Bissell 5200 Flip-It Bare Floor Cleaner

The opinions about this machine vary widely. But I think some people just like gadgets of any kind. This machine will vacuum, wash and dry a hard floor, kind of. The floor can’t have too much dirt on it because the vacuum is a low suction and the machine blows back out clean air on to the surface your trying to vacuum. So there is a lot of blowing around and chasing dirt. For little stuff, it works fine. But for getting under the counter you still have to get something else.

The washing part of the machine does pretty much what it says. It will wash a floor that is in need of a routine washing. But if you have a sticky mess or a set stain, you will have to “scrub� with the machine. And anything too tough will have to be scrubbed with a harder bristle brush by hand. If you put too much water on the floor, it is easy to start pushing around dirty water. The drying part of this machine will suck up standing water and somewhat dry your floor, but you’re going to have to stay off the floor and let it dry some either way.

I think the cost of this machine is way too high. I also think it is just as easy to use a mop as any of the machines in this price range. It might be just as cost worthy and time efficient, as well as sanitary to use one of those wet cloth mop sticks and then give your floor a good scrubbing every so often.
