The roller rotates while driving and picks up dirt mechanically. Depending on the system, it is constantly supplied with fresh water and wiped off at one edge. Check the manufacturer’s exact functional description.

Strengths on hard floors

A constantly moved, cleaned contact surface can be useful for regular kitchen and hallway cleaning. Dried or sticky stains still remain, depending on pressure, water, driving strategy and repetitions.

Do not underestimate care

Roller, scraper, washing bowl, filter and dirty water tank must remain clean. Drying reduces moisture, but does not replace regular visual and odor checks.

Limits this selection

  • A wiping roller is usually oversized for predominantly carpet.
  • Dirty waterways can smell if poorly maintained.
  • The systems of different brands are not exactly the same.
