Shark HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner Grey WD210UK | with Antimicrobial Brush-Roll & Odour-Neutralising Multi-Surface Solution, Self-Cleaning, Vacuums & Mops Wet & Dry Messes

I always rely on reviews to guide me through a purchase of this kind, so here's my experience. I've got quite a large area of stone floor to keep clean and with two labradors, it needs doing regularly. Prior to this purchase, it needed a vacuum, followed by a manual mop, which takes quite a while and is also is pretty taxing. The Shark does a really good job of performing both tasks, simultaneously. I went for the cordless version and for the money, I'm very happy. I didn't find it noisy and it's both light and manoeuvrable. I guess I should have expected the vacuum aspect to be good, but it really is very effective indeed. The mopping function is also pretty good, especially if you do the floors regularly. One thing to be aware of, is it doesn't lie flat to go right under sofas and furniture. A few quick practical bits; the assembly takes 10 seconds - slot the handle in and place the unit on it's charger. The fresh water/cleaning solution container, runs out 3/4 through cleaning my floors, but takes a few seconds to refill and you're off again. The battery lasts long enough, which is the main thing. Cleaning the unit after use is quick and simple. The reviews are correct regarding the fact the mop doesn't get right to the edge, but it's not a deal breaker and I suspect a very occasional manual mop, will be a good idea. One more thing... I looked at these gadgets for ages. There were some with apps, digital displays, bells and whistles, for £500+. I was put off by stories of reliability issues, problems getting service and parts etc. Having had a very good Shark vacuum, I was confident in the quality, back-up and spares situation, so am happy with my choice.

Purchased this as well as the Shark Stratos IZ420UKT cordless vacuum. We have mostly hard linoleum covered floors, wanted a better way to mop and clean. This cleans the floors so much better than standard mopping. The floor dries very quickly, within a couple of minutes. The battery lasts long enough to be able to clean all of our floors, 3 rooms worth. It is very impressive to see how much filth this picks up judging from the dirty water tank at the end. Love that it constantly uses clean water to clean with dirty water collected in separate tank. Both clean water and dirty water tanks are very easy to remove. Very easy to empty and clean the dirty water tank. Very easy to fill the clean water tank. Was very easy to set up. Very easy to maintain. Came with it’s own charging station and try it sits on when not in use. Slight negative is it does not get right up to edge of floor by walls but about 1cm away. Not a problem for me given it otherwise works so well. I highly recommend as this makes cleaning and mopping so much faster and gets floor so much cleaner.

I love that it vacuums & cleans the floor at the same time - been waiting for something like this for a long time. I like that it propels across the floor which makes it feel lightweight, so no heavy pushing/dragging about. Battery strength is really good, its never ran out of power yet when using. It's ideal for a quick clean around but I'm not sure on performance on a more heavily soiled floors as it does 'miss' areas, it's not edge to edge & leaves strange 'streaky' lines. The water canisters are similar to what you find on more upmarket spray mops, which means I'm not convinced the rrp price is justified, as the appliance is rather gimmicky. Overall though, I'm happy with it. I hope it stands the test of time to match the price as my last 'good' vacuum was only £60!

Only used this a couple of times. We have a decently sized tiled kitchen/diner and passageway. Up until now we've been cleaning it with a combination of a mop and a Shark Steamer. We've always found that no matter how many times you clean the floor, the map water or steamer mop is always dirty. So, we got this Hydrovac. Here's some positives I've found so far; - Easy to use - Fairly light - Battery lasts long enough to do the floor area we have - It doesn't get the floor too wet, so it dried more quickly - when we've used a mop or steamer, the floor has always been relatively wet afterwards and picks up footprints easily. - the floor looks cleaner for longer, I don't know if this is down to the solution supplied with it, but even after a couple of days, our tiles still 'look' clean. - Because you see the dirty water (like you do when you clean a carpet), you feel like the dirt has been lifted from the floor rather than simply spread around. It's probably in my head, but I 'feel' the floor is cleaner. - Quicker than using a mop - Quicker than using the steamer, and required less effort. - Easy to clean when you're finished - although we've always used it on a vacuumed floor I can't comment on how well it picks up bits from the floor. We have a Robovac that vacuums the floor daily so there's generally very few bits to pick up. The odd bit is has picked up and been caught in the basket and separated from the water. Overall, it's a good product, but it's more of a nice to have rather than a game changer.

