Top 10 Best Shark Vacuums for Laminate Floors 2026 – Expert Tested

1. Shark HydroVac MessMaster WD161

The Shark HydroVac MessMaster is a game-changer for laminate floor owners who hate the two-step dance of vacuuming then mopping. This corded powerhouse combines powerful suction for dry debris with a hydro-mopping system that tackles stuck-on grime and sticky spills. Its continuous self-cleaning mechanism is the star—it rinses the roller and internal pathways as you work, preventing you from just pushing dirty water around. For a truly deep, streak-free clean on sealed laminate, this is a top-tier solution.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ 3-in-1 Function: Vacuums dry debris, mops wet messes, and self-cleans continuously.
✓ Powerful Suction & HydroMopping: Pulls in dirt and wet stains without leaving residue.
✓ Self-Cleaning System: Automatically flushes the roller and tank to prevent dirt redeposit.
✓ Corded Power: Unlimited runtime for large area deep cleans without battery anxiety.

Why We Recommend It

It eliminates the dreaded “dirty mop water” problem. The self-cleaning feature means you’re not spreading grime, and the combined vacuum/mop action saves significant time. For homes with all hard floors, especially in kitchens and dining areas, it delivers a level of cleanliness that’s hard to match with separate tools.

Best For

Homeowners with primarily sealed laminate, bamboo, or tile floors who want a thorough, one-pass clean for both everyday spills and weekly deep cleans. It’s ideal for kitchens, mudrooms, and living areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Unmatched clean: vacuums and mops simultaneously for a truly deep clean.
Self-cleaning system effectively prevents dirty water from being redeposited.
Corded design provides consistent, unlimited power for large spaces.
Excellent at picking up pet hair and fine dust from hard surfaces.

Cons:

Cord limits range and requires an outlet in each room.
Heavier and bulkier than a standard stick vacuum.
Requires use of Shark’s cleaning solution (or a very mild alternative) to prevent damage.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: My house has ALL wood, bamboo and tile floors. I’ve said over the years that I wanted a maid to come in and just do the floors. A pregnancy injury left me in pain most of the time and floors are really hard for me. I started with a robot vacuume that I love love love. Next I wanted an electric mop. After reading all the reviews, the corded plug in Shark Hydrovac is what I bought… My floors have never been cleaner… It is super easy to clean. The clean tank chines right out with the push of a button. The dirty tank is the same way… Along with the robot vacuume, this mop is the best investment I’ve made in householt cleaning tools,ever.

Customer Review: This is the corded version. Not sure why people are reviewing the cordless version on this page.It shuts off when the tank needs to be emptied. Empty the tank and it magically works again… It takes less than half the time of sweeping/vacuuming and mopping. I have engineered laminate flooring, and the water dries much quicker than it did when I used a mop.I highly recommend this but I also recommend you read the instructions that come with it… This is also very lightweight and self propelling so you don’t have to be Hercules to use it.Great quality for the price.

2. Shark HydroDuo WW201

The Shark HydroDuo brings cordless freedom to the wet/dry hard floor cleaning category. It’s designed to tackle both dry debris like crumbs and pet hair, and wet spills, all in one pass. The key is its dual-tank system and on-demand spray, giving you control over how much solution you use—a big plus for laminate floors that shouldn’t stay wet. While some users report issues with suction on heavier messes, its lightweight, maneuverable design is perfect for quick daily cleanups on sealed surfaces.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Wet/Dry Capability: Handles both dry debris and liquid spills without switching tools.
✓ On-Demand Spray: Control the amount of cleaning solution released.
✓ Dual Tank System: Separates clean solution from dirty water.
✓ Fully Cordless: Untethered mobility for easy room-to-room cleaning.

Why We Recommend It

It offers a rare cordless all-in-one solution for hard floors. The ability to quickly spray and scrub a sticky spill or just vacuum up tracked-in dirt without swapping appliances is incredibly convenient for daily maintenance on laminate.

Best For

Busy households with sealed laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) that deal with frequent spills and tracked-in dirt. Best for quick, everyday cleanups rather than heavy, deep-cleaning sessions.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver, even under furniture.
On-demand spray prevents over-wetting floors.
Cordless design offers great freedom of movement.
Effective at picking up dry debris like pet hair and crumbs.

