Fresh Liquid Pickup Speed

The strong suction and dedicated liquid pickup mode let the H14 Pro clear large wet spills like milk, cereal and fresh ketchup quickly, minimizing the time liquid sits on hard floors.

Users find that the CrossWave quickly vacuums up fresh liquid, whether from the self-clean tray or solution laid on the floor, rarely leaving standing puddles behind.

The S7 Pro quickly vacuums up liquid spills like syrup and juice while leaving minimal standing water, making it safe for sensitive hardwood floors.

Quickly clears common wet spills such as cereal and milk in a single pass, picking up both liquid and larger chunks without clogging.

This wet-dry cleaner excels at removing fresh spills, rapidly sucking up liquids like milk or water in a single pass while simultaneously washing the floor.

When it detects a fresh spill, it prioritizes mopping, makes multiple passes, and can return to the dock to rinse pads before finishing the same spot, which helps clean wet messes quickly without spreading them.

Picks up large amounts of liquid quickly and efficiently, and recent glow-in-the-dark wet tests show it can sometimes deal with heavy spills in fewer passes than rival cordless floor washers.

Fresh spills like milk, yogurt, syrup, and other liquids are commonly reported to clear in a single slow pass, and the dedicated suction-only mode helps remove pooled water quickly without adding more liquid.

The roller mop can pick up fresh liquid spills without smearing, processing wet messes into the onboard tank more quickly than pad based mops.

The roller mop system sprays solution and squeegees excess into a tank, handling fresh liquid spills more effectively and with less spreading than spinning or single pad mops.

Dry mode quickly handles fresh spills and liquids without issue, keeping surfaces usable fast.

Picks up fresh liquid quickly, showing strong first-pass clearing on large spills compared with the Shark, though the heaviest sticky messes may still need a couple of passes.

For small fresh liquid spills, the damp pad can absorb and wipe up minor messes, but capacity is limited and there is no wet suction. Users are advised to manually wipe larger spills before the robot reaches them.

Fresh liquid pickup is slower and messier than the S14, as the pad design tends to spread wet spills without efficiently recovering the excess water.

Processes small liquid spills acceptably, but can bog down on larger volumes and slow pickup.

The HVR160 is a dry-only vacuum and is not designed for sucking up liquids, so it is not a good choice for wet spills or wet/dry tasks. Users who need liquid pickup are typically directed to other Numatic models or a dedicated wet/dry vacuum.
