Shark WD261 HydroVac MessMaster Heavy Duty 3-in-1 Cordless Self-Cleaning Multi-Surface Cleaner

For daily messes, mostly yes. The Shark WD261 handles kitchen spills and everyday floor dirt well enough to retire the mop and bucket in most homes. It doesn't always deliver: one unit barely wet the floor and pushed cereal around. Use Stain Boost on sticky or dried-on spots.

Yes. The WD261 is light enough to grab for a quick cleanup, and it's easy on anyone who finds mopping hard work. It's cordless, so there's no cable to manage as you go from the kitchen to the hallway.

Well. The WD261's self-clean cycle on the dock rinses the system after use, and the dirty-water tank is easy to empty and rinse out. You'll still handle two tanks, clean and dirty, but the messiest part of the job is done for you.

Sealed hard floors: hardwood, tile, marble and laminate. Shark also says the WD261 removes surface dirt and odors from area rugs, so it freshens a rug rather than deep-cleaning one.

Shark says Stain Boost puts down 2x the cleaning solution of normal mode, for stubborn spots and high-traffic areas. The box includes a multi-surface concentrate that Shark says neutralizes pet odors.
