How powerful is it?
Its polymer cleaning roller head is gentle on floors and, thanks to its wet mop feature, effortlessly picked up a lot of fine dust, trapping them in the waste water container which left our floors feeling squeaky clean even on the lower strength setting. It manages to accumulate a satisfying amount of larger dirt particles, hair and pet fur in the waste tray with just one or two passes, although it was less effective on dried stains.
How versatile is it?
While it is only suitable for cleaning hard floor, its versatility stems from four integrated cleaning functions — sweeping, mopping, drying and self cleaning. This means its one cleaning head cleans up both dry and wet messes such as spilled cereal and chunky soup at once, while simultaneously drying the floor and cleaning itself internally as you go. The roller head sweeps up solids and absorbs liquids, cleverly separating them into a dry waste tray and waste water tank.
Is it easy to use?
It’s easy to operate with an elegant display interface. Although it’s quite heavy, the handle is very ergonomic so it’s not tiring to hold and manoeuvre around while cleaning, and it has wheels that make it easy to roll around. The handle locks when put in an upright position, so the machine can stand by itself. It automatically stops and beeps to alert you when it’s time to clear the waste tank or replenish the clean water tank (LED light turns red as well).
Overall While it’s more a floor mop than vacuum cleaner, the elegant Hizero is a nifty all-in-one device that makes cleaning complex messes more effortless, so it’s great for homes with young children or pets.
