THE Bissell Vac and Steam can vacuum, steam clean or do both at the same time.
The multifunctional Vac and Steam can be used on a number of surface types.
The traditional way has involved a sweep or vacuum first, followed by a mop-over or a wipe or a steam-clean.
The Vac and Steam uses vacuum action and steam-cleaning modes together to save time and effort with great results.
When used as directed, it will kill up to 99.9 per cent of germs and bacteria.
For steam cleaning, two washable mop pads are provided: one for regular cleans and one for sticky messes.
Vac and Steam also comes with two scent disks that insert into the mop pad and to leave a fresh scent after steam cleaning.
The gadget suits hard floors, low-pile carpet and area rugs. It weighs 4.7 kilograms, has a 7.6-metre power cord, a telescopic handle with five height settings.
It is available from Harvey Norman, David Jones, JB Hi-Fi, Joyce Mayne, Bing Lee, Domayne and Betta Electrical, RRP $369.
