Forget Dyson: This stick vacuum reliably handled my wet and dry messes (and it's on sale)

"You can't deploy your robot vacuum to clean up your toddler's spilled cereal and milk, but you can grab a wet/dry mop instead of reaching for the paper towel roll. Wet/dry mops are engineered to vacuum most types of messes in front of them, whether it's crackers, juice, pet hair, or food. They vacuum up the mess and a roller then mop to leave clean floors behind."

"The new H15 Pro is a wet/dry vacuum with two interchangeable brushes that switch from vacuum and mop to vacuum only. In addition to functioning just like a wet/dry vacuum to pick up spills and then mop floors, the Dreame H15 Pro is also an upright vacuum for carpets and rugs. 'Upright' is used loosely since the Dreame H15 Pro can lie completely flat to fit under furniture."

"I experienced some user error when initially setting up and using the robot, especially when swapping brushes. The instructions explain how to do it well enough, but clipping on the latch to switch on a brush can take a few tries. Also: Why one of the best robot vacuums for pets is from a brand you've never heard of Dreame says that this vacuum is intelligent enough to detect the type of brush roll to automatically adjust its cleaning setting from vacuuming and mopping to only mopping."

Wet/dry mops vacuum and mop most messes on hard floors, picking up debris and then mopping to leave floors clean. The Dreame H15 Pro CarpetFlex adds carpet capability with two interchangeable brushes that switch between vacuum-plus-mop and vacuum-only modes. The unit functions as an upright carpet vacuum while still lying flat to fit under furniture and includes a small rear wheel for easier maneuvering when flat. Initial brush swapping can be tricky, as clipping the latch to engage a brush can take several attempts. The vacuum can detect brush type to adjust cleaning mode automatically. The carpet brush can become slightly wet when switching from mopping to vacuuming.
