What a fantastic gadget! I wasn't the only one who was impressed; my pals were as well. Cleans and gathers together all the crumbs, spilt water, dirt, hair, and small stones. Even after mopping the garbage can by hand, there is still a great deal of grime within. Why is there so much grime? Water getting inside the lamination made me nervous. But, it was discovered that the vacuum cleaner is much more water-efficient than a mop, leaving behind a thousand times less moisture (almost does not). When you switch to carpet mode, more water is released, and the dirt may be easily wiped away (this is even written in the instructions). We use it for a little over a month, and we clean it about once every two or three days, changing out the rag and making quick work of it compared to using our bare hands.
