Shark HydroVac MessMaster Corded Wet Dry Vacuum, Mop & Self-Clean, WD161

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.

This cleans dirty floors nicely I like the steam boost mode for tough stains. The vacuum part of it works on small things, nothing large. I used this in a high traffic area that is used heavily and it worked well. The scent of the detergant is pleasant and not to overwhelming. I only filled it one time during the entire process. The emptying is a little gross. Dirty water can be conveniently dumped separately but the dirt is wet and gross but in a different section that’s removed separately. Everything is easy to get to and put back together. You use very little detergent which I also appreciate. The self cleaning part takes minutes when docked and it does clean the brush very well. It seems self propelled and is very easy to move around and not heavy at all. Zero attachments but none are necessary.

UPDATE JUNE 4, 2026. tODAY IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE SUCTION AND ROLLER STILL WORKS, BUT THE CLEAN WATER RESERVOIR WILL NOT DISPERSE WATER. FOR A PRODUCT THAT ISN'T EVEN 3 YEARS OLD, THAT KIND OF SUCKS. IF YOU'VE READ MY OTHER REVIEW BELOW I ACTUALLY LOVED THIS LLITTLE MAACHINE. BUT IF IT'S GOING TO JUST DIE IN THREE YEARS, I'LL TELL PEOPLE TO SAVE THEIR MONEY BECAUSE IF A COMPANY LIKE SHARK CAN'T MAKE SOMETHING THAT LASTS FOR FOR 3 YEARS, WHY SHOULD WE GIVE THEM OUR MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S TOO LATE TO RETURN IT, BUT I AM GOING TO REACH OUT TO SHARK DIRECTLY AND SEE IF THEY WILL HELP ME SOLVE THE ISSUE. CHANGING THE FIVE STAR TO A 1 STAR IF THINGS GET FIXED AND IT WORKS AGAIN, I'LL UPDATE THE REVIEW. This is the corded version. Not sure why people are reviewing the cordless version on this page. It shuts off when the tank needs to be emptied. Empty the tank and it magically works again. The cleaner it comes with sucks. I don't recommend it. I use a tablespoon of Mr. Clean with few drops of bleach. and it's been great. I can do my entire kitchen, living and dining area with one solution mixture. I have used it on my Berber carpet, and it works very well. I just omit the bleach if I use it on the carpet. It takes less than half the time of sweeping/vacuuming and mopping. I have engineered laminate flooring, and the water dries much quicker than it did when I used a mop. I highly recommend this but I also recommend you read the instructions that come with it. The power cord is pretty long. Long enough for me to NOT have to unplug it and find another outlet to plug it in. The cleaning feature is really easy to use. Empty the discard tank. Put it back. Put the machine on it's base. Turn it on. Let it do it's thing. It will shut itself off. Empty discard tank again and rinse it out really well. I let mine dry for about an hour before putting it back just so I don't get that musky smell that floor cleaners tend to get. This is also very lightweight and self propelling so you don't have to be Hercules to use it. Great quality for the price.

So a little about our house: we foster cats with special Needs as well as have our own special needs babies. We have one that can’t make it a day without leaving us stomach contents and one that leaves us puddles. I was tired of cleaning this by hand and I went through countless mops, steam mops, old school mops etc. I love my shark vacuum so I thought why not. We have stained concrete floors too. Pros: It is easy to maneuver all over the house. The suction power is awesome and it’s super light weight with plenty of cord to get around. It does exactly what I bought it for, it can handle large debris and easily mops up liquids. The tank size is great for us perfect size. Easy to use, and it’s actually not as loud as I had imagined it was going to be. Parts are easy to access to clean. Cons: The amount of clean up on the actual machine is mind numbing! I mean yeah great sucking power but what it does is sucks it to the entry of the vacuum head and not all the way in. So be prepared to clean that a lot. I mean a lot a lot. With cat litter it tends to make a clay and clump right there at the entry to the sucking point so beware. The self cleaning feature is a joke, maybe good between like room to room but it won’t do for end of day. You have to take it a part each time and clean it before you put it away. The tray it comes with gets so dirty from the self cleaning you’ll have to clean the tray out constantly. Not great with pet hair, it doesn’t suck it up but rather spins it around the brush and clumps there to stay. Not great for stuck on messes, you just kind of have to let it pre soak then attack it. The carpet mode vs regular mode doesn’t make a difference. THE BIGGEST CON OF ALL: No edge cleaning! I mean this thing leaves a good inch to each side it can’t get no matter what you do. It’s so annoying cause not matter what you do your still gonna need to get down there with a mop rag or something to clean next to the baseboard oven refrigerator whatever it is. The no clean area is almost to the point of unacceptable it’s so large of an area to me. So don’t throw away that mop just yet. Advise: it will not replace your vacuum or mop completely but it will help with everyday cleaning if you don’t mind cleaning the machine. Buy some extra brushrollers and filters it will make things easier. Happy with it : yes Wish I would have tried a BISSELL first : yes but going to keep it anyway.

