Life Changing
My house has ALL wood, bamboo and tile floors. I've said over the years that I wanted a maid to come in and just do the floors. A pregnancy injury left me in pain most of the time and floors are really hard for me. I started with a robot vacuume that I love love love. Next I wanted an electric mop. After reading all the reviews, the corded plug in Shark Hydrovac is what I bought. I am reading poor reviews here under this product, but they continually mention the weak battery. My review is for the corded plug in vacuume not a cordless model. My floors have never been cleaner. I used the vacuume over the course of two days and about 10 hours for an initial clean. The bamboo floor is only six years old and sealed. That floor was so easy to clean, although I still cleaned it three times over since it hasn't been cleaned in over six months. The kitchen tile was super easy too, although it doesn't reach the grout, my daughter is young and took on the challenge to clean the grout with a nifty grout brush I found. The hard part to clean is the 30 year old wood floors with areas where the seal is worn off. We bought the house from someone who's dogs had scratched the floors and wore off the finish in high traffic areas. This was the hard part to clean the first time. I did the same as with the bamboo and cleaned it the times over. After it was done, I realized there were areas of built up dirt on the unsealed areas I had not been getting clean. I decided to go back and clean this area by hand with a scrub brush to get it where I wanted. After that the floors have been a snap to keep clean. I've put in about 20 hours with the vacuume so far and have had zero problems. Some reviews say you can't vacuume and mop together. I didn't even try that. I vacuume with the robot first, then mop. I don't want to risk scratching the floor with a gritty mop. It is super easy to clean. The clean tank chines right out with the push of a button. The dirty tank is the same way. I dump it in the sink, rinse it and either use it again or put it on a towel to drain and dry. There is a sponge on the filter that I rinse and squeeze and put on the towel to dry. The beater bar comes out easily. I rinse under the faucet in the kitchen sink and squeeze by grabbing the bar and turning it around with the other hand. Again, I either put it back on the mop to keep cleaning or leave it on its end to dry on the towel. The vacuume without the beater bar and without the dirty tank, has a very short tube between the two that cleans easily with a bottle brush that is not included, but I already own it. All these parts are removable and replaceable with one hand. I find it easy to use, easy to empty the dirty tank and easy to refill the clean tank. The mop has a self clean feature that works pretty well, but I found that it is easy enough to clean it the way I described above and decided that is rather care for it myself and allow the parts to all dry completely. I've had zero issues with mold or a moldy smell. My floors are cleaner than they have been in years and are easy to maintain after the initial clean I have them. Note, I have a corgi dog that sheds all year. The robot vacuume and the Shark mop have changed my life. I don't leave the house covered in fur anymore. Once a week I vacuume and mop, or one other day in between if we are all off work for holidays and tracking more dust and dirt. Everyone in the house is impressed with his easily the floor is kept in a very clean and neat state. Along with the robot vacuume, this mop is the best investment I've made in householt cleaning tools,ever.

makes washing floors really easy!
I'm pretty satisfied with this item. It comes with everything you need to start and get through several floor washings. It sure has made washing my floors easier! I went with this model, because I've had very good luck with the brand. There is no cord to drag with you. It stays charged long enough for me to completely wash all of my flooring (maybe 1000 sq ft). I still have power when I'm done. It self cleans the roller with a push of a button. It seems to be good quality - it should last for years.

Not bad but gross to clean
Suction is good and picks up macaroni, spaghetti mess. Easy to use and lightweight. It also has good battery power. After dumping out the food mess I tried using the self cleaning mode. It is not self cleaning like it claimed. If you don’t completely take it apart after each use it will mold. Things get stuck in all the tiny nooks and crannies but it has been super helpful.

Great and easy product to use!
Wow as someone who used to use a wet jet this is so much easier and cleans better. It was a great price and has good power that lasts for all of my floors which is about 1600 square feet. It does not however clean all the way up to the baseboard but maybe that’s normal or there’s a trick I don’t know about. For now I just clean the area next to the baseboard with a rag.

decent cleaner, but not perfect
this does a good job overall. strong suction and it makes cleaning floors quicker than using a mop and vacuum separately. i like that it is cordless and easy to move around. the downside is it drips water sometimes, and when you turn it off it can leave a little dirty water behind which is kind of annoying. not a dealbreaker but something to be aware of. overall i’d say it is alright, not perfect but it gets the job done.

But it to make your life easier
If you good hard word or acrylic floors, get this. It cleans AMAZING. Easy to use compared to mops, figs in nice and cleans itself. Takes a bit while to charge but it's worth it. The suction is great, my floors always feel super smooth after. Durable and lightweight. Does not work for carpet at all tho don't be mislead, it's just for floors. And the best part, it's cordless.
