I thought a lightweight, cordless , quiet wet/dry vacuum sounded like a great idea. We have two small dogs, two cats, and two large fish tanks. Our wood laminate and tile floors get pretty dirty, so here's my warning: This product is not for heavy duty jobs! You cannot control the amount of cleaning fluid that comes out (there's way too little). The first time I used it I really thought there was something wrong. What was wrong is that I believed I could get a good wet/dry vacuum cleaner for around $200. I guess I have to stop being so cheap and get a bigger, more powerful one. Extremely disappointing!
