I think its a neat idea - but if it sucked up dirt at the same time rather than having to use your vacuum afterwards, it would be cost effective. If it is expensive to buy, then it's not one I would probably consider unless my whole home had hard floors.
But then if I had all hard floors, I'd be investing in SEBO's DUO disco polisher - it has suction and the wheel polisher pads vibrate as well as turn. Also it looks like Shark have just looked at floor polishers in terms of design and combined it with a spray function where most buyers will probably end up buying cheaper alternative liquids. It isn't that far away from the old beater bar design that Hoover and other brands have offered in the past. I can't stand the statement "stuck on dirt" though - I'd end up using my Sebo DUO P powder. |

Yes, agreed - especially in light of the fact that the woman in that video goes to pains of saying "we all know cleaning hard floors is difficult," with Mark Rosenberg standing nearby from a company who make hard floor cleaners!
Seriously though, it begs the question that if the Shark Sonic is that easy to move on carpets, surely the resistance alone of the pads would be tough to move on carpets in general? If the sonic vibrations are fast enough though, there should be no problem in moving it along - but to suggest that it removes "stuck on dirt" or top soil dirt in tandem is rather questionable. As you say, once the dirt becomes loose and airborne it isn't going to stay at ground level once it is loose.
I'd rather just stick to my normal vacuums for removing dirt in the home on carpets. |

The duo works exactly like the bonnet encapsulation method for floor machines. I use it all the time to pre-scub my carpets before I rinse with my Steamvac. At best it can loosen stains, but you can easily damage carpet fibers if you're not careful. I'd like to know what type of chemicals the duo uses. If it leaves any residue, the whole cleaning would be counter-productive. |

There is a button on the handle that you press to spray. |
