Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop Review

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop has become a bit of a sensation on TikTok, with its sleek magenta and black design, multiple attachments, and promises of high-temperature steam cleaning.

If you’ve seen it pop up in social media feeds, it’s easy to understand why – it looks stylish and modern, and who wouldn’t be intrigued by the idea of tackling grout, tile, and sticky messes with such a cool looking device?

Available across major retailers like Amazon and even at a lower price on Temu, this mop seems like a versatile option at first glance.

However, as eye-catching as this steam mop might be, there’s more to consider.

Let’s dive deeper into its features to see if this popular mop is a good fit for your home.

Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop Description

This is a combination steam mop with a detachable cleaner that can be used to clean other surfaces such as toilets and mirrors. It is designed to be an all-in-one solution for a wide range of cleaning needs.

It’s referred to as the Schenley Hestia on the manufacturer’s site but most retail sites seem to leave out this reference. Just know that they are the same thing.

This mop and cleaner promises to tackle everything from kitchen messes to bathroom grime, all while keeping harsh chemicals out of your home, which is really the goal of most steam cleaners.

The design is minimalistic, with lines and curves that remind you of a Dyson product and easy-to-use buttons that add to its modern appeal.

However, while it looks sleek, its design choices do present some practical challenges which it’s important to understand before you buy.

Flooring Types

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop can work on a variety of floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and grout.

Thanks to its adjustable steam settings, it can handle both tougher surfaces like tile and more delicate ones like sealed hardwood floors but with some caution.

One standout feature is the ability to pause the steam function while you’re mopping.

This gives you more control, allowing you to turn off the steam when moving over sensitive areas such as delicate flooring or when transitioning between different surfaces. The mop will still be hot, though.

While the mop works well on hard floors, its relatively low steam temperature may limit its effectiveness on deeply ingrained dirt.

For general maintenance and light cleaning, though, it performs adequately, especially on smooth surfaces.

Mop Head Shape & Size

The mop head is rectangular and is 11.8 inches long and 3.5 inches wide.

I love this shape and size for cleaning bathrooms. The space between the back of my toilet and the wall is just over 6 inches so this fits nicely all the way behind so I don’t have to get down on my knees and do those spots by hand.

The 180-degree swivel head further adds to its maneuverability.

It comes with two microfiber pads that attach easily with Velcro. You can just put them on the floor, Velcro side up, and press the mop head on top of them and you’re ready to go. I much prefer this style over the ones you have to wrap around the head.

They’re washable and reusable and hold up well but if you clean often or have a lot of flooring to cover you may find two is not enough and you’ll want extras on hand.

Another advantage of this mop head shape is its low-profile design, thanks to the water tank being placed at the top of the unit rather than near the base.

This allows the mop head height to be very short, making it easier to clean under furniture where other mops would struggle.

I have a small hutch in my breakfast nook that has 4 inch legs. I have used lots of steam mops that wouldn’t fit under that hutch enough to clean the full floor underneath. To get to that spot, I usually have to move the hutch. This mop can get under it without my having to move it which saves time.

Schenley 7-in-1 Water Tank & Steam

One of the main selling points of any steam mop is how quickly it heats up and how long it lasts between refills.

This one heats up in just 15 seconds, so you can get started on your cleaning almost immediately.

The water tank holds 8.5 fluid ounces, which is on the small side compared to other steam mops.

This might be fine if you’re using it for quick, simple jobs, but it does mean you’ll need to refill more often if you’re cleaning larger areas.

According to the manufacturer, you can get about 12-25 minutes of continuous steam depending on the setting you choose.

Normally, I would expect a tank of this size to run out within 10 minutes at the maximum heat but since this one has variable heat settings you can extend the run time if you’re using the mop or cleaner feature on a task that doesn’t need the highest setting.

This run time is a decent range for light cleaning tasks but might feel limiting for larger homes or those who need to clean multiple rooms in one session.

In an average-sized home, frequent refills may become frustrating and disruptive.

The tank position, too, is one of those design challenges I mentioned. It’s handy in that it is easy to refill being up by the handle instead of at the base yet this also moves the bulk of the mop’s weight up to your hand. This can make the unit feel awkward and top-heavy when it’s full.

This might also make it difficult to use for extended periods, especially if you have any joint issues. I’ve seen even young adults mention this was an issue for them. For someone like me, in my 50s with both carpal tunnel and arthritis, this would really put a lot of strain on my wrists.

Three Steam Settings

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop offers three different steam levels, which can be adjusted depending on your cleaning needs.

You can crank up the steam for tough messes, like grout or kitchen spills, or dial it down for more delicate surfaces, like hardwood floors or glass.

You do see and hear steam coming out while doing the floors so you know it’s working.

The fact that it has adjustable steam levels makes it versatile enough for different types of surfaces, and you can switch between settings as you move from room to room.

With a maximum steam temperature of 248°F, it’s capable of sanitizing surfaces and handling everyday messes like spills and dirt.

However, this temperature is on the lower end compared to other steam mops, which can reach upwards of 275°F, meaning it may struggle with more stubborn stains, grease, or heavy-duty jobs.

Plus, users have noted that the highest steam setting might not be as powerful as advertised and could present an issue if your goal is to kill germs without chemicals. This requires steam temperatures between 175°F and 212°F applied for an extended period. You might have to hold this mop in place for longer than other mops in order to disinfect.

