Shark VACMOP Cordless Vacuum & Spray Mop, Gray, VM252

Love this little wet/dry vac. It’s quick and easy to use and very convenient. Sucks up just about anything. Battery charge last long enough to do the whole top floor of the house. Only thing I have issue with are the pads. There strip in the middle of the pad that seems to always come off while cleaning. Nevertheless, it doesn’t affect the floor or the cleaning.

This is the 2nd time I have purchased this VacMop. Absolutely love it! Replacement pads can be a bit pricey but because of the time and energy this vacmop saves me, it is well worth the extra cost. It is lightweight, glides smoothly on my texture laminant floor and saves me and my bad back from carrying a heavy water bucket around. The only thing I do not like about it is when I use it under furniture. Half of The mop pad flips under itself due to the handle not laying perfectly flat. It's no big deal to flip the pad back in place. The vacmop came with a bottle of cleaning solution that I am not real pleased with. There are warnings about the chemicals but I see nothing about it being safe for pets. Will be using different solution even thow direction recommend to only use their product. Overall, I highly recommend. Good quality, easy to use, lightweight and worthy of the money spent.

I’m really impressed with the Shark VACMOP Cordless Vacuum & Spray Mop. It makes cleaning hardwood floors so much easier by combining vacuuming and mopping in one convenient device\. Instead of sweeping first and then mopping, it quickly picks up dust, crumbs, pet hair, and everyday debris while also cleaning up spills and sticky messes. The cordless design makes it easy to move from room to room, and the lightweight feel is especially helpful for quick daily cleanups. I also appreciate how well it works on hardwood floors without leaving them overly wet. The spray feature uses just the right amount of cleaning solution, helping the floors dry quickly and look clean and polished\. If you have hardwood floors, this is definitely a product you need. It saves time, reduces the number of cleaning tools you need, and makes regular floor maintenance much less of a chore

I struggled between 3 or 4 stars and ultimately gave it 4, here's my process, after researching for several hours with Alexa comparing various wet/dry vacs, I ultimately settled on this one because delivery time (same day), price ($59) and features (wet/dry disposable pads). Delivery didn't happen and had to cancel and re-order, once I received unit, it was a bit overpriced as it only runs for 10-15 minutes depending on whether you're just vacuuming or if you have to use spray feature as buttons don't with simultaneously, you have to stop vacuuming, press spray button, stop and then press vacuum button to continue. If you have hand or mobility issues, this is definitely an issue although for the time it runs, you'll get a break in between to recover as you wait for machine to recharge again. 1st time I used only on vacuum, I was able to do light vacuuming around furniture in sunroom (tile floor), living/dining rooms (hardwood) and kitchen (tile). The 2nd time I used the mop/vacuum combined and due to stopping to spray then vacuum, I was only able to do sunroom and 1/4 of the living room. Because they only give you 4 disposable pads that have a unique design where dust goes that gets vacuumed in and pad sweeps leftover debris, you can't just use any pad, I decided to purchase separately reusable pads, thus increasing the overall price, although you'd still have to spend more money anyways since it only includes 4 disposable pads to begin with. Things I love about this unit is the lightweight and compact design, the suction is great for such a small unit and its convenient non corded design makes it much easier to maneuver with its pivoting head that gets around furniture, corners and obstacles. This unit will work for the time being until I'm able to purchase something that'll last longer (even if it's corded), comes with reusable pads and I'll even take dirty/clean water canisters that I don't mind cleaning myself.

