Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Shark HydroDuo is great and seems to do a great job at truly cleaning the floors. Not sure what Dirt-Reveal Technology is but it seems to work. It works great on hardwood and linoleum floors. Despite its powerful performance, it’s very quiet—we could still hear the TV while it was running. The cordless feature is awesome; combined with its lightweight design, it’s easy to transport anywhere. It swivels effortlessly, making tight turns and cleaning small spaces efficiently. The built-in light is an excellent addition, helping to avoid picking up small items like lost earrings. The all-in-one feature is fantastic—you don’t need a separate mop, and the mop head is effective at scrubbing up spills and stains. The mop fluid container is simple to fill, and the controls are very user-friendly. It can be a little the same for big jobs but should be ok for most applications. The charging stand rack is stable and supports the vacuum’s weight securely. The battery charge indicator is bright and makes it easy to monitor the charge status. Additionally, the catch bin is easy to access, open, empty, and replace. Overall, this is a fantastic product that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and effective vacuum/mop combo.

It's no secret to those who know me that I'm not thrilled with all these portable vacuums and similar devices that have come out in recent years, even some of the big names have said they are done making plug-in devices in favor of these, but I always feel they are underpowered or just not capable enough. Shark has changed my mind with this one. I recently moved into a house with only hardwood floors, so this device is exactly what the doctor ordered. Packaging: Nothing real special here, you have the device, a bottle of solution and a base for charging. It's in the normal blue Shark box as all of their items are, so don't expect wonders with the packaging, but it's basically an appliance, so it doesn't need bells and whistles. Set up: Easy, pop in the handle, brush is preinstalled, fill the tank with solution + water mix, charge the battery and off you go. Not really much else to say here. Cleaning: Like I said above, I was skeptical, I didn't think yet another battery powered cleaning device would do that great of a job, fortunately I was wrong. It seems to be more than up to the task for cleaning my entire house, it's not terribly loud. I do wish it had a wider track since I am using it everywhere. Solution seems to last a while per use, so that's a good thing. It picks up everything in the way, though it does have an easier time with larger things, that said it gets up all the cat hair (and cat messes) with ease, stronger suction would be good, but again, I haven't really had big issues with it, it's more of a wish than a need. Cleanup: After finishing with it, there is some cleanup as with all devices of this style, it doesn't have a lot of pieces so cleanup is relatively easy, though the hardest part is cleaning the main unit versus the rollers and such, fortunately it is lightweight so flipping it over to get out the remainder of the debris is easy. It may just be me though, I tend to get kind of intense with cleanup of these devices, so I use a hose outside. With the battery attached, just be careful not to get the whole thing wet. Overall: I do like it, it's a massive step up from similar portables I've had in the past, is it perfect? No, but it does get the job done. I would happily recommend it. Why 5 stars? When compared to everything else similar I've used in recent memory, it is the best option.

This is the second Shark cordless product that we have and I have to say that Shark has done it again. This HyrdoDuo is a game changer. We have all hardwood floors in our home and we use a robotic vacuum (also by Shark) that we have programmed to clean everyday. We use now us this for spot cleaning + this is basically a mop. I love the fact that this is a cordless stick vacuum, as our other Shark is. The battery is very efficient and will clean our entire 2400 sq ft home. This vacuum also allows you to get under tables, and some furniture. I like the fact that Shark has made this model a lot lighter in weight that our older model which is impressive because its still very powerful. It has a lot to offer as well, a light that allows you to see what is actually on the floor and I was pleasantly surprised in how well this feature works, my wife says it actually works better if you leave the light in the room off and allow the light on the vacuum to illuminate the floor that you can see more. It comes w/ a mount that also houses some of the attachments, and allows you to store it. The canister that collects the dirt can be removed and cleaned, it also comes w/ a bottle of concentrate cleaner. You do have to assemble which is a breeze. This vacuum can be used everyday to spot clean spills, or just like a normal stick vacuum, or mop and clean at the same time. I also like the feature of the spray. This is a very well made, lightweight stick vacuum that is very powerful. I would recommend this product.

