The 10 Best Electric Mops

Although the SharkNinja Shark Genius (appx. $95) uses eco-friendly reusable pads, it features a touch-free release button that removes the grubby cloth, so you don't have to get your hands dirty. This also means less stooping, saving you from an aching back.

You don't have to win the lotto to grab this O-Cedar Microfiber (around $68), which is less expensive than many, but includes an extra cleaning pad. It's also versatile, since it arrives with a snap-on glider that lets you run it over carpets.

For those seeking shine, the Bissell SpinWave (about $100) is a fine option. The gentle pads whirl and keep streaks at bay, while the on-demand sprayer ensures that you don't use too much liquid. Plus, its low-profile head fits under cabinets to snug up against your baseboards.

If you find yourself confronting a lot of dried-on crud, then the Bissell PowerFresh (appx. $106) is a worthy choice, thanks to a flip-down scrubber that'll help you do away with stubborn filth. Take advantage of the Febreze fragrance discs to complete the freshness experience.

The PurSteam 10-in-1 (around $90) features a detachable handheld unit, allowing for more mobility when reaching underneath furniture or appliances. It generates its steam in about 30 seconds, and comes with a variety of nylon brushes for tackling serious messes.

The multi-functional Vmai Cordless (about $130) allows for both floor washing and waxing, and comes with separate pads for each. Its battery pack lasts for 40 to 60 minutes on a single charge, and its flexible mop head rotates 180 degrees, making it easy to slide into tight spots.

You can do a lot with the Light 'N' Easy 10-in-1 System (around $120), from running it over the floor to using it to steam a sofa or wrinkly clothing, because it has a handheld unit that pops right off the frame, so no corner of your house goes unwashed.

Ever wondered what would happen if you could cross a vacuum with a mop? Wonder no more, as that's exactly what you'll get with the Bissell CrossWave (appx. $230). With a two-tank design to keep dirty and clean water separate, it picks up debris while it refreshes soiled surfaces.

The Alldio Spin Scrubber (about $100) isn't a mop, per se, but for getting at stuck-on muck, it gives you the force you need. It comes with a variety of pads and brushes, too, so it'll work on all kinds of surfaces, from the tiles in your bathroom to your car's tires.

The Shark Pocket (around $62) features swivel steering and a light, 4.87-pound weight, making it easy to maneuver around the house. Its microfiber pads are double-sided, allowing for more time between washings, and the 18-foot cord lets you clean large areas without switching outlets.
