Gentle but powerful hard floor cleaning

Verdict

Utilizing Bionic cleansing relatively than vacuum motion, the Hizero F500 can suck up filth and clear exhausting flooring in a extra mild approach than lots of its rivals. I discovered it quiet, mild and in a position to deal with powerful stains, cleverly separating solids from liquids. It is rather costly, although.

Introduction

Most upright exhausting flooring cleaners work utilizing a vacuum motion, sucking up mess and liquids into a unclean tank. The Hizero F500 is totally different. This ‘bionic’ cleaner has no suction, utilizing a specifically formulated curler to select up filth, separate bigger chunks right into a bin and take soiled water to a tank.

It’s straightforward to make use of, mild on flooring and has lengthy battery life, however the F500 may be very costly.

Design and options

• Mushy-touch curler must be soaked
• Separate detergent and soiled tanks
• Easy controls

Though externally, the Hizero F500 seems very similar to every other exhausting flooring cleaner, whenever you get down it, the design is kind of totally different, and that’s all as a result of this mannequin doesn’t use suction to select up filth.

As an alternative, there’s a polymer tremendous absorbent curler, which “emulates the way in which animals lick up liquids and solids”. In different phrases, this squidgy-feeling curler is designed to seize liquids and solids, because it rolls over them.

To do that, it first must be charged with a 20-minute soak within the offered case. When finished, I discovered the curler was properly saturated and wanted a squeeze to get extra water out of it earlier than it could possibly be put in within the flooring head. Don’t be tempted to place the curler in when it’s dripping moist, in any other case the ground will find yourself saturated.

Selecting filth up is one factor, however as soon as collected, it must be faraway from the curler, in order that the F500 can proceed to scrub.

To do that, Hizero has a wiper and brush roll within the flooring head which might be used to separate solids, which find yourself within the 200ml stable tray, and liquids, which find yourself within the 600ml soiled tank. As there’s no vacuum motion, there’s no filter to scrub.

Curler, brush and tray are straightforward to take away and may all be cleaned underneath a operating faucet to maintain them of their finest situation.

To assist with cleansing, the Hizero F500 makes use of a 500ml clear water tank, which needs to be combined with a capful of the Hizero cleansing answer. This detergent combine is then auto-dosed onto the ground.

Utilizing the Hizero F500 is simple. Simply hit the facility button after which choose the mode: Mode 1 makes use of a tank of water in about 10 minutes; Mode 2 makes use of a tank in 5 minutes and is designed for heavier spills.

As soon as I used to be completed, the Hizero F500 was dropped into its flooring dock, which prevents water from seeping onto the ground, and supplies two holders for when the comb and curler should be dried. Charging is by way of an influence adaptor that must be plugged into the port on the rear of the cleaner.

Efficiency

• Distinctive stable removing
• Cleans gently and effectively
• Hair isn’t enjoyable to take away

The Hizero F500 may be very totally different to different exhausting flooring cleaners that I’ve reviewed, such because the Vax ONEPWR Glide 2. For starters, it’s far gentler, with a clean rolling motion, relatively than a number of rollers and brushes spinning at excessive pace. This can be a cleaner that I’d be completely satisfied to make use of on extra delicate flooring.

Though comparatively mild, the Hizero F500 is a reliable cleaner. Tackling my exhausting flooring with a BBQ sauce stain on it, the spill was eliminated rapidly and effectively, with the ground barely moist on the finish of it. With out extra highly effective suction, it took somewhat longer to take away the stain, the place it seeped into the textured floor, however the cleansing motion was spectacular.

There’s a niche of some millimetres on both facet of the curler, so this cleaner can’t get as near the perimeters of rooms, in my checks, because the Roborock Dyad Professional. The one exhausting flooring cleaner I’ve seen that may really get proper into the perimeters of rooms and corners is the Shark Klik n’ Flip Automated Steam Mop S6003UK, which has a fabric that folds over the entrance of the ground head.

As Hizero states that the F500 is ready to gather giant particles of filth with out the necessity for suction, I examined it with a 20g drop of rice grains. Right here, I discovered that 100% of the grains have been collected and none dropped again out onto the ground. In that regard, the Hizero F500 is best than some finances vacuum cleaners that I’ve examined.

Opening up the ground head, I discovered that the entire rice grains, alongside different larger particles, had been deposited within the tray, neatly separated from the wastewater. I’ve not seen a tough flooring cleaner that may separate filth this cleanly earlier than, so it’s spectacular to see.

There’s a caveat, although: the tray within the cleaner is far smaller than the bin in lots of vacuum cleaners at simply 0.2 litres. Because of this, I might nonetheless vacuum usually to take away bigger mud deposits, relatively than counting on the comparatively small tray right here; that stated, for smaller deposits and bits of filth that can naturally get picked up, it’s good to have this separation because it makes the Hizero F500 very straightforward to empty and clear.

Hizero says that the F500 also can cope with hair, so I examined it with human hair. It’s true that the hair is faraway from the ground, but it surely simply will get tangled across the brush inside, the place I needed to lower it away. So, sure, the F500 can cope with hair, however I believe it’s higher to hoover first with a mannequin that has an anti-tangle brush.

I discovered this tough flooring cleaner very quiet, coming in at simply 66.2dB. With no vacuum motor, the one sound is that of the rollers and brush spinning away.

Battery life is rated at an hour and in real-world use, I’d say that’s honest. That’s sufficient energy to get by means of a complete residence, simply.