Cons:

Suction power is weaker than dedicated vacuums, especially on wet messes.
Can leave floors slightly wetter than a dedicated mop.
Small solution and dirty water tanks require frequent refilling/emptying for larger areas.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: I was going to throw this out but I realized I didn’t have the junk water reservoir snapped in all the way . Works great !

Customer Review: If I could give zero stars I would. This is terrible. No suction. Leaves the floor very wet. Does not pick up pet hair well. I have always used shark products and have never been dissatisfied, always highly satisfied and pleased with the products! This is a terrible product.

3. Eureka ReactiClean 410 Cordless Vacuum

For those seeking powerful suction on a budget, the Eureka ReactiClean 410 is a standout. It’s not a Shark, but its performance on hard floors rivals more expensive models. With a strong 20.3 kPa motor and a 50-minute runtime, it tackles dust, crumbs, and pet hair on laminate with ease. Its lightweight, convertible design (it becomes a handheld) is perfect for quick cleanups and reaching under furniture, making it a superb value-oriented choice for laminate floor maintenance.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Powerful 20.3 kPa Suction: Effectively lifts debris from hard floors and low-pile carpet.
✓ 50-Minute Runtime: Covers up to 1,345 sq. ft. on a single charge in Mid Mode.
✓ Ultra Lightweight & Convertible: At 5.5 lbs, converts to a handheld for stairs and cars.
✓ Excellent Value: Premium features at a competitive price point.

Why We Recommend It

It delivers cleaning power that defies its price tag. For laminate floors, you want strong suction without a heavy, expensive machine. This Eureka model provides that, with enough battery life to clean a typical home without interruption.

Best For

Budget-conscious buyers, apartment dwellers, or anyone needing a lightweight, versatile cordless vacuum primarily for hard floors and low-pile rugs. Great as a primary vacuum for small homes or a secondary quick-clean tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Incredible suction power for the price, especially on hard surfaces.
Long 50-minute battery life in standard mode.
Extremely lightweight and easy to carry/store.
Converts easily to a handheld for above-floor cleaning.

Cons:

Build quality feels less premium than Shark models.
Dustbin capacity is smaller than some larger stick vacuums.
May struggle with deep-pile carpet cleaning (not its primary purpose).

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: This vacuum works better than I expected. It is very lightweight and easy to use even with one hand. The suction power is strong enough for everyday cleaning, including hardwood floors, carpets, and pet hair. Battery life is good and lasts long enough to clean my home in one session. Assembly is simple and emptying the dustbin is quick and convenient. For the price, this vacuum offers great value and is perfect for daily household cleaning.

Customer Review: This vacuum is an absolute game-changer for anyone who values efficiency. The first thing you’ll notice is that it is super lightweight, weighing in at just 3.7 lbs for the handheld unit… Despite its feather-light build, the suction power is impressively strong. I belvies its powered by a 200w motor, meaning it easily pulls up stubborn debris and fine dust that other cordless models might leave behind.

4. Shark VACMOP Reveal VM401

The Shark VACMOP Reveal is a focused cordless vacuum mop designed specifically for hard floors. Its defining feature is the powerful suction that locks debris into a disposable pad, which also has a spray mop function. The brilliant Dirt-Reveal LED light is more than a gimmick—it genuinely illuminates hidden dust and hair, ensuring you don’t miss spots on your laminate. It’s a simpler, more focused tool than the HydroVac, trading deep scrubbing for convenience and excellent debris pickup.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Dirt-Reveal Technology: Powerful LED headlight illuminates hidden debris.
✓ Locks Away Debris: Disposable pad with built-in dirt chamber traps dirt instead of pushing it.
✓ Spray Mop Function: Light misting for cleaning without oversaturating.
✓ Lightweight & Cordless: Easy to carry and store, with no cord to manage.

Why We Recommend It

It excels at the “see it, grab it” philosophy for hard floors. The combination of strong suction for dry debris, a revealing light, and a gentle spray mop makes it incredibly effective for maintaining spotless laminate between deeper cleans. The disposable pad system is hygienic and eliminates the need to wash dirty pads.

