This is the Rolls-Royce of floor cleaners. It has 'SmoothPower' self-propulsion, meaning it pulls itself forward and backward so it feels weightless in your hand. The LCD screen shows you exactly how dirty the floor is, and the edge cleaning leaves z...
Tineco Floor ONE S7 Stretch Cordless Vacuum

BISSELL Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner 1400B
If the stain is old and stubborn, bring out the Shark. It mixes two formulas (Oxy + CarpetXpert) inside the tool to create a powerful cleaning reaction on contact. It eliminates odors instantly, not just masks them—essential for pet owners.
