content: I bought this to make my life, helping around the house, easier. This didn't even come close. I have mopped a lot of floors in my life and this product made more work for me. The vacuum, wet and dry, has as much suction as a gold fish! If you want to sweep first and use this contraption to 'mop' the floor, just prepare yourself to then wipe up the muck that it just pushes around. A note to Bissell, Not even close! The good reviews for this thing are most likely employees of Bissell or from people that actually clean the floor before cleaning the floor. Either way, I'm getting my money back and using it to go the way of a regular mop and broom.