I’ve been a fan of Ninja products for some time now, and recently, I went with a cordless vacuum that to my surprise was super powerful even to pick up thick dog hair from our two dogs. Seeing the power of cordless Shark products, I decided to also give this cordless duo cleaner a try and have been impressed with the power and how shiny it leaves the floor. I do vacuum the whole house prior to using this floor cleaner, and so with my personal use, it’s rarely picking up additional dirt. I recommend using it this way. I use it as a mob and floor scrubber. If you have dogs, you know that by the water bowl you’ll find spots that can be hard to remove. I like that this floor cleaner can do most of them on one passing, but if it’s too dirty I pass it twice, and it’s gone right away. Another thing I really like it’s the battery and the low sound. You can barely tell you’re using this once it’s powered on. Also, the battery has lasted me two full usages. That is decent and works for me because I find that the vacuum sometimes dies in between a cleaning because of all the dog hair is picking up. I appreciate that the battery on this one is better. All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to move away from a traditional mop or scrubber, because this one does the job and is a bit more convenient. Enjoying it so far!

I was really looking forward to getting rid of my current 3-device floor cleaning routine and replace them with this device, but alas...I will need to keep looking. About my space: I live in a small studio apartment with my dog, who sheds almost constantly. We have laminate and tile flooring, so the only carpeting I was able to test this device on a small area rug. Dirt level: Because of my dog's near constant shedding, there's *always* hair on the floor to be cleaned up. I don't wear shoes in the apartment, so no real messy foot traffic. Other than that, just your typical level of dirt and debris on the floor. Pros: - Lightweight - Cordless - "Dirt Reveal" technology (aka, a headlight) Cons: - Battery life is pretty short - I didn't even clean my whole studio and the battery dropped by a 1/3 after being fully charged - While I said it being lightweight was a pro, honestly I think it is too lightweight - I'm short (5'3'' on a good day), and while vacuuming/mopping I inadvertently was lifting up the back of the device as I pulled the device back and forth. If I'm able to do that being as short as I am, I'd imagine it'd be even easier to accidentally be doing it for a taller person. - Suction/cleaning power - I tried it multiple times in different areas of my apartment both before sweeping and after sweeping, and thanks to the Dirt-Reveal light, I was able to see that regardless of how clean the floor was before, the device was not sucking much up. The wet function was decent, but the dry function left a lot to be desired. Back to the drawing board, I guess!

Set up This cordless wet and dry hard floor cleaning system is lightweight and easy to use. It was easy to set up and even came with an instruction manual. I liked that I didn’t have to go online and download anything. Another helpful feature is that error message explanations are on top of the solution tank. Thus, you don’t have hunt for the manual should you encounter one. First Use My first use of the tool was on 4x4” tile. I first used the dry only cleaning on the floors to pick up hair and debris. Then I used the mop feature. While the floors glistened afterwards, the brush didn’t quite reach the grout lines. Overall, I thought it performed well and was convenient to use. Second Use My next use was on sealed hardwood floors. The dirt-reveal feature is eye opening. It definitely illuminates crumbs, dust, and pet hair. Even though we keep our house clean and vacuum often, the debris amount was surprising. Therefore, I decided to use dry only feature first. The tool picked up a lot of dirt. However, the battery drained quickly and I wasn’t able to complete this task. I put the cleaner into its docking station to recharge which took about 4 hours. Once fully charged, I wet mopped. I barely finished before the battery lost its charge. However, our floors looked amazing. Clean Up Shark made it easy to clean up after using the HydroDuo. It was easy to remove the nozzle cover, brush, and debris holder and then reassemble the pieces once they were dry. Overall It is easy to use. The Dirt Reveal Technology ensures you are reaching the right spots for a clean and shiny floor. I wish the battery lasted more than 30 minutes, but it is a really a good solution for a quick small job.

