I was looking for a vacuum cleaner that could do both dry and wet cleaning, and I found that in this model. Because I have a child living with me, rubbish, food crumbs, and other scraps of paper end up on the floor much more quickly and frequently than they would otherwise. I'll program the vacuum cleaner to run on the desired time, and he'll take care of cleaning the floors himself, either by vacuuming or washing them. The application is where I do most of my managing because it's more convenient. During washing, I found the brushes to be helpful because they provided a good scrape when something was spread on the linoleum.