Best For

Anyone with laminate, LVP, or sealed hardwood who wants a quick, light, and effective daily clean. Perfect for smaller homes, apartments, or as a secondary tool for high-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Dirt-Reveal light is genuinely useful and shows dust you’d normally miss.
Disposable pad system is convenient, hygienic, and traps debris well.
Very lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Spray function is gentle enough for sealed laminate.

Cons:

Ongoing cost of disposable pads and cleaning solution.
Not designed for deep scrubbing of stuck-on messes.
Small solution tank may need refilling for larger rooms.
Battery life is adequate but not class-leading.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: Love SHARK products! A week before I bought this one, I bought another Shark Mop/Vac, the VM252, as I was putting my old one in my shed for easier clean up there, and wanted a new one for the house. It came and I loved it! The light is super bright, to make it easier to see stuff on the floor. Loved it so much, I ordered a 2nd one, or rather my husband ordered it. We didn’t realize it wasn’t the same model, but when it came (this one), I was totally happy! It has the brightest blue light…I “hate” it (lol…not really, but…) it shows up EVERY TINY SPECK OF DIRT, DUST, what-have-you, that you have always missed (???). So it’s going in my bathroom where it’s really needed! We have long hair, and cats. I’m glad I got this one, too! Both are excellent! I highly recommend them!

Customer Review: One of my favorite household purchases to date! We are a busy family with 4 kids and multiple dogs (who like to get muddy), and this thing keeps up! It is very durable! We have primarily LVP flooring throughout our home. I can use this without vacuuming before, and the pads still manage to collect all the dust and hair and dirt. It has great battery life and is lightweight and so easy to use. Does not take long to charge at all! I have used different mopping floor cleaners if I run out, but the Shark is best and leaves my house smelling great. It is great value for the money, and I have purchased this for gifts and always recommend to those looking for a great vac mop. 10/10!

5. Shark IX141 Pet Cordless Vacuum

The Shark IX141 is a classic, affordable cordless stick vacuum that excels at picking up dry debris on hard floors. Its HyperVelocity suction is surprisingly strong for its price, and the anti-hair wrap brushroll is a lifesaver for pet owners. The removable handheld unit is perfect for stairs and cars. While it doesn’t mop, it’s one of the best pure vacuums for laminate, efficiently capturing dust, crumbs, and pet hair without any risk of water damage.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ HyperVelocity Suction: Strong suction for everyday messes on hard floors and carpets.
✓ Anti-Hair Wrap Brushroll: Stops hair from wrapping and tangling, ideal for pet owners.
✓ LED Headlights: Illuminate hidden debris under furniture.
✓ Converts to Handheld: Detaches for cleaning stairs, cars, and upholstery.

Why We Recommend It

It’s a no-nonsense, effective vacuum that does one job very well: picking up dry debris. For laminate floors, you don’t need mopping functionality all the time. This Shark provides reliable, strong suction in a lightweight, cordless package at a very reasonable price. The anti-hair wrap feature is a major win for pet households.

Best For

Pet owners and families with primarily hard floors who need a lightweight, cordless vacuum for daily dry debris cleanup. An excellent choice if you already have a separate mop or prefer to damp-mop manually.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Strong suction for its class, great on hard floors and low-pile rugs.
Anti-hair wrap technology actually works, minimizing maintenance.
Very lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Good value for a Shark-branded cordless vacuum.

Cons:

Battery life (40 min) may not be enough for larger homes in one go.
No mopping function—this is a dry vacuum only.
Dustbin capacity is on the smaller side.
Build quality is functional but not as premium as higher-end Shark models.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: I’ve been using my Shark Cordless vacuum for a few months now. I still love it. I was waiting to make sure it kept working before reviewing. So far, so good… This one is easy. The rollers stop the nanosecond a problem is detected and nothing has gotten wrapped up in them… It’s easy to use, lightweight and empties very easily… My only complaint is actually that the charge barely lasts long enough… That said, it works so well, that I’m still very happy.The best part is that it’s small enough and light enough to make cleaning the stairs a lot less of a chore than with a full-sized regular vacuum.

