“The solution leaves the floors looking clean, streak-free, dries in a super quick time and smells amazing”
Homeowners with hard floors often find they need to vacuum, then steam or mop afterwards. It’s a time-consuming process but there is a way consumers can make their cleaning routine much quicker
Shark sells a 3-in-1 HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner that can vacuum, mop, and even clean itself. Usually priced at £329.99, it’s currently on offer for £199.99 – a considerable saving of £130.
The HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner removes wet and dry messes with powerful suction and hydro-mopping in one. It’s an antibacterial brush-roll that cleans itself throughout the process.
The cordless cleaner promises an ‘ultra-fast drying time’ and has a battery life of 25 minutes. The appliance also comes with a complimentary bottle of multi-surface cleaning solution.
What’s more, Shark’s HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner completes cleaning and vacuuming using one head; there’s no swapping and changing for users. It also comes with a three-year guarantee when bought from the Shark Ninja website.

Returning to Shark’s HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner, the appliance has 466 customer reviews and an overall rating of 4.2 out of five. One user said: “Finally, a mop and vacuum that actually works. I have bought multiple brands of these, and all have flaws, but this one blew me away. It is easy to set up. The solution leaves the floors looking clean, streak-free, dries in a super quick time and smells amazing. I have arthritis in my neck and shoulders, and this product has changed my life. Really easy to use and clean after use, I’m sitting here trying to think of a negative, but honestly, the best money I have spent.”
A second person said: “I’d considered this product for many months, as it is a large purchase. I weighed up other products, but with a large hard floor area, being able to vacuum as well as clean was the big pull for me. Very excited when the product arrived. Very easy to assemble, and the instructions for use were clear.
“Wow, I was not disappointed. It propels itself, making it so easy to use with no effort. Not cleaning ‘edge to edge’ for me isn’t an issue. I clean every other day as we have a dog, and it just keeps the floor from getting really grubby.”
The same shopper continued: “For any stubborn marks, I have learnt to spray directly before I use the Hydrovac, and that means those stains don’t require me to get on my hands and knees and usually come away easily. Where I began is virtually dry by the time I have finished. The self-clean is a real bonus! After use, I clean the dirty water container thoroughly and leave it loose to dry until next use. I have not been disappointed, and it is a fantastic bit of kit.”
Another customer liked the cleaner but also noted a drawback, reporting: “The machine is good but not great at removing stubborn dirt from tile grooves. I have to run a cloth over afterwards, which is a tad disappointing.”
An additional consumer reported a better experience, saying: “This piece of cleaning equipment makes looking after a large area of hard floors (circa 950 square feet) an absolute breeze; in fact, it’s a very pleasant experience. The Shark cleaning solution is also superb (a larger bottle would be appropriate) it ensures that stubborn marks are dealt with very fast and the finish is streak-free and virtually dry in seconds. I have purchased two bottles of the cleaning solution now that I am aware of not only superb hard floor results, but I can also clean rugs and carpet areas in the heavy traffic areas.”
A final user concluded: “A great system and the best I’ve had. No faff cleaning and cuts time by half and more. The speed of delivery was excellent. Definitely recommend.”