Right at the start, I’ll say this: I love the DUO. As a fan of Shark products for years, I presume I will like a product with the Shark name. Very rarely have I been disappointed. My downstairs floors are all firm surface; and there are often spills in the kitchen, a pet dropping wet food pieces on the floor near his food and water station, and more. For hard floor clean and shine, I have a large self-propelled electric spin-pads cleaner. It does a great job, but it is heavy, has a long power cord that has to be moved around and plugged/unplugged at various outlets. For small area cleaning, it is a lot to deal with. As a result, I was doing a lot of bending down or getting on my knees to do a quick clean. Inconvenient and not great for the back and knees. The Duo had already proven itself to be an excellent alternative, which began to display themselves right out to the box. *Before removing Duo from its box, I could already feel its weight was going to be back saver. Assembly of the components is quite easy. (Do check the easy-to-read diagram enclosed.) *The only power cord to deal with is for the battery charging station. When the battery is fully charged, there is lots of cleaning time available. For my first run, I cleaned all the downstairs area. Based on battery usage, as shown on an easy to see indicator, cleaning the area could have been repeated again and again before losing power. *Using the DUO is so easy, and it is noticeably quiet! It is self-propelled, but not at the pace that has you hang on for the ride. The pace is very comfortable, control is effortless, the cleaning fluid release button is located conveniently in the ergonomic handle, and there is no power cord to get in your way. For “Senior Citizens” such as I, the DUO is exceptionally kind to hands, arms, and backs. *There is a light on the left front corner of the console to assist in identifying small residue that might to unnoticed otherwise. *The brushroll is made of absorbent microfiber and is self-cleaning. The bristles are soft, so with proper care there is no worry of scratching the floor surface. *Debris swept up channels into a holding tray. This tray can easily be emptied into your trash bin when the job is completed. *Cleaning the DUO components after floor cleaning is done is an uncomplicated process. Some disassembly and reassembly are required; and if you refer once again to the easy-to-follow diagram included, you’ll do fine. *NOTE. There is one thing the DUO IS NOT, as apparently some buyers have misunderstood. It is not a vacuum cleaner, as there is no cleaning done by suction. Wet and dry cleaning functions (hence DUO) are done by dry brush or wet brush using liquid cleaner. The HYDRODUO is another highly useful floor cleaner in the Shark product line, and I expect to use it frequently. Needing a spot clean or a large area, the DUO is ready to provide assistance. I look forward to using my DUO for a long time. Absolutely, I would recommend to family and friends. It could be a very handy holiday gift, too.

The Shark HydroDuo is a cordless less vacuum that can clean up floors by both sucking up dry debris and using a spray nozzle and roller brush to mop the floor. Out of the box, assembly is extremely quick. It is basically taking the handle assembly and inserting it into the lower assembly. It is fairly light and has a largely matte gray color scheme. There is a base that charges the Shark HydroDuo, which needs to be plugged into the wall. The instructions said to let the vacuum charge fully the first time before using, so I set it on the plugged-in base, and it was ready for use shortly thereafter. In the charging base, the unit stands 46 inches tall. It is very easy and intuitive to use. There is a water tank on the front that pops off, and I filled it up to a marked line with water and then up to a second line with the included Shark cleaning fluid. I put the water tank back on the vacuum and I was ready. First, I tried using the Shark HydroDuo on dry debris only. There is nothing to do but turn on the unit and start sweeping. It is very easy to sweep; it almost pulls forward slightly with each sweep, but it is also easy to pull back with each sweep. It cleaned debris like hair and dust very well. It was moderately quiet. There is a light near the floor that shines just in front of the unit so that debris is very visible. So there is nothing to do differently or other buttons to push to use the Shark HydroDuo for mopping. There is a trigger in the handle that I depressed to squirt water directly in front of the unit in a fan pattern. Then I just swept like normal and the unit would pick up debris while the roller was loosening wet debris and picking that up, too. So to be clear, the Shark HydroDuo can be used as a vacuum only; just don't use the spray. Or, it can be used as both a vacuum and mop at the same time by utilizing the spray. Once I was done, cleaning up the debris tray was very fast. There is a dry debris tray that is emptied into the trash, and then a wet debris container that can be emptied into the trash or sink. And then all of that, plus the roller brush, can be rinsed out and set out to dry. Regarding the results of my usage. The Shark HydroDuo did an excellent job cleaning dry debris, both when using the sprayer and when not using the sprayer. When it comes to the mopping, the Shark HydroDuo did a decent job of loosening debris but only an average job of pulling up the spray/debris combo 'dirty water' off the floor, especially along wall edges. It certainly wasn't a deal breaker, but I did use a paper towel to dry/clean along the edge of my baseboards where was still a small excess of 'dirty water'. My suggestions is that the unit have slightly stronger water suction, and maybe an interchangeable roller bar with a slightly firmer or more textured surface to help with tougher, dried debris. Overall, I still plan on using the unit on all of my wood and tile floors. The Shark HydroDuo is not for carpet cleaning. It does a great job as a sweeper, and a slightly above average as a mop. It is light, very easy to use and maintain, and I would recommend it for anyone with wood, laminate, or tile floors.