Customer Review: As a disclaimer, our home is 1700ft2, and about 2/3 of it is carpeted.The vacuum works phenomenal on the regular carpeting and hardwood in the house… The variety of ways this vacuum can be assembled makes it extremely versatile… So the reason I made the title the way it is, is related to battery life. To realistically clean our first floor (mostly hardwood/tile + wool rug) and the second floor (totally carpeted) will eat up the entire battery… Overall, for the sale price we got it at (I want to say between $175-225, can’t remember exactly) it has been excellent.

6. Cordless 55KPA Stick Vacuum

This is a powerful third-party cordless stick that often flies under the radar. Its headline specs are impressive: 55KPA suction and a massive 65-minute runtime from a large 2L dust cup. For large laminate floors, this means less frequent emptying and the ability to clean the entire house on one charge. It’s a workhorse focused on pure suction power and capacity, making it a formidable alternative to more expensive brand names.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ 55KPA Powerful Suction: Upgraded 650W brushless motor for deep cleaning.
✓ 65-Minute Runtime: High-capacity battery cleans up to large homes without recharging.
✓ Extra-Large 2L Dust Cup: Clean more, empty less—ideal for pet owners and large spaces.
✓ Multiple Suction Modes: Adjust power for different floor types and messes.

Why We Recommend It

It solves two common cordless pain points: weak battery life and small dustbins. If you have a large home with all hard floors and pets, this vacuum’s combination of long runtime and huge capacity means you can actually finish the job without stopping to recharge or empty the bin.

Best For

Owners of large homes (1500+ sq ft) with primarily hard floors and pets. Also great for anyone tired of constantly emptying a small dustbin or having their vacuum die mid-clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Exceptional battery life—often lasts for a full house clean.
Massive dust cup means far fewer interruptions to empty.
Very strong suction, especially for the price.
Good value proposition with high-end specs.

Cons:

Brand recognition and customer support may not match Shark’s.
Can be heavier than some slimmer stick designs.
May not have the same polish or refinement in handling as premium brands.
Longer charge time to replenish the large battery.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: Good value for a great vacuumIt is so easy to use and picks up the dog hair (a Lab so you understand the daily struggle 😁) and sand like a dream. The battery lasted long enough to do my house and I really like the size of the bin on this vacuum. The design makes dumping the dust bin easy, and the adjustable wand is awesome.I had a issue and customer support came to the rescue. Honestly I’ve never experienced a proactive support team quite like it.

Customer Review: I’m pleased with the purchase of my P11 vacuum. It is easy to maneuver, lightweight and no cord to drag around.This vacuum has several different settings for the suction, which does well on all of them. I like the way the battery detaches from the vacuum itself. One thing that really stands out to me is the large dust collection bin, being that I have a Golden Retriever.I’ll have to say this vacuum has a lot of power and is easy to function.

7. Shark Steam & Scrub S8001

The Shark Steam & Scrub is a dedicated steam mop with scrubbing pads, not a vacuum. However, for a deep sanitizing clean on sealed laminate, it’s in a class of its own. The rotating scrubbing pads combined with steam power lift stuck-on grime that a regular mop can’t touch. It’s perfect for a monthly deep clean, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. The key is to use it on sealed laminate only and ensure the floor can handle the moisture and heat.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Scrubbing & Sanitizing: Rotating pads with steam remove tough stains and kill germs*.
✓ 3 Steam Modes: Light, Normal, and Deep for different mess levels.
✓ LED Headlights: See dirt and grime as you clean.
✓ XL Water Tank: Longer cleaning sessions without refilling.

Why We Recommend It

Sometimes your laminate floors need more than suction—they need a true sanitizing, scrubbing clean. This Shark steam mop is the best tool for that job. It’s incredibly effective at breaking down grease, sticky spills, and ground-in dirt without harsh chemicals, leaving floors sparkling and sanitized.

Best For

Homeowners with sealed laminate or tile who want to periodically deep-clean and sanitize their floors without chemicals. Ideal as a complement to a regular vacuum for monthly maintenance in high-traffic areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Exceptional at removing stuck-on grime and stains.
Sanitizes floors with steam (when used as directed).
Rotating scrubbing pads provide real elbow-grease power.
Large water tank covers a good area before refilling.

