    Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Wet&Clean: stick with spinning mop

    Check price on AmazonAffiliate link

A wet and dry cordless cleaner vacuums and washes a hard floor in the same pass. A roller is kept damp from a clean water tank while suction pulls the dirty water and debris into a separate recovery tank, so you are not pushing grey water around as you would with a mop and bucket. The better machines then clean their own roller on the dock and dry it, which matters because a damp roller left in a cupboard soon smells. Most are hard floor machines, so check before you use them on rugs. This guide compares six cordless options on maker runtime, self-cleaning and drying, listed capacity, weight and the floors each one suits, from dedicated floor washers to stick vacuums with a wet head or mop attachment. Always check your floor maker's advice before wet cleaning wood.

  • A pet hair strainer makes removing hair from the dirty tank easier.

Good to know

  • 25 minutes of runtime is the shortest in this guide.

No. 4 · Tineco

The earlier Tineco floor washer, with iLoop sensing for wet and dry messes, dual tanks and one-touch self-cleaning. It suits smaller homes with hard floors.

In its favour

  • iLoop detects wet and dry messes and adjusts suction and water flow.
  • Dual tanks keep clean solution separate from dirty water.
  • 35 minutes of runtime is longer than the newer S5 figure.

No. 5 · Hoover

Hoover HW400: 70C self-clean and 30 min dry

A cordless wet and dry floor cleaner that vacuums and washes hard floors in one pass, then self-cleans its roller at 70C and dries it. It suits kitchens and homes that are mostly hard floor.

In its favour

  • It picks up dust, dirt and liquids in one step on hard floors, so no separate mopping.
  • Self-cleaning at 70C with a 30 minute roller dry, according to the listing.
  • Lies flat to 180 degrees to reach under furniture, with active edges on three sides.

Good to know

  • It is a hard floor machine, not a carpet vacuum, so carpeted homes still need a stick.
  • Water tank volumes are not stated beyond the 0.6 L capacity figure.
