Bottom Line

Choose it for fast hard-floor cleaning, strong edge pickup, useful LEDs and a versatile wet-dry/stick-vac setup. Skip it if you need deep carpet cleaning, dislike dirty-tank upkeep, or want the cheapest option.

Best for

Best for homes with mostly hard floors that need frequent wet-dry cleaning, edge pickup, and occasional stick-vac or upholstery cleanup. It especially fits buyers who value one coordinated cleaning system over separate appliances.

Not for

Not ideal for budget shoppers, deep-carpet cleaning, or anyone who hates rinsing dirty tanks and brush parts. Reviewers with large carpeted homes or an existing strong stick vacuum may be better served by separate tools.

Verdict

Review evidence is strongest around hard-floor cleaning: reviewers repeatedly describe excellent mopping, strong liquid pickup, good edge cleaning, helpful LEDs and faster routines than separate vacuuming and mopping. The Switch-style shared-motor setup is also praised for versatility, especially when the stick vacuum handles rugs, upholstery or above-floor messes. The tradeoff is that this convenience adds complexity. Several reviewers disliked the shared battery charging workflow, heavier feel, dirty-water cleanup, and premium price. Self-cleaning is valuable, but not always enough to prevent damp rollers, mildew smells or manual maintenance, depending on the model reviewed.

  • 4.0
    11 reviews moderate consensus
    Self-cleaning cycle: 4.0, 11 reviews, moderate consensus
    Self-cleaning was broadly useful, but drying quality varied by model and could leave mildew or damp rollers if not managed.
  • 4.3
    9 reviews moderate consensus
    Self-propel feature: 4.3, 9 reviews, moderate consensus
    Self-propel assistance was widely appreciated, though one S7 Pro Combo review found tile-direction changes could slip.

    Smart features were split between helpful dirt sensing and voice/app feedback versus gimmicky apps or unresponsive auto mode.

  • 3.9
    8 reviews moderate consensus
    Runtime: 3.9, 8 reviews, moderate consensus

Consider This Instead

Dyson

FAQ

Can it replace both a vacuum and a mop?

For mostly hard floors, several reviewers said it cut cleaning time dramatically and replaced traditional mops. The stick vacuum helps with rugs and upholstery, but deep carpet cleaning remained a limitation.

How well does it clean wet spills?

Reviewers reported very strong wet pickup, including egg, milk, chocolate syrup, soup-like spills, and dumped dirty water. Fresh liquid pickup was one of the most consistently positive areas.

Is the self-cleaning cycle enough?

It helps a lot, and some reviewers praised the brush cleaning and drying. Others still found damp rollers, mildew smells, or smelly dirty tanks when maintenance was skipped.

Is it good for carpets and area rugs?

It can handle area rugs and light carpet debris, but reviewers repeatedly cautioned that it is not a deep-cleaning carpet vacuum. Homes with lots of carpet may need a stronger dedicated vacuum.

Is the shared battery design convenient?

Reviewers liked the switchable wet-dry and stick-vac concept, but several disliked moving the battery or motor back to the wet-dry dock to charge. It is versatile, but not as seamless as two independent devices.

What are the biggest drawbacks?

The recurring negatives are price, weight, dirty-water tank cleanup, possible odors if not maintained, and mixed performance from smart/auto modes in some tests.
