The Bottom Line: For a person with all hard floors, this is wonderful.
All of the floors in my house are tile, so I figured I buy this and give it a shot.
To start out with, this was VERY easy to put together. Took 5 minutes, probably less. The only 'tricky' part was the the hole for the handle screw was behind the clean tank, and it took me a minute to figure that out.
After setting it up, I started with the moping side because I had already swept my living room floor. The mop is WONDERFUL, it cleaned my floor with hardly any problems. The only problem I found is that it tends to leave small puddles after mopping. I tried the dry-vac side in an area where I missed sweeping, and it really doesn't work that well at all. I haven't used the 'wet-vac' feature yet, although I have been tempted to pour a cup of water on the floor to test it. Though from what I have seen with it sucking up the solution it uses to clean the floors, it will work nicely.
*EDIT* After I mopped the whole living room floor, I ended up spilling a soda ALL over the floor. The wet-vac did an outstanding job on cleaning up the mess. I was very pleased that I didn't have to find towels to clean the spill and then mop to clean the sticky residue that is normally left behind with these messes.
Even with the dry-vac side not working, I would go out and buy this product again if I needed to. To not have to lug around a mop-and-bucket combo is the BEST feeling. The machine is small and light-weight, so I think it will be nice for small messes here and there as well as my major weekly cleaning projects. (And with three small kids it is a MAJOR process)
