Firstly this item will only be worth the hefty pricetag if you have a lot of hard floor. It does not work on carpet which for the price you would probably want it too. My parents have a very large open plan dining room living room/kitchen so we’re more than happy to try this out. It makes very light work of mopping and hoovering your floor as it does both of these in one go. It does leave your floor exceptionally clean and is very well designed. The rollers allow you to get right into the corner of every inch of the room.
It’s easy to empty out and although the water tank is small, a little bit goes a very long way.
The machine itself is very heavy however it glides along the floor like a feather. The only problem is if you need to take it up the stairs you need to make sure you, one, take the water tank out and two be prepared it is heavy. Saying that it does an exceptional job and is clearly very well designed. I’m not sure it’s worth a 600+ and really would only be worth the investment if you had an entire house of wooden or laminate flooring.
With this item you receive a small bottle of cleaning fluid however I have gone ahead and use my own favourite cleaning fluid and that works just as well.
The rollers are probably the best part of this item.
The machine cleans them after each use and then you can simply throw them in the washing machine and they come out as good as new. They don’t take that long to dry either which is fantastic. I have found that you can pick up plenty of replacement rollers online too for if they do start to look a little bit worse for wear. However even after months of use the rollers still come out the washing machine perfect.
Overall this machine is great and is well designed to do two jobs in one But also neatly stores away on its own box
This works well in maintaining the cleanliness of a tiled kitchen floor. The cleaner cannot be described as lightweight, but it isn’t heavy. As with all floor cleaners it takes up space somewhere and this is more bulky than many mop/super mop alternatives. I really like that this does not produce plastic waste in the form of soiled cloths that end up in landfill. Recommended
I am a huge fan of floor cleaners and couldn’t wait to try this one, giving the price tag, I was hoping it would be everything I hoped for, unfortunately it wasn’t.
It arrived quickly and was perfectly packaged and simple to set up, it needed to be charges for about 4 hours first, this seemed like a lifetime to me eagerly waiting to try it. Whilst waiting I attached the rollers which are colour coded and go on with a simple twist, I installed the dirty water tray which again simply clicks into place. Next I filled the water tank to the max fill line, added a capful of the included miniature bottle of cleaning solution and clicked the tank onto the machine. Finally it was ready to use.
I excitedly pressed the power button and the rollers started turning, as suggested in the instructions booklet I pressed the button for more water and more roller speed and then I was off, effortlessly cleaning off the dirt and grime. I decided to go up to maximum power and was loving it for about 1 minute then the max button beeped and flashed, this was telling me to empty the dirty water tray, which is super easy but needs to be done at least every 5 minutes, this is my biggest gripe with the machine, the clean water tank is 200ml but the dirty tray is (and I’m only guessing) about 30ml, this drives me nuts. However cleaning my wood and vinyl floors was rather fun and very easy, my rough ceramic tiles in my bathroom didn’t clean so well though as the rollers just couldn’t reach into all the divots, I believe a fluffier roller set is available for this purpose but considering the price of the machine I think it should come with the extra rollers and a full size detergent.
The battery power lasts well especially after the first deep clean as I use it everyday, it only takes 10-15 minutes to do it all now, so battery lasts a few days. Also it doesn’t leave my floors soaking wet and therefore they dry really quickly.
To sum it up I wouldn’t be without it now, but it isn’t perfect.
I used it on my lino flooring (it also works on hard wood floors as well) and it worked really well. It cleans deeper than the traditional mop. It is a but bulky than said mop but not by much. The unit that comes with it can double as a base which you can store all the extra goodies. The rollers can be soaked and scrubbed in any sink, its simple to clean.
Considering it’s price I am only semi impressed.
I have mostly wooden flooring and tiles throughout my house and cleaning them can be a bit of an issue sometimes. I have used devices in the past that scratched my floors and actually did more harm than good so I was really looking forward to using this. Karcher is a brand I have used before with carpet cleaners and they have always been known to be one of the best. Well, it did not disappoint and I am very impressed with the performance of this so far.
Cleaning is not one of my favourite things to do. So having a device which both vacuums and mops saves me alot of time and makes life easier. When unboxing everything was easy to setup and the instructions are thourough and very clear. The device its self is simple to use with a few different settings depending on the required use and being cordless you don’t have to drag wires around with you or find a spot to plug it in. The battery has performed quite well so far and I have managed to do a few good cleans before having to charge. The only downside to charging is the cable is a little short and if you have limited space it may be a bit of a task. The one thing that has been great about this is the performance with dog hairs. My dog is moulting and leaving piles of hairs all over the place but this machine still managed to clean and suck up the dog hairs too. It has also made all the floors spotless with minimal effort and is something I would not want be without after using it ! Would 100% recommend if you have hard floors, well worth the money and really does save time.
Although it is very portable in operation, it took us some time to familiarize ourselves with the process.
It is very convenient and the four rolling brushes are highly efficient. The combination of vacuum cleaner and mop reduces time and provides a good and thorough cleaning, especially for fur left by pets.
Low center of gravity design, the weight of the whole machine is close to the ground, and the two sides of the roller brush are unobstructed, and it can be close to the edge to clean dead corners.
When operating with low noise, it feels light and light.
I checked the prices of other similar products, and it seems that this price will be too expensive, but because I have not purchased other wireless automatic floor scrubbing, I can’t say exactly whether its price is too expensive, but I saw its price today and it’s saved. 100
Cleaning device came in well secured packaging and in good shape condition. Nothing missing inside. No issues, no defects. . Instruction manual is clear and being honest this auto mop have got very Intuitive operation procedure and very easy yo follow and easy to use. Ideal for deep cleans,even dry stains removing, perfect for maintaining 70-112m2 flooring areas.
Designed mainly for glass smooth terracotta or tile type of the flooring but no problem with cleaning panel or laminate (waterproofed) flooring too.
Easy and convenient colour coded assembly.
Powerful motor system and solid feel and metal composite combination construction guarantees device very well balanced and smooth cleaning experience. No slipping due to too lightweight body effect but also not to heavy to feel fatigue or strain yourself.
Satisfactory ergonomics guarantees an easy access to confined and limited spaces.
Device build quality and product finishing is very decent for krcher.
Good charging option and sufficient battery life to get the job done within provided specification.
Weak side of this brilliant piece of tech is short charging wire (charging wire could be a little bit longer and that would help ). Also there is no rubber spare blades included same as no spare set of at least two additional cleaning rollers in the box just in case of premature wear and tear factor.
In general, this is brilliant cleaning device designed for designated by specification floor maintenance in modern property housing model.Price is 499 but justified by product quality and Krchers top workmanship even when can be seen as expensive, but honestly what is not these days!
Personally I am happy to recommend this product as is worth considering having it in your home especially when you don’t enjoy sloppy and messy cleaning jobs and just desire for clean and efficient finishing effect. Recommend. Thanks.
