  The HydroVac reliably handles larger debris like spilled food, cereal, kitty litter and even heavier mixes of grains and sauces, usually clearing typical kitchen messes in one or two passes and only leaving a trace of heavy grit for follow-up passes.

• Headlight & LED lights ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
  Tests point to bright onboard LEDs that spotlight dust and crumbs on hard floors, helping users see and pick up fine debris even in dim or shadowed areas, though a few testers wish the beam angle were slightly better aligned with where dirt tends to collect.
• Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.5
  Across reviews, the HydroVac is seen as a convenient, time-saving 3 in 1 hard floor cleaner that excels at everyday kid and pet messes and can even tackle occasional heavy spills, though noise and the need for regular self-cleaning and rinsing mean some owners still keep a separate tool for rare deep cleans.
• Emptying & Mess Control ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
  Users appreciate that solid debris and dirty liquid are separated into different compartments, making it straightforward to empty cereal, hair and other solids without splashing dirty water, though especially thick or extreme messes can leave sludge that benefits from a thorough rinse-out.
• Aesthetic design & finish ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Reviewers describe the HydroVac as a sleek, charcoal-grey appliance with a modern, premium look that blends into contemporary kitchens and utility spaces rather than looking like a bulky cleaner.

  Reviewers appreciate the antimicrobial brush roll and self-clean cycle, which together help keep the internals from developing musty smells even after tackling wet, messy spills.

  Reviewers note that suction feels strong for a wet-dry vac, pulling up wet spills and dry crumbs quickly enough that most everyday messes are cleared in just a few passes.
• Self-cleaning cycle ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Owners find the dock-based self-cleaning cycle useful for flushing out the roller and internal channels after normal use, though heavy or sticky messes and everyday gunk still require manual emptying of the dirty tank and some extra cleaning and drying of the brush roll.
• Battery & Charging ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Reviews suggest that real-world runtime of around 25 minutes is enough for a whole level of many homes, with the dock providing a convenient parking and charging point between sessions.

  Feedback highlights straightforward controls, with the machine defaulting to hard-floor mode, a clearly labeled freshen button and an LED display that shows cleaning mode, battery life and solution levels at a glance.
• Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2
  Overall feedback says it delivers strong everyday mopping on sealed hard floors and light rugs, easily clearing common spills and even surprisingly heavy dried-on messes, though deep sanitizing still trails a dedicated steam mop.
• Dried-On Stain Removal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Owners report that the machine can loosen and remove dried-on spills and food residues with a few slow passes, often clearing most stuck mess in a couple of strokes while sometimes needing extra attention for stubborn grit like sand.
• Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Most reviewers see the HydroVac as fairly priced for a 3 in 1 vac-mop, especially when discounted, though they also factor in the cost of proprietary cleaning solution and periodic filter and brush-roll replacements.
• Water tank ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0
  Reviews describe the solution tank as easy to fill using the marked water and concentrate lines, and it clicks securely into place yet removes quickly for refilling at the sink, with enough capacity for a good-sized kitchen but sometimes needing a refill on very large expanses of flooring.
• Storage footprint & upright-stand stability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
  Owners appreciate that the machine stands upright on a compact dock that stores tools and lets the roller dry, though some reviewers note it is still about the size of a standard cordless vacuum and can feel bulky without a dedicated corner or utility area.
• Streaking / Residue ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Early reviews suggest that while the HydroVac leaves a light layer of solution, hard floors and rugs are not left sodden and generally dry without obvious streaks or residue.
• Solution / Liquid system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9
  Automatic solution dispensing keeps operation simple and leaves floors smelling fresh, and most floors dry quickly, though users cannot adjust the moisture level or switch to a vacuum-only mode and some are frustrated by the reliance on Shark’s own solution and its refill availability.
• Suitability for heavy-duty use ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
  Reviewers say it excels at everyday spills and light messes and can even cope with occasional heavy, dried-on kitchen disasters, though some still keep a heavier machine on hand for very stubborn dirt or dedicated deep cleaning sessions.
• Noise level ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
  Some reviewers describe the HydroVac as louder than a typical cordless vacuum, particularly during its brief self-clean cycle, while others, like this tester, find it relatively quiet and unobtrusive for everyday hard-floor cleaning, so overall noise is noticeable but tolerable for short sessions.
• Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.5
  Users note that the self-clean cycle, pop-out roller and removable cover make it straightforward to rinse out the internals, but most find they still need to empty the dirty tank and clean and air-dry the brush roll after each session, which adds some time to ownership.
• Area Rug Handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Owners find it works well for quick passes on low-pile and small area rugs when used sparingly with solution, but they avoid over-wetting and still prefer traditional vacuums for deeper carpet cleaning.
• Scratch resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Reviewers appreciate the antimicrobial brush roll and self-clean cycle, which help keep the internals from developing musty smells after wet, messy spills, as long as the dirty water tank is emptied promptly rather than left to sit.
