My husband said the kitchen looked like the day the tiles went down. The spray mop has gone to the garage and I don't miss it.Fiona M. · Glasgow
Life with the Vekto Floor Washer F40
Lift it off the dock, go round the ground floor once, park it back and press one button. Here is what changes in the first week.
No hoovering first, then mopping, then hoovering up what the mop pushed about. The roller washes the floor and the suction pulls the dirty water straight up behind it. One pass, and the floor is damp, not wet.
A mop drags the same bucket of grey water round every room. Here the dirty water goes into its own tank, and you tip it down the loo at the end. The colour of it the first time is a shock.
Dogs, kids and hard floors
Muddy paws after the walk, porridge under the high chair, crumbs along the kitchen units. This is for the house where it never stops.
Dog hair, grit from the garden and the muddy trail from the back door are sucked up and washed off together. The roller takes what is stuck on, the suction takes what is loose.
The suction pulls the water back up behind the roller, so what is left is a fine film that dries in a couple of minutes. No footprints while it dries, no tea towel pushed round with a foot.
Drag the slider. Left is a spray mop after a wet walk with the dog. Right is one pass of the floor washer, same hallway.
“No matter how many times you clean the floor, the mop water or steamer mop is always dirty.”What owners say about the mop they had before
The question everyone asks
Every review of a cordless floor washer ends the same way: the battery went at month 18, the maker said it was not repairable, and the machine went in the skip. Here is the straight answer.
If the battery fades below 80% of its run time in the first five years, a new one is sent to you free. No registration, no "not repairable", no special offer on a new model.
A kitchen-diner, the hall and the downstairs loo are well inside one charge. It runs up to 40 minutes, and the OLED screen shows the battery before you start. The point is finishing the floor, not the number on the box.
Roller, filter and battery are stocked in the UK for five years and sent from the UK warehouse. Not five weeks from China, not a waiting list.
The rest of it
The roller
The roller turns under power and pulls the machine along the floor, so going round the kitchen is closer to steering than shoving. For a bad back, a bad hip or arthritic wrists, that is the difference between a floor you clean and a floor you put off. The LED strip on the head lights up the crumbs and the hair along the skirting board so you can see what is left.
Self-clean on the dock
Put it back on the dock and press the self-clean button. The roller spins while clean water flushes it and the water path behind it, so the muck is not sitting in the machine until next time. Then tip the dirty tank down the loo and rinse it. That is the whole routine, and it takes less time than wringing out a mop.
Water from the tap
Fill the clean tank at the tap. The electrolysed water system treats it on the way to the roller, so there is no own-brand solution to keep buying, no running out on a Sunday, and no machine that refuses to start without it. The OLED screen shows the battery and the mode, so you know before you start whether there is enough charge for the hall.
How it works
A floor washer comes down to three things: what goes on the floor, what comes off it, and what is left in the machine afterwards. Here is how the Vekto Floor Washer F40 handles each one.
Tap water from the clean tank runs through the electrolysed water system and onto the roller. The roller turns under power, pulls the machine forward and scrubs the muck off tiles, laminate, LVT and lino.
12 kPa of suction pulls the dirty water, the crumbs and the hair straight up behind the roller into the dirty tank. Two separate tanks, so the water going on the floor is never the water that came off it. The floor is left damp, not wet, and dries in a couple of minutes.
Park it on the dock, press one button, and clean water flushes the roller and the water path. Tip the dirty tank down the loo, rinse it, done. Up to 40 minutes on one charge, and the battery is covered for five years.
Covered for five years, with 60 days to try it in your own home.
A repair shop's view
Twenty-four years fixing wet and dry floor washers and cordless hoovers that packed up at month 18. This is the one he tells his customers to buy, so they do not have to come back.
Two machines fill my bench. A cordless hoover with a dead pack, and a floor washer with a dead pack and a roller that smells. The owner has had it eighteen months, the maker says it is not repairable, and the parts are five weeks away in China. That is the whole story with these machines. I point people at the Vekto Floor Washer F40 for one reason: the battery is covered for five years, and the roller, the filter and the battery are on a shelf in the UK. The self-clean on the dock flushes the roller and the water path every time you park it, which is the bit of maintenance most people skip. Forty minutes does a ground floor. And the screen tells you what the battery is doing, so there are no surprises. That is why it is the one I tell people to buy.

What it really costs
Three ways to a clean hard floor, and what each one costs.
Brilliant on day one. Then the battery fades, the roller starts to smell, and at month 18 the maker says it is not repairable. There is, though, a special offer on a new model. The parts are five weeks away in China.
Hoover first. Then mop with a bucket of water that is grey by the second room. Then hoover up what the mop pushed about. Then wait for it to dry with the dog shut in the garden.
Hoover and mop in one pass, the dirty water in its own tank, a roller that pulls itself along and a dock that cleans it for you. Tap water, no bottle. Up to 40 minutes on one charge, and the battery is covered for five years, with spares stocked in the UK and 60 days to try it at home. Delivered free and fast from our UK warehouse.

