It's easy to put off cleaning our floors. Vacuuming, mopping and waiting for everything to dry can eat into your free time, not to mention the effort it takes to scrub away any stains.
The Dreame H14 Pro, currently discounted by $200 solves this problem. It's a vacuum and mop all-in-one, cleaning whatever's on the floor in seconds, and leaving the floor dry only a moment later.
From the 75 vacuums and floorcare gadgets we've tested at Homes & Gardens, the Dreame H14 Pro is the best vacuum-mop. Act fast if you want to transform your weekly clean on a budget.
Why I love the Dreame H14 Pro for quick, thorough cleans
Keeping this vacuum-mop near the kitchen has genuinely been transformative in my house. Whenever we spot a mess, whether it's oil dripped from cooking or crumbs from the counter, we grab the Dreame H14 Pro, and the floor is sanitized moments later.
Even if you're mopping floors the right way and doing it as thoroughly and efficiently as possible, it won't come close to the H14 Pro. It's like grabbing your best cordless vacuum and doing a few passes, except with the H14 Pro it's actually washing your floors, too.
As a home tech editor, this is a smart home must-have. It detects how dirty your floors are and adjusts its suction power and moisture levels to clean at its best. Plus, it has LED headlights so you can spot any remaining dirt.
Its tiny charging dock can also self-clean the appliance and dry the rollers to kill bacteria and prevent mold, so between cleans, all you need to do is empty the dirty water tank and refill the clean tank when needed.
The smart controls aren't at all complicated, and the vacuum itself is super flexible and can lie completely flat to reach under furniture. I couldn't recommend it more to any household with hard floors, especially at this low price.