**Not before and after pictures, just pictures of our floor for context** Lightweight/portable, great suction, love this thing!!!! With a 2800 sq ft house, full time job, a messy kid and a cat, our floors have not been able to be a priority for the 6 years we've lived in our house, unfortunately. We have a very old laminate that I love the color of but really needs to be replaced. It is scuffed and has no shine whatsoever, but because of the size of our house (and all the other updates we've prioritized) we haven't been ready to pay for it. For the most part, it's fine for a while (as shown in second picture), but where the light comes in through the windows and doors (first picture), you can see every single imperfection--and spot of dirt, crumb, lint, cat hair, and footprint! Everything on the floor shows up because of the color, so there is usually a trail of all of the above, from the side door that we use to go in and out to the kitchen, near the trashcan, near the cat food, under the edge of the couch, etc etc. I do A LOT of spot sweeping with a little Dirt Devil cordless handvac that I use almost daily just so that the floors don't look DISGUSTING at all times. My floors are not CLEAN most of the time (yes, I do sweep/vac and mop when I can but in this household you'd have to do it daily to be "clean" and it takes at least an hour to do a good job) but I hate looking around daily and just seeing all the dirt/crumbs etc in the light, so I spot sweep/vac. Anyway, using a tiny handvac to spot vac every day seemed really inefficient (plus battery life doesn't usually last long enough on my handvac, about 10 mins) hence, my purchase of the vacmop. When it arrived, in testing it out I went ahead and did the whole main part of the house--giant open living room/kitchen/dining room and hallway (probably 1000 sq ft total), both vacuuming and mopping. I wasn't anticipating the vacmop being able to handle that much space in one charge, but it did! 13 mins runtime is what is advertised and I didn't think that would do it, but it's not using battery during mopping, it squirts out a little water and then you run it over that to scrub. So vac a little area and spray, using the battery, then run it over the area you want to "mop." I did end up "mopping" this whole area, and afterward I felt like my floors were the cleanest they've been in a long time. It did take all 4 pads that came with the starter pack, but I'm not surprised at that, I usually dump my cheap knockoff robovac every 15 mins or so when I let it run. No areas in this device to worry about getting clogged or having to clean regularly-- you just toss the pad. It has a plastic area that collects the dirt and it can fill up quickly, depending on your household. When I got up this morning, I used the vacmop for just a few minutes to roam around the house, spot vac/mopping what needed to be done, and took me about 5 mins. I really think this thing will be a game changer for me, but will depend on your needs and what you want to use it for. For a whole house floor clean, I will keep using my regular Bissell Featherweight Vac (mostly just because I don't want to use 4 vacmop pads lol) and my Shark Steam Mop, for a good deep clean. But for spot cleaning, for me, this device is 5 star. About buying generic pads... I bought this device on sale for $60 but the cost of the replacement disposable pads was almost a deterrent, and figured I would just buy washable/generic ones (like I have for my steam mop). However, I don't understand how the washable ones would work without the plastic piece designed for the dry dirt. Some of them have that piece that you can empty/rinse out, but, meh. Seems a little gross to me and kind of defeats the purpose. There are generic disposable pads with the dry dirt area, just like the name brand VacMop ones, but when I looked to order the Shark ones were actually a lot cheaper than the knockoffs ($27 for 32 Shark pads, $20 for 10 generic pads). So once I used the Vacmop the first time and LOVED it, I went ahead and bought the box of 32 Shark Vacmop pads. There are smaller quantities available as well. The cleaning solution - starter pack came with one 12 oz bottle and it all fits into the device.. It was the perfect amount for the large area I cleaned, worked well, and I didn't notice a smell at all. I would buy it again if I needed to, but I have other floor cleaners here to use (and I like Pinesol and certain other floor cleaning smells) so I don't plan on buying more of that, for a while at least. Nowhere on this device does it say that any other cleaning solution can damage the device (my Shark steam mop says using anything other than water can damage it, but I do anyway without any issues), so if you have anything else that is more cost efficient/you like better, I don't think that would be a problem. I used diluted Pinesol for my little quick spot clean this morning. (Oh and as far as suction power, it got up a huge dead yellow jacket I found this morning, and no worries about clogging or anything like that because it was thrown away in the disposable pad!)