Cons:

Not a vacuum—must be used after sweeping/vacuuming dry debris.
Leaves floors wetter than a regular mop; requires drying time.
Corded and can be heavy to push.
Not suitable for unsealed or waxed wood floors.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: Works well. Does what it says. I saw a lot of reviews saying it left swirly dirt marks but I think it’s honestly just getting old dirt up that I never could before, so it’s worth it to use this a couple of times for a deep clean, and then just use for maintenance… It doesn’t really get corners or nooks/tight spaces very well, but I have baseboards I need to clean anyway so it’s not a big deal for me… Overall this is a great product for someone that has a small place and no room for a bucket to mop regularly.

Customer Review: I recently purchased the Shark Steam & Scrub Mop, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best cleaning tools I’ve added to my home… But where it really surprised me was on wood floors. I was initially hesitant to use steam on my hardwood floors, but figured I would just try it out. I went straight for the floors in front of our patio door – a high traffic area… This steam and scrub did it! I could not believe it…Overall, the Shark Steam & Scrub Mop is a fantastic investment for anyone serious about keeping their floors clean and looking great.

8. Shark Freestyle Max SV2002

The Shark Freestyle Max is a powerful cordless upright that bridges the gap between stick vacs and full-sized machines. It’s the most powerful cordless upright in Shark’s lineup, with a two-speed brushroll designed for both carpets and hard floors. Its folding design and large dust cup make it practical for whole-home cleaning. While it’s heavier than a stick, its powerful suction and dual-surface capability make it excellent for homes with a mix of laminate and carpet.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Most Powerful Cordless Upright: Dual brushroll speeds for deep carpet and gentle hard floor cleaning.
✓ Folding Design: Stores compactly and folds for under-bed storage.
✓ Large Dust Cup & Odor Neutralizer: Holds more debris and leaves a fresh scent.
✓ Clean Sense Mode: Automatically adjusts suction for the surface.

Why We Recommend It

For homes with a mix of laminate and carpet, this is the most versatile Shark cordless. The ability to switch brushroll speeds means you can gently clean your laminate without the aggressive agitation of a standard carpet brush, then power up for the rugs. Its power and capacity are impressive for a cordless.

Best For

Homes with both hard floors and low-to-medium pile carpets who want one powerful cordless vacuum to do it all. Also great for those who want the feel of an upright with cordless freedom.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extremely powerful suction, especially on carpet.
Dual brushroll speeds protect hard floors while cleaning carpets deeply.
Large dust cup and good battery life for its power class.
Folding design saves storage space.
Built-in odor neutralizer is a nice touch.

Cons:

Heavier and bulkier than a standard stick vacuum.
More expensive than most stick vacs.
The folding mechanism has raised some durability concerns in reviews.
Battery is not user-swappable.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: If you have floors, this is the best vacuum you can own.It might be pricey, however, it’s just great for picking up small crumbs and debris, pet hair on the floor. We have cat litter and birds, and this vacuum can pick up all. The vacuum is not too loud and moves around on the floor effortlessly. It’s lightweight and swivels perfectly to navigate corners… I used to use a hand held vacuum to get fine particles and now, I use this cordless vacuum from Shark… Also, it is something easy to put together.

Customer Review: This vac is pretty awesome. It is lighter than I expected. Some said that it was heavy at the top, which is because the battery is mounted there. Instead of trying to hold it up, I let it rest on my hand and move it around… It also will pick up when moving forward and reverse. Some cordless vacs only pick up when moving forward… Initially, I was concerned that the battery would not last throughout the house, but it does for the most part… I like the odor neutralizer, as it leaves behind a pleasant smell… So, overall I am pleased with this purchase.

