What matters in practice
How to choose for this need
Check floor permission first, then plan around the steam-mode battery limit.
Hot dock care does not qualify as steam cleaning
3 of the 20 selected models have a documented floor-steam mode. 1 of those is corded. A heated roller wash or hot-air drying cycle does not put a machine on this steam shortlist.
The 75-minute headline is the wrong planning number
S9 Artist Steam lists 75 minutes in lie-flat Auto mode and 30 minutes in Steam. Its Steam maximum is 40% of the Auto maximum. If your own steam routine takes 40 minutes, a corded S6 removes that battery constraint, though refills and emptying still interrupt the work.
Sealed does not automatically mean steam-safe
A floor may tolerate damp washing but prohibit steam. Follow the flooring maker’s instructions, particularly around joints and finishes. The internal heater temperature is not a verified temperature at every point on the floor, and no sanitizing performance is claimed here.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Recommendations use manufacturer instructions and exact-model specifications. No independent pickup, noise, pet-comfort or sanitizing test is claimed. Check the floor care rules and remove solid pet waste separately.
