Shark® HydroVac™ Pro XL WD201 Cordless Self-Cleaning Vacuum and Mop in Blue

I bought the HydroVac back in November. I did a ton of research for a mop vac that is durable, does a decent job and does the hard work for me due to my back issues. I went with the HydroVac due to the great reviews and videos I watched. When I received the vac I was extremely happy with the product. It was easy to use and was doing a decent job. However, over the next few weeks to a month its started to not do a great job anymore. I have dark wood floors and the vacuum would leave streaks every where. You would be able to see where I divided the sections of the rooms up with the vac. You can also start to see track marks from the wheels on the vac. This became utterly frustrating because it takes a long time to mop my main floor which is mostly wood. Another thing I did not like is the amount of product it actually uses. It almost uses an entire canister of liquid for my main floor to be completely cleaned. Then I would have to fill it up again to clean the vacuum. Then the next thing I discovered is that the vac does not completely dry after cleaning so it sits in water and leaves a residue in the charging tray after you do not use it for a few days. I cleaned it with a papertowel and removed all debris after every use to try and see if it would make a difference but it did not. The maintenance is not worth it to me and another negative about the product. This may be the first review I have ever done on a product and its because I am so disappointed in this product. I gave two stars because it was easy to use and did alleviate my back during floor cleaning.

Love it!!!!!!!! I have basically all Shark products. Never a disappointment, always very dependable

This Hydrovac is a game changer. So easy to assemble and change out roller and filter. No longer dreading doing the floors. I actually look forward to the ease and speed it affords because I know I'm going to move on to other things quickly! Thank you, Shark Ninja - this thing is the best thing since sliced bread. Oh, and I'm checking behind the self-cleaning mode since I have a dog who sheds. I empty the dirty water tank and rinse all the hair out & refill clean water after I mop so I'm running the clean cycle with fresh water and freshly washed tank. I must confess, I do rewash the tank after the cleaning cycle dirty water is dumped again. Then I wipe down the roller area when I remove the wet roller. I let the mop, tank, filter & roller air dry before reassembling to ward off any smells. So far so good! And I did purchase an extra filter and extra rollers in case I need to mop again before the used roller and filter dries. I give this thing 10 stars!

I was really excited about this after reading all the reviews. I have all wood floors and two big dogs. The option to vacuum and mop at the same time would save so much time. The mop left a line that was not getting clean in the middle and to clean the tank afterwards…was not fun. Wet hair…made a mess. I returned mine after 5 days. Great concept but maybe for floors without so much traffic.

At first the machine worked great. The self cleaning doesn’t do a great job. Constantly smells. It’s leaked out onto the floor. I wish I could return it, but I can’t. Definitely not what I hoped for

Honestly, it’s not the worst thing we’ve ever owned but it’s good for daily use. If you have any stains that have been sitting for a while you won’t be getting them out for example juice stains, jelly on the ground. You’ll have to go over it multiple times or put some pressure on the machine for it to come off if it comes off.

It does a great job picking everything up and lightly mopping. From that point it seems perfect, until you lift up the mop and see everything you picked up is clogged around the brush. I’ve had to unclog this after every use. Doesn’t matter what the debris is, hairs or cereal, it clogs more than half of the stuff picked up. What’s little gets into the actual waste container you then have to disassemble and wash out by hand. The container that holds the solids is horribly designed and you are forced to pick them out by hand. It doesn’t self clean as stated. I wouldn’t recommend this product. Really not happy with it besides it’s liquid mopping ability.

I’m had a Bissell and it wouldn’t clean and the battery wouldn’t last long at all. Then, the water dispenser broke. I decided to try this mop vac. It works amazing. The battery more than lasts. I am very pleased with how it cleans.
