Which floors each wet/dry floor cleaner is for
Last checked 2026-10-03.
By their makers' own manuals, support and product pages, 3 of these 4 cordless wet/dry cleaners are listed for sealed wood, tile and vinyl; area rugs are listed only for the Shark HydroVac Reveal WD321 and Shark HydroVac MessMaster WD261, the Tinecos rule carpeted surfaces out, and no maker here addresses unsealed wood. Where a maker is silent the table says unknown: do not read that as a fit.

We tested nothing. Nothing here is a cleaning-performance, noise or durability result, and a maker listing a floor type is not a guarantee for every finish. Test a hidden area first and follow each manual.
