Have had this F25 LT for a couple of months now and am very happy with the purchase. This is our first wet/dry vacuum/mop so I don’t have anything to compare it to however with having dogs and cats in the house, as well as in-laws who make messes comparable to children at times I’m very happy I have this to grab when needing to clean up the floor rather than any other mop or vacuuming then mopping like I have in the past. Granted it doesn’t replace the vacuum entirely, it does an amazing job and replaced all my mops. It gets super close to the edges of the wall with the vacuum and mop and the self cleaning and drying of the roller works wonders. I read some reviews about stuff getting caught up or clogging up the vacuum but I’ve had no issues with that. Obviously you do have to clean out the debris trap well and sometimes I’ll run the auto clean twice but that still doesn’t replace having to clean it out. It’s not magical and does need to be cleaned/washed by hand which I expected so was no surprise to me even with the self cleaning doing as great of a job as it does. It isn’t loud at all, it saves so much time, it lays flat and still cleans underneath things that are tall enough for it to fit under (as long as the handle is faced up and down, otherwise the vacuum will raise up rather than staying flat to the floor for cleaning). The suction has worked great for my needs (dirt, dust, animal hair, and stuff tracked in by the dogs or on shoes from outside). It is light and looks sleek in my opinion as well. As mentioned before, other than a carpet shampooer I don’t have anything comparable to the vacuum mop to compare this to but i absolutely love it and it didn’t take any effort to put together. Would definitely recommend!! Read more
I’ve used many different vacuum cleaners in the past, but this one is truly unique! It’s so easy to use and incredibly powerful, making floor cleaning an enjoyable experience. The ability to vacuum and mop at the same time is a game-changer, and it reaches edges precisely for a thorough clean. My only wish is for an option to select vacuum-only mode in addition to the vacuum + mop function. That would make it even more versatile. Overall, an excellent product that has made cleaning faster and more efficient! Highly recommend. Read more
The media could not be loaded. This vacuum is saving me so much work! I’ve never had a wet/dry vacuum before. I used a mop and bucket for years. Then I went to a steam mop. That was great for the cleaning of bacteria but I had to keep changing the mop cover from room to room. Next I went with a rotary mop. But again you’re just pushing dirty water around on the floor unless you are very disciplined and mop every day. This mop is great! I wanted something that would get up a little dirt and still clean the floor. This is it. I have a Miele vacuum and it does a wonderful job of cleaning the debris off the floor and everywhere else. But you still have to clean the floor of smears or bacteria. And this vacuum makes it convenient to just use it without using my other vacuum every time. It is nice to be able to grab it for a messy doggy floor of prints and mud or slopped water and pumpkin from their food. We have three dogs. Two French Bulldogs and one Staffordshire Terrier. The Staffy sheds like crazy. So there is always hair on the floor. All she has to do is walk and hair will be behind her. So keeping up is really a chore. But this vacuum will help me a lot. That said, I did find that I will need to dump the dirt part of the dirty water tank out about halfway doing my house. Because the dog hair clogged up the filter and the water was dripping onto the floor. Also little clumps of hair started to clump on the floor. So I knew I needed to empty it. I did not vacuum first before I used the Roborock today. I think their filter could be a little bigger. That and the short cord is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. There was hardly any clean water used it seemed. The dirty tank had very little water. It could have been from all the dog hair clogging it up. And I vacuum almost every day! But if I were to vacuum first and then use this little cleaner it would not have given me any issues I’m sure. But what’s the point of that? The whole reason I bought this was so I wouldn’t have to vacuum first. We also have an old house. It was built in ‘57. So there are not a lot of electrical outlets or even in the right places. We have redone most of the house. But the laundry room and sun room haven’t had any outlets added. And that is where I chose to put this vacuum. The cord on this vacuum isn’t very long. And my outlet is about chest high on the wall. Even with the vacuum right under the outlet it wouldn’t reach. So I bought an outlet strip and mounted it down lower on the wall. Now the cord reaches just fine and is even wrapped inside under the vacuum stand. I had no problem with the battery life. I did more than half of my Ranch house and still had two bars of battery. It is not very heavy at all. Maybe five pounds. Even filled with water it is easy to lift and carry. Also this little vacuum really goes! It moves all by itself! You don’t have to push it. That is frustrating to me a bit because when I need to slow down or stop it doesn’t want to. So I will be checking to see if there is a way to change that setting. After I finished what I wanted to clean today, I emptied the dirty tank and cleaned the parts. Put it in its stand and started the cleaning cycle. That was impressive! Cleans itself and at something like 194 degrees which kills about 99.9% bacteria. Don’t quote me on that but it’s was somewhere around there. That right there is why I got the F25 LT over some of the other models. One of the other models I looked at didn’t clean that hot. It seems very durable. There are a lot of plastic parts but if you are careful and care for it I think it should last a long time and be a good value for your money. I did get it on a sale at $279. Which is pricey but I was looking down the road and since it works as advertised I think it is worth the money. The cleaning solution it came with works very well and has a nice light scent. You only have to use one quarter of the cap to add to the clean water tank. I checked on Amazon and the bottle to purchase is not inexpensive. So I may look for an alternative. All in all I’m happy with this purchase. Read more
I had high hopes that this combo wet and dry vacuum would be really useful for grabbing and cleaning the three floors and stairs in the townhouse I moved into. I also have a Roborock robot vacuum with self cleaning box which has been wonderful and I generally think highly of the brand and the technology of their products. Sadly I am not happy at all with this. The townhouse has carpet, bamboo and tiled flooring so this having wet and dry seemed like a no Brainer. Setting everything up was straight forward. I like that they include an extra filter and also some cleaning detergent. The usage is also easy and there is voice recognition to let you know how what function you have selected. One of the supposedly great features is that this is self cleaning. In practice I find this truly useless and actually very messy. Using it in dry mode I find it really doesn't pick up much, especially on carpet or an area rug and that's on max mode. Using it in wet mode with water and detergent in the tank makes for a very wet and messy time, especially when activating self cleaning. There is water everywhere, literally. And the charging base is left soaked and full of slimy dirt. I do not know if the one I have is faulty but I just can't understand this machine. I previously had a Dyson V8 and that was terrible as the battery would last only a few minutes so had high hopes for this. Having three floors makes cleaning quite challenging so a wireless vacuum is definitely a better option but I feel really disappointed with this and I'm surprised Roborock even brought this to market.