This is one of the worst products I've ever bought. It literally does nothing, it can't actually hoover and the wet brush just spreads dirt around, you see it just spread streaks of filth everywhere. It's a nightmare to clean. It has no suction power and you see all the flakes just spat back out onto the floor. Literally you would save so much time just hoovering and mopping, this makes both those things harder, all for 10x the price. It genuinely is the worst product I've ever bought, the people who made this should be utterly ashamed.

Game changer for me. Saves so much time, hoovers mops and polishes floors in 1 go. Handles my cat hair no problems as he sheds allot. Easy to operate and clean. Doesn’t leave streak marks, floor is dry in no time and I can do my whole flat ( 100m2) with still plenty of charge left. Love the smell of the cleaning fluid and the place smells super clean after use. Already had a few comments about how clean my floor looks and smells! I clean it after every use ( just my preference) so would recommend purchasing an extra brush roll and filter so you can insert whilst others are drying. Removing the parts to clean is super simple and takes no time at all. Don’t normally write reviews but this deserves it! Brilliant product

Waited a good few months before reviewing this so I could be fair. Firstly, the device itself is good, like really good, will even remove stubborn stains from tiles if you hold the rotating head over the stain. It picks up things like cereal, pet hair and general debris and mops as advertised. It cleans very well and the leaves the place looking really clean. It dries super quick even in the winter months. Battery life is good and the self clean feature is great. So why the negative review? Well it's expensive for a start. There's some really frustrating aspects to it such as the devices inability to clean/hoover close to kitchen surfaces leaving about 2 inches that then require hoovering and or mopping afterwards?! At that point it would be faster to just hoover then mop. The device itself must be cleaned after every single use... I can't stress that enough. If you leave it for just a couple of days it gets mouldy and stinks like wet dog (I don't have a dog) The roller itself sometimes doesn't dry properly and again stinks like wet dog. Making g your house smell really bad and smears the tiles. This takes away from the convenience USP as to why I brought the hydrovac in the first place. I was looking for something to whip around the kitchen after work that would get rid of any debris and clean at the same time daily to just keep on top of things with minimal effort. I now find myself using it, then hoovering around my kitchen surfaces, then mopping around the surfaces and finally then cleaning the hydrovaca dirty tank and filters. It would be faster to just hoover and mop. Which is crazy. The solution provided in fairness did prevent the smell in the initial week of use but at £15 a time and with it lasting around a week in a busy household. £60 a month just isn't feasible so I switched to zoflora on there which works quite well but god forbid you forget to empty that waste tank and you're in trouble! (When you're using for convenience trust me, it's easier said than done) tLDR Pros- good battery life, good self cleaning head, cleans well and great suction. Cons - gets smelly, can be difficult to clean, doesn't reach into corners or crevaces well and isn't a replacement for hoovering and mopping just an expensive additional product.

I thought my floors were pretty clean until i used this for the first time - the dirty water tank was, embarrassingly, almost black. The battery charge and clean water tank are enough to do my entire 1 bedroom flat without stopping and theres enough clean water left over to run the self clean cycle which left the roller and it's enclosure looking brand new again. It makes my whole flat smell amazing too. What i was most surprised by was the floors drying time - by the time i'd mopped to the lounge door the first half of the room was dry already. I was able to mop, put the machine on self clean and move everything back in to place straight away. I'm really glad i bought it. The only downside is that you can't just hoover, it will only vac and mop as it wont operate without water in the tank so I'll have to hang on to the Dyson, which I had planned to sell on. 10 out of 10 🙂
