La amo , muy buena todas sus funciones la recomiendo mucho ,

Very good vac mop I was very pleased does as it says!!

After a few months, water started dripping everywhere and every time I use it a huge amount of water comes out. I’m very disappointed this purchase I wish I can get my money back!!

This is a great cordless, lightweight and quiet floor washer that will easily replace my mop. It didn’t take too long putting it together. For whatever odd reason, I put in the handle in backwards. After charging it for 4.5 hours, I tried using it and when it didn’t work. That’s when I read the instructions again and realized it. Once I corrected the handle, it worked perfectly. I love that this comes with and extra brush roller and an extra filter. And this also comes with a cleaning tool to help clean the dirt sensor and other parts. There are two small storage holders, one holds the dry filter and other holds the spare brush roller and cleaning tool. Both holders hang onto the storage base tray that also holds the floor washer. And the best part for me is that brush roller self cleaning button! That’s a life changer and a nice surprise. It definitely saves me time! This works really well on my wood and tile floors. It’s easy to see that the floor is cleaner and it’s nice to see that the dirty water tank, actually is dirty. Makes me feel good that the floor is getting cleaner, when I go over it again and the dirty water tank isn’t so dirty. I was impressed that this isn’t very loud, not sure why I expected it to sound like a vacuum. I noticed how important it is to follow the instructions that mentions not to recline it more than 142 degrees otherwise water will leak out as it did for me. It also will stop running when placed upright. Filling the clean water tank and cleaning out the dirty one was fine. It works smoothly across my floors and is easy to navigate. It’s suppose to only run for 23-30 minutes while using before needing to be recharged. At first, I thought I’d have to stop halfway, charge and then continue using. But surprisingly, that is just enough time to clean my whole first floor.

The GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer was simple to unbox and assemble. I was surprised to find out when trying to install the brush roller from the box that there was already one installed and it was an extra. Same thing with the dry filter. The storage tray provides convenient storage places for those extra parts. You do have to figure out how to attach the filter and accessory holders to the tray because it doesn't really tell you in the instructions, however, it’s rather easy to figure out from the drawings and the mounting tabs on the tray. The battery was partially charged when I plugged the charger in, so it only took a short time to get a full charge. The manual states a 4-5 hour time to full but I found it to be slightly less than that, maybe because the battery was never fully discharged when I finished. I also found the stated run time of 30 minutes to be pretty accurate. The clean and dirty water tanks are very easy to attach and remove. They are a good size so that the weight when filling or emptying them is always manageable. I also like how there are indicators on the top display for if the clean water is empty or dirty water is full so there is never any guessing. The unit is light and easy to maneuver. It did a great job cleaning all of my hard surfaces from tile to hardwood and laminate. It did a great job sucking up any excess water and the floors usually dried out quickly. If there is a downside it would be that there are a number of parts to clean and dry after using. The dirty water tank, dirt sensor, dry filter, brush roll and potentially cover if dirt has accumulated. If you don’t mind a little bit of post cleaning maintenance though this is a superb little floor cleaner.

This machine does not clean well at all. spits out dirt

In my option did not work for me. But different for others so give it a try

I have really enjoyed using the Tineco to make life easier when it comes to mopping. It has been easy to set-up and get to cleaning coming pretty much entirely pre-assembled out of the box. The only thing they require you to do is install the handle and plug it in to charge. Also included with the mop are a couple of spares which are appreciated as they recommend replacement every 6 to 8 months for the dirty water tank filter and the mop head. They also recommend using ONLY their branded cleaning solution so know going into it you'll buying more from Tineco in the not to distant future. As long as they continue to offer the parts and don't force this mop to be obsolete in a year then I'm generally ok with that but I think the cleaning solution requirement is a little crazy. I used this on a variety of surfaces ranging from laminate plank to tile and found it to clean well while being very easy to use. The wheels are motorized so it is extremely easy to use as it helps pull/push itself along as you are using it. It does a good job of both mopping and vacuuming, I would still recommend vacuuming or sweeping up any large debris before using this. Dirty water tank holds approximately the same amount of fluid as the clean water tank before needing to be emptied so that works well. Both tanks are easy to remove from the main unit, the dirty water tank comes apart making it easy to clean. Cleaning in general is pretty straight forward, the unit is easy to disassemble and reassemble for maintenance and it also offers an auto clean feature for the mop head that you can use before removing and dumping your clean/dirty water tanks. Also included with the mop is a little drying station that has a spot for the mop body, the mop head, filter, and the cleaning brush the provide. Battery power is more than adequate as I was able to go through my kitchen and two bathrooms before running out of clean water at which time the battery still showed 2 bars of power available. Cleaning quality was good, obviously if you have some baked on stuff that needs elbow grease this isn't going to do it in the first pass but for maintenance and upkeep on just about any hard flooring along with cleaning up the occasional water or coffee spill this is excellent.

