does it mop the floor? Do you need cleaning solutions? where does the dirt get trapped? Is it big enough to clean one room?

It's not a mop or wet vac, Its strictly a sweeper. Works on wood flooring as well as carpeting. There's a receptacle on the bottom to catch dirt. I assume you were asking about the battery life when you asked about it doing more than one room. The answer is yes.

It is not a mop. It is a sweeper, the dirt gets trapped in a small tray under the bottom. I've used it on my kitchen floor a few times without having to empty it.

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)

No this item doesn't mop the floors, it is strictly a sweeper and if you have pets its not good for cleaning up the hair, the hair sticks to the unit and is very difficult to clean off, after I saw how it was I gave it to my son who doesn't have pets.

It works fantastic on tile or laminate. So well that when I steam mop there is very little dirt on the mop head. Very powerful suction. I have 7 indoor/outdoor animals so this machine is a must.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

No it does not. But because it is off the floor, it does not always pull all the dust off the floor. As long as you are mopping from time to time it is a complete vacuum.

Yes. It'll get you by for a few mopping jobs. I would suggest you order a set of cleaning pad refills and solution. I've been using the general solution so cannot tell you how effective the bare floor solution is.

I have the Steam Mop, too. This is cheaper (if I remember correctly, but I know this Bissell costs about $50 everywhere) and IMO works better when you use it with the cloths. I used it AFTER I had already steamed the floor and I still got a lot of dirt on the cloth, it really surprised me! The only CON I've come across with this is that you have to buy more cloths. Since I have a regular steamer still I've still used that between times when the floor looks like it needs a better clean up. If you have a fabric cloth big enough and thin enough to stick the corners into the little spots where the cloth goes you can use it with just the fabric and it works just like a regular steamer.

I think that the scooba does a decent enough job of getting crumbs if there aren't a lot, but the filter for the scooba is so much smaller than the dust particle bins of the roomba. If the floor is pretty dirty, which mine often is with two kids an a dog, I run the roomba and then the scooba, and it comes a lot cleaner than if I did it with a mop and bucket.

The mop I have has two heads. One is for cleaning and the other is white and "fluffy" and that one is definitely good for picking up dust and cat hair!

its not bad at all, it has a separate attachment for hardwood floors. i use it all the time on my hardwood and stone floors..picks up everything. it leaves the floor clean and ready for a quick mop. the best thing is that its also flat enough to go underneath sofas and furnitures.

I use it on all my hard floors, and it has really good suction and picks up pretty much everything. I usually clean the filters after using it, which helps also and you can see how much dirt and dust it really picked up.

You need to remember that it is pushing anything on the floor around and not picking or sucking it up as a vacuum would. The microfiber cloth works well as a dust cloth and picks up some of the hair. I would suggest that you vacuum if you truly want your floor free of debris. I have found that the robot works best as a wet mop

No, you mop one area then empty the dirty water, it is so much easier than wringing with your hands. I love mine!

The mop head can swivel to the other side of the mop which would be clean again. I also have the heavy duty mop which has one side that is very thick piling (is great for wood floors) and the other side is the terry cloth. I love both of them!

I have both the Scooba and the Hoover Floormate. I got the Floormate about 4 years ago. It definitely beats mopping by hand. But it still takes a lot of time, and unless you do it very slowly, doesn't pick up everything (dirt, water). If your floor is VERY dirty, as mine always was, you can spend a lot of time for a mediocre result. With the Scooba, however, there's a HUGE difference. Since the Scooba does everything for me, I clean my floors MUCH more frenquently. So they're cleaner to begin with, but the Scooba also does a better job scrubbing. This is because, at least on my floor, some of the solution gets left behind until the Scooba comes around for the next pass, so the dirt gets "soaked" and comes up more readily. With the Floormate, you can't really soak the floor unless you put down solution with the machine off, then wait, and then vacuum it up. If I had to choose, I would ABSOLUTELY go with the Scooba. I even thought about getting rid of the Floormate now that I have the Scooba, but I'll keep it around for big spills and such. Hope this helps!

It works great as a daily cleaner, but I don't think it would be your best bet for mildew. I don't think it has any ingredients that would eliminate the mildew. As for floors, it is good for spot cleaning, but I'm not sure about mopping the entire floor. I haven't tried it for that. This company does make a floor cleaner, though.
