   I have dark floors and three dogs, I have a vacuum robot and still use this Bissell every 2-3 days. I have a thing for clean floors and vacuums are my love language!
   I had a tineco that I thought was really good but when it died, I decided to try something else. After research, I went with this because of the reviews.
   Having a cord isn’t a problem, I grew up vacuuming with a cord so just sling it over your shoulder and carry on. And I feel like the cord does give it a bit more power.
   You do have to clean it thoroughly after each use and the “chunky stuff” separator is yucky and you will touch stuff you didn’t want to, but you’re cleaning so you should be alright.
   I highly recommend it. Sorry, no Pic of the product. I figured you kno what it looks like so you get to see a clean floor instead. Do yourself a favor and get one.

   Works great very good suction. Be careful and use the plastic base that comes with it. I let it sit on a hardwood spot and it chewed through the hardwood finish. It left a white spot on the wood it even ate through the natural hardwood colors so use the plastic base to protect your floor. I can see why it cleaned so well but shocked that leaving it sit unprotected with a damp brush ate into the very tough hardwood. Happy with the device but learned a lesson the hard way!

   Update 12/09/23: I’ve included pictures of our tile floor types and they get cleaner with every cleaning! We now have a dog in our household along with 4 kitties and 4 humans, so TONS of fur and kitty litter, and human messes lol! I have been using ‘It’s Naturally Clean’ floor cleaner for all types of flooring and it’s awesome! It only takes one small capful per clean water reservoir and does a phenomenal job! It’s one I discovered on EWG’s website which is for sustainable, safe product information verified unbiased and is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transparency and health for all inhabitants of Earth, including non-humans.

   I still use the Hydrosteam every two weeks and am down to 2-3 clean tank refills and twice as many empty bin refills. I use the automatic clean function 2 times after each use and then thoroughly rinse everything, including the very front of the unit’s head where the roller resides, quickly under hot water in my laundry sink. I recently noticed a buildup of kitty litter beginning inside the suction tube, which is to be expected as I don’t vacuum nor sweep prior to using this machine and that is the purpose of kitty litter-to absorb moisture. So I used hot water to flush the tubing from where the dirty water reservoir would reside and ran the water through until it came clean and I’ve had no problems but will update if anything changes 👍🏽 I also recently brought this to my friend’s house where she has dark hardwood flooring throughout her 3900 sq. ft. house and every little speck of anything shows on it. She wanted to test it out and is also buying one because she was so impressed as was I and there were no streaks. We used the hard floor setting on her wood floors and the steam function on her tiled areas in bathrooms and laundry room. She was wearing a somewhat new pair of Nike shoes that’s she’s worn for a few months inside and outside, and after the cleaning of the first section of her floors, her shoes ‘squeaked’ on those areas-both tile and wood-but none of the others in her house and she said “I now understand what the saying squeaky clean means” lol! Needless to say she was impressed and is also going to buy the Naturally it’s Clean Floor Cleaner to use in her new Bissell Hydrosteam! *End Update*

   This is an almost perfect cleaning device! We have a 4 person household with 4 cats which includes lots of fur, food particles, and litter tracking. I do a full house (3000 sq. ft.) clean every two weeks and more than half of our house is tile and the remainder is high pile carpet.

   I thought purchasing this I would still have to use my Dyson vacuum to vacuum around the edges and corners of the tile floors. Fortunately this does not need to occur! I am truly amazed at the engineering that went into this tool and am still in awe of the suction power and steam mopping capabilities!

   The ceramic tile in our house has very wide but deep grout circa 2003 and was professionally cleaned upon moving into it in 2012. Over the years it has built up discolored residues in heavily used areas of the house mostly in the kitchen around the sink, dishwasher, and stove where the grout is very dark and dirty. This vac mop visibly and noticeably made a positive improvement upon the first use as I could literally see the grime being sucked up! I’ve used this twice so far and am so happy with my purchase.

   I’ve owned and own several Bissell products over the years-Big Green Carpet cleaner (which I sent to my mom a few years ago since she’s older and would rent carpet cleaners every few months to clean her expensive and almost 40 year old Persian rugs so I wanted to alleviate that taxing burden for her), steam mop, Pro Pet Revolution Carpet Cleaner, and pet mess hand wet/dry vacuum which looks like what some may know as a dust buster from back in the day). All these products are awesome except that the quality of the steam mop wasn’t up to my experience with Bissell standards that I’m accustomed. The steam mop was $70-80 new but I bought it used on Amazon in 12/2022 and it began leaking a couple of months ago which is a common problem with that model based upon reviews. My assumption is that you get what you pay for more often than not and same saying applies to Bissell.

   I store this Hydrosteam vac in the garage next to an outlet for the self-cleaning function which is loud and much louder than the actual cleaning functions. The self-cleaning capability is also awesome and works very well. I do it twice after use as per instructions and used the brush roll cleaning sample solution included, and follow the instructions for cleaning and storing except that I allow everything to thoroughly dry for several days before reassembly.

