Hard Floor Cleaner FC 5
Doesn't just clean, it…

I have 2 kids and prefer for them to play on the floors rather than a rug or mat because even a "clean" looking rug or mat can have an innumerable number of dust particles and bacteria hidden in those strands. I have a robovac running in my apartment through out the day and mop the floor at least twice a day. I used to think my floors were clean, until I used this floor cleaner. The FC5 was able to extract so much dirt from my floors right after I had mopped them it disgusted me. The floors were ready to use soon after I had used the FC5 which meant my kids more play time. Happy kids and happy dad!! Since I am a very curious person, I was wondering if this would work on my balcony floor. When I was given the apartment, it was on an urgent basis and had the balcony had not been cleaned at all. It was ok in the winter but as the weather is getting better, my kids want to play outside, and no amount of mopping was giving me the satisfaction of a clean floor. Seeing this perform so well on my living room floor, I decided to risk the brushrolls by running it on the rough concrete balcony floor. Lo and behold, after just one pass, the difference was so stark, I decided to take a picture. The picture you see attached is after one pass. After a second pass, the balcony floor was absolutely shining.
The motor is surely finicky though since any debris larger than a dust particle tends to get the motor stuck and you have to clean the brush-roll and the yellow guide.
Additionally, getting the guide and brushrolls off need to be done by lifting this machine which is on the heavier side. If some mechanism could have been built into the stand so these could be removed while the machine was docked, it would be a dream.
The machine does tend to lurch forward so keeping it in check takes a bit of an effort.
However for the amount of elbow grease it saves me, that effort is negligible. It doesn't use a lot of water either so that's a plus.
At the end of the day, the floors are a delight to step on bare foot and I have no concerns letting my kids play on the cleanest floors I have experienced.
What do I say, it stands out of the crowd of floor cleaners, as seen in my second picture.