The Tineco GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer has easily become my favorite household cleaning equipment. My biggest reason for wanting this floor washer, is due to my having 2 dogs, one that sheds heavily. Trying to keep floors clean with multiple pets, or if you have children can be difficult. There are only 1-2 downsides to this floor washer in my opinion , and one that makes me take a star away because it’s big for me. Pros: There is everything you could possibly need included in the box. It comes with detachable holders that clip to the base stand that allows your extra accessories to be stored in one place like the extra cleaning brush. This makes for a nice, clean presentation and ensures you won’t lose anything. Does an amazing job on thick dog hair, and tough stains although it may take an extra swipe or two. The cleaning solution provided has a very pleasant smell, that isn’t overpowering It’s lightweight which makes travel to different floor levels easier Even on the most powerful mode, it isn’t terribly loud Doesn’t take up a lot of space Allows for you to be able to sweep, and mop at the same time without the use of 2 separate products. Great battery life. I have never run out during a cleaning of each level of my home. 4-5 hour charge time Neutral: The arm handle feels sort of cheaply made, like it may not last for a long period of time. I think this also makes it lighter weight, only time will tell if it will hold up. Makes your arm hurt/sore a bit during longer cleanup jobs due to the double tanks. Cons: The cleanup process is really gross to say the least. The instructions ask for a thorough cleaning and drying of components after every use, which means all that dog hair, debris will have to be dumped and throughly cleaned out and with the narrow dirty water tank, I find this undesirable to say the least. Also you have to make sure to ring the cleaning brush out by hand or it will never try to be able to be stored as desired. If the cleanup wasn’t to messy, and tedious this floor washer would be the perfect, ideal home cleaning solution. It gets the job done, and takes away the need for both a mop and a separate vacuum.

I have been looking for a way to mop the basement floor, which is massive and all epoxy coated concrete, for a while now. Our dogs keep the floor dirty and it has taken forever to mop the floor manually. This floor washer changes everything when it comes to getting this giant surface cleaned. It works incredibly well, cleans quickly, and leaves the floor looking as shiny as when we first had it coated. Seriously, with just a few passes over an area, and with just water, I cleaned the entire basement floor with one battery charge and two tank refills. The best part it that the whole process took about 20 minutes. The floor washer is light as well, so its easy to move around the floor. The dirty water is absolutely disgusting, so I know the floor is being cleaned well. Also not having to vacuum prior to using this is great. Just make sure to dump the dirty water tank outside, otherwise you'll end up with a clogged drain inside from all the nasty stuff this thing cleans up. I highly recommend using this washer for your hard floors as it saves time and cleans amazingly.

