ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum

Vac/Mops do not clean as well as having a separate vacuum and mop. They will clean better if you dry vacuum first and then use the vac/mop just to mop. I recommend avoiding any vac/mop that has a fixed battery. The battery is the most common issue and also degrades over time so any machine with a fixed battery is living on borrowed time before it's completely dead. Almost all vac/mops do not dry vacuum at all, they don't dry vacuum hard floors and they do not vacuum rugs. Only a few of the original corded Bissell Crosswaves can dry vacuum and refresh rugs, both functions are not very good and not a compelling reason to buy an original Crosswave. Steam is marginally useful. It's helpful for breaking down greasy stains but it's not strong enough to sanitize and you do not want to use steam on biological stains because it can bake/set them. Steam requires a lot of electricity so the cordless vac/mops with steam are very expensive. I think you vacuum much more often than you mop so getting a good corded or cordless vacuum is a must. The classic O'Cedar Spin Mop is really hard to beat in terms of easy to use and effective. Cleanup is emptying the bucket and machine washing the mop pads. I also just learned you can mop your walls and cabinets, how's that for versatile? If you want a vac/mop I recommend going with a corded model or a model with removable and replaceable batteries. The Bissell CrossWave Hydrosteam $269 is reasonably priced, it can use cleaning solution or steam. The Hoover Streamline Corded $138 and RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum $379 are also good options without steam. You will get better results if you dry vacuum first. Alos lookup the cleanup required after each use because if you don't wash and dry everything it will mold and smell bad.

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 went with a Ryobi because I have a lot of Ryobi tools so I also have a lot of Ryobi batteries. I scored a machine on clearance for $100 and it’s honestly it’s pretty great. I have owned a Tineco that was gifted to me and that thing was hot garbage. If you have power tools, look to see what whatever platform(s) you are invested in already have to offer.

We have a Ryobi 18v stick vacuum and hard floors. It gets used everyday to suck up our border collie’s fur.

I tried a Dyson once and was thoroughly unimpressed. Not only are the batteries trash but the suction was garbage. For those fucking price tags stay as far away from Dyson as possible. That said, I now use a Ryobi 18V stick vacuum *only* because I already had a bunch of 18V tools so I already had the batteries. The suction is solid and the battery life is pretty decent. It’s a well designed machine albeit a bit heavy. If you don’t already have Ryobi gear something more conventional is probably prudent.

If you’re searching for a reliable, heavy-duty cordless stick vacuum that actually pulls hair out of carpet and still performs great on hard floors, I highly recommend the Ryobi HP 18V Stick Vacuum. We use these for both residential and commercial cleaning, and for a cordless option, they’ve been outstanding. The battery life is excellent when paired with 6–8Ah lithium batteries, and Ryobi even offers 12Ah batteries if you need extended runtime. One huge advantage is the Ryobi ecosystem. They have a portable rapid charger that can hold up to 6 batteries, which is a game-changer if you’re cleaning large areas and don’t want downtime. Strong suction, great hair pickup, and real durability — wayyyyy better than any other cordless competitor we’ve tested. If you want power, flexibility, and reliability without dealing with cords, this is the move.

It has great dust filtration, its not hepa filters but they do have great replacement disc filters that can be replaced for a couple of dollars.
