This floor washer is specifically designed for carpets and fabric furniture, and not for tile floors. For an all-purpose device that can clean both carpets and tile floors, you should consider another product, such as the BISSELL CrossWave or a steam mop. These devices are better suited for hard surfaces.

The appliance is primarily designed as a wet cleaner and not as a hoover. It requires water for its main functions, such as cleaning carpets with steam and water. There is no specific function that allows it to be used exclusively as a hoover without water.