I’ve had a corded floor washer for a few years now, but I have to admit I don’t use it nearly as often as I should. One factor is having to clean it up afterward, but the cord is a factor, too. The Tineco GO H2O XL definitely eliminates the cord, and cleanup after use is really pretty quick and easy. It was super easy to unbox and get it set up ready for use. I quickly scanned the manual, mainly to find out how much cleaning mixture to add to the water tank, then I was ready to try it out. The handle just has three buttons on it: power, a button to toggle between eco and max mode, and the self-cleaning button. The first thing I noticed after turning it on was how quiet it was. This was a very pleasant surprise. My corded floor scrubber is very loud, which may be another factor why I don’t use it as much as I should. I have a mix of tile with a little texture and vinyl planks. Obviously, the textured tile is a little more of a challenge to clean. However, with a little patience I found this floor washer could clean almost every spot I encountered. Even on the smooth vinyl, I had to keep telling myself to slow down. I tended to try and go at the same speed that I vacuum, but the cleaning liquid needs a little time to work. So, once I slowed down to a steady pace and let the water and brush do its work (sometimes with a boost to the max mode) it would clean everything. I think the toughest test was a small area of tile near the litter box that’s also under a towel so it would get some drips of water that practically turn the litter into concrete. I had to keep running over that spot in max mode for a couple of minutes, but it did clean it all off. Cleaning that by hand using a towel and cleaner would probably have taken about the same amount of time. The battery run time mostly in eco mode with occasional boosts to max is reasonable. I didn’t time it, but I was able to run two cleaning tanks through it and still have a little battery left. This was enough to mop the bedroom, office, hallway, and bathroom. Still, it would be nice if the battery was removable, and it came with another battery you could swap out. When the dirty water tank filled up, it lit up the indicator light and shut off. Normally, you’d probably dump it down the drain then rinse everything. In my case, we have a lot of cats so there was quite a bit of hair in the tank. So, I just took everything outside to clean it. I used the garden hose to rinse everything and carefully flush out the tube in the roller head. This may not be recommended, but it quickly and easily cleaned all the hair out of the roller head. It comes with a handy base that lets you stand up the wet roller to dry and a spot to dry the internal filter. The self-cleaning option also uses the base to flush and rinse the roller brush, although with cleaning everything the way I did, I don’t think the self-cleaning will be necessary. Overall, I think this will be a useful floor scrubber. While it’s not quite as quick and easy to use compared to cordless dry vacuums because of the cleanup needed afterwards, I still think this is a floor scrubber that I’ll finally use more often to keep the messes a little more under control.

I used to vacuum all my hardwood floors, which took about 15 minutes, and then mopped the floors, which took another 20 or so minutes. And then I had to wait for the floors to dry. This Tineco GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer saves me from having to go over the floors twice and it also dries nearly instantly. On top of that, I can get all my floors cleaned using around 16oz of water/cleaner as opposed to the 3.5 gallons of water/cleaner I used with my old mop bucket. This works as advertised and has powered through long human hair as well as clumpy golden retriever hair. It vacuums up large and small crumbs with no problem (It sucked up a whole pretzel twist along with the usual cheerios/breadcrumbs/etc) and also mops up dried drink drips with no problem. This is a breeze to clean up with the self-cleaning cycle doing about 95% of the work. The mop roller removes easily and cleans up quickly. The included brush helps to clean the vacuum head if you notice some dirt accumulation. I set this vacuum up for failure from the get-go and it exceeded expectation. I had a pretty busy party full of finger food, various drinks, and lots of people tracking in dirt. I cleaned the floor using none of the included solution and cold tap water (as opposed to the recommended warm water) and not only did it clean my entire space with a lot of battery to spare, but the floors were mostly streak-free and with no noticeable smudges to go over again. And it did it all with around 16oz of water! The disposal of the dirty water tank is so much easier and cleaner to do than dumping an entire mop bucket of dirty water, as well. My second cleaning using this vacuum/mop went even better as I used the included formula and the floors were clean as expected but also did not have any streaks and had a nice semi-shiny clean look to them. Tineco GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer is easily the best floor cleaning solution I have purchased for my tile floor. I would give this 10 stars! Awesome purchase. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wanting an easy all-in-one vac & floor washing system. It's made an annoying chore so much simpler.

