NexLev SM-01 1300W Steam Mop Review
The NexLev SM-01 is the most affordable dedicated steam mop in India at Rs 3,499-4,299, costing less than three months of Lizol and Dettol floor cleaner purchases. It includes 5 microfibre mop pads in the box, enough for 6-8 months of use, saving an additional Rs 600-1,000 on accessory costs.
Our Verdict
At Rs 3,499-4,299 with 1300W power, 400ml tank, 20-second heat-up, 5 included mop pads, and 99.99% germ kill rate, the SM-01 is the lowest-risk entry into chemical-free floor cleaning. No handheld mode, basic design without variable steam control, and NexLev's expanding service network are the trade-offs for the entry-level pricing.
Best For
First-time steam mop buyers in 1BHK or small 2BHK apartments who want to try chemical-free cleaning at the lowest possible investment.
Consider Alternatives If
Owners of larger homes who need extended tank runtime, or anyone wanting multipurpose above-floor steam cleaning for kitchens and bathrooms.
