I have seen these advertised and they look as though they would do a simple job in half the time, does anybody have any experience?

I specifically want one for cleaning floor tiles- I am beyond going on my hands and knees having had both knees replaced.

I do not mean the scrubbers on Argy Bargy- they would probably be cheap but I doubt if they would do the job well.

Oh dear, but please let us know how it performs when you have it under control.

I would be interested to know what liquid cleaner you used. Did you squirt something on to the floor before you used it and are you happy with the end result?

Well, I can't say I've exactly been rigorous in my testing, but the results are very good so far!

I've done my bathroom floor, which is the cause of many arguments here.
Grainy, cream flooring and "people" (who shall remain nameless) who are less than careful do not go together well!

It actually stirred up a dark residue off the floor, and left swiftly patterns of it on the floor, which I then had to use a mop to get up.

I just used some cheap old poundland cleaner. Stardrops.

It went to the edges, and once you've got the hang of it, it actually swirls around on it's own path, making bigger and bigger circles!

It comes with 4 or 5 different heads, depending on what you're cleaning, a clip for the wall to stand it in when its charging.

I bought a cordless brush with several heads, but I found it didn't have much strength. Admittedly it was a cheap one, something like JML. I have since bought one of these, which I use all around the house for various surfaces. For the floors I use a non-rinse supermarket own brand liquid squirted on, and go over with a dry cloth over the brush to speed drying. The results are just what I wanted, with little effort.
