Recommend for those with a very large tiled home. I have a very large open plan tiled kitchen/dining/family /hallways which takes a lot of time and effort to wash with mop and bucket ! This Karcher FC5 cleans the floors very well, they dry quickly too - my tiles look and feel polished I vacuum first. This machine is NOT a vacuum It is an expensive mop, but worthwhile if you have a large tiled home You can also purchase the Karcher solution and extra rollers from Bunnings
