The Bissell FlipIt is great for hard floors. I like it as it is light in weight, easy to use and makes quick work for getting the floors looking great.

It does a good job.
rating: 4
I was using a swifter but didn't like having to buy the solution. I also needed to vacuum up dog hair before washing the floor. This machine gets the dog hair out of the way and does a good enough job cleaning the floor. I use vinegar instead of a cleaning product. I have laminate, tile and hardwood to deal with. I use the brush on the ceramic tile and am pleased with how it cleans the grout. All in all this product does what it's supposed to and makes cleaning the floors much easier. I bought extra pads so I can throw one in the wash and still have a clean one available.

Pretty good Cleaner After Accomodations Made
rating: 4
Like many, I was stuck with this big old cleaner that left pools of water on my floor, however I made a couple of accomodations and my floor is shining clean. The thing doesn't suck up much water for sure. That little teeny tiny cloth on the bottom is too small, so I used the larger cloths that are made for the shark steamer. I believe you can purchase them separately. They velcro right on and they make the machine much more effective. You will need a couple of them for a large area. The thing pushes much easier with this addition. I also keep a Swiffer nearby with a thick Clorox floor cleaing pad on it to dry up any remaining water that the machine won't suck up. It sounds like more work, but really very simple. The pads on the bottom were black with filth, and my laminate floors look brand new. The small bit of water that the machine did suck up was less than hald the liquid I started with and so it was filthy. I have to say that eventhough I had to make these changes, I have not found a better method of getting my floors clean. They are gleaming.

DO YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS????
rating: 5
Flip it works great, cleans the floors, does everything it is supposed to do.
I almost didn't buy it because of the bad ratings. Most people are idiots and do not read the instructions. If you empty both chambers when you are finished cleaning -<<>>- there is nothing to leak! If it takes you hours to mop a floor, and you let flip it sit by while you answer the phone, cook, and walk the dog, you will get leaks!
Fill it up, use it, empty it when done - PERFECT TOOL!!! No hassles at ALL. Even the vacuum works well, and I have a Dyson, so I know a good tool when I see one.
Negative ratings are all from fools who didnt read the instructions and/or cant start a job and finish it WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS.

No vacuum/mop replacement, but does serve a purpose.
rating: 3
First off the dry vacuum side is pretty much useless. This thing is kinda heavy and loud and using a broom is just easier...way less work.
Secondly, it doesn't do a good job with a dirty floor. Any little drips or dirty foot/paw prints that have dried don't come up easily. It can't really do anything that needs scrubbing or anything where you would push the mop down harder.
Finally, you do have to rinse out the nasty dirty water tank and the little filter and fill up the clean tank. Sounds easy but you've got about four parts you're washing in the sink. It's not something you just whip out and start cleaning with.
With all that said, here's how I use it. Sweep the floor best you can with a broom. Get out a mop and bucket (or just use the sink if it's nearby) and mop the floor. Do fairly sloppy and wet once over on the floor and scrub the tough spots. Then go over the floor with this thing. The squeegee and vacuum will get up all the dirty water and any leftover dirt or pet hair that you can just never get with the broom plus it helps dry the floor much quicker. It's also good at spot jobs where dirt/food/beverages are still wet.
So it doesn't really replace any steps, but it makes sweeping and mopping a little easier by adding a step to the end. I'm glad I have it, but next time, I'll probably look for something with rotating brushes or steam and no dry vacuum side.