The Tineco Go H2O XL cordless floor washer is Tineco's battery powered floor washer. It's lightweight and easy to work with. It's not too large or heavy and is easy to maneuver around to get to most places you would need to mop. Ease Of Use I found it easy to use the Go H2O. It can stand upright on it's own, so I was able to pause mopping by locking the handle in the fully upright position turn it off and move what I needed to move out of the way. Starting back up, all I had to do was move the handle back to a normal position and power it back on then continue where I left off. The mop pivots the head when you turn the handle which I felt makes it easy to direct the mop head where you want it to go. I did have an issue when trying to mop under something that was low but the mop head should have fit under. The problem was with max angle in which you can lower the handle to get under something. The mop comes with a stand that you can set it on when not in use and when charging and running through it's cleaning cycle. The size of the base allowed me to put it where I needed to and it doesn't take up too much room. The base has holders for a replacement filter, extra roller, and a cleaning brush. It also came with the cleaning brush, an extra roller, and an extra filter. Performance The Go H2o can run for up to 30 minutes in Eco mode and up to 23 minutes in Max mode. In Echo mode, I was able to mop all of my hardwood floor, but in Max mode, the battery didn't last long enough and I had to recharge it then finish. Thirty minute runtime for me would be enough to cover my floors, so I wish the battery had enough capacity to run that long in Max mode. The roller for the mop seemed to do a really good job for me. The dirty water collected by it was just like the dirty water would be from me using my manual mop. Also, I was able to mop up spots just as I would if I had been using my regular mop. The noise produced by the mop in both Eco mode and Max mode was lower than what I was expecting. It's not loud at all. In my use of it, I didn't have any problems with the fresh water tank or the dirty water tank and the mop detects when the dirty water tank is full and it will indicate this on the top of the mop by lighting up the dirty water tank full symbol. The cluster of symbols are placed where I can easily see them while using the mop. The handle is a good design. I didn't feel my hand getting sore from using it and its design makes it easy to maneuver the mop head. Cleaning the roller is simple. You can remove it and clean it or you can set the mop on the base and activate cleaning mode. After using cleaning mode, I could see the dirty water bin contained light grey water indicating that it did, to some degree, clean the roller. It's easy to remove the roller and clean it. The design of that is good and Tineco I think Tineco should keep the simple design in future models. Final Thoughts I like the overall design. I wish the battery capacity was a little larger to the point where the Max mode will run for 30 minutes. I don't like the design of the fresh water tank. It's long and the opening to fill it doesn't make it that easy to fill since I have to have it at an angle in my sink in order to get it filled. I think it would be good for Tineco to redesign that. As it is, you can get it filled, but I ended up using the sprayer that is build into my sink in order to fill it. I like what Teneco has with the Go H2O XL.

The Tineco GO H20 XL Cordless Floor Washer is an easy to use and convenient appliance for washing all types of floors. I have tested it out and used it several times and following are my observations: - The Floor Washer is easy to assemble. It has an easy to follow, quick set up guide with visual instructions. - It is easy to operate. Illustrations and labeling help to identify where every part is located and instructions are easy to follow. - Charging time for a full charge takes approximately two hours. - The digital display and icons are easy to read and makes it intuitive to operate. - The appliance keeps running for a few seconds after it is powered off, to soak up extra water on the surface, which is a nice feature. - While the Floor Washer isn't in use and unplugged, they recommend to do a full charge every three months. - The run times on a full charge are approximately 30 minutes on ECO mode, or 20 minutes on Max Power mode. - While I have not had any issues so far to need it, I like having the trouble shooting guide. Those are always a nice reference to have for solving any issues without having to call the company or search for information. - The Floor Washer has a 2-year warranty. - It comes with cleaning solution, 1 extra brush head (which they recommend replacing every 6 - 8 months), and 1 extra filter (which they recommend replacing every 6 months.) - The Clean Water Tank (CWT) and Dirty Water Tank (DWT) are easy to remove from the unit. The CWT is easy to fill and replace, and the DWT is easy to empty and clean out. The cleaning tool provided with the unit works nicely. - On the ECO setting, it does a good job cleaning with plenty of water and the suction was pretty good. My tile and hardwood floors were a little wet after the suction, but didn't take long to dry. - On the Max Power setting, it releases more water and has a stronger suction. My tile and hardwood floors were left almost completely dry as I passed over them. The Max Power setting was nice on areas that required more attention, such as our kitchen and bathroom tile, but it does deplete the battery faster. - My floors look and feel nice and clean after use. - I think it would be nice if it came with multiple brush rollers with different textures, so you could use a more abrasive brush on areas that are dirtier or tougher to clean. All-in-all, I'd recommend the Tineco GO H20 XL Cordless Floor Washer for floors that need general cleaning. If you have floors that get really dirty and need a little more work, such as a bathroom floor with a lot of hairspray on it, you may need to go over those sections with the Floor Washer a few times, or scrub them by hand first and then go over them with the Floor Washer to clean and sanitize them and suck up all the water. I enjoy the clean look and feel of my floors after using it and it is quick and easy to use. Having a cordless washer also makes it very convenient.

