Is the Shark HydroVac Cordless WD210UK worth it?
Yes — the best budget wet and dry floor cleaner.
It cleans hard floors quickly, deals well with wet food spills and stains, and its self-clean and anti-odour system stop the roller going musty. It's light and easy to steer. It has no vacuum-only mode, so it isn't for rugs, it doesn't get right to the edges, and the battery lasts about 25 minutes, which suits a flat or a kitchen and hallway more than a big house.
