I really like the Shark Hydrovav for a few reasons: it’s very convenient, powerful, and pretty simple to use. I love the (almost) one step process of cleaning our hardwood floors. I also really like the smell of the provided cleaner, which makes your house smell clean. The only downside to the Hydrovac is that the filter, tank, and vacuum roll must be cleaned immediately after vacuuming or else the parts start to smell - so you need to be prepared to do that also when you clean up - which makes it slightly less convenient.
