I installed our laminate hardwood flooring about seven years ago. Then I started my search for a way to keep that like-new clean look. After a couple of frustrating years we had experimented with many tried-but-not-true methods; these included dust mops, micro-fibers, flat mops, multiple spray products, and I was ready to give up. Then, we discovered the Bissell 5200 Flip-It Bare Floor Cleaner. We have never changed since.
The Bissell Flip-It is intended to be a two-in-one tool for cleaning bare floors, such as laminate flooring, vinyl, tile, and the like. It is called a Flip-It because you flip the handle one way to utilize the dry floor vacuum, and you flip it the other direction to utilize the wet vac function.
The engineering is really quite simple. By flipping the handle forward or backward, you are switching the suction port of the motor from the dry-vac side of the head to the wet-vac side. When using the wet-vac side, the spray trigger is "flipped" into the easy to access index finger position. The cleaner includes a handily stowed cleaning solution tank which dispenses any liquid cleaner onto the floor by the trigger for wet-cleaning. The waste-water tank also fits ingeniously into the handle for easy removal and dispensing. It is small enough to easily clean this tank out in any typical kitchen sink. It incorporates a safety float which blocks suction if the water gets too high to prevent it from entering the vacuum motor.
