I have two: 1. Dyson stick vacuum to wiz around the house, under furniture for those in between cleans. 2. Bissell Pet Wet & Dry corded stick vacuum for the deep clean. Its super powerful as it doesnt rely on a battery and it vacuums and steams at the same time.
I have qrevo that vacuums and mops most days (I have a dog who sheds like crazy and tracks in mud) and about once a week I use Bissell pro wet dry. Bissell IMHO works great. Before qrevo I was having to Bissell most days
I'm team corded vacuum for shedding. We just have a basic Bissell pet pro and it works for our aussie and border!
My basic ass Bissell pet pro is totally fine 3+ years later with a border collie, a aussie/husky mix, two cats, and rural living with A LOT of dirt. I replace the belt when it snaps. Tile floor w/ three carpet bedrooms.
If you mostly have carpets I use the bosses pet pro vacuum, it has those super fast rotating bristles and seems to get hairs that are caught super deep in the carpet out. It’s kind of a pain in the ass to use but monthly I pull it out (it’s also a wet vac) and clean the carpets and there’s so much less hair. It is definitely not for daily use though!
Hi everyone, I currently have a bissel crosswave wet + dry hoover mop but it keeps getting clogged the second that one of my dogs hairs looks at it the wrong way. It’s just not got the suction power for what I need I don’t think. My partner and I both work in agriculture - we usually come home covered in dirt and occasionally straw/ hay etc. The kitchen + living room is hard floors and the stairs and both upstairs are carpeted. We also have a dog that sheds like nobody’s business. Does anyone have any suggestions for a vacuum that is industrial enough to survive our house? Ideally I’m looking for cordless or lightweight as our house is a 3 story townhouse with 2 sets of stairs so would like it to be easy and light enough to move around. I’m considering the VAX lift out pet so if anyone’s got any experience with that, that would be great! Ideally as budget friendly as possible. \- thanks everyone
I have stick vacuums that are for pets. I recently purchased a Bissell from Walmart for around $60. My requirements were: no HEPA filter (an on going expense), a bag (to actually contain what the vacuum pulls off the floor/carpet), and a cord (for powerful suction). The difference in the cleanliness of my floors is amazing. A battery can't complete with an outlet for producing power suction. It has a couple of attachments.
I avoid work if possible. After a couple of years with cordless, I decided I'm willing to do the work (that is, paying attention to where the vacuum cord is and moving it as needed) to have a cleaner floor. Use attachments to clean smaller places and keep an eye on the cord.
I've been using the Bissell CrossWave for like 2 years now and it hits most of your boxes. Not cordless though which kinda sucks but the cord is pretty long. The self-cleaning cycle is decent and it's way cheaper than Dyson. Only downside is it's a bit heavy when the tank is full but still manageable
I have a Hoover Streamline corded and I have used the Bissell Crosswave corded. I hate vacuum-mop combos. If you use it as intended to vacuum and mop at the same time it doesn't clean your floors as thoroughly as if you dry vacuum first and then mop. Vac-mops have so much cleanup after every use, run cleaning cycle, wipe down the machine, wash and dry the parts, or you risk getting mold and odors. The brushrolls are all very soft so they can mop but they won't clean grout like your Oreck Orbiter. Compared to a spray mop or a regular mop, a vac-mop is a lot of maintenance. However your current routine of vacuum, orbiter, then mop, sounds like a fair bit of maintenance cleanup too. If you want to get a vac-mop as a mop replacement, it will mop effectively but not deep scrub. I would avoid any cordless vac-mops with fixed batteries. You can see lots of Tineco users on the sub having problems within 0-2 years and then they are not repairable and Tineco's warranty tries to send owners used/refurbished machines as replacements. I have used steam mops, spray mops, and vac-mops. My favorite is the Bissell SpinWave corded spray mop. It's kind of like a mini orbiter with a spray bottle. I dry vacuum first and then use the SpinWave, it mops very well even doing the edges well. It's quiet and cleanup is a breeze. I machine wash the mop pads with my towels and empty any unused cleaning solution. If you need more mopping capacity just slap on some fresh pads for more mopping. You can use scrubbing pads if you need more oomph. It won't deep scrub like the orbiter but for routine mopping I really like it. I have a reusable microfiber spray mop for spot cleaning or for mopping a single room. Hope that helps.
All of the combination vacuum-mops really fall short of the promise of vacuuming and mopping at the same time. If you use a vac-mop without vacuuming first you can get mud smeared on the edges of the floor and in the crevices, you also get hair and debris stuck in several places in the vac-mop. They are really not designed to pickup lots of hair or debris or dirt. If you dry vacuum your floors first, then a vac-mop works ok as a mop. I think they require a lot of maintenance after each use. Washing and drying all the parts. The Mova will dry the brushroll but you will still need to wipe down debris that gets stuck behind the brushroll. I don't recommend any cordless vacuum or vac-mop that has a fixed battery. Batteries wear out and fail. Some of the cheaper brands have battery failure in 1 year. If you cannot replace the battery the whole machine is junk. Sebo makes great vacuums but they do not make any mops. If you are happy with dry vacuuming your hard floors with your Dyson you could get a vacuum-mop for the mopping portion. Currently the only corded vac-mops I recommend are the corded Bissell CrossWave and corded Hoover Streamline. Hoover makes a cordless version with removable/replaceable batteries called the Hoover Onepwr Streamline. I also really like the corded Bissell SpinWave, this is just a mop, no vacuum. Some people criticize the SpinWave for not being able to absorb lots of liquid, but if you are cleaning several rooms and you need more absorbency, you can put on another set of mop pads to extend the floor cleaning capacity. The maintenance for this mop is emptying the solution bottle and machine washing the mop pads. Hope that helps.
There are vac/mops that vacuum while you mop like the Bissell Crosswave and Tineco iFloor combos. These mostly only mop and cannot dry vacuum floors, carpets, or do anything above the floor. Among the cordless vac/mops I only recommend machines with removable and replaceable batteries because the battery is such a common failure and wear item. The Hoover Onepwr Streamline and Ryobi Swift Clean are the only vac/mops that are decent and have removable batteries. The Dyson V9 with the Submarine mop attachment is a dry cordless stick vacuum good for all around vacuuming with a mop attachment. The mop attachment mops but doesn’t vacuum at the same time so you need to dry vacuum first and then mop. Vac/mops require a lot of cleanup after each use. Dyson’s submarine also is quite messy and requires a lot of cleanup after each use. Personally I would choose a decent cordless stick vacuum like a Dyson V8 or a LG CordZero and get a good manual mop like a O’Cedar Spin Mop or a good reusable spray mop. Both mop better than the Submarine and are less cleanup than a vacuum/mop. There are lots of choices. Hope that helps.
