Sonic Duo Hard Floor Cleaner – Model ZZ550
The Shark Sonic Duo is the fast and easy way to clean and maintain carpets, area rugs, and hard floors in ½ the time with less effort. Vacuuming alone only removes loose dirt, dust, and debris – it leaves behind the stuck on dirt. This stuck on dirt contributes to discolorations, staining, dinginess and odors. The Sonic Duo removes 4X more stuck on dirt than vacuuming alone to leave your carpets looking cleaner & brighter and smelling fresher. Consistent use is the key to brighter, cleaner carpets. Use 2X monthly for best results. PLUS, cleaning hard floors has never been easier or faster with the help of 1,000 scrubs per minute. Hard floors are left cleaner and shinier with the Sonic Duo thanks to the non-streak cleaner that never leaves behind a dulling residue and the high gloss polish.

Better than I expected, but far from perfect I have gone through MANY floor cleaners in the past five years. If I recall correctly, I’ve had seven different vacuums, three carpet cleaners, a steam mop, a regular Swiffer, an extra-large Swiffer, a regular mop, and a “spray and go” mop. I have a bit of a neuroses about the floors being clean!Having broken my most-recent upright carpet cleaner (overuse?), but not wanting to invest a lot of money in buying a new carpet cleaner due to upcoming plans to remove part of the house’s carpet, I sought out a product that would clean carpets, would clean hard floors, and wouldn’t break the bank. I was ecstatic when I found the Sonic Duo; it appeared to be the perfect solution!__PARTS__Shark color-codes the attachments on this floor cleaner so it is easy to know what part is which. Purple = Carpet; Green = Hard-Floor Cleaning; Orange = Hard-Floor Polishing. That’s a good thing because this floor cleaner comes with A LOT of parts– two different solution bottles to attach to the machine (one has a green cap, the other a purple cap), four big pads (each edged in the color to which they apply– two purples for carpet, one green for hard floor cleaning, and one orange for hard floor polishing.), four bottles of different solutions, a storage tray, a scrub stick, and two pads for the scrub stick.__CLEANING CARPETS__To clean carpets, you select the pad you want (one for general cleaning, the other for scrubbing spots/stains), fill the purple-capped bottle with cold water and a few ounces of solution, and insert the bottle into the machine. You then turn the machine on to the “high” setting, spray the carpets with solution, and run the machine over the carpets. The machine vibrates 1000x/minute, breaking up dirt and stains. Then, when the carpet dries, you vacuum up the dirt.The Sonic Duo seemed to work fairly well for cleaning carpets. My carpets don’t look new, but they are far from new, so I wouldn’t expect perfection. They do look cleaner, though.__CLEANING HARD FLOORS__This is where the Sonic Duo shines! Almost literally!To clean hard floors (wood, tile, linoleum, vinyl), you attach the green-rimmed pad, fill the green-capped bottle with cold water and a few ounces of solution, and insert the bottle into the machine. You then turn the machine on to the “low” setting, spray the floors with solution, and run the machine over the floor. The machine vibrates 1000x/minute, breaking up dirt and stains.The Sonic Duo worked fabulously cleaning hard floors. My floors look SO much better than they did with vacuuming alone, vacuuming + Swiffering, vacuuming + steam mopping, or vacuuming + traditional mopping.__POLISHING HARD FLOORS__The Sonic Duo does a decent job polishing hard floors, but it isn’t much more effective than any other method of polishing.To polish hard floors, you attach the orange-rimmed pad, squirt the solution on clean floors, and then turn the machine on to the “low” setting, and run the machine over the floor. The machine vibrates 1000x/minute, spreading the polish across the floor.The Sonic Duo worked well polishing hard floors, but I don’t think it did any better than any of my other mops (with microfiber pad).__OVERALL IMPRESSIONS__The Sonic Duo is small (9″ across), and manuevers well, which means it goes anywhere (all the way to the toe kick in the kitchen, under the edge of the fridge, under the edge of the couch, etc.). It is a jack-of-all-trades, but is truly only a master of one (cleaning hard floors). It is mediocre-to-good at its other tasks (carpet cleaning, and hard floor polishing).The Sonic Duo comes with a “scrub stick,” which is really not part of the machine at all; it is just a piece of plastic to which you can attach a dusting pad or a srubbing pad, and can then use by hand. I didn’t really understand what to do with this piece until I went online and searched, because the manual doesn’t mention it at all.Speaking of the manual, this is the biggest area of “needs improvement” with this product. The manual leaves much to be desired. It outlines the basics of the machine, but doesn’t answer many, many questions consumers might have.
High hopes…not so much Let me start off that I have some sort of crazy obsession for vacuums and cleaners. Put it on tv and I about can’t control myself. I have a husband, 2 kids (preteen and teenage… add their friends), 3 dogs (one which technically isn’t ours but hasn’t left here in year in a half, but I still wont claim him). I have the Shark Navigator vacuum which really has held up in my house along with does a great job (whole another review I need to do) so I was thinking this little machine would be the answers to my carpet/flooring dreams of being clean. I also read the several reviews for this on several sites and I knew I shouldn’t buy it, but like I said…. it was on tv. I have an area rug in my living room. The rug looks clean, except two small spots that sit at the legs of one side of the table which if you look closely it has pee marks (from that dog that I wont claim, which I am sure you understand why I am not claiming him now). I figured this would get that out of the carpet and a huge plus is that I can switch over and do the hard floors with the same machine (what could be better, other than winning the mega millions). I vacuumed the rug (with the Shark Navigator) and I pretreated those 2 small spots. I spent a lot of time on the area rug and a lot more time on those 2 spots. I went at the area rug diagonally, horizontal, vertically, etc. and to be honest, it didn’t help. The rug looks the same as it did beforehand. I also have the Rug Doctor Mighty but who wants to pull that huge machine out for a thin area rug? (It works great, but the cost is high).Today, I used the Sonic Duo to clean my kitchen and living room floors (no hardwood floors, it is vinyl and laminate flooring) and I have a small tiled bathroom and tile around the fireplace. It took me about 35 minutes and I don’t have a large area downstairs. I felt that it did do a better job on the hard floors than it did the carpet. With that said, it is over priced by ummm lets say $150 to be nice. The pad was dirty when I was finished but if I showed you the water from the Hoover Floor cleaner you would be grossed out and I would be embarrassed. I also didn’t like the fact that I had to take the pad off and rinse it, wringing it out in the sink under water was dirty but who wants to wring out dirty pads with their hands (you also can wash these pads but recommended you do them separately from other items so lint doesn’t get caught up on the pads and I didn’t feel like running a whole load for 2 pads). Comparing it with the Hoover Hard Floor Cleaner is the same. Sadly, I thought this product would bring an easier way to clean the carpets and if it did do that, I would have to give it a higher rating and recommend it to others just to be able to use one machine for both types but that isn’t the case. I wouldn’t recommend this product for carpets at all. I did a better job using a carpet cleaner with a hand held bristled brush. If you need a hard floor cleaner that scrubs, I would go with the cheaper Hoover Hard Floor Cleaner. For carpets, the rug doctor. For area rugs…. hands, bristle brush, and a cleaner.
