It can be used on various hard floors as well as low-pile carpet.
On test, it did an excellent job tackling an array of debris, from cereal to baked beans.
It also did well at freshening up door mats.
There may be minor differences between different countries' models.
TheSharkHydroVac Cordless is a multipurpose cleaner that vacuums and mops at the same time.
There are plenty of reasons to admire this product.
Its capable of tackling mess such as milky cereal, baked beans and biscuits.
It works fast too.
We’d expect nothing less from the brand behind many of thebest vacuum cleanerson the market.
It’s not quite perfect.
Overall, I was very impressed with pick up both on finer dust and larger wet debris.
It gives you a decent 25 minutes of runtime too all in its handy cordless design.
That’s the short version read on for my full Shark HydroVac Cordless Cleaner review.
Shark HydroVac Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner review: price & availability
While Shark sells small appliances worldwide.
The cordless model I tested is the UK version, which has a list price of 329.99.
The Australian version (WD210ANZ) has a list price of AU$399.99.
What I instantly liked about the two-in-one cleaner is how easy it is to get set up.
Attach the body to the head by following the simple instructions provided.
This cleaner is designed for use on both wet and dry messes, and a variety of floor types.
You start it up simply by leaning the handle of the gadget back.
There are two modes.
The gear automatically starts in this mode when you turn it on.
In this mode, it seems to mop lightly in both directions.
When the unit starts, LED headlights illuminate to help you see hidden debris as you vacuum.
But I found this design reasonably lightweight and well balanced.
It’s easy to drive around the floor both on hard flooring, mats and rugs.
There are LED headlights on the main brush head that help to light the way.
The suction is powerful and I was impressed with just how quickly it got to work.
I also tried refresh mode on a doormat and my Persian carpet.
Luckily, the HydroVac didnt leave too much residue behind.
Comparatively, I measured myDysonV15 Detect Absolute at 76.4 decibels.
This helps freshen up the inside mechanisms and cleans the brush roll.
Straight after cleaning up beans and biscuits it was looking rather dirty, for example.
However, you’ll also have to do your own maintenance work.
Should I buy a Shark HydroVac Cordless?
It works across tiles, marble and sealed laminate too.
Its great with wet food spills under the breakfast table, for example.
It works well to refresh mats and rugs too.
It offers up to 25 minutes run time on a full charge.
I used the Shark Hydrovac to clean the floor daily.
I was keen to see how quickly and effectively it could clean up the area.