I love it! I use it every chance I get! Works well on carpet, hardwood, tile, and vinyl. And cleans easily. The suction power is true to its word, GREAT! And the cord length let's me get to multiple rooms on one outlet. Great value for your money.

I like cleaning my floors (all hard surface throughout the house) with a 3-in-1 type of vacuum/mop. I've had several brands over the years and I really thought the Shark would be the best. First off, it isn't a vacuum. It's a 3-in-1 floor cleaner so it "vacuums" and mops at the same time. Yes, there is some suction but you can't use it as a vacuum alone. It requires a concentrated solution that's diluted with water that doesn't necessarily clean, but rather it leaves a pleasant scent in the room. It does not steam clean. The brush roller continues to spin and the "vacuum" draws the dirt and water into the tank. I was able to clean almost 2 rooms before having to refill the water/concentrate tank. It is self-propelled which is a plus. However, if you want to stop cleaning for a second you have to get the vacuum in an upright position which isn't that easy to do. Now, here's the dirt. You must empty the dirty water AND clean the dirty water tank and its parts after each use. It's messy and ugly and if you have a weak stomach, forget it. You also have to clean the roller brush as well as the area where the brush attaches or you'll have a clogged mess the next time you go to use it. The solution isn't cheap and I don't get the "19 uses" the bottle. There is a docking station where you can "self-clean" the roller, but when I did that and moved on, the next floor didn't get as clean. It doesn't get as close to the edge of the room as I'd like so I usually have to use a hand vac to get up any dirt. I did buy spare rollers and filters so I cut drop in a clean one after taking out the dirty one. I bought 2 of these machines (one for downstairs, one for upstairs) and I wish I had tested one of them first before buying a 2nd one. And now I need to buy a standalone vacuum so I can vacuum first before cleaning the floor. This was a disappointment and maybe I can sell them to recoup some of the money spent.

I've owned this for just over 6 months and have used it near daily so I figure its worth sharing my thoughts. Pros: It's convenient (kinda... explained in the cons) If you spill something, this can make quick work of the clean-up. The fact that it sucks up the mess while spraying cleaning solution means there is usually no leftover residue after a few slow passes. It can handle both wet and dry spills pretty efficiently. It also handles light duty daily maintenance cleaning tasks pretty well. It combines the jobs of a broom and a mop which can save time. Cons: The reason I said "kinda" for convenience is because you need to disassemble and clean it very thoroughly after every single use. The "self cleaning" function is absolutely useless so don't even bother using it. If you use it even for the smallest task, and do not completely clean it after use, it will stink up your whole house the next time you use it. It doesn't handle dust bunnies/ pet hair very well. Even small amounts. It tends clump up in the main tube and reduce suction effectiveness. The roller doesn't provide any significant cleaning power. For any small spots of sticky/dried material, you're better off just scrubbing and wiping up with a rag. You'll spend way too much time going over the same area with this otherwise. The front facing LED lights began flickering after the first 2-3 months and then completely stopped working shortly after that. The vacuum will often shut off saying the dirty water tank is full when it is nowhere near the fill line and won't turn back on until you have dumped and rinsed out the tank. Overall, I'd say that for light duty use, this can still be convenient and helpful, but I feel like there are other options out there that might do a much better job.

It works very well, it can both vacuum and wash, and most importantly, it saves water. It can clean 2000 square feet in less than 30 minutes.

Beim Waschen bleibt zu viel Wasser zurück.Das Kabel der Pumpe ist nicht für Europa ausgelegt; ich musste einen Adapter kaufen.