For basic floor cleaning, like hardwood, laminate, and tile, it does a good job – especially in smaller areas where its maneuverability and lightweight design come in handy.

If you’re expecting industrial-grade steam power, this mop might fall short.

Controls

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring a user-friendly control panel that make it easy to operate, even for those who aren’t particularly tech-savvy.

The buttons are conveniently placed on the mop’s handle, allowing for quick adjustments without interrupting your cleaning flow.

There are three steam settings that can be controlled via buttons on the handle, letting you toggle between light, medium, and high steam levels depending on your cleaning needs.

Whether you’re gently steaming hardwood floors or tackling tougher messes on tile and grout, you can adjust the steam output on the fly.

Attachments

True to its name, the 7-in-1 comes with a variety of accessories meant to tackle different surfaces and cleaning tasks. In the box, you’ll find the following attachments:

• Mop Head for traditional floor cleaning
• Jet Nozzle for powerful, concentrated steam blasts
• Glass Squeegee for cleaning windows and glass surfaces
• Sponge Head for more delicate scrubbing
• Grout Brushes to help clean the stubborn dirt between tiles
• Nylon Brush for general-purpose scrubbing
• Metal Brush for tougher, stuck-on grime

This range of attachments gives you flexibility in what and where you can clean. In theory, you can use this mop to clean nearly every part of your home, from your floors and grout to windows, stovetops, and bathroom sinks.

The detachable handheld steamer makes it possible to get into hard-to-reach places, like around faucets or in tight corners, and swap out attachments quickly to suit whatever surface you’re cleaning.

Even better, you do not have to detach the handle to use the attachments.

This means you can replace the mop head with one of the attachments and have a much longer reach for using those extra tools to clean places like the top of your shower surround without pulling out a ladder.

However, it’s worth noting that while the variety of attachments sounds appealing, some users have reported that certain accessories don’t hold up well under repeated use.

For example, several reviews mention the sponge head breaking off after just a few uses, and some other attachments, like the scrubber, have been known to fall apart quickly. If you plan on using these attachments often, you may find you want to buy replacements and keep them on hand.

Cleaning Solution & Options

One of the biggest perks of the Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop is that it allows you to clean without harsh chemicals.

This is a huge plus for homes with children, pets, or anyone sensitive to strong cleaning agents. All you need is tap water to create steam, which is powerful enough to kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria.

For anyone looking to cut down on their chemical usage while still maintaining a clean home, this is a key benefit.

However, some users have mentioned that, while steam is effective for general cleaning, you may still need to use additional cleaning products for particularly tough stains or grime, especially on grout or greasy kitchen surfaces.

So while the mop does eliminate the need for most chemicals, don’t throw out your entire arsenal of cleaning supplies just yet.

Dimensions

At just 5.5 pounds, the Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop is lightweight and easy to carry around. It’s made with a combination of aluminum and plastic. This makes it especially appealing for users who need to carry it up and down stairs.

It’s 46.5 inches tall and because of the range of motion in the handle this works for people of all heights.

If you’re someone who struggles with heavy mops or cumbersome cleaning tools, this one will feel like a breeze in comparison.

Its slim profile makes it easy to store upright, and it doesn’t require much room to stand on its own. This is another feature that makes it appealing for those in apartments, dorm rooms, or homes with limited storage space.

One thing to note is that while it’s lightweight and compact, the mop can feel a bit unstable when propped up against a wall.

Some users have reported that it easily tips over, which could be an annoyance if you’re used to more sturdy mops that stand upright on their own.

If you clean in a rush and are a klutz like me, you’re going to drop this at some point.

Pros

Cons

Price

The price of the Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop is in the under $100 range, making it an affordable option compared to higher-end steam mops with similar multifunctional features.

For a mop that includes seven different attachments and a detachable handheld steamer, this is certainly appealing for budget-conscious buyers.

The price is especially attractive if you’re primarily using it for light cleaning tasks in smaller spaces like apartments or dorm rooms.

While the affordable price is appealing, its durability issues may reduce its long-term value.

If you’re looking for a steam mop that can handle heavy-duty cleaning or large homes, you may find yourself needing to replace or upgrade sooner than expected, which could diminish the cost-effectiveness.

Consumer Ratings

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop has garnered a fair amount of attention from consumers, with a high rating across various platforms.

However, not all reviews are glowing. Some users have pointed out that the attachments can be fragile, with reports of certain parts, like the sponge head or scrubber, breaking after just a few uses.

Some reviews may be overly positive, as there are indications of inflated ratings. It’s worth examining both the pros and cons carefully before deciding.

My rating for this steam mop is 3.9 based on the list of cons in relation to other mop options.

Summary

The Schenley 7-in-1 Steam Mop is undeniably attractive, with its sleek design and variety of attachments making it a tempting buy, especially after its rise to fame on social media platforms like TikTok.

But don’t let the hype fool you – this steam mop is best suited for a specific type of user.

With a lower-than-average steam temperature and a small water tank, it’s not equipped for heavy-duty cleaning or tackling large areas in one go.

The design, while eye-catching, places the water tank up top, making the mop feel top-heavy and uncomfortable to use for long periods.

Ultimately, it has a niche market: it’s great for those who prioritize form over function or have specific light cleaning needs, but it’s not the best choice for everyone.
