As a family of five, it has always been a challenge maintaining a clean house for longer than a day.
The spills and thrills of three young kids quickly undoes any progress and finding the time to vacuum and mop between a busy schedule is near impossible.

This is the perfect option for us.
It sorts the vacuuming and mopping together in one go which is a huge plus when you’re time poor, not to mention the cleaning concentrate leaves the house smelling like it has been professionally cleaned.
After using the HydroVac for just a day my wife was left saying “where has this been all my life? It’s as though we’ve had the house professionally cleaned with such minimal effort”.
The speed that you can go from having floorboards marred with bolognese to a professionally-cleaned dining room was astonishing.
No sweeping, no wiping floors on hands and knees, no clumsy mop buckets.
Just fill up the tank, add the concentrate and watch the tomato stains disappear!
If it was just a powered mop, it would be well worth the $399.99 price tag.
But hard floors are just the beginning.
We have multiple rugs and carpets throughout the house and the HydroVac makes short work of the mud and crumbs that come with having boys.
In the past if we wanted to deep clean a rug, this would mean getting a can of carpet cleaning foam, vacuuming, spraying the foam, waiting, vacuuming again… Now a deep clean is one pass with the HydroVac. Job done!
The battery life on the HydroVac is 20 minutes on a full charge, which given how fast it cleans was enough to clean our kitchen, dining, living room and hallway.
Its lightweight compact design makes it very manoeuvrable and the charging station is a convenient place to charge, clean and store all in one place.
If you are time poor, have multiple floor types and kids, I couldn’t recommend this product more.
It’s an all in one floor cleaning weapon that makes what used to be a arduous task an absolute pleasure.

What did Sonny’s wife have to say?
Oh my goodness where has this been all my life?
We are a busy family of five and are at a place where we could do with the help of a cleaner coming in and cleaning our house, however we just don’t have the funds for a regular cleaner at this stage.
This is the perfect option for us! It sorts the vacuuming and mopping together in one go which is a huge plus when you’re time poor.
The house smells absolutely amazing as a result of using it! It’s as though we’ve had the house professionally cleaned with such minimal effort.
It makes cleaning the floors an absolute breeze because there are no cords, it’s heaps flexible when manoeuvring it around, it shines light on the floor so you can see better, it’s not very loud to run, the floors aren’t super wet after, it cleans up crusty milky cereal spills under the dining room table in one go, cleans the rugs, hard floors and carpets, I even tried it on the couch!
I also love that it’s straightforward to clean. I only wish that it ran for a little bit longer before needing a charge.
