I am thinking of buying for the 2 features: mopping & vacumn

 

Since I have ceramic tiles in kitchen, hallways & storage room where my cat box is.  Everyday I lug out the big vacumn to do floors followed by washing with steamer.  (I know it's not a steamer but something like stiffer)

 

Does anyone use or have it?  I'm also having LVP floors installed which I "think" I can use on them.

 

Thank you!!

@homedecor1. Why don't you check reviews on Amazon?  I think iRobot has a similar device.  Also Bissell makes a machine that vacuums and mops all in one swipe.

I read that it was hard to find  the disposable pads. I bought the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro when it was a TSV on HSN. I really like it. It makes it so easy to vacuum and wash the floors at the same time. Also, it has a feature that cleans your carpets. It is nice to have that extra option. It was more expensive but worth it.

I watched the video presentation and I have a couple of questions. Do you have to use their cleaning solution?  They didn't show how to fill the solution and didn't show how to charge it.  I have top of the line vinyl plank and only use the cleaning solution that is made for my floor.  Do you think I could put my own cleaning solution in there?  And, I looked at the charger and it looks almost like an earbud.  Guess I'll have to check the schedule and see when the next presentation is going to be.

I read the reviews on Amazon & also went to Q&A on shark.

 

1) Pads can be bought on Amazon (which I did same price -- free s/h)

 

2) You can fill with just water OR cleaner of your choice.

 

I'm glad you posted about the LVP as Im having them installed throughout my home.   except kitchen I had ceramic tile planks done 2 years before I knew about LVP.

 

I was told by my contractor as you state certain cleaner. How do you like them?

 

 I had my bathrooms redone and used them vs. grouted tile.  I can't wait not to have to lug out vacumn everyday because of my kitty!

 

I will 🤞🏻 I like it because I vacumn & wipe my floors (esp kittyroom) every night ....

@elated 

 

I ordered them from Amazon -- looked like they had many configurations depending on what you need.  I ordered a single box.

 

Darn I missed that TS the crosswave was my 1st choice☹️

Re: HSN TS: Shark ProVac

Some things to consider about that Provac...

 

It does not have a replaceable battery which means when the battery will no longer recharge then the entire thing goes into the trash. But wait...the battery is lithium so technically that should not be placed into regular trash but should be appropriately disposed of at an electronics recycling place.

 

Also, those replacement pads are also made of plastic...no explanation needed about that part. We know the story about plastics in trash.

 

Okay, I'm off my soap box now....just shoot me.

@SilleeMee 

 

I watched the presentations I do not recall anyone stating they were plastic pads.

 

I have a Fuji camera I bought from QVC 10+ years ago my GD still uses it w/lithium rechargeable battery🙂

 

Hope I have the same luck with the battery on the Shark🤞🏻

@homedecor1, I ordered the Shark ProVac.  I was cleaning out my desk drawers and found a $20 off certificate from HSN, so that took the price down to $69.99, and I thought for that price I would be willing to take a chance.  I am physically handicapped and I am looking forward to not having a cord to contend with.  Even at that if I don't like it, I can send it back.

 

I love my vinyl plank floor.  I have it in the kitchen, the dining room, and both bathrooms.

The pad has a plastic tray attached to the top of it. The plastic tray is where the vacuumed debris goes. The entire pad/tray is disposable.
