AirCraft PowerGlide Cordless Rechargeable Hard Floor Cleaner and Polisher With 4 Cleaning Buffing Pads, Perfect for Wood, Tile, Laminate and Hard Floors, White

Product Information

The Powerglide uses two rotating microfibre cloths alongside a spray control to direct your choice of detergent where you want it to go. It cleans well, it can handle more delicate floors, and even has cloths designed for waxing and polishing. An upgrade on the original, the Vax ONEPWR Glide 2 boosts power, ease of use and edge performance while maintaining many features that made the original so good. If you’ve mostly got hard floors and want them looked after automatically, then this is an exceptional robot vacuum cleaner and mop.

All of these models are built to take care of hard floors, with dedicated cleaning heads and detergent formulated to clean up dirt and leave a streak-free finish. Hard floors are where this cleaner excels, dealing with stubborn stains with ease, leaving a nice shiny floor at the end. Impressively, the CrossWave Cordless Max is also a decent vacuum cleaner in its own right, so there’s no need to clean up with a vacuum cleaner first; in fact, the only thing you’ll need a regular vacuum cleaner for is to get into tight gaps and for edge cleaning. 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. Overall, the innovative design combines the cleanliness of using a mop with the convenience and technology of a steam cleaner. It's a useful gadget to have, especially for those who struggle with washing the floors on a weekly basis. How well does it work?For light, everyday cleaning, the pink pads will suffice, however for anything more than light soiling, the blue pads will help to produce a streak-free finish. It was also much faster than using a mop, with a single charge lasting for a decent length of time (30-40 minutes). Not to mention, the 0.3-litre tank gave us more than enough water to cover a wide space.

As with the first product, the Glide 2 is part of the ONEPWR range of devices, which includes vacuum cleaners, spot cleaners and more. This model ships with a 4Ah battery, but you can use any ONEPWR battery from other products. If you’ve got other products, that’s handy, as you can boost runtime here by reusing your existing batteries. In testing, the Beldray Detergent Steam Cleaner did a decent job of getting rid of most of the messes we’d left on both smooth and textured tiles in one go. When taking these tests individually, in steaming a patch of rug for 30 seconds, there was a saturation in the colours of the rug after the 30 seconds, although the mop hadn’t quite got rid of a small stain the rug. When removing dried muddy footprints from a laminate floor though, the mop fully removed them in 20 second without any marks or residue, while in our toughest test (a combo of coffee and tomato paste dried into a patch of tiles), it took around 2 and a half minutes for the stain to be fully removed, although only 30 seconds to remove the superficial staining. 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.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.

If it’s a properly affordable steam mop you’re after, the Beldray Detergent Steam Cleaner should be a fantastic choice. The water trigger is easy to use too, which meant we were able to deliver a controlled and wide spray of water to clean with. The design of the floor head is a little bulky but it's not too tall and the long handle flexes almost parallel to the floor, meaning it can reach under sofas and other low furniture with ease. It can be a little awkward to navigate around furniture or fragile decor though.It comes in a turquoise and white colour scheme and is a mop that’s both sturdy and easy to work with. This Beldray candidate can also stand up on its own and be easily diassembled as the mop’s metallic handle can be removed at the touch of a button. In addition, we also found this mop to be easy to move around thanks to the fact it’s both lightweight and comes with a 5m cable. The first thing of which I became aware was that it’s essential to vacuum first. There’s no vacuuming action on the Powerglide, so surface dirt just gets flung around. What you want is a floor that has more ingrained marks, free of dust. Here, I’ve selected the top four cleaners, with both plug-in and battery-powered models. I’ve chosen a selection of cleaners, too, including polishers, vacuums and roller systems, so that you can find the right type for your home. We measured battery life at 21m 13s in our tests, which was enough to clean our 25m² kitchen and wiz around the rest of our downstairs. How many hard floors you have and how dirty they are will affect your cleaning range.