   This vac mop is much quieter than I expected and much quieter than my Dyson vac which is a huge plus for me and the kitties though they still don’t like it! I look forward to a future when human machines and motors have very little to nonexistent sound!

   The cons of this product for me are minor and do not warrant a return for something that saves me much time and energy with cleaning obligations. The cons so far are:

   1) I wish the cord was slightly longer and that the cord holder clip held it in place a little tighter. I had more issues with the cord dislodging during my first use so that could be due to user error; however, I was more mindful of trying to keep it in place during my second use

   2) The size of this unit is great and it’s very lightweight and the maneuverability is impressive! The only place I cannot use this for my tile is around 1 toilet (3 total toilets in house) on one of the sides nor around the backside of any of the toilets. But I’ve just modified my cleaning regiment to use my sponge to clean these areas during bathroom cleaning.

   3) I wish the wastewater/dirty water tank had a larger capacity. Actually it would be better if both tanks had larger capacities, but the clean water tank capacity has allowed two cleaning passes per one emptying of the dirty water tank. However, I do hold the trigger the majority of the time I’m using this vac mop and a trigger lock would also be a nice addition. I was dumping the dirty water tank into the toilet but this was messier for me so I now just use the kitchen sink with garbage disposer. I give the dirty water tank a rinse after each dumping except I don’t rinse the filter, which isn’t actually that dirty even at the end, until I’m finished cleaning. Most of the dirty material ends up in the dirty water tank plastic sifting part which I will empty into the garbage can opposed to garbage disposal sink if it’s really full of mostly cat fur which occurs after the kitchen and the kitties ADU area.

   For more than half of 3000 sq. ft. of use with this vac mop, for which I use the steam setting the entire time, I empty and refill the tanks 3-4 times for clean water tank and 6-8 times for the dirty water tank. I was using Bissell’s Natural Pet Floor Cleaner for Crosswave machine which I had purchased for my Bissell Revolution Pet Carpet Cleaner because I don’t like all of the excess, unnecessary, and unhealthy chemicals used in many cleaning products these days. I’m going to try a truly ‘natural’ floor cleaning product next time I clean with this unit and will update my review based upon that experience and also provide pictures of my tile floors. I was so excited to leave a review for this lol because it is really awesome and I’m so impressed overall! Oh last point to mention is that I do have to make a few passes over some dried on gunk usually food related and/or pet related but this unit still saves me soooo much time and energy. I’ve found the most efficient solution to clean these dried on filths is to make a pass over it, holding the trigger, and letting the cleaning solution soak while I clean around it and then I’ll come back to it and clean it up which sometimes does take more than once. I’ll also clean these spots from different angles depending on the grooves and fissures in the tiles.

   I have recommended this cleaning unit to everyone I know because it is such a beneficial addition to my cleaning routine and really provides a deep thorough cleaning with ease of use and also mostly cleans itself at least for the brushroll which would be the most time consuming part if manual cleaning was necessitated

   I use this in my room that has 18” tile floors where I keep the cat food and cat litter box. But I have a cat that would rather pee and poop on the floor than use the cat litter box even though I’ve used different litter. Anyway short story long, I still have to scoop the poop off the floor with a garden size square point shovel but then I had to use a steam floor mop that you had to remove the stick on pad after use which meant that I had to put my hands on a messy pad and install a new pad, usually going through 3 or 4 pads at a time and then I had to put them in the washer and clean them. Went online and saw this so I decided to give it a try. This machine is awesome especially with the steam mixing with the solution plus it vacuums it all up. After using this machine several times I noticed that the dirty water container fills up with about 2 inches of dirty water then the float shuts the vacuum down to where you have to empty it. If you have a large mess to clean up this gets annoying after awhile so what I did to fix this dilemma was to remove the top of the canister that houses the filer and I removed the float which is what lifts up to stop the suction when it get to about 2 inches. Once I removed the float and reinstalled the top to the canister I was able to use the machine for a lot longer without having to constantly keep emptying the dirty water. I now can get about 6 inches of water before emptying it. Of course that means that you are going to have to watch it to see how high the water gets before emptying but it sure saves a lot of time between emptying.

   Used this fresh out of the box as soon as it was delivered. My husband and I are both teachers- with four cats. We have zero time and zero energy to keep up with our floors- so something like this that makes it easy to vacuum and mop at the same time is an immediate winner.

   Pros:
   – easy to use, just like a vacuum.
   – comes with trial cleaners, which don’t smell horrid like other brands
   -plug in! Don’t have to bother with making sure it’s charged
   – clear and basic buttons. Easy to figure out right out of the box. (Directions were also included)
   – lights the area you are cleaning. I’ve never had this before- I love it.
   – small enough to do stairs easy, but big enough to make a larger room doable no probs.

   Cons:
   – it’s loud! Just like an old school 2000’s vacuum.
   – heavy (but still easy to push and pull)
   – MUST be cleaned out after each use( but this is SO easy to do)
   – have to work slower than using a vacuum
   – small dirty water tank. (It does make a different sound when it is full- so if you are paying attention you won’t have the issue of it spilling out.)
