Shark HydroVac MessMaster Wet Dry Corded Vacuum Cleaner, 3-in-1 Multi-Surface Vacuum Mop & Self-Cleaning System, Lightweight, Powerful Suction, for Hard Floors & Area Rugs, Navy, WD161

I recently bought the Shark HydroVac, and I’m beyond impressed! We’re in the middle of building a house, and this vacuum has handled everything—from drywall dust to small wood shavings—without breaking a sweat. I use it on our finished concrete floors, and it leaves them clean, streak-free, and looking great.At first, I noticed some bubble streaks, but that was totally user error—I had added too much concentrate. Once I corrected the ratio, the machine worked like a dream. It’s powerful, easy to maneuver, and far superior to the older models like the CrossWave I used to own. You can tell Shark has really improved the technology and design.One of the most surprising things? How quiet it is! It’s noticeably quieter than other wet/dry vacuums I’ve used, which makes cleaning feel less like a chore and more like a quick reset for the floors.Whether you’re tackling renovation mess or just keeping up with daily dust and dirt, this tool is a 10/10. Highly recommend for anyone with hard flooring or busy homes.

Easy to use & does a great job. We are a family of three with 4-dogs, 4-cats, and busy schedules. I was Swiffering daily and using a Shark Steam mop as needed and it still wasn’t cutting it. Decided to try this. Love it! Not sure if it’s a testament to how well it works or dirty our floors are but this thing is awesome! Bought extra rollers to change out after using to avoid getting sour like reported in some reviews. Rinse them and throw them in the washing machine and they do fine. Pros include: quiet compared to others I’ve had before, easy storage, cleans up easily after using , easy to remove and replace parts for cleaning, good suction power, small but ample water/soap tank & decent size tank for sucking up the water. Cons include: cord needs to be longer, leaves tracks from wheels if you aren’t careful, soap isn’t fragrant but it’s ok, leaves a little puddle if it’s left standing (like to add more water/soap or to empty tank). Definitely would recommend!

The Shark HydroVac Corded is a solid choice for anyone looking to simplify their cleaning routine. As a 3-in-1 vacuum, mop, and self-cleaning system, it delivers convenience and efficiency, especially for hard floors and area rugs. The corded design ensures consistent power, which is great for tackling larger messes without worrying about battery life.**Pros**:- The vacuum-mop combo saves time by handling wet and dry messes simultaneously.- Its self-cleaning feature keeps the brush roll fresh and odor-free, which is a thoughtful touch.- The two-tank system separates clean and dirty water effectively, ensuring hygienic cleaning.**Cons**:- The cord can be a bit restrictive for those used to cordless models.- The clean water tank might require frequent refills for larger spaces.Overall, the Shark HydroVac Corded is a reliable and efficient tool for maintaining clean floors. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of higher-end models, it gets the job done with minimal fuss. If you're looking for a practical and affordable cleaning solution, this is worth considering! 😊

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.
