See the breakdown of each below, successively.
Best Overall: Bissell Powerfresh Slim Hardwood Floor Steam Cleaner System (2075A)
Topping the list is the ergonomic, electronic Powerfresh (2075A) model from the house of Bissell.
Powerfresh (2075A) is a convertible cleaning system, serving both as a steam mop and as a handheld cleaner.
The design comes as a detachable 3-pieces cleaning tool (a handheld steamer, a slim body stick, and a set of mopping heads) for achieving a squeaky clean tiled floor with less hassle.
Each of the included heads is unique in its own purpose.
The mopping pad head can be attached to the end of the mopping stick for mild mopping. Likewise, you may replace that with the bristle scrub brush head to ease the removal of mildew and other tough stains on a super-dirty tiled floor.
And lastly, for grout cleaning, a special grout tool head allows you to effectively clean dirt and grime from grouts.
On the flip side, Powerfresh converts into a handheld cleaning system for cleaning multiple surfaces without the mopping stick getting in the way.
Just eliminate the stick from the setup and attach whichever of the heads to the steam tank.
With this setup, you can grab the comfy steam tank handle to steam-clean clothing, countertops, microwaves, sinks, refrigerators, upholsteries, and other above-floor surfaces.
Did I mention the scraper head and the angle head, both of which enable to scrape stuck-on messes from tight corners respectively? See the complete features below.

Tiles, sealed stones, hardwood, and linoleum; for every hard but delicate floor material that gets messy quickly, this is the cleaning solution.
It is light and easy to use, plus, the triangular head design allows you to reach for the tightest corners without ever having to scrub again.
And just so you’d rather scrub, the Therma Pro Elite pack features up to 12 accessories that have been specially designed for an effective scrubbing solution done with less effort.
The only downside, however, is the low water capacity limitation that demands constant refill. But that is what accounts for the light weightiness of the unit anyways.
Other than that, this is the steam-based tool for deep-cleaning vinyl, marble, porcelain tiles, and other ceramic floors.
From a copper brush head that is tough on hard stains to a nylon brush head designed to eliminate mildews through a microfiber pad for killing 99% of germs without the use of chemicals.

Low Budget Choice: Light N Easy Mop Powerful Floor Steamer Cleaner Mopper (7338ANW)

The Light N Easy steamer cleaner is a powerful mopper with an easy swivel steering that enables smooth maneuverability around edges and corners. The fluid handle is movable around 360 degrees for more flexible operation.
And it has its water tank to the ground in lieu of those that recur the extra heavy lifting.
The water tank bottom has been specially engineered to pack more heat and since it is closer the removable cleaning pad steam of higher temperature is evenly distributed for effective removal of stuck-on messes.
Unlike the models reviewed so far, this one heats up faster, boasting a warm-up period of 20 seconds. Together with this, the extended 20ft power cord speeds up operating a large area of space.
Nevertheless, the water tank capacity of this model is incredibly low, compared to any of the models reviewed so far.

Integrating microfiber pads, this unit eliminates grout dirt quickly and absorbs liquid messes faster compared to a clothing pad-based system.

For operation convenience, the Reliable 200CU features wrapping ports around its body so you can wrap and release the 21 inches power cord to your preference.

Buying Guide
So, just in case you’d rather shop around on your own, I have put this ultimate buying guide together to serve as a sidelight for a blameless purchase decision. Below are the features you should look out for to exchange your money for the best steam mops for tile floor and grouts.
Cleaner Head Material
Usually, a steam mop will come with either a microfiber head or a cotton head.
But as you must have noticed in my recommendations above, most models include specially designed heads as accessories.
At the bottom line, microfiber heads are more absorbent while cotton heads, on the other hand, are more washable.
Ease Of Use
You’re opting for a steam mop in order to reduce the stress in the first place.
Therefore, it’s reasonable to make sure that your pick aligns with that interest.
Durability
Regardless of how big or small your budget is, every penny is a penny.
And in that light, your equipment should be such that have been built to last. To verify the durability of your mop, notice the material with which it was built.
In my opinion, the metal-built mops are more durable than plastic. The only edge a plastic-built mop has over its metal counterpart is that it doesn’t corrode.
Tank capacity
This is especially important. The water capacity of your cleaning system should be enough to operate for 5-10 minutes, at the very least, before the need to refill arises.
Conclusion
So far, I have recommended 10 of the best steam mops for tile floor and grouts.
I have carefully highlighted what each is best for and what you should expect in the long run.
I can only hope that you have found the model that suits your needs. If not, kindly use the comment box for more specifications.