The Shark HydroDuo Cordless Wet/Dry with Dirt-Reveal Floor Cleaner rocks! I was skeptical at first as it was so easy to assemble, lightweight and the head cleaning unit is small. The floor cleaner only takes a couple of minutes to assemble once it is out of the box and should be fully charged before using it for the first time. Once charged, their is a liquid fill container to which you simply add water to the water fill-line then add a bit of Shark Hydro Multi-Surface Concentrate to the concentrate fill-line. The concentrate enables fast drying, streak-free cleaning with no sticky residue and neutralizes any floor odors that may exist. A 16 ounce "Spring Clean" bottle is only $12.99 at Best Buy. As our house is 3500+ sf, I thought I would have to refill the water container and concentrate to complete the floor cleaning. Not so! I first went over the hard floors to dry clean it before scrubbing it. I then went back over it wet cleaning it. I still had lots of water and concentrate left after a full dry and half wet floor cleaning before I ran out of power. While I was at first skeptical, I am now impressed! The Shark HydroDuo floor cleaner does a great job and its Dirt-Reveal Technology (bright light affixed to the front of the floor cleaner) shows up all the dirt, dust, hair and other detritus our prior cleaning last week left behind. This front light is quite incredible and allows you to see the dirt you may have missed. I am now sold on the Shark HydroDuo With Dirt Reveal Technology that I highly recommend it to you! This floor cleaner is a star!

I’m not a huge fan of using my mop to clean my ceramic tile floors. You need a bucket of water, you have to frequently wring out the mop, not very convenient. So I was excited to try out the Shark HydroDuo. The HydroDuo is lightweight, easy to assemble, easy to use, and easy to maneuver. It has a pivoting head that makes it easy to get around obstacles, like toilets or furniture. The HydroDuo is surprisingly quiet. It’s quieter than a typical cordless vacuum cleaner, I would say it is maybe a bit louder than an electric toothbrush. The water/cleaning solution reservoir is easy to fill and the volume is ok (a bit less than 16 ounces total). This was enough to clean about 3 quarters of my ceramic tiled kitchen floor (about 154 square feet) before refilling, although I may have been able to do it all with one fill had I been more conservative with my spraying. It’s difficult to know how much water you need to spray to get the roller sufficiently saturated, so your mileage may vary. The HydroDuo actually cleaned the floor quite well and it also dried quickly. I was also impressed with the battery life for the HydroDuo. I was able to clean my kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a hallway all without exhausting the battery. My major complaint with the HydroDuo is the small size of the dirty water reservoir. At around 4 ounces, the dirty water reservoir is significantly smaller than the water/cleaning solution reservoir (about 16 ounces). This means having to stop and empty the dirty water reservoir every few minutes. If you are cleaning far from a sink, you may want to keep a bucket nearby. This is a major problem with the Hydro Duo, I’m not sure why they didn’t design it with a dirty water reservoir closer in size to the clean water reservoir. It means that the HydroDuo might be better suited to smaller spot cleaning jobs rather than cleaning big floors all at once. The floor cleaning solution is also proprietary from Shark. The manual says to only use their solution, I don’t know whether there are any 3rd party alternatives. This is obviously not an issue with an ordinary mop, since you can use a wide selection of soaps and cleaning solutions. Overall, the Shark HydroDuo cleans my floors quite well and is easy to use, but it would be much more convenient to use if it had a bigger dirty water reservoir.

