Shark Floor & Handheld Steam Cleaner S6005UK (Grey/White) – steam mop with Klik n’ Flip and lift-away
Product description
The essentials
If you like cleaning that actually targets mess rather than just spreading it around, a steam mop like this Shark S6005UK makes sense. What stands out on paper is that it’s not limited to floors: you can lift it away for handheld steam cleaning, so the same tool can be used around the house on a wider range of hard surfaces.
It also leans into convenience. Klik n’ Flip is designed to give you double-sided floor cleaning by flipping the mop head, and the switchable steam control lets you choose between two automatic settings for sealed hard floors. Add in a Steam Blast mode for tougher spots, plus a fairly comprehensive accessory set, and you’re looking at a single “steam station” approach rather than buying separate tools.
Key features that matter in everyday use
Klik n’ Flip is the headline feature for floor work. The idea is simple: flip the mop head to cover double the floor area and use machine-washable, double-sided Dirt Grip pads hands-free with the flip/release mechanism. For day-to-day cleaning, that means fewer pauses for swapping or fiddly pad handling.
The steam side is handled with three practical modes/controls: two automatic steam settings for sealed hard floors (with a focus on targeted deep cleaning for high-traffic areas and light, everyday dirt), plus a Steam Blast mode aimed at stubborn mess. There’s also an “intelligent steam control” feel to the way it’s described, so you don’t have to guess how much steam to use.
Where it gets more interesting is the lift-away handheld function. The description explicitly points to cleaning kitchen worktops and windows, and also bathroom tiles and shower screens. In other words, it’s aiming to cover those awkward, vertical or detail-heavy areas where a regular floor mop would be a bit of a hassle.
What you’ll notice day to day (and where it can be limited)
The S6005UK is presented as a steam cleaner for sealed hard floors and a range of hard surfaces. That’s a sensible scope: steam works best when you can apply heat directly to the grime you’re trying to shift. If your home has plenty of sealed hard floors and you’re dealing with recurring everyday dirt (plus the occasional stickier spot), this is the kind of tool that fits.
That said, it may not suit you if you’re expecting universal cleaning for every surface type. The steam is positioned for “sealed hard floors” and specific hard surfaces mentioned in the description, so if you want a do-everything cleaner for delicate materials or non-hard surfaces, you may find it a bit too specialised. Also, as with any steam tool, you’ll want to be mindful of how you’re applying steam and attachments rather than treating it like a general-purpose spray mop.

What’s included for quick setup
This kit is positioned as “ready to use” with a fairly broad accessory list for different cleaning jobs. Along with the Shark Steam Mop (UK plug), you get 2 Dirt Grip pads and a filling flask.
For steam handheld work and detail cleaning, the included items are listed as: accessory hose, pocket tool & pad, concentrator, scrubbing tool, copper brush, and crevice tool. There’s also a garment steamer included, which is a handy extra if you’re looking to refresh clothes without jumping to a separate appliance.
Who it suits best (and who should think twice)
It’s a good fit if you want one device that can do both floor steam mopping and handheld steam cleaning for areas like tiles, shower screens, windows, and kitchen worktops. If you’re regularly cleaning high-traffic spots and want the option of a heavier “Steam Blast” push for stubborn mess, the dual settings and Steam Blast mode are exactly the kind of feature set that tends to get used.
It may not be a great match if your cleaning routine is mostly on surfaces outside the sealed hard floor / hard surface scope described, or if you’d rather have a simpler floor-only mop and don’t care about handheld attachments or a garment steamer.
When it makes sense?
Buying the Shark S6005UK makes sense when you’re after a steam-first approach with pads that are machine-washable, a practical double-sided floor workflow (Klik n’ Flip), and enough accessories to tackle grout-like corners and tricky household areas.
You might want to skip it if you’re shopping for a basic floor steam mop and don’t plan to use the handheld attachments, or if your home doesn’t match the “sealed hard floors and mentioned hard surfaces” focus.
Final verdict
Shark’s S6005UK looks like a sensible, mid-range value-for-purpose steam option for households that want both floor mopping and handheld steam cleaning from the same unit. The Klik n’ Flip concept and double-sided Dirt Grip pads are built for repeat use, and the split between everyday steam and a Steam Blast push gives it flexibility.
Just be realistic about the coverage: it’s described for sealed hard floors and specific hard-surface jobs, so it won’t be a universal cleaner. If that matches your surfaces and you’ll actually use the accessories, this one is easier to justify.
