At 3.7kg, it’s obviously heavier than a traditional mop but it’s lighter than some hard floor cleaner rivals including the Vax ONEPOWER Glide 2 at 5.4kg, and most of the weight sits in the floor head. In use, it feels balanced and steady and glides smoothly across wood, vinyl and tiles, helped by the motorised turbo brush doing much of the hard work underneath.
The swivel head is decent but not flawless. You don’t get a full, flexible turn like you might with a high-end cordless vacuum. It manages open spaces well but feels more restricted when weaving around chair legs or trying to angle into awkward spots.
Beldray All-in-One Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner: What’s it like to use day to day?
On muddy footprints and general grime, it performs really well. The motorised brush agitates the dirt, and the machine then sucks up the dirty water so floors are left only slightly damp. In our kitchen and hallway, they were dry within seconds, which makes life much easier when people are constantly moving through.
It coped well with sticky spills like milk and cordial, although thicker or dried-on mess needed a slower pass or two to fully lift. In high-traffic areas where grime had built up over time, it improved things but I occasionally ended up using a scrubber to fully shift the last traces. For that level of deep cleaning, you’d need a more powerful and more expensive machine (or more elbow grease and a traditional mop).
