How does it handle water(spilled liquid)/wet floors?

First of all, sorry for responding so late. It is clearly mentioned in the instructions that it should not be run on water or liquid. It will have problem and might stop working.

I have not had a spill. I think it would hold up, but I would act quickly. I would not trust it for a long period of time. It is light weight. I hope this helps.

I have no problem with excess water on floors. It is very hot steam and the floors dry very quickly.

No problem keeping the floor clean. Soap and water do the job as if the product was not there.

I don't now. The product, however, is so so at preventing slipping on a wet floor (better than nothing but not great.)

The floors have a slight dampness ,which drys almost immedietly. I guess the hot steam helps with the drying. Hope this helps

Yes, it will vacuum spills, but not completely. The carpet will remain somewhat wet and blotting, with paper of towels will still be necessary.Will take many pass overs if the spill is large. You can see the water being sucked up into the wand head.On tile or other hard surface, should do a fairly good job.

On my first try it left my floor completely soaked. I was using it like a vacuum and moving it back and forth, just as the directions suggested, but perhaps too fast. I then tried moving forward only at a slow steady pace and my floors were left with a minimal amount of water, about as much as I would expect.

I have not had any problems with puddles and it cleans very well. I had a spot on my ceramic floor where a little bit of spray foam dried paper towel to it and this took it right up.

If something leaked it would most likely go through to your carpet in the back. I have not had any problem with things leaking so I can't be absolutely sure but it does not look spillproof. I keep towels, maps, water bottles, flashlights, etc in mind. I really like it.

I keep mine on our stone hearth floor. It doesn't leak, at all, in normal operation. But if somebody knocks into it, water can slosh over the edge of the base. And it's easy to drip water off the reservoir when you're replacing it, for instance if it got wet under the faucet. So I don't take chances on getting my hardwood floor wet.

I never spilled anything on it but can't imagine it would hold up. The on off switch isn't the best and sometimes needs to be messed with. Other than that it works nicely.

I have not had a problem with wet things including water, the trick to this vacuum is to keep the filter clean. if the filter is clean then all is well

There is a caution on laminate floors that reads "Water will drip from brushes and underside of the product after use and puddle. To avoid damage to laminate and wood flooring ---- remove to a hard surface and place unit on absorbent material". Sooooo I'd say it's okay. The machine does not put out a tremendous amount of cleaner, but I would be careful of how much is sitting on the laminate. Vacuum up right away.

Using the vacuum to soak up spilled liquids would probably be fine, but you would need to check the paperwork that came with the treatment to be sure the spot treatment won't negate anything (like the stain treatment or warranty--some are very specific on what actions you need to take for spills.) Mine was okay and the water repellant function of the treatment hasn't been disrupted.

It works well on laminate. The floor mate doesn't leave a lot of water behind so there are no issues.

I spilled water all over my bed, and the mattress stayed dry. So it has worked for me.