Victorian terrace, black and white tiles that showed every print the dog left. Kitchen, then hall, then the back porch once she had been out, and it still had two bars showing. What I poured away was the colour of strong tea. Properly grim and properly satisfying.
Two labradors, grey LVT through the kitchen and a husband who'd started hinting about getting a cleaner in. Used to hoover, then steam, then wipe the streaks off with a tea towel. Now it's one go round after tea while the kids do their homework. What came out on the first go was embarrassing. Three weeks in and it feels different under bare feet.
Lino throughout downstairs and a dodgy hip, so no more kneeling down with a rag. It does the job and everything's touch dry before the kettle's boiled. Left the mucky water sitting in it overnight once and it did pong the next morning, so empty it as soon as you finish. The stand also wants a fair bit of room near a plug. Four stars for that, the cleaning is five.
Porridge off the laminate round the highchair in one go, and no mucky bucket sat in the hall.
My last one from a big name conked out at twenty months and the shop said there was nothing they could do. Bought this for the five years on the battery. Lighter to push than I expected, it sort of tows itself up the hallway. The little display shows how much charge is left so you're not guessing.
Cockapoo, a garden that is mostly mud from October to March, and a hall in Karndean. The cleaning fluid for the old one was fifteen quid a bottle so I'd stopped buying it. This runs on plain tap water. One run from the front door right to the back after walkies and the prints are gone, and it's dry by the time I've hung my coat up.

Out of the box
Click the handle in, fill the tank at the tap, charge it, and it is ready.
Stand the dock by a socket in the kitchen or the utility room and park the machine on it. The OLED screen shows the battery filling up.
Lift the clean tank off, fill it at the tap, click it back. Nothing else goes in. Check the dirty tank is clicked in properly before you start.
Lift it off the dock, press start, and let the roller pull you along. Park it back, press self-clean, tip the dirty tank down the loo. That is the whole routine.

Common questions
Along a straight skirting board, yes: the roller sits across the front of the head, so you run the head along the wall and the LED strip shows you anything left. No floor washer of this type gets right into a corner, and this one is no different. A quick wipe with a cloth finishes the corner. The rest of the room is one pass.
Damp, not wet. The suction pulls the dirty water straight back up behind the roller, so what is left is a fine film that dries in a couple of minutes. No footprints while it dries and no streaks when it has. It does not polish, it washes: the muck comes off and goes into the dirty tank.
If your ground floor is hard flooring and you are hoovering first, then mopping, then hoovering up what the mop pushed about, yes. This does the two jobs in one pass, with the dirty water going into its own tank instead of round every room in a bucket. If you have 60 days with it and still prefer the mop, send it back for every penny.
The ground floor of a normal house is one fill of the clean tank. Empty the dirty tank after every use, down the loo or the outside drain, and rinse it under the tap. Leave it sitting full overnight and it will smell, which is true of every machine of this type. Tip it out while the kettle boils and it never does.
The roller turns under power and pulls the machine forward, so you steer it rather than shove it. People with a bad back, a bad hip or arthritis in their wrists say that is the difference between a floor they clean and a floor they put off. It is a floor machine, not a handheld, so it stays downstairs on its dock.
Water from the tap is all it needs. The electrolysed water system treats the water on its way to the roller. So there is no own-brand bottle to keep buying, nothing to run out of on a Sunday, and no machine that refuses to start without it.
Yes. Dog hair, muddy paw prints, grit from the garden and the crumbs under the table are sucked up and washed off in the same pass. The hair goes into the dirty tank with the water, and you tip the lot down the loo. A spare roller is in the box, so one can dry while the other is on the machine.
No. It is for hard floors only: tiles, laminate, sealed wood, lino and LVT. Keep it off carpet and rugs. If your upstairs is carpet, a cordless hoover does that and this does the downstairs.
Yes. LVT, Karndean, Amtico, laminate, tiles, lino and sealed wood are what it is made for. The floor is left damp rather than wet and dries in a couple of minutes, which is what sealed and click-fit floors want. Unsealed or waxed wood is the one to keep it off.
Stop hoovering, then mopping, then hoovering again. Stop carrying a bucket of grey water from room to room. Stop binning a machine at month 18 because the battery went. The Vekto Floor Washer F40 does the ground floor in one pass, cleans itself on the dock, and is covered for five years, battery included. It is delivered free and fast from our UK warehouse.
