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.

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.

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.

So I went back and forth between this one and the bissel. It works great on the short "washable" rugs with low pile. On hard floors it is not so great. It leaves quite a bit of debris on the ground. It also gets stuck in the "full" sensor mode and I have no idea how we got it to stop the last time. Praying it doesn't happen again. If the sensor says it is "full" it will not run at all even if the chamber is clean and empty. I still use the broom on the hardwood and use this on the throw rugs. I'm not sure I would pay $200 again if I had known it was not great for bare floors.

I was a skeptic. This is not my kind of cleaning, but I tried it. So glad I did and it’s very useful. Pros - it’s a convenient lightweight mopping system that also vacuums. Dries quick Vacuums to the edge Picks up quite a bit of dog hair even though I sweep first Easy to operate and empty The little tank lasts for quite a bit of flooring Cons - doesn’t scrub up dry sticky spots well Doesn’t mop to the edge Seems to have a slow response on off button which causes a slight delay Wish it was wider, I have a lot of floor to cover. I would buy this again and recommend it to everyone. It doesn’t replace a good thorough scrub and mopping but it’s pretty good for most jobs. I have used it on my vinyl and tile flooring.

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.

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.

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

Ok at moment we see after a year of use

Me encanta lo ideal es limpiarla a mano siempre terminando lavar bien todo ya que es sensible a los sensores !! Estando limpi no tiene problemas un detalle es que no llega a las orillas pero no me incomoda al igual que el cable es lego y prefiero mil veces corriente de luz que pila. La potencia y durabilidad no se compara con las de pila
