Overall, I like this floor cleaner

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2025

I will probably always think of this as my new "vacuum" cleaner in spite of the fact that there is no vacuum and no suction involved. I'm trying to learn to say "floor cleaner" when I talk about it.

First, let me say, don't fight it. When you turn it on, it takes off in a forward motion. You have to pull it back to yourself... I suppose it's safe to say it's self-propelled. That takes just a little getting used to. And it's much heavier than the usual upright cordless sweeper. If you have dirt or debris up close to the base of a wall, you can't simply raise the front a little to suck up the dirt. There is no suction. You have to learn to maneuver it around and clean the area sideways rather than head on. I haven't mastered corners just yet but I'm getting better at it. Getting under furniture is a bit of a chore because it is a thick cleaning head and simply doesn't fit. It runs very quiet. Didn't even disturb my dog's nap and she normally hides when I drag out the old vacuum sweeper.

Before turning it on, you fill the lower section of the tank with clean water and a bit of the cleaner provided. And then the fun starts! It's fascinating to see the level of clean water go down slowly and that of the dirty water rising in the upper tank. And when you've finished, don't forget to empty the "dust bin". Now you can really see the magic. Clean water is gone, dirty water fills the upper part of the tank and all the dust, dirt and most of the pet hair is perfectly dry in that little tray! Wow! How do they do that?

Another bit of magic is that as you clean your floor, you are sweeping, mopping and drying all at once. And it does a remarkably good job.

If you have damage on your floors, sharp or rough spots, etc., the sponge will catch on that and over time it will tear up the sponge. Don't get close to throw rugs or other cloth items on the floor.. the edges will wrap round and round the brush roller.

The thing I like best is that it is all in one.. sweep, mop and dry. For an old lady who tires easily, this lets me get the place cleaned up in one pass. Just so much easier than trying to sweep it all up, then chase after the dog to clean up the long hair she shed when she walked across the room and after all that, still needing to mop.
