I had been searching for a wet-dry vacuum for a while, and my fiancé gifted me the Shark HydroVac for Valentine's Day. Although it wasn't one of my top 4 choices, I was grateful for the gift. Due to a month of family medical emergencies, school, and work, I only recently had the chance to assemble it. Unfortunately, the experience has been disappointing. The sensors are misreading the tank levels claiming the dirty tank is full and the clean tank is empty when I didnt even use it yet. Even with the 'booster' mode on, it failed to remove stains that I easily wiped away with a baby wipe. Water was coming out clean despite using it on a high traffic area. There is also water on the chargi g deck when placing the vacuum to charge. The battery life is very poor despite a full overnight charge. I really wanted to love this gift, but it simply isn't performing. The price does not match performance. Very sad.
