DREAME H12 PRO Vacuum Mop
Ranked #3 in Best Wet Dry Vacuum Mops

2 sources$219.99as of Oct 11

The Dreame H12 Pro is a premium wet and dry vacuum for hard floors, with a 700 ml dirty water tank, and self-cleaning that finishes with hot air drying. Trusted Reviews found it effective on tough stains and easy to use, but reported the automatic dirt sensor barely responds. Battery life runs 35 minutes, and at 72-73 dB it's quieter than most models. Anyone who wants one high-performance cleaner will be satisfied; those counting on intuitive automatic settings won't.

Strengths
  • — Effective cleaning of tough stains including sauce and coffee marks
  • — Self-cleaning function with hot air drying of the roller
  • — Large dirty water tank capacity of 700 ml (23.6 oz.)
Watch-outs
  • — Confusing mode selection with unclear ultramode function
  • — Dirt sensor not very sensitive in adjusting suction power

Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam
1 source$749as of Oct 17

The Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam is a cordless, self-propelled vacuum mop with a steam mode, a self-cleaning dock and a 0.88-litre clean-water tank. Vacuum Wars found it among the strongest hard floor cleaners it has measured, with 151 points in its dried-on stain test, 0.4 g of water left behind and a 75-minute battery run. Popular Science found it handled pet hair, spills and an old berry stain on linoleum, ran far more quietly than a full-size vacuum and never tangled the roller. It suits owners of large hard-floored homes, pets included, who want vacuuming, mopping and steam in one machine; anyone who struggles with a 13.5 lb machine or mainly has carpet should look elsewhere.

Strengths
  • — Scored 151 in Vacuum Wars' dried-on stain test, against a 140-point average
  • — Left 0.4 g of water on the floor in Vacuum Wars' test, against a 1 g average
  • — Ran 75 minutes in Vacuum Wars' battery test, against a 35-minute category average
Watch-outs
  • — Heavy at 6,148 g (13.5 lb), the second-heaviest model Vacuum Wars compared
  • — 0.88-litre water tank is smaller than the 1-litre category average
  • — Not built for deep carpet cleaning; it handles light rug passes only

How they stack up

DREAME H12 PRO Vacuum Mop

The DREAME H12 PRO Vacuum Mop has a 700 ml dirty water tank and a 900 ml clean water tank, against 400 ml and 600 ml on the DREAME G10 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum Mop, and its 18,000Pa suction is above the G10 Pro's 16,000 Pa. Its self-cleaning ends with hot air drying of the roller. How-To Geek lists it at 400W against 210 W for the Bissell CrossWave Edge, but its dirt sensor is not very sensitive.

Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam

At its $749 listing the S9 Artist Steam is a flagship alternative to the Bissell CrossWave Edge, the DREAME H12 PRO and Tineco's own Floor ONE i5 Stretch, distinguished by a dedicated steam mode and a 75-minute measured runtime. Its 13.5 lb weight and 0.88-litre tank are the plain costs of that steam system.
