Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this at an overstock-type store, as I hadn't seen it at my local Target. I got it for $25 and it is WELL worth it!
I use it daily in my kitchen. I have one very messy child (autistic), another child, and a dog (and the husband!). I love this for cleaning up before, or after, dinner. My dog frequently gets into our trash and makes a mess on the floor. This is wonderful for that!
I'd been wanting a hard floor machine cleaner/vacuum for quite some time, and I'm glad I waited for this! I love how it's rechargeable (it's never died during use) so there is no cord. It's also light, which is great. I'm 5'2" and it's just the right height for me. I could see how someone over 5'5" may have an issue.
This is *not* meant for all-over house cleaning, as some have mentioned, nor is it meant for really big messes (as in if you don't sweep/mop your floor for a long time...I won't mention names!). It's more for daily quick work. It is also *not* made to "suction" up the wet cleaner...not sure where the reviewer got that idea. I actually LOVE not having a wet suction, as all the reviews of other, more expensive "flip type" cleaners said the dirty tanks were a big mess. I love how I can just pop the pads in the laundry and rotate the two. I've found replacement microfiber pads made for other machines at both Target (Method brand) and Ace Hardware.
I do NOT use the Bissell floor cleaner it came with - it does make a nice, shiny floor *very* dull. Instead I use my Armstrong floor cleaner. Any floor cleaner will do. I do not have issues with wet leaks. I do remove the pad, if it's the least bit wet, when storing, or it will mildew it and the floor. If it's a new, clean pad, I can leave it on there.
I can suck up pretty large things. I sometimes have to pick up the machine (but it's light) as I'm drawing it back when vacuuming, because if the pad is wet, it will drag through it. I don't find this to be a big issue.
It's so light and easy, my 10 y.o. can do it and he loves it so much better than using the sponge mop.
I haven't yet used it on bathroom floors, but I'm sure I'll have good results with it.
Oh, and the suction is great, and the dry, dirty tank is very easy to empty. I think the reviewers that said it's a problem haven't attached the tank on the machine properly - or their filter is off kilter.
This was the best mother's day present I ever rec'd!
EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention how nice this gadget gets under my cabinets. My regular vacuum won't, and it's even hard for my sponge mop. This is great, plus with the pads covering the sides, it gets stuff along the baseboards also.
I read a review where someone tried this on carpet and said it didn't work. It says right on the box it's for hard floors!
I now have 4 pads and it's nice to keep them rotated. This tool has been very helpful with family members, and the dog, tracking in mud and grass.
Customer Review: GREAT ITEM FOR INTENDED USE
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item dirt cheap so figured I had nothing to lose if it didn't work out. I have 8 cats & hardwood floors & was looking for something to help clean up the never ending bits of litter that always seem to find their way around the house. This works great for that, for dust "bunnies" & misc dust & dirt on the floors. It doesn't work on carpets & isn't intended for that use. I am also very pleased with the amt of suction considering it has a small motor & it's not a heavy-duty vacuum. The charge also lasts long enough for me to do all my work. It's also pretty darn durable bec i've knocked mine over more then once & nothing has ever broken for fallen apart. I have never had a problem with water spilling out of the canister when i invert it to place back onto the machine. i am not even sure how that could be possible if the top is on tight. for hardwood floors i use murphy wood soap & it works great! some tips: empty the dirt canister frequently & wipe off the filter inside. also check the holes in the bottom where dirt etc actually gets sucked up in. these can get clogged with stuff too large to get up inside. i use one of those wire pipe cleaner type brushes you can buy for a buck at a dollar store. also, it doesn't hurt every once in awhile to take the bottom off and give the unit a good cleaning. just take out the screws, it's not difficult. if you want good results you need to do some minor cleaning & maint once in awhile. as usefull as it is, i do have a few complaints: first, if you do a good vacuuming then want to wash the floors i always have to put on a fresh pad as the one just used gets dirty from vacuuming & if you use it to then wash floors you are just pushing that dirt across your floors. switching just takes a second but the pads are not that cheap so it means you need a decent supply. i'd like to see them sold in larger units then just 3 with a better price. at least a pack of 6, maybe even 12. also, when vacuuming, the suction holes are only in the front so unless you get it all up going forward you can just end up pushing the dirt back at you. it would be nice to have suction holes in the front & back to hopefully alleviate this problem. other than that i am very happy & mine is getting lots of use.