The Shark HydroDuo is a small but mighty vacuum and power mop. It measures nine inches across and allows us to clean small areas like around the toilet. We live in a four-season area of the country, so our mud room sees mud, snow, salt, etc., and it has been challenging to keep clean. The Shark HydoDuo has solved this problem. The device has a nice stand that charges and holds all the accessories. The stand is small and easily tucked into the corner. Using HydroDuo is easy. First, we go over the area dry to pick up the loose dirt and other debris. The HydroDuo has a blue headlight that makes the dirt pop out, and this is great to know when you have the dirt up. Next comes the power mopping. Press the sprayer button, and it sprays a nice fan of cleaning fluid in front of the HydoDuo. The device mops and picks up the dirty fluid leaving a clean surface. Our mud room is slate, and the rest of the home has hardwood flooring. The HydroDuo works very well on all these surfaces. Cleanup is also straightforward. Open the base, remove the collection tray and mop roller, and rinse it in the sink. The base has a peg to put the mop roller to dry. We find the Shark HyroDuo an excellent product to help keep our hard floor surfaces clean.

Let me tell you about the Shark HydroDuo cordless wet-dry hard floor cleaner. I first noticed that it was incredibly lightweight and easy to assemble; no tools required my type of assembly. I had to let it charge for several hours out of the box. It was DOA. It cleans sealed hard surfaces, tile, marble, and hardwood floors. And the light on the front makes it easier to clean those messes. It comes with a bottle of cleaning solution to get you started. It has a fill line on the unit's feel reservoir and a line for a solution. Once I got it going, I noticed it was an excellent everyday cleaning tool. But, it is not for a more high-traffic area. This one needs more power for that kind of job. So, if you're looking for a lightweight unit that will help you not remove the mop bucket and sweep up a light mess, this is the one for you. Small spills are no problem. It doesn't have a clear debris tray, so you know when it's full, but I do recommend cleaning it after every use. 

The Shark HydroDuo delivers the goods on those cleaning jobs that I have had some troubles with before this amazing machine. It is easy to use and clean. Its design is the key to how well it cleans plus how easy it is to clean-up after you are done attacking the debris. My house is a new build and it is 80% porcelain tile and 20% carpet. The tile flooring had been my problem with water spots around sinks (I have 3 bathrooms plus the kitchen). The other bad area was coming in through the 8 foot sliding door from the backyard. One way or another little drops of water find their way to the floor and then dry up leaving those small outline spots. Also there was a kind of soft fuzz in the corners of every room that actually I didn’t quite see before this HydroDuo. The area in front of the refrigerator always seems to catch some spots of soda or mustard or ketchup and these get cleaned up too. The claim that the on-board light makes it easier to see the areas to clean is absolutely true. Also try this: Turn the lights off in the bathroom for example and run the HydroDuo, the light will make the debris easier to see than with the room light on – wow. I found out very quickly how to hit the button to spray the solution in an optimal way. I ended up using 1/3 of the tank to do my cleaning of the entire tile floor. I did fully charge the unit and I ended up with 2/3 charge left when I finished. The floors were sparkling and when I cleaned up the device I could see why it worked so well. There is a dust bin as well as a roller. The roller is the key. It is made of some microfiber material but also has many soft and tiny bristles integrated into the roller microfiber material. These bristles added the cleaning oomph needed that I have not seen in any other product. They are described as ‘gentle scrubbing bristles’. They did not harm my tile floor in any way. This device is better for wet or dry cleaning of solid surface floors, not carpet. The solution that came with the unit is a cleaner and also it provides a nice smell so that when done, my whole house had a fresh scent. I utilized the instruction guide on my first cleaning job. The guide will show you how to up the machine, charge it till the three lights are on, use the machine and ultimately to clean it up. Nicely written guide. The designers deserve a tip of the cap not just for a well designed machine, but also for making cleanup so simple. Following the guide, I had the machine looking like new in about 3 minutes. Note the parts are not dishwasher safe, so be careful on that point; you also are advised not to put the roller into a washing machine. The material on the roller only needed a good rinse in the sink to give up the accumulated debris. You also are provided a tool that helps squeeze water off the roller to help it to dry faster. I would give this HydraDuo ten stars if I could. It does come with a charging base-dock with brushroll and cleaning tool holders. It has a 3-year parts and labor warranty - great. I highly recommend it for your go-to cleaner for solid surface floors.