9. Eureka NEC280WH Cordless Stick Vacuum

Another strong Eureka contender, the NEC280WH, is a lightweight, no-fuss cordless stick vacuum. Its standout feature is the anti-tangle brushroll, which is a huge plus for homes with long hair or pets. It offers automatic suction adjustment (Smart Sense) between hard floors and carpet, making it very user-friendly. At 5.3 lbs, it’s incredibly easy to carry, making it a fantastic choice for quick cleanups on laminate and for apartments.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ Anti-Tangle Brushroll: Prevents hair wrap, reducing maintenance.
✓ Smart Sense Auto Suction: Automatically adjusts power for hard floors or carpet.
✓ Ultra Lightweight (5.3 lbs): Effortless to carry up stairs and maneuver.
✓ 40-Minute Runtime: Sufficient for most small to medium homes.

Why We Recommend It

It’s the definition of “easy.” The automatic suction adjustment means you don’t have to think about settings. The anti-tangle brushroll means less time cleaning the vacuum itself. For laminate floor owners who want a simple, effective, and very light vacuum for daily debris, this Eureka model is a top pick.

Best For

Apartment dwellers, new parents, or seniors who prioritize a lightweight, low-maintenance vacuum. Also perfect for anyone tired of brushing hair out of their vacuum’s brushroll.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extremely lightweight and easy to handle.
Anti-tangle brushroll is highly effective for pet and human hair.
Automatic suction adjustment is convenient and works well.
Great value for the feature set.

Cons:

Suction power is good but not class-leading on thick debris.
Battery life is solid but not exceptional.
Plastic construction feels less premium than Shark models.
Dustbin capacity is modest.

Customer Reviews

Customer Review: I recently got this vacuum, and it’s amazing! It cleans my floors and carpets effortlessly, and the cordless, rechargeable design makes it so easy to use anywhere.What I love most is how handy it is for cleaning my car—it easily picks up crumbs, dust, and debris that always seem to accumulate. The suction is strong, and the lightweight design makes it very easy to maneuver.Overall, a high-quality, versatile vacuum that works great at home and in the car. Highly recommend!

Customer Review: I’ve been using the Eureka Cordless Vacuum with Smart Sense (NEC451BL) for about a week now and it has been working really well. It’s lightweight and easy to move around the house, which makes daily cleaning much easier.The auto suction feature is very convenient because it adjusts automatically between hardwood floors and carpet. The suction is strong enough to pick up dust, crumbs, and pet hair without any problem. I also like the anti-tangle brush, which helps prevent hair from getting stuck in the roller.Battery life has been good so far, and the HEPA filter is a nice bonus for keeping dust contained. After a week of use, I’m very happy with this vacuum and would recommend it for everyday cleaning.

10. Shark IX141AMZ Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum

This is essentially a variant of the IX141 (#5) with an XL dust cup. The larger capacity means fewer interruptions to empty the bin during cleanups, which is a significant convenience for pet owners or those with larger areas of laminate. It shares the same powerful HyperVelocity suction, anti-hair wrap brushroll, and LED headlights. If you loved the IX141 but wished the dustbin was bigger, this is the model to get.

Key Features That Stand Out

✓ XL Dust Cup Capacity: Holds more debris, reducing how often you need to empty.
✓ HyperVelocity Suction & Anti-Hair Wrap: Same powerful, tangle-free performance as the standard IX141.
✓ LED Headlights & Convertible Design: Illuminates debris and detaches to a handheld.
✓ 40-Minute Runtime: Adequate for most standard-sized homes.

Why We Recommend It

It takes the excellent core features of the popular IX141—strong suction, anti-hair wrap, good battery—and solves its biggest drawback: the small dustbin. For pet owners with laminate floors, this means you can vacuum the entire house without stopping to empty the cup, making the whole process faster and more pleasant.

Best For

Pet owners with medium to large homes who have mostly hard floors and want a cordless vacuum with a larger dust capacity. Also ideal for anyone who dislikes frequently emptying a small bin.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

XL dust cup is a major quality-of-life improvement over smaller models.
All the strengths of the IX141: strong suction, anti-hair wrap, LED lights.
Still relatively lightweight and maneuverable for its capacity.
Great for pet hair and everyday debris on hard floors.

Cons:

Battery life is the same as the smaller model, so the larger bin can outlast the battery on very large jobs.
Slightly heavier and more expensive than the standard IX141.
No mopping function.
Same general build quality as other IX models—functional but not luxurious.
