one thing that can ruin the added efficiency you gain from a steam mop is having to stop and wait for the mop to cool down enough so that you can change the cleaning pad. therefore you want to make sure you either 1) get a mop that can make it through your cleaning routine with one pad, or 2) invest in one that offers a hands-free pad changing feature, so you can change the pad without waiting for the mop to cool down.
hands-free cleaning pad changing is critical for cleaning large areas and messes.
