Steam vacuum cleaner

— these are devices that combine the functions of a steam cleaner and a wet vacuum cleaner, allowing users to clean surfaces with hot steam and also extract softened dirt through a suction mechanism. This feature eliminates the need for separate wiping or cleaning, simplifying the cleaning process. Additionally, they can also be used for dry vacuuming. However, such devices are usually heavier and more expensive due to their multiple functions, which may not be needed by everyone. Therefore, there are a lot ofsteam vacuum cleaners nowadays.

Note that any type of unit (see above) can have this feature, except for garment steamers (due to application specifics) and handheld models (due to size/weight restrictions). The format of the steam vacuum cleaner can also be different. In most cases, steam cleaning is performed before vacuuming, but some machines are capable of simultaneously steaming and suctioning, which can save a considerable amount of time.
