    I love my shark floor mop, and vacuum. I got a cordless one so that I could go around my whole house quickly. The cleaning solution is excellent and has an anti-odor of component to it. My floors have never looked better and I’ve never been happier keeping my floors clean.

    Perfect for dogs, kids, and tile floors!

    Infiniti618 - 16 days ago

    THE CLEAR WINNER! After purchasing two different Crosswaves and one Tineco, I thought that my dream of having an efficient and user-friendly mop/vac was lost. My entire first floor is wood and tile, and it was such a chore to vacuum and then mop by hand. I also have double-coated dogs and a young kid. Enter the Hydrovac, which not only solved all the problems I had with the other models, but exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly easy to setup and use, but also manages the deeper grout on the tile floors SO well. No puddling of water, no streaking - just a smooth and clean floor. I love how it separates the dog hair and crumbs from the dirty water, and it takes maybe 3 minutes at the end of each use to fully clean. The solution smells amazing, but isn't too strong; and, the self-cleaning cycle actually does the job. 10/10 stars if I could, and I wish I'd bought it sooner!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got to use it on an apartment I’m moving into! Went in cold, no vacuuming beforehand. It was very dusty and this hydrovac held up. I was able to just barely complete the entire 1 bedroom apartment on one full charge. You can see just how much grime it picked up in the picture. It’s light and easy to push around which I appreciate as my arm doesn’t get tired. However it struggles to get corners. Leaves a 1 inch margin on every wall. The self cleaning cycle (shown in video) didn't really catch all the dust on the roller. Disposing of the dirty water and dust is a bit messy. Not sure how it'll hold up as i shed a lot of hair. Overall great for a touch-up cleaning here and there, maybe not for a deep cleaning.

    I have several Shark and Ninja products and love them but this one not so much. It’s easy enough to use but you can’t clean along the edges of the wall. When pulling backwards the brush roll doesn’t spin. To make it suck even more little blue fibers are left all over the floor. Cleaning the brush roll didn’t solve this problem. It will vacuum up debris from the floor but doesn’t pick up pet hair very well. Very sad that I spent this money on something that doesn’t work as expected. It literally just sits there now and takes up space.

    I got this right before Christmas and hated it. It didn't get close enough to the baseboards, the handle did not go down far enough to get under furniture, and the charge didn't last long enough to finish 2 rooms. I returned mine and do not recommend.

    I bought in September and do not like at all. I still have to swiffer mop to get a close clean under kitchen cabinets. Also, I have to clean out water each time, making the process longer and messier when I was trying to make my job easier by getting this. I have to clean the vacuum/mop brush manually after each use or it is incredibly stinky for the next use with just the regular clean cycle sitting on the charging pad. It leaves water streaks and does not have a sufficient vacuum to clean my short pile area rug. Also, my area rug is now ruined from the amount of water it uses.
