Anyone have a recommendation for a wet/dry vacuum for the old Israeli style tiles?
Our floor gets specifically dirty and looking for something to clean them really well without spending 2 hours for a 2 bedroom apt.

Thanks!

Why would old tiles be different than new tiles?

Maybe they wouldn't, but old tiles are possibly (mine are) more grubby than newer tiles.. different material and very very old.

From my experience they just look dirty but aren't harder to clean....

As someone whose lived in rentals with old tiles and rentals with new tiles it is a WORLD of difference.
Old tiles are usually scratched and the coating on the surface is old and therefore so much harder to clean
Whereas new tiles- you just wipe clean.

And to amother Lily- the rentals I've been in it's actually grime stuck in those cracks not just a dirtier look

The Xiaomi robots are the best on the market.

IMHE : The mop functions are as good as a wet-wipe -- I still do a full mopping once a week, or a heavy mopping when needed. But it's nice to have the help, and the vacuum in all the hard to get corners is fantastic

I have a Tineco and I love it. I can do my 4 room apartment in 10-20 minutes. It isn't quite as thorough as a real sponja, but I do it 2-3 times a week (because I have little kids), makes my floors look amazing, even though my toddler seems to have a personal mission to get as much food ground into the floor as possible.

I have my Tineco for 2 years and I love it. I can’t do sponja so I only use this and it cleans great.

I just bought the shark hydrovac. They sell it in osher ad now. It's really great. Very similar to the tineco but waaayyyyy cheaper. 1290 nis. It's really fast to clean.

I got the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro. It was on some crazy sale for 50% off. It is quite expensive, so shop around for a good deal.

There are other Floor One models which are also good, though I haven't tried them personally.

Or you can get one of the other brands that people recommend which are cheaper.

Alright, sell me on the tineco:

Why 4k for a vacuum mop? I love good tools. But that's a difficult price

I also bought this about a month ago and really like it! The osher ad one is not from the official importer so the warranty is a little shorter but it's a little cheaper. There are sometimes good sales on other websites so worth looking into to see if you could get official importer for around 1400 of you want to get this one

I took the plunge and got the tineco (on sale), and it's an absolute life changer.