This thing is awesome. The suction is much stronger than I expected from something this lightweight, and the battery lasts long enough for the way we use it. It’s easy to maneuver, and it’s light enough that even my five-year-old can use it without struggling. Although it seems to be advertised mainly for quick touch-ups, we regularly use it to clean our entire downstairs and the upstairs tile bathrooms. It handles everyday dirt, crumbs, cat hair, and other debris very well, then makes it easy to spray and mop the same area without switching tools. The included cleaning solution also smells really nice. The scent is fresh without being overpowering, and it leaves the floors smelling clean after we’re finished. Another unexpected benefit is how quiet it is. Our cats usually disappear when the regular vacuum comes out, but this doesn’t seem to scare them.

I loved this! At first. My entire house is hardwood. I'm not a fan of how easy the spray button is to accidentally hit if i just want to vacuum. It does not stay charged long enough to do my entire 1,912 sq ft house. When I do use the mop portion, living in the country, the tiny pads get too dirty too quickly often leaving the floor looking worse than when I started. I love how well it does suck up everything, but the little amount of space available in the canister on the pads just make this thing a waste. It may work well for smaller spaces with less people and animal traffic, but it's not ideal for large families with multiple pets.

Love this vac/mop. I had a Swiffer vac for years, which I LOVED. However, it died, and they do not make those anymore. I have been on the hunt for a replacement, when I came across this little gem. I looked at it for awhile, read the reviews, and decided - what the hell. I can always return it. Pros: GREAT suction. Love the fact it will pick up kitty litter. Love the light on the vac. I have dark hardwood floors in 90% of my home and cats with dark hair. You cannot see what exactly how hairy the floor really is until the light shines on the floor, and then you realize just how badly you needed to vacuum. Love being able to throw away the pad and plastic container after vacuuming. Love the long charge. I have a 4100 square foot home, and right now the charge will last while vacuuming the downstairs and part of the upstairs. That might be 20+ minutes. The spray feature sprays a lot of solution, and it sprays a long distance. Cons: You really cannot use the mop and vac at the same time. If you vac first, then mop, whatever dirt or ick you have on the pad gets wiped all over the wet floor. If you mop first and then vac, you are still smearing hair, dirt, and whatever across the floor. Also, the solution leaves a sticky residue on the hardwood. The bottle says it is safe for hardwood, and it may be true. BUT - I used it last weekend in the kitchen after a bizarre bar-b-que sauce incident, and it left a sticky feeling. I did wipe all of the sauce up with a sponge first before I used the mop feature. The only way to get the sticky residue off the floor was to wipe down my kitchen with a wet washcloth, and then go back over the floor with the Bona. My plan is to put the Bona solution in the vac/mop after the Shark solution in it has been depleted. I am going to try the Shark solution on the tile floors in the bathroom to see if it works better on tile. I did purchase the reusable pads for when I am not ready to throw away the plastic vac container. I would love to be able to purchase just plastic part without the disposable pads, but that is not available. All in all, I am pleased and will keep the vac/mop. May purchase a second just to keep upstiars.

We had a similar piece earlier which broke after almost 2 years of use. Hence, we understand the reliability of this material. It is good and we purchased the same product again.

I really like this vac/map, it’s very practical for my home. It’s great for daily cleaning and also just quick clean ups, it’s very light and easy to carry anywhere in the house. I find the suction to be very good. I mainly use it on the areas of my home with laminate flooring, so the pads do last for a good amount of uses. For tiled areas like my kitchen, that need a deeper clean, I use this more like a broom replacement and then mop with my steam mop, it’s still great because it’s just so much faster than sweeping.

The vacuum it self is amazing quality. However, the quality they use is cheap and terrible quality. The plastic, the fabric or cotton wears out in just a few strokes of vacuum cleaner. The area or compartment that the dust and materials collected is very small. I don’t commend to buy.

So I have two Dyson stick vacs, but this is now my go-to for the uncarpeted floor. It picks up surprisingly well and I love that I'm never looking for blockages or cleaning power heads. Yes, the pads need to be purchased, but for regular cleaning I'm really only replacing about a pad per week. Well worth it for it actually picking everything up (cordlessly) and letting me wash the floor with in the same run. Been using it for several weeks and I'm very impressed so far.
