Our compact hardwood floor cleaner machine holds 220 ml of water or cleaning solution – enough to get all your floors spotless in a single session. You receive four pairs of 18cm cleaning and buffing Pads with your PowerGlide City, all of which are machine washable, so you can use them again and again.

Cleaning performance is excellent. Once turned on, the Glide 2 is in suction-only mode, with a trigger to dispense cleaning solution. We like machines that auto-dose, but the advantage here is that it’s easy to saturate tough stains with the cleaning solution. It’s cordless so you need to charge the battery before you can use it and this didn’t take long at all. A fully charged battery gives you 45 minutes of cleaning time and realistically that is enough to clean all your home’s hard floors in one go, faster than ever before! You can even safely clean Karndean or Parquet flooring with the PowerGlide.Vacuuming performance is just as impressive. There are a few minor complains: the software isn’t quite as flexible as some of the competition, and if you have carpets it can be fiddly working out how to clean them without getting them wet. We’d also avoid using the integrated voice assistant, as it’s hard to get it to understand.

The Powerglide can clean up to 20sqm per minute, although speed will depend on how soiled your floor is: dirtier parts of a floor may require more attention. To test, I put the Powerglide through its paces in my kitchen, which routinely becomes dirty thanks to four cats coming in and going out. For tough stains and the best performance, theKarcher FC 5 Hard Floor Cleaneris hard to beat. This plug-in model automatically dispenses cleaning detergent onto the two microfibre rollers beneath the machine. These spin at high speed, buffing out stains and almost pulling you along with the rolling action. That violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); The Good Housekeeping Institute Review said “Fast and easy to use, the AirCraft PowerGlide is an impressive multipurpose floor cleaner that produces a great finish on a range of hard floors” Although the Powerglide is effective, it’s also relatively gentle, so ideal for more delicate floors. Just make sure you use the right cleaning fluid. And, once you’re done, you can even treat your hardwood floors with some liquid wax, making the Powerglide as versatile a floor cleaner as they come.After use, hard floors dried in a matter of seconds, which means you don't have to hang around waiting. It cleaned all of our stains and dirt effortlessly, too. However, we did notice that it left some light streaks around the edges and that it struggled to clean right into the grouting on tiled floors. That being said, it still did a good job of cleaning right up to the edges, thanks to the flexibility of the pads. First things first: this is a super-expensive robot vacuum cleaner and mop. So, what’s it doing on this list? Quite simply, it’s the best automated mop that we have reviewed before. While most robot vacuum cleaners that can mop usually just drip water onto a microfibre cloth, the X1 Omni is different. There’s a surprising amount of choice when it comes to cleaning hard floors. A steam cleaner can do a good job, alongside offering the versatility for cleaning other areas, but it can leave streaks. Plus, steam isn’t ideal for all surfaces.
