting nicely in a mid-range price market. So while you look through all the Kogan TVs, you might also like to throw in one of these multi-purpose steam mops into your online shopping basket.
To leave behind the traditional mop and replace it with a steam mop is certainly something to consider, especially as it avoids the use of any harsh chemicals. Perhaps the only downside to Kogan’s steam mops is finding enough storage space for all the different accessories. Nevertheless, you can’t argue with the flexibility and functionality on offer. If you’re looking for a relatively cheap steam mop with lots of extra bells and whistles, Kogan should be on your list.
