The Bissell Flip is very good! It is an excellent idea to use one appliance to quickly vacuum the floor then wash it over. I have previously used the Vax hard floor cleaner but this is much better.
Hard floor vacuuming The vacuum is lightweight and easy to handle. Although it can never compare with my Dyson animal for vacuuming it is suitable for the job of cleaning pet hairs and other bits from a tiled floor. I have found it is best to vacuum the whole area to be washed first, rather than trying to vacuum one section then wash and then vacuum the next section, as i did, and found that once used wet the vacuum suction tends to get clogged up easily.
Hard floor washing The containers for both the cleaning product and dirty water tank are well made (no leaks). It operates well with a good brush to get right into the grout and does not over wet the floor. It also has very good suction to pick up the dirty water. One disadvantage is that the black rubber edge on the vacuum that acts as a buffer to avoid damage to furniture does tend to leave a black mark on pvc french door frames etc.
Overall I am very impressed!
