Haan SV-60 Steam Vacuum

Pros
  • Steam and vacuum simultaneously
  • Sanitize in one second
  • Long steam time
Cons
  • Short power cord
  • High-profile head
  • Heavy

The Haan SV-60 Steam Vacuum is Haan's foray into the burgeoning steam-vacuum category. Like other Haan models, the SV-60 is capable of sanitizing in just one second with 212 degree F steam released continuously through multiple holes. It also heats up quickly and is ready to use in only 40 seconds. The Haan SV-60's removable water tank holds 18.59 ounces and is reported to be able to clean for up to 40 minutes. On the vacuum side, the SV-60 has a wet vac motor that allows you to steam and vacuum simultaneously and a HEPA filtration system. At 11.8 pounds the Haan SV-60 is heavier than other steam mops, but reviewers report it glides easily. The power cord is shorter at 19.7 feet compared with the 30 feet on the Bissell Steam & Sweep 46B4 (*Est. $130) and Shark Vac-then-Steam (*Est. $130).

The Haan SV-60 also has a high profile, which can make it difficult to clean tight spaces such as corners and under cabinets. Included with the Haan SV-60 is a high pile carpet glider to increase the height of the steam vacuum so it can be used on higher pile carpets. Overall reviewers say the Haan SV-60 is very convenient and easy to use. While it does a decent job working as a vacuum and steam mop simultaneously, owners say it performs better when the functions are used separately. If price is a consideration then the Bissell Steam & Sweep 46B4 may be a better option, though it is a sweeper, not a vacuum. Overall, however none of these mop/vacuum combos get great reviews.

While there are no user reviews for the Haan SV-60 Steam Vacuum here, there is a detailed review from one of the site's experts. The reviewer gives the Haan SV-60 a good rating, praising its ability to vacuum hard floors well and to switch quickly to a steam mop. While the SV-60 can function as a steamer and vacuum simultaneously, the reviewer says it is more effective when using each function alone. The high profile of the Haan SV-60 also makes it difficult to clean in tight places.

2. Amazon.com

The Haan SV-60 receives 3.5 out of a possible 5 stars and wins praise for its ease of use and ability to steam and vacuum simultaneously. Reviewers note that the steam mop works better than the vacuum, but the Haan SV-60 is heavier than a regular steam mop. Also, the high profile makes it difficult to clean well in corners and under cabinets.
