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.

The verdict, who it fits, and where to think twice — before you scroll the deep review.
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.
Watch Outs
Owners of larger homes who need extended tank runtime, or anyone wanting multipurpose above-floor steam cleaning for kitchens and bathrooms.

Editor's Take
The NexLev SM-01 is the steam mop I recommend for anyone testing the waters of steam cleaning for the first time. At Rs 3,499-4,299, it costs less than three months of chemical floor cleaner purchases. Even if you use it for just six months and decide to upgrade, you will have already saved money compared to traditional mopping.
