Our full review

The Shark HydroVac Cordless Pro reimagines everyday floor cleaning by combining vacuuming and mopping into a single cordless device built for hard floors. It works by simultaneously vacuuming up debris while a dual-tank system dispenses clean water and solution through a microfiber roller, then immediately suctions up the dirty water, leaving floors clean and nearly dry in one pass. This eliminates the need to vacuum first and mop second, saving time on daily upkeep of kitchens, bathrooms, and other hard surface areas prone to spills, crumbs, and sticky residue. Designed with a cordless, battery-powered body, the HydroVac Cordless Pro gives users the freedom to move room to room without being tethered to an outlet, while still delivering strong suction power for both liquid messes and dry debris like cereal, pet hair, and dust. The separate clean and dirty water tanks prevent cross-contamination, so users are always mopping with fresh solution rather than recirculating grime. Its self-cleaning function flushes the roller after use, cutting down on the unpleasant task of hand-washing mop heads and helping the machine stay odor-free between cleaning sessions. Ergonomically, the vacuum features a lightweight, maneuverable design with a low-profile nozzle that can glide under furniture and toe-kick spaces, along with LED headlights that illuminate hidden dirt and hard-to-see spots. The digital display and simple controls make it easy to switch between cleaning modes depending on the mess, whether it's a wine spill, muddy footprints, or standard daily dust. As a cordless wet/dry hybrid, the Shark HydroVac Cordless Pro is aimed at anyone who wants to replace multiple cleaning tools with one efficient device that handles both liquid and solid messes on hard flooring throughout the home.

Game changer for pet messes — Melissa T. (2024-02-14)
I have two dogs and this vacuum handles muddy paw prints and dry fur in one swipe. No more switching between mop and vacuum.
Great but tank is small — David R. (2024-01-30)
Performance is excellent on both wet and dry messes, but I wish the dirty water tank held more before needing to empty it.
Worth every penny — Angela K. (2023-12-19)
This replaced my mop and vacuum combo entirely. The LED lights actually help you see dust you'd otherwise miss.
Solid cordless performance — Brian S. (2024-03-02)
Battery lasts long enough for my whole apartment on normal mode. Boost mode drains it fast but works great for tough spots.