I have and use one of my favorite floor vac mops all the time to clean up floors all over the house. In my kitchen and the dining room, I have a super high shine and gloss that I didn't want to use my regular floor mop vacuum with the chemicals cleaner in it on those floors. So I ended up getting this mop back for that specific purpose. When I open the box and took everything out the box, I noticed that the power cord goes directly to the vacuum and not the stand itself, which for me, in my opinion is a better set up. So I took everything I needed out of the box, put everything together, and fill the container with water without the cleaning solution. I was hoping I wouldn't have had to charge the vacuum mop, but I did for at least two hours. After everything was charged, I changed out the water that was in the container because it got cold and I wanted to make sure that the water was hot because I wasn't going to be cleaning with any of the cleaning solution that came with the vac mop. Believe it or not, it clean the floor quite well with water alone and I was also able to get places that I never would've gotten with my other mop vac. For people thinking about purchasing this VAC, you have to know that this is a smaller vac and if you're cleaning a larger floor is going to take a little longer. I believe you won't have any problems cleaning your floor though, because if I was able to get my floors this clean and shiny with just water, imagine what you can do with the cleaning solution! I also used it for the small closet in the kitchen with the same type of floors, and looks really good! This is definitely a keeper and a must have especially at the price point. I wish I could give this my 10 stars for how much I love it!

This floor washer buys you time if you have kids. I say this because when my little one makes a mess on his high chair there are chunks of wet food all over the floor. I want to always pick up the pieces and clean the floor immediately but sometimes I am unable to since I need to tend to my little one. What I have found with this floor clear is that I borrow time only to wash the floor cleaner at a more convenient time. After every meal I clean up the mess with the GO H20 XL Cordless and put it back in it’s storage area. I do not clean it until I have time in the day to do so. You do NOT want to leave this floor washer over a prolonged period of time dirty or you will hate the process. The floor washer must be maintained clean and that takes time. However, for my lifestyle and with a little one it lets me shift that cleaning commitment to a time more convenient to me. This is definitely a double edged sword but the cordless nature of the floor washer helps immensely, the strong suction and floor washing process sucks up the food chunks on my vinyl floors and prevents the baby food from turning into what I call food cement on the floors. Needless to say I extensively use the floor washer around the dining table and I have appreciated not having to bend over and under the table and chairs to clean the floors. As a person with back pain issues, I appreciate anything that saves my back.

Hello friends and welcome to my review of the Tineco Go H2o XL cordless floor washer. Wow that is a mouthful for a vacuum mop machine. So I will refer to this item as the Go H2o from here on. First off this unit was delivered well packaged and in working condition, despite the packaging being beat up in shipping. Secondly this is a lightweight unit. Very easy to move around, fill ,and empty. The tanks are small and easy to remove and replace. Also the Go H2o is a great cleaning solution for folks who have a hard time with a mop and bucket or have lots of stairs to climb. Due to its small size and light weight it can easily be moved up stairs to a spare bathroom etc.. This is handy because once you try the Go H2o you will think you have never mopped before. As soon as i tried this unit out on my bathroom floor, I was stunned! The nasty water that was pulled off the floor was amazing. So I did it again and received the same results. Wow I must be a human pig! The cleaning power of the Go H2o is outstanding. Now that this powerful unit is in my arsenal of products, I feel like my home is a lot cleaner. The simplicity of use and light weight make this Go H2o my pick for mopping anywhere in my home. Would I recommend to a friend or family member? Yes I will!

The Tineco GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer is a pretty cool floor washer if you understand what it is. The cordless washer works great to maintain a clean floor. The first time I used this washer I was treating it like a vacuum where I was pushing the mop over the tile floor fast like a vacuum. That did not clean it very well because the brush did not have enough time over the dirty areas to fully clean it. By default the machine turns on in ECO mode that gingerly brushes the floor. It seems that the water button on the handle does not pump water out as fast as I had hope thus slowing down the cleaning. Pressing the max button on the handle speeds up the brush spin rate and increases the suction and it appears to do a much better job cleaning the floors. There are warnings everywhere that you should avoid cleaning over areas that have a lot of suds that would trip the sensor. The dirty water tank is approximately 24 inches tall but the capacity maxes out about 6-8 inches. After using this for a few days, this cordless water brush is much better suited for maintaining clean floors than doing deep cleans. Also after doing the post clean cleanup of the dirty water tank, I realize that if have dogs that shed, this is not the mop for you. There are a few parts that need to be rinsed out after every clean to prevent fowl odors. The tube between the brush and dirty water tank was full of dog hair and there was no easy way to flush out the hair. The only way I could fully clean out the dog hair was to reverse flush the dirty water intake port using a stream of water being careful not to get water anywhere except through the port. The instructions say to just wipe the area clean with a soft cloth. This is impossible if you have wads of dog hair stuck to every nook and cranny in the intake port. Luckily reverse flushing works well. Subsequent uses require me to pre-vacuum all the dog hair before using this floor washer. I will give it to the machine that the tile floors in my house now look very clean and the dirty water tank shows it with the dirty water when I dump it out. Battery life appears to work well between ECO mode and Max mode for a few hours, which is good enough for a couple of rooms. Now, if you want something to do quick maintenance of your floors, this is a fine machine albeit more of a luxury item. If you plan on doing heavy routine cleanup, perhaps a mop and bucket might serve you better. Animal lovers that have shedding issues should look somewhere else.

