On days when I don't want to do deep cleaning, can I use this for regular vacuuming as well?

Yes. It was just too heavy for my. I was looking for a lightweight cleaner with rotating brushes.

Hi Samantha, Unfortunately no is only deep cleaner and is not designed for just vacuuming. Sorry!

Samantha, We don't use it that way and I don't think it would last very long if running it dry. There is no filter bag and it is made to run wet. Our problems with the product were resolved with a little adjustment to the seals. I think dry dirt in the system would not help the seals that are made for wet suction. Just our opinion. MDF

You can use it with a regular vacuum if your hose is 1.25 to 1.50 inches in diameter. The advantage is convenience. No need to drag your vacuum to the bathroom, just store it there. Good results I recommend it!

Absolutely, I use it for vacuuming and also water changes. It works well in both ways.

Yes, you can. It is really very easy you can swiff the floor and vac larger pieces as you go or pile the dust into a pile and vacuum it.

This is good for general cleaning but if you need to do an extreme deep cleaning, you would probably want to go rent a bigger pressure washer and surface cleaner. This is more of a maintenance type surface cleaner. It does help but I had to go back over my drive way with just the wand but it wasn't that hard so it removed most of the dirt. You have to get it adjusted just right (it will start to take off literally). I have a 2700 psi pressure washer and I think for the money, it is useful. It saves my back for sure. It cleans a 12 inch path so for general usage, yes it's pretty good all the way around.

I think it can be used for vacuum packing because it has a lot of suction. I too have to sometimes hold my small rugs down.

Yes if the carpet is smooth. I do not use it for my carpets as I find it does not pickup as well as my regular vacuum cleaner

I use my vacuum almost daily and wash the filter weekly. I have a dog that sheds and have mostly hard wood floors. This vacuum has saved my sanity. Hope that helps.

No. Well, it depends. I bought some of them, I work with cleaning services and YES it is the best vacuum to use every day for about 8 hours a day. The last hose I bought was separate, I bought one with 15 feet. Other peaces, like the one to vacuum floors as well. But it's way worth it! You can vacuum carpet with the big part and attach the hose in the back to vacuum the floors and vacuum a huge part without moving the big yellow part from where it is! The vacuum is very strong! Very good! For me, a cleaning company owner, is the best vacuum!

This will not do that. It is a light vacuum. You need to be a sealer to do that.

If you run it regularly, the Scoobs does a fair job of "sweeping." But, cleaning it becomes messier as the amount of dirt it picks up increases. I run my Roomba vacuum before running the Scooba.

I have carpeted floors - and I don't ever need to manually vacuum the rooms that my Roomba goes through. I've watched it when it senses a little extra dirt and it goes over the area a couple of times. I do run my Roomba daily.

This is a high efficiency shop vac. Not suitable for routine carpet cleaning. There are HEPA units made for routine household cleaning that would likely serve you better. They include carpet beater bars etc.

You have to manually turn it on. You are instructed to remove it from the pool after each cleaning. I don't see why you'd need to vacuum the pool every day anyway.

Yes, you can use this on a regular vacuum. Easily attaches to the hose. I have tried it with the vacuum & my regular vacuum and found no difference with results. The advantage to the portable one is just that it is portable. Hope this helps you with your decision.

Probably not. It's good for quick cleanup of spills on linoleum and light daily cleaning on low pile carpet, but I wouldn't want to use this as my sole vacuum.

Well I don't need to vacuum that often now but you could certainly use the dry mop that comes with this product. It's great for dusting. But I wouldn't use the wet mop on a floor covered with pets' hair. I love this mop though. It really makes it easier!!
