Best Hardwood Floor Cleaning Machine

1. OUR TOP PICK: Tineco Floor One S3 Cordless Hardwood Floors Cleaner

If you’re looking for the best hardwood floor cleaning technology that money can buy, then this is the one for you.

This beauty uses iLoop smart sensor technology, which is specially designed to detect what kind of mess is on the hardwood floor, so that it can intelligently adjust the suction power and water flow accordingly. And it will vacuum and wash in one smart step.

It’s great for hardwood floors because it enables you to wash away messes and spills with no streaks, brush marks, residue, or gouges. And it dries instantly, so you don’t have to worry about slipping on a wet surface. And it can even clean dried-on messes.

We also love that it’s cordless, and doesn’t need to be kept plugged in, giving you much better maneuverability, and no trip hazard.

On the flip side however, this means that it runs off a battery and as such, has a limited run time. This model has quite a generous run time however, coming in at 35 minutes.

It has a handy LED display to let you know if a spill has been thoroughly cleaned, how much battery life is left, and to alert you to any maintenance issues that need to be addressed such as a lack of clean water.

It also comes with its own smartphone app, which is nice enough but hardly essential.

It’s self-propelled, so it only requires guiding rather than pushing, which means less effort for you. And it has a self-cleaning system, to flush out hair, dirt, and debris, which also means less work for you.

It’s also lightweight, which makes it easy to take up and down stairs.

The other great thing about this machine is that it features two-tank technology. That way , the clean water stays completely separate from the dirty water and debris.

Pros

• It uses iLoop smart sensor technology
• It leaves no marks and dries instantly
• It’s cordless with up to 35 min run time
• It has a handy self-cleaning system
• LED display with maintenance alerts

Cons

• Premium product at a premium price
• It takes 4 to 5 hours to recharge
• You have to use it with Tineco brand solution, sold separately

3. BEST VALUE: Bissell Spinwave Powered Hardwood Floor Mop and Cleaner

Now, if you already have a good vacuum cleaner, and you are simply looking for a good powered mop for your hardwood floor, this could be the one for you. It doesn’t have quite as many features as the Bissell Crosswave that we showed you earlier, but it’s much more affordably priced.

On the bottom of the machine you attach circular power pads which will rotate gently on your hardwood floor to give it a good clean, without leaving any brush marks.

It has a large water tank capacity, coming in at 28 ounces, so you can get quite a lot done before you have to refill the tank.

It has quite a long cord, coming in at 22 feet long, so that really gives it some stretch, and you’re not limited to only cleaning around the plug socket. It’s also very easy to maneuver around, thanks to the swivel steering. And it has a wide cleaning path, coming in at 14 inches, so you can get a fairly large area cleaned with every swipe.

But the star feature of this machine is how you can control how much cleaning solution goes onto your floors, thanks to the one-touch on-demand spray, which sprays out just a little at a time.

It weighs just 11 pounds, so you can easily carry it up and down stairs if you need to.

In addition to use on hardwood floors, you can also use it on other flooring, including the likes of tiles, laminate flooring, linoleum and vinyl.

It comes complete with some mop pads and some cleaning formula included, so you can use it as soon as the box arrives. These pads include soft touch ones for gentle cleaning, and slightly more abrasive pads for tough dried-on stickier messes. These pads can then be washed and used again.

Pros

• Reasonable, affordable price tag
• The power pads won’t leave marks
• Large water tank capacity, at 28 ounces
• Administer cleaning solution on demand
• Wide cleaning path, at 14 inches

Cons

• It’s not cordless
• The hardwood has to be sealed
• There’s no carry handle
• It doesn’t vacuum

4. RUNNER UP: Oreck Commercial Orbiter Hard Floor Cleaner Machine

Now, this beauty has earned the title of Amazon’s Choice in the category of “hardwood floor cleaner machine”. Such a title is only given to products that are both of excellent quality and are also available at a good and reasonable price.

This commercial grade cleaner comes from a brand with over 50 years of experience in the industry, but this model is affordable enough for regular customers.

What makes it so good for cleaning hardwood floors is that, thanks to its random orbit pattern of movement, it will simply glide over the floor and will not leave any brush marks or gouges. And it’s very easy to use, with fingertip controls.

And that’s not all. With the right accessories, it can also be used to buff and polish your hardwood floor, too. Without the need for buying a separate machine. Pretty neat, huh? And all you have to do to switch over function is replace the accessory on the bottom of the device.

You can also use it on other hard floors such as ceramic tile, grout, concrete, slate, stone floors, and vinyl. And it can also be used to deep clean carpets, too. So versatile.

And, we were reassured to learn, it’s made right here in the USA.

Pros

• Commercial grade unit at a regular consumer price
• Features a 50-foot-long cord for easy maneuvering
• It won’t leave any brush marks as it cleans and scrubs
• It can also be used to clean other surfaces, e.g. carpets

Cons

• It doesn’t vacuum
• The scrub brushes and other accessories are all sold separately

5. RUNNER UP: Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop

Talk about flying off the shelves!

On Amazon there have been well over 35,000 individual customer ratings for this product – and that’s just including the ones who bothered to leave a rating. Better yet, the average customer rating still comes in at a whopping 4 and a half stars out of 5.

At first, we thought its popularity must be down to the bargain, affordable price tag. (It’s the only cleaner in our shortlist that comes to under $100.) But then we looked into it and saw that it’s an excellent little steam mop.

You can use it to clean and sanitize hardwood floors without the need for any harsh chemicals. The natural power of the steam can eliminate a whopping 99.9% of germs and harmful bacteria.

But that’s not all, it also features a flip-down easy scrubber which can reach into crevices and power though tough to remove messes.

You can adjust the steam level digitally, choosing either low, medium or high, according to how dirty the floor has managed to get.

Better yet, you can also buy spring breeze fragrance discs that you can insert within, so you distribute a nice fresh scent around as you steam clean the floor.

It comes with a 23-foot-long cord and is very easy to maneuver around thanks to its swivel steering. It’s very lightweight at just 6 pounds, and features a 16 ounce capacity water tank, so you won’t have to keep refilling it. And the mop is slimline enough at the button to slide under furniture

In addition to use on your hardwood floor, you can also use it on linoleum and tiles.

Pros

• Bargain, affordable price tag
• Has a flip-down easy scrubber
• Can distribute fresh fragrances
• Very easy to maneuver around
• Has adjustable levels of steam

Cons

• It’s corded rather than cordless
• It doesn’t vacuum, only steam cleans
• The hardwood floor needs to be sealed