I have wanted a second one of these for around the house since I got my first unit. I have previous experience with the Tineco floor one s6 extreme pro, which I use twice a week cleaning up messes and to just clean the floor. This I floor 5 Go H2O Xl series is virtually the same in cleaning function. It does as good as regular mopping and better than disposable pad mopping, but just as simple. To begin with, this comes with 2 roller heads total (one installed one spare) and 2 dry air filters (1 installed, 1 spare) total to begin with, a cleaner bristle brush, sample of solution, and the unit itself, storage base and cord. It is slim and minimal real-estate is taken up. Estimated tun time Normal is 30 minutes, 23 with max, and I would say during that time, the water tank will runs out about 3 times. I have ran it in in 20 minute bursts doing sections in my house, and I'd estimate thus could do about 1500 square feet on a charge moving at a fair pace, and 3 tanks of water. This has a self clean function that you can initiate when you go back to recharge, and I think it is about the same noise level as my other model, but I do like the fact is I tell it when it needs to be done, it does not do it automatically. Generally I run it through a charge, that's enough floor time I run a self clean, unless the floor was filthy, then i do it right after even if the charge is not gone. I like that better than it just automatically doing a self clean and then I may forget to get the dirty tank drained, and that can pead to mildew and smell in the dirty tank. Now if I do the self clean, I remember better. This has 2 cleaning settings, regular abd max, both work good. Max uses a bit more suction, rpm, and water. The max does lower battery life a little. Set up of the physical product in easy, the book does explain that well. Registration is easy, but this does not have a smart/wifi connection as does the s6 does, one less thing to set up. The app for the other is a nice feature on the upper model, but not a necessity. I rarely use the app in my other model. This does not have a charging base. You have to plug the cord directly into the unit on the back. The upper models the base has a spot the unit cradles over and connects to charge. For a rating, I actually give this unit 5 out of 5 stars, the other I gave 4 because it was just not a value for what it does, I expected more. This one does exactly the same, but value is on par price wise for function, and this is just simpler. The other has more settings, talking, and automation, but to me it adds minimal value to justify double the cost. This cleans just as well. I would reccomend this to a friend as the first line version of this to buy. It is definitely more cost than a mop and bucket, but it much less mess and heavly lugging, bending, and twisting. This mop does the scrubbing for you.

The Tineco GO H2O XL Cordless Floor Washer came well packaged with a manual that is clear and easily followed. It is simple to put together. It takes about five hours to fully charge. It has a panel that lights up, much like a dashboard to let you know if the power is on, more water needed, how much power is left, etc. It was difficult to rate as the size of the room and condition of the floor were factors in effectiveness and frustration. While the charge lasts for 30-35 minutes, that's only on the lowest setting which cleaned well on low trafficked areas but wasn't as effective on high traffic areas. Those areas needed the Max setting which only lasts 20 minutes before recharging. While that worked for the kitchen, I could not clean the living area on one charge. The clean water tank is small and I needed to fill it three times to clean the kitchen. As the tank is easily refilled, that was not an issue for me. While a cleaning solution comes with the washer, it appears that a favorite cleaner can be added instead. It definitely does clean. I'm very happy with the results on Max. While the dirty water tank is bigger, it is only about half full when the warning to empty it comes on. I find the placement of the button to spray water awkward though it may just be a matter of getting used to it, I'm not yet. It is self-propelling and very easy to maneuver. It easily gets underneath cabinets and cleans right to walls. One problem I had was the roller coming off. The roller is held in place by magnet but my machine does not appear to make a strong enough connection. A big plus is it is so easy to clean after use. Overall, I've found it to be okay. I love it for some things but am frustrated with it for others. I think the people who will be the most frustrated will be those with large open floor plans as it will be difficult clean the whole floor at one time.
