Hoover - ONEPWR Streamline Cordless Hard Floor Wet Dry Vacuum

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.

I agree with a steam mop you are doing all the pushing and pulling. To reduce the amount of weight and work required, I think I will tweak my recommendations. I still think you should try the Hoover Onepwr Streamline the cordless version. It is one of the few vac-mops with replaceable batteries. Or if you have Ryobi tools and batteries, there is a Ryobi version, the Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum. I really want you to try the Bissell SpinWave Cordless #2315A. Yes, it does not have a removable battery but because it doesn't have a vacuum it uses a lot less power. The SpinWave spins counter rotating mop pads which make this mop glide with the direction the user points. It doesn't move forward and backwards really quickly, you have to take a little time to let it glide in the direction. Because the motion is different you never have to pull back against a brushroll and I think that this could make it the easiest on your arms. You can get soft mop pads and stiffer scrubbing pads. It won't scrub into tile grouts but I think it's worth a try for your needs. Also they only cost $154.

I think corded is better because the batteries wear out on all cordless vacuums. I do not recommend Tineco or Shark vacuums because their batteries are fixed. Members are reporting battery issues around 12 months, so I would not buy a vacuum with fixed batteries. If you have one of the original Bissell CrossWaves I think you'll really like the newer versions like the Bissell CrossWave Edge #4109 $179. It has better edge cleaning on the right side and the self-cleaning cycle is now run by just pushing a button. You don't have to pour water into the base or recline the machine on the newer models. The new CrossWaves do not have a dry vacuum mode and neither do any of the other vac/mops. Dry vacuuming is a feature I only see on the original CrossWaves, but it does clog the filter quickly. So if you get a CrossWave Edge you still have budget to buy a decent cordless vacuum for better dry vacuuming on all surfaces and above floor cleaning. If you really want a cordless vac/mop the only one I recommend is the Hoover Onepwr Streamline Cordless BH55400V $399, because this is the only vac/mop with removable and replaceable batteries. It's a good vac/mop with basic features. It's very similar to the CrossWave Edge, the Streamline has one side for edge cleaning and a simple self-cleaning mode. If you want complete control of the water go for the corded Hoover Streamline $150-170, it nearly the same machine but with a manual water trigger instead of an auto dispense. This allows you to do drying passes on your floors where it is just sucking up water. So I recommend the Bissell CrossWave Edge or Hoover Streamline corded and pair it with a cordless vacuum like the LG CordZero A9 (comes with a charging stand) or Dreame Z10T (comes with a self-emptying/charging stand). Both cordless vacuums are under $200 and have replaceable batteries. What do you think?

Most of the vac/mop combos only clean hard floors in a wet mode. Only the original Bissell Crosswaves have a dry vacuuming mode for hard floors and a wet refresh mode for rugs and it isn't very good. None of the popular vac/mops will vacuum or wet clean rugs. You need a good corded or cordless vacuum to dry vacuum rugs. Batteries are the most common failure and wear point on cordless vacuums and vac/mops so I only recommend models with removable and replaceable batteries. Owners are reporting battery failures across all models in as little as 6-12 months. Good batteries should last 2-5 years. So I don't recommend any cordless Tinecos because they all have fixed batteries. Currently, I recommend the corded Bissell Crosswave Edge/EdgeFind, corded Bissell Crosswave Hydrosteam, corded Hoover Streamline, and cordless Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum. Since you have wood floors I'd avoid the Crosswave Hydrosteam and any steam mops as excessive heat can damage wood. Please be warned vac/mops must be washed and dried after every use or they'll grow mold and odors very quickly. I hope that helps.

I have a Hoover OnePwr and it’s really effective with dog hair on my carpets. I also love that it has a bag and no wires

I have a Hoover onepwr with a bag, wireless and it’s excellent

I like the Hoover ONEPWR vacs. Theycan be used on floors and carpets. When the battery dies, you can just replace it with another battery. All the ONEPWR vacs use the same batteries. The newer chargers charge pretty quick, too.

I had a Dyson "stick" type vacuum. It didn't last nearly as long as the price tag suggested it should. The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it. I replaced it with a **Hoover ONE PWR** at half the price of the Dyson. I've had it longer than I had the Dyson and it's still working great. It comes with 2 batteries so one lives on the charger, the other on the vacuum. Means I've always got a full charge. The Dyson battery was internal so you can't swap out a battery if it dies on you. I would avoid anything that's not a brand name. Before the Dyson there was a generic Amazon no-name special vacuum that I used once, packed it back up in the box, and sent it back. Absolute junk. Bad suction. Just bad all around. Some of them may be fine but I don't trust the Amazon reviews on the no-name ones. They have a "Fieety" brand stick vacuum for $159 with nearly 1000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars. Is it good? You'd think so. But I still wouldn't take a chance on it. Ironically, the vacuum I bought and have had nothing but good luck with has a very low rating on Amazon (only 3 reviews though), but it doesn't matter as it's no longer available since it's such an old model.
