Recommendations for one of those new (to my experience) vacuum/mop hybrids for faux wood flooring?
-
The comment from the other thread is right - combination devices are more complex, and thus more likely to break and not have replacement parts available.
Personally I would go with swiffer type mop (flat rectangle) with a microfiber cloth instead of their proprietary pads. The cloth is washable and reusable. And if you don't want to use microfiber because of microplastics, then a cotton kitchen towel would work too.
I have accepted my microplastic content, and am eagerly awaiting my plastic-based super powers.

(which, the Hoover name, which used to be a mark of quality, getting dragged through the sewers by TTI is tragic enough in itself)

I have a shark combo that's a few years old- the vacuum piece definitely clogs more thany old solo robot vacuum. I'm not sure if in recent years it's gotten better, but having to empty it daily is still better than vacuuming manually. The mop function you have to install the water tank and put the mop pad on to use it and I find it does a fairly good job. Still need to vacuum and mop manually time to time but the in between is helpful.

I'm still mad at them for killing off Royal. The Royal Everlast vacuums were tanks.
FYI, TTI owns Hoover, Oreck, Vax, & Dirt Devil.

Is it true that ThinkBOOKS are still ok?

Did the program lead you to choosing that mop, or are those two completely separate statements?

Both lol. I found the mop there, and it's a lot of vacuum reviews, so you can find what works best for you

Thanks, friend. That’s actually super-helpful. Do you know of any similar channels for other household appliances?

Unfortunately, as random as it is, this is the only one I got, but you might check out the new york times's wirecutter. Contrary to it's parent publication, wirecutter is pretty good
