It drips and leaves behind the water. Its not as lightweight as advertised. I found it difficult to push and maneuver. I returned it.

I have always associated the name "Bissell" with quality--but the Bissell 5200Z Flip-it Hard Floor Vacuum Cleaner is a worthless piece of junk!
1) The motor has virtually no sunction. (I can go over the same floor area and pick up additional dust and debris using my dust mop, broom, or Swivel Sweeper.)
2) Its not easy to maneuver around furniture or corners.
3) Its noisy.
4) The filter becomes easily clogged. I usually have to stop after each room and clean it.
5) It cannot be used to vacuum under furniture or to pick up lint on lightweight throw rugs (see No. 8 for the reason).
6) It easily falls over if you do not stand it up just right.
7) The brush does not rotate.
8) The squeege (on the wet side) interferes with the back and forth movement while dry vacuuming.
9) Its as heavy as my Orek.
The only positive: The Bissell 5200Z Flip-it Hard Floor Vacuum Cleaner is easy to assemble.

I hate sweeping and have laminate floors through most of the house. Most products for hard floors leave out laminate. This claimed it was good for laminate floors as well as tile and others. It is awesome!!! Quick, easy, lightweight. Having to clean the tank isnt great but compared to having to use my big vaccum and then swift or mop (which would get too wet for laminate floors) this is just the berries. The person who just gave it 1 star I would have to wonder if they were using the dry vac side first which you need to. You have to vaccum up the crumbs and dirt ect before you use the wet vac side. I love having one sweeper that does both, and it is so easy to go back and forth from dry vac to wet & dry vac. I got mine on sale for a fantastic price too!!

I received the Flip It as a gift and have been using it for approximately 2 months-it is absolute heaven!! All the flooring in my house is hard wood-I fill the "clean" tank once and put on a clean pad (just ONE, I have NEVER needed to change the pad in the midst of cleaning) and it cleans (and dries!) the WHOLE house without even filling up the "dirty" tank. Also, the company provided hard wood floor cleaner leaves a nice shine and soft feel to my floors afterwards.
I will concur with a previous review about the "dirty puddle" issue, but this only happens to me if I leave the unit stationary for more than five minutes. It is ALSO quite easily corrected by just sliding the unit over the "puddle" once you notice it. The Flip It vaccums it right up and dries the spot.
I do use this product about once a week, so its quite possible that my floors never get filthy enough for the Flip It to just be spreading dirt around, I dont know. I DO know, that I have and would HIGHLY recommend the Flip It to any and everyone-its a wonderful product and you cant beat the price! It has replaced my swiffer AND my windtunnel vacuum as the only thing I use to clean my floors.

I have a large eat in kitchen with hard wood floors. I bought this product thinking it would make my cleaning so much easier but I was wrong! Not only does it leave dirty "puddles" on the floor if you stop moving it for a second but if you dont change the cleaning pad on the bottom every couple of minutes, just end up spreading more dirt than cleaning it. After using in a few times, I gave up when all it did was leave puddles and streaks of dirty water. Not worth it! Stick to your swifer!!

I love this product. We have a child with very severe acid reflux who vomits quite often (several times daily at one point) while eating. I was tired of constantly mopping it up. I bought this product about a year or so ago and it has been a lifesaver. It is easy to use and I dont have to clean out the mop afterward. Clean up is pretty easy compared to using a mop and bucket. We dont use their company provided solution. We just buy any floor cleaner and it works fine. We have no use to flip it and use the other side.