As someone with a dog and all tile floors downstairs, having a good option for keeping those floors clean is hugely important. My dog sheds everywhere, brings in lots of fun debris, and doesn’t seem to notice how wet and dirty her paws can get. It’s very inconsiderate, but I love her so I have to find good ways to deal with it. My go to is using a robot vacuum throughout the week. But as I think we all know even top of the line robot vacuums tend to miss things. In my case, that’s especially things like little clumps of fur in the corners that the robot just can’t reach. This is even more of a problem with my robot mop. It gets the major stuff, but never gets everything, not even close. Enter the shark HydroDuo. It does what it advertises and then some. I’ve always been a fan of the shark brand and they just continue to make me happy. I have a shark vacuum upstairs that I keep there for my carpets. The HydroDuo is my new best friend for cleaning those tile floors I mentioned. It has the suction power I’ve come to expect from a Shark vacuum. The dirt reveal technology is both amazing and terrifying. If you thought your house was clean, try running this through it and think again. It shows dust and little bits of hair that really couldn’t be seen without it. Places I thought had been cleaned, particularly where my vacuum was supposed to go, weren’t so clean after all. The biggest standout feature and my favorite part of using the HydroDuo has been its scrubbing ability on the hard floors. Usually, when you mop, you have to put some real good muscle into it to get some of those more stubborn spots. Shark takes away the difficult scrubbing and does it for you. As someone who hates mopping and has carpal tunnel, this is an absolute game changer. I cannot overstate how happy I am to have this item in my home.

At first I wondered why this exists, then I got it in hand and that thought got louder. Started to wonder if I have gotten that lazy that a mop and bucket needed such a upgrade. I had one spot in a high traffic area between my kitchen and dinning rom that mops would get clean but not Mom clean. I used all sorts of things but nothing worked. I wish I had taken a before and after picture. Personally I didn't this would work that good. Was I wrong, that bad boy cleaned the spot and had it looking like new wood. Now don't get me wrong. There is a catch to this machine working properly. Instinctively you are going to want to just push and pull it across the floor like a mop of broom and dust pan. Don't do it at that pace. Go slow like you are using a carpet cleaner. Make sure you got most of the big debris off the floor and run this over the area yo want to clean without the cleaning fluid. Then spray a bit in the location you are cleaning. The key to some tough spots is going to be letting it sit on the spot and let the roller do its thing. Spray the cleaning solution on the spot and let it sit for a minute then hit it with the roller. It's a patience game. If you rush it you will think this thing doesn't work. Be patient and it will serve you well. One thing I think could have been different is the color of the light on the unit. It's blue. No clue why they choose blue. Makes no sense unless they were faking a UV light scenario.

The new Shark HydroDuo has made keeping our tile and hardwood flooring a breeze! The evolution of cleaning our floors over time has been very interesting. Originally we had to sweep manually, then mop manually after that. After that we were able to use sweepers and mopping devices, separately. But now with the Shark HydroDuo we can sweep and mop at the same time! I have to admit I was quite skeptical of how effective it would be to do both at the same time, however after the first few runs I was sold! It is such a time saver to be able to just mop and sweep all in one run, and be done! We also have the option to just sweep if we want, which has been nice to quickly clean up some messes. It is so nice to have one device to replace 2, and it also saves us room in our small utility closet which was a bonus that I didn't even think about. Overall I would pick this as my go to floor cleaner every time, and I am very happy to have this added to our collection of Shark cleaning products! If you want to simplify your cleaning routine, I highly recommend it.
